People are so YouTube poisoned they forget that Ghost of Tsushima was one of a very few American games to get a perfect Famitsu score. There’s a demand for this style of game.

had a "video game" talk at work and someone mentioned the new assassin's creed game and how "ubisoft made everyone in japan mad." i had to calmly explain to my coworker how asmongold videos and facebook video game groups are not legitimate new sources.

to some extent elon must know that a lot of people want him dead right. like you got to hope he is aware that a large portion of people in the world want him to die

I'm gonna keep reposting examples of people not taking shit because it's important for us to see that you can, simply, reject the shit. Say "Uh... no no no, we will not be tolerating that."

I write about trump take egg.

NEW: Whitman Walker, a LGBTQ health center in Washington DC, has scrubbed its site of descriptions of gender affirming care services. This is pure cowardice and stabbing the trans community in the back. While services are not affected, it will limit access to resources if patients can't find them.

I really hope that moving forward we see new game studios pop up that are smaller, leaner, and focused not on building some new big AAA experience, but just making small projects on short timelines and building up a back catalog that can support a team between games. And then scaling up v slowly.

Condé Nast management will start requiring employees to be in the office 4 days a week on 3/3, allegedly to make us more productive. Yet for months, many of us have gone without desks, often being forced to work from the cafeteria, HR floor or hallways.

I spoke with trans and genderqueer developers about working in games in the US amid an anti-trans administration and harassment from online communities. Many feel left behind by the companies they work for. “Can’t piss off the bigots, because they spend money.” www.wired.com/story/game-d...

Apparently not enough people are aware that I co-edit an unhinged blog about how great Final Fantasy VIII is. So here's a recent post about hunting down fellow FF8 sickos at a game convention and playing Triple Triad in real life

Tried to organize some thoughts on the current generative AI push in video game development. What bugs me is how much executives seem to think that the human touch has no bearing on why people like games, and that players will just play ANYTHING. www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/why-w...
