if you know my line of work i never thought this would be why alien vs predator is trending

As an English university instructor, I co-sign this post. It isn’t obvious to younger generations who are used to quickly adopting new tech and apps why gen AI is unwelcome given most of adult figures around them use it too.

couldn’t happen to a nicer team of devs and it doesn’t hurt that the game’s story is truly incredible

My “you’re over 30” advice is hold onto the bannister. Stairs will kill you and not even look back

Every day that this horror continues, I think of Omar El Akkad's tweet: "One day, when it’s safe, when there’s no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it’s too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this."

when people ask me for good LA korean food recs my heart grows three sizes like the grinch who was transformed by the power of love

We sat down with @eland.bsky.social, developer of the innovative Japanese learning puzzle game So to Speak. What started as a personal mission became a six-year solo development journey that transformed an academic researcher into an indie game developer. hitsave.org/from-phd-to-... #indiegame

I wrote about Lili for The Guardian, a game that translocates the story of Lady Macbeth to modern-day Iran: www.theguardian.com/games/2025/m...

Yes and! I've been there; I get it. I can only speak for myself, but the same mindset shifts that helped me heal my burnout were the ones that allowed me to let go of that cynicism—which makes sense when you consider that resentment comes from giving past your boundaries.

This is coming a month late but my talk with @katedollarhyde.bsky.social, Designing Relationships: How to Make Compelling RPG Companions, is on the GDC Vault. Yay!

This is insane. Republicans have inserted language into the budget reconciliation bill that would ban states from regulating AI in any capacity for 10 years. from @404media.co www.404media.co/republicans-...

A prescription I took for years cost $300/month without insurance. This year the markup became (checks notes) $1500/month ✨

Truly - discourse from underinformed people is not worth consuming.

It's all fun and games until it has to be fun and a game

Today is the 111th birthday of Viola Ford Fletcher, the oldest living survivor of the 1921 Tulsa race massacre

cough super fun to be in the middle of a packed aisle at pax in boston and suddenly hear ten people go “pope! pope! pope! american pope!” as someone in a pope costume waft past. anyway this is how i found out

I cannot adequately describe what it feels like to watch your students backslide into illiteracy and forego basic critical thinking skills in real time. If you place the essays I was grading in 2015 versus the ones I get in 2025 it isn’t even close. It’s devastating to watch.
