I swear you literally cannot win in this industry

We are literally goverened by morons who are in the pursuit of destroying art.

I've also noticed in the newest version I'm getting this constant bug where after the editor updates it auto highlights a random object in the scene, and opens up a random folder 🙃

Is it weird to say I think Firewatch might be a revolutionary game?

One of the worst parts of applying for jobs is how I'm expected to write thousands of words tailored to a specific job, then just move on like I didn't spend like an hour or two on it only to see "we've gone with someone else, also no feedback".

You need to understand how fucking broken this country is and how little this will help. Why are Labour the worst? Jesus Christ the bar was on the floor and they still tripped.

Not a nostalgic one but Celeste is probably the peak of 2D Platformers!

graphic that says no ice in Minnesota itch.io charity bundle

The No ICE in Minnesota charity bundle submission period is now open: itch.io/jam/no-ice-i...

All games, free and paid, TTRPG and browser based-alike are welcome

Submissions are open until January 26 & the charity bundle supporting a Minnesota based Immigrants' rights org will go live in February

At this point I'm borderline begging companies just to even give me a chance to interview and test ._.

I think applying for jobs has been the single most demoralising thing I've ever done in my life. Not just games industry, just in general.

Stressing about money knowing there's no fucking end in sight for unemployment. It's awful.

Hah I found that great quote. The deities bless this wonderful person that is @neilnewbon.bsky.social

Using genAI for concept art is so fucking stupid because like... that's where you get the cool shit. Thats the blue sky phase where artists make pieces of art that will be seen by a teenager later and change their life forever. Why would you want to start from mediocre. Why would you do that.

heads up

Our statement on the recent layoffs affecting workers at Coatsink, Splash Damage, Glowmade & Square Enix, putting over 300 workers at risk of redundancy in the run up to Christmas.

I really hate that the AI bubble has actually made me suspicious of regular art these days, it fucking sucks 😭

how is it possible to have a job application denied after an hour of applying when it's a massive studio and the job posting has been up for like 20 hours 💀

Truly will avoid every game that uses Gen AI in some way (until some proper regulation but that's a pipe dream so probably forever).

A screenshot from Celeste. Madeline stands by a memorial dedicated to those who perished on the climb up Celeste Mountain.

happy transgender day of remembrance

thank you for sticking around in the hardest of times. if you haven't, you are missed dearly

please live 💜

Fuck cancer.

Nice. Tune into the Game Awards Nominees announcement and they can't even do the bare fucking minimum of attempting to pronounce Erika Ishii's name correctly.

But Faker Galio after all this time 🙏

One of those days where you wake up with a rejection letter before 9am and it drops you a mini existential crisis about whether or not you've wasted years training for an industry that will vehemently deny you

I can't believe this is a real advert from a company. It looks so fucking bad I'd be so embarassed to release it oml

Happy birthday!!

AI "art" is souless.
AI "videos" are souless.
AI "games" will be souless.

The bubble needs to burst before more people's lives get destroyed by greedy corporations.

it was good knowing you 😔🙏

I beat Path of Pain in 40 minutes blind, I think I'm a gamer?

Getting hit with so many rejection letters man 😭 it's so demoralising to wake up and see like 2 in my inbox immediately

I can take the blue pill and do some D&D prep for my session on fucking friday

OR

I can take the red pill and play more Hollow Knight

Getting to the point where I'm eating Kimchi with most food. It's actually too addicting
