For any folks who may not know me from the other place, I’m Will 👋 I’ve been making games since I was a teen, most notably being a big part of Cult of the Lamb. Now I’m in Scotland working in AAA for a while. I post a lot of silly stuff tbh.

making 3D models? Coding stuff? It’s shit at that too

seems important

Y'all Metroid Prime 4 looks so good but the connective tissue between each zone being a giant desert and them seemimgly not being layerd the way Metroid games usually are is a bit of a bummer for me.

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have launched a massive, nationwide strike.
Baristas in 40 cities have walked off the job on the busiest day of Starbucks' year.
Upwards of 12,000 @sbworkersunited.org members could ultimately go on strike as the union escalates.

EA Partnering with Stability AI is not only an insult to the creative industries but an insult to every single person they've laid off in recent years.
Games are nothing without the people who make them. Disgusting.

This shit has no place in the games industry, or any creative industry for that matter.
Disgusting.
