I don't begrudge the existence of Universes Beyond. I got in thanks to Final Fantasy!

But in my first year of playing the game, I will have been around for 5 UB sets and only 3 actual Magic sets.

That feels rough.

When I look at Magic's release schedule for 2026, I just think...

As someone new to the game, that is still learning and falling in love, I would like more actual Magic to fall for.

Jason Blum is a fucking hack.

britt hayes @britthates.bsky.social · 2d

Jason Blum's take on AI sucks. an AI takeover isn't inevitable, and treating it as such (while also referring to filmmaking as "content creation," smdh) helps AI companies promote the lie that their deeply unprofitable, destructive tech is more powerful and useful than it actually is.

Most did, but you can guess exactly the kind of people who were mad.

From speedruns, to LEGO building, to movie screenings, to concerts in the park, and more! Here’s what you need to know about GDC's search for new partnerships.

Ashley Cooper @ashleycooper.bsky.social · 2d

Okay, so is GDC just not a game professionals conference anymore?

Lego? Speedruns?

San Francisco is expensive and America is unsafe. This is your play?

Game Developer @gamedeveloper.bsky.social · 2d

Calling partners for GDC 2026! Deadline extended to Friday, October 10

If you think a game about going after the KKK would be controversial due to the current political climate, it's a good sign you should make a game about going after the KKK.

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

Scoop: Ubisoft cancelled a post-Civil War Assassin’s Creed last year

Company leadership deemed the project too controversial for the moment, sources tell Game File

That's awesome.

For a while, I seriously considered trying to do the same with a Sega Naomi cab, but never pulled the trigger.

Still think about it once in a while, though!

Ashley Cooper @ashleycooper.bsky.social · 5d

Siiiic. What are you building?
