Just yawned, stretched, said “Wow it feels so good to be well-rested!” and then immediately fell down the stairs. Like you could not make this up.

Rockstar union workers have set up a solidarity fund to help them survive and fight after 30 of them were fired in an attempt to destroy the union.

Help them fight back! If you can, any little bit you can donate will massively help their efforts.

@liz-shrikestudio.bsky.social tells Rascal about the process of creating her pseudo-autobiographical horror RPG about finding meaning before death, but also accepting the unknowable.
You Will Die In This Place is an autobiographical RPG told through multiple, fictional perspectives
You will be drawn to this game.

realizing there is a profound modernity in the "maximize each time slot" ludonarrative of Persona or Consume Me, the pressure to balance all your resources towards barely fulfillable goals, achieving salvation only by weighing the costs and rewards of meals, hobbies, friendships

‘Special thanks’ is for people’s dogs and cats. Not for people who spent five years of their lives actively developing a videogame for you

it's really cool* how an entire generation of insightful, considered writers with diverse perspectives and backgrounds has effectively been forced out of a dying games media while those who remain in frighteningly rare stable jobs get to joke about being friends with "the white house meme guy"

Imagine if publishers decided all books had to be three times as long, had to feature full-colour illustrations on every facing page, and, ideally, would cost the same as they did in the noughties.

That’s what we’ve done with video games.

For a report for Access Granted, I'm looking to speak with accessibility consultants who HAVEN'T been credited for the games they've worked on. I'm aware of this impacting future opportunities, so I can assure anonymity. Feel free to send me a message if you wish to speak about your experiences!

I don’t talk about it much because the situation doesn’t really change but it’s still insane to me what an enormous amount of really talented game developers are out of work. just whole studios worth of incredible people, often people who worked on beloved games, unemployed.

Parents, please check your kids’ candy this Halloween. I’ve just found an ancient metal whistle with the inscription “QUIS EST ISTE QUI VENIT" inside a Snickers bar. I blew it and heard a note of infinite distance, and now I’m haunted by a figure in pale, fluttering draperies. Be safe.

NOTHING is lost by properly crediting individuals for the exact contributions they made. You list the entire executive suite who never touched a key and yet people who ground on the game for years are regulated to a "and they were also here." It's not hard. www.gamedeveloper.com/business/rid...

There’s hardly been any game dev stuff from myself since I’ve been slammed with the day job and film journo work.
