Hey everyone, we have some big news to share!

A preview of Lackadaisy Season One - the Speakeasy is in its prime as Mitzi and the band regale the crowd with an original musical number, Last Call. This seemed like the ideal way to announce that Lackadaisy is now officially a ‪Glitch‬ Production!!

The real-time filtering of price points and sections is slow and never returns the search results you want. You click on a seat and it disappears into the ether. It's absolutely musical chairs chaos.

This is not just a business practice but something Ticketmaster has sorely lacked in the past; customer experience. Getting into the waiting room and queue is one thing, but once the venue map appears, you're already deflated at your chances to get anything. You're scrolling around for scraps.

Yes the touchpad on Dualsense could be used to remap the PSVitia functionality if needed. I would have thought the Vita library and PSVR would be on PS+ Premium by now.

I couldn't score Blue Jays ALCS tickets. Not even for Game 7. What really grinds my gears is that Ticketmaster lets people on the day of sale, permission to resell them to the public. There should be a cooldown period. At least 24 hrs to reintroduce the stock of resale tickets.

Uh oh I've already fallen behind on Inktober. Time to bank it lol. I have a good reason why. Beening doing workshop series with CLC x EA and planning to enrol into a Google's AI course.

Still unsure why this game along with Killzone Mercenary never got ported to PS4/PS5.

I hope signs suggest an Infamous collection remaster as well.

When I did my UX case study for Project Ortiz, it was important to put accessible controls for the creators 1st. Metatags that comply to Creative Commons rules is a potential 1st step. Don’t scrape our data without consent, NOT after the fact.

Ridiculous and appalling that Open Ai, amongst other GenAi companies, think they can dictate how THEY use OUR works.

No, Open Ai, it should not be authors and copyright holders opting out of your exploitative models. It should be you, Open Ai, asking authors and copyright holders to opt IN.

OpenAI's new Sora video generator to require copyright holders to opt out, WSJ reports

OpenAI is planning to release a new version of its Sora video generator that creates videos featuring copyrighted material, unless copyright holders opt out of having their work appear, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday, citing people familiar with the matter.

This isn't a review of Silksong, since I physically can't play. Instead, this is a reflection of the Metroidvania genre, particularly exploring Silksong's failures and minor successes. Read my latest Access Designed on @ign.com here:

Hollow Knight: Silksong Reinforces the Metroidvania Genre’s Accessibility Barriers - IGN

There are overarching accessibility problems in the Metroidvania genre, and Hollow Knight: Silksong is just perpetuating and reinforcing inaccessible barriers.

I'm working on a little something and I need feel good, positive stories from in and around games to work with.

Whether it's a personal story or something you've seen within the games communities you're active in, I want to hear about it!

So the MLB ballpark app…

I can DL an older version of the app. Ok fine. Sorry you need to DL an update. Which I cannot do bc I’m on an older iPhone and I can’t get the newest iOS.

This needs to stop. Stop storing tickets in only in your apps. Allow phone web browser support to view & scan tickets.

I have never been to GDC. I wish GDC Vault was much cheaper. Castle Wolfenstein? lol

Benjamin Rivers 🇨🇦 @benjaminrivers.bsky.social · 19d

Best of luck to any who attend next year's new GDC. I don't know any non-Americans who feel like parachuting into Castle Wolfenstein for B2B meetings.

We gained a lot from GDC, but sadly this era is over for many.

See you, #gamedev people, here in Canada, or in Europe, or in Asia. 👋

That's something I have thought about doing a photo safari. My dad use to subscribe to Nat Geo and I would look at the pictures. At one time I wanted to grow up to be a geographer.

a tweet by toby fox that says "I didn't try to learn Japanese for a long time because I thought it would be too hard. But now I love learning it and I use it every day.

If there's anything you want to learn, don't be stopped by thinking it'll be too hard! Try it! Game-making, music, art, language, anything!"
