Hey all, my husband @kevinonthelam.bsky.social found out that he’s going to be laid off next month. 🥺He’s a Staff Character Animator who has been working on The Outer Worlds 2. We’d greatly appreciate any leads that you have, because times are expensive and we have two little boys. 🙏 Thank you!

Ah lots of places I’ve spent very little time. Sounds awesome though!

I’m curious how many cities actually DO have a walking culture. I’ve lived in SF, San Diego, Austin TX, St. Paul, and now Orange County CA and I’ve never lived anywhere with a real walking culture. Sometimes bikes, but never walking. I feel like it’s maybe just NYC and Chicago?

I have two children under SpEd (one with 504, one with an IEP) and there’s nothing I wouldn’t do to fight for them to have access to every single bit of support they’re entitled to at school. Special Education is not a partisan issue. This is ghoulish.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

These Rube Goldberg things at playgrounds are a really cool idea but they last like a month. I’ve never seen one that wasn’t broken, jammed with leaves and trash, missing the important components. We can’t have nice things. 😥

Wondrous details can be found lurking wistfully in the skies of Spirit Crossing... and sometimes those details are *really* happy to see you!

I wish y’all cared this much about soccer 😅😢

I really enjoyed this book. Everything is Tuberculosis by John Green. I've been off the nonfiction train for a hot minute, but this one has really sucked me in. If you have interest in things like public health, systemic inequalities, third world countries...it's fascinating.

She also sat BEHIND her orchestra, not in front. And they played Billie’s Strange Fruit. Just so much symbolism.

Hell yes Hayley Williams, this is how an absolute queen writes lyrics in 2025. She’s out here critiquing southern white nationalism and performing with a black orchestra youtu.be/sNNYei__joU?... That’s what’s up 👏👏

One cool feature of Steam is they provide a Harassment Zone for each game you announce. It's a place for people who hate progress to come and crap all over games they haven't even played. No, they won't help you moderate it, but hey, at least you can't delete it!

I think MMOs of that scale are just enormous risks, lauded team or not.

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

I am not a praying person but Dolly Parton being sick might bring me as close as I get to speaking a word or two to any possible higher being. The world needs her. 😩

✍️ our newest developer blog comes from Justin, one of our Art Leads at Spry Fox.

Justin sat down to walk us through the inspirations & thoughts that went into concepting the visuals for the Shrineworks in Spirit Crossing.

let's have a read!

A digital illustration showcasing concept art for "Shrineworks", living stone structures in the world of Spirit Crossing (a game being developed by Spry Fox.) The structures are beige-grey and covered with moss. An assortment of tubes is sticking out of them in a life-like manner.

Yeah a bunch of people are super pissed at the staff here for how they’ve been handling moderation.
