I think the important lesson to take from the Tea Party/MAGA over the last two decades is that it makes more sense to take over a political party than it does to split off and create a new one.
Threaten to primary every Democratic seat you can and then follow through.

i guess you can't spell arc raiders without AI 😔 this sucks and if you're a dev you should be speaking out about it!
Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.
They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

I love that the Boston cop slide never got fixed and now people just willingly go down it in tribute. It’s basically a national landmark at this point

Just want to repost this since my unemployment ends on Christmas and prospects have been not great. I would deeply appreciate any connections to a QA or basically any remote position
Looks like things are getting rocky for my job security so I'm gonna start the hunt for a new thing and I'd love to work with you!
I'm good at QA Automation and testing, and also at devops adjacent things like CI/CD pipelines and docker configurations and would love to work in build eng. Hit me up!

I LEARNED THE ANSWER TO THIS
Chris's Steakhouse was a New Orleans landmark
Chris Matulich periodically got bored, sold it, waited for the new owner to fail, and bought it back cheap
The sale conditions: Can't move it, can't change the name
He did this six times
Then he sold it to Ruth Fertel

damn i literally couldn't have said it better myself (read the entirety of the thread if you want to be even more mad lol)
perhaps the most egregious thing that happened with the Future Class was when The Game Awards took money from Old Spice in the name of the FC & simply... pocketed it
it wasn't used to fund Future Class initiatives, it wasn't used to help lift marginalised developers
they just profited from us

Your regular reminder that IGFs, BAFTAs, and the DICE Awards mean a hell of a lot more than The Game Awards do.
If you’re at GDC, attend the awards. If you’re at DICE, attend the awards. If you’re able, watch the BAFTAs via stream (unless you’re fabulous enough to be invited, of course).

So glad I made the trek into NYC to see @realgdt.bsky.social’s Frankenstein in a theater on 35mm 😄
The amazing sets, sound, music, were that much more entrancing in a full theater where no one uttered a peep (except for natural reactions to the film)
Now I can finally watch the trailers, haha 🤪

This is coming from an inaugural member of the Future Class in 2020. We had all thought and were told that we had a bigger role than we did. But aside from Future Class meetups and the occasional chat with industry leaders there wasn't much else for us to do unless we did/organized it ourselves.

accolades are important to marginalized folks. not being able to access even an archived post hosted by TGA website kinda sucks ass. not to mention how bad of a look it is to just destroy 5 years of "hey look at us we're uplifting 50 incredible devs" to "don't look don't look"
looks like all mention of the future class program (which started in 2020) has been wiped from TGA webpage 🤪 the only archive that proves it existed is through the wayback machine. Here's my cohort (the last one): web.archive.org/web/20241119...
