unironically the twist of the head of the single permitted news outlet in a country being the same person who's the director of the secret police would have been so fucking good if it was in literally anything except club penguin

i have a working theory that as soon as you are in an employer and/or recruiter position the part of your brain that controls basic manners gets cut off from oxygen and starts dying

It would be cool to see the most privileged people in my industry do the absolute minimum and reckon with games media’s laundering the war on terror but I don’t think they have the self awareness to see their culpability or the mutual respect to consider me a colleague anyways so

Are you at GDC this week, but find issues with the event?
Do you agree that it has too much power/influence in the industry, that it provides opportunities to US-based and privileged devs while excluding everyone else?

Then do not post about it. Don't feed the FOMO. Don't give it omnipresence.

here’s my little design rule: if you can’t explain why you need to define what games are then you probably shouldn’t try to define what games are. unfortunately this applies to every definition of games ever. we call this cook’s loophole.

Everybody thinks 'https://' stands for 'hypertext transfer protocol secure' but it actually stands for 'head to this place, sucka' followed by a colon and two laser sounds

ziluan, acting out a fully detailed fanfiction in his dreams: "and then cao cao comes over and says how much he admires me despite everything. which could mean nothing"

appreciate koei realising how gay they made the entire cast for ziluan and then deciding to have his dream sequences prominently feature cao cao attempting to seduce him. we really are like three steps away from this just being full yaoi

Hey all! My current contract ended unexpectedly, and I'm looking for game design work with some urgency.

I'm a multidisciplinary technical artist, game designer, and programmer. I turn concepts and aesthetic vision into shaders and systems.

Boosts welcome. Leads on projects even more so!

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t George W. Bush may think that a war against Iraq is the solution to our problems, but the reality is, it will only serve to create far more.

There are other things you can put your energy towards that will contribute more to getting an industry job in the future if that's what you want. But in all honestly, the best thing you could do is acquire some non-games skill that will get you a decent stable job. Learn a trade.

writing dialogue is easy you just call a character 'some guy' and he says 'I'm just some guy' simple as
