Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

We've had months of snow, ice, and/or sleet around Boston, so I've been desperately looking forward to California weather for GDC.

The day I leave, here's the local forecast for Boston:

Potato started a new thing where he'll jump up on the bed and leap up and down on my chest and stomach every morning as soon as he thinks I'm awake. All 45 pounds of him, just effusively happy to do so.

a screenshot from Outer Worlds 2 showing a scarecrow wearing the "Battle Helm of Ptero-Bane" which is a dirty upside down bucket with two eyeholes punched in, and a crudely drawn red mouth. It has the INCOGNITO mod, and the description is "protects about as well as it holds water". You have an option popup to either pick it up, or equip.

A screenshot from Outer Worlds 2 in which you have equipped the Battle Helm of Ptero-Bane. The entire screen is black except for two relatively small eyeholes that allow you to see the scenery, and also the now hatless scarecrow.

Took me a minute, but finally rolled credits on Outer Worlds 2. Hell of a game. Actually the first one I've played in quite a while that I will buy on a Steam sale to play again. If you like good faction storytelling and gameplay, you owe it to yourself. 9/10

You're making me pre-order this cover in addition to my usual Jenny Frisson cover pre-order, by the way. It's stellar.

I love games and so many of the people who make them. It was an honor to accept the award on behalf of the team and a privilege to be able to speak to what I believe in. β™₯️

I wrote him for the last Star Wars Battlefront game, which had a fair amount of spoken lines. Hundreds, I believe? I'm happy to be wrong.

One of my personal goals for GDC next week, if I run into anyone from Massive Monster, is to earnestly thank them for Cult of the Lamb.

Absolutely delighted to say - this is out now!

We've also launched a podcast to go with, the first two eps of which are live, including an amazing interview with @darbymcdevitt.bsky.social, writer of Black Flag.

New eps weekly, we have some amazing people lined up. Genuinely thrilling.

Meet The Unconventional Publishers Trying To Unfuck The Games Industry Developers turned publishers like Innersloth and Pocketpair are leveraging their success to help other indie games thrive.

Anyway all of this is endemic of the mode through which we monetize video game development. It's shifted to offloading risk from the wealthy publisher that can afford it (tencent) to the poorer developer that cannot (wildlight)
we don't have to make games like that
