Use them for anything, just make sure to credit me!

Nothing sadder :(
Land at left in this aerial photo was planned to be AREA15 Orlando. A counterpart to AREA15 Las Vegas, where Universal Horror Unleashed opened last year.
The pandemic ended the plan. Property has been for sale, and was recently purchased by Walmart.

This is hilariously/depressingly true so very, very often.
Studios running on big investment money can't afford to keep a 3v3 multiplayer game going, but fans now run Age Of Empires Online (now on its second or third community-made expansion) on a smattering of Patreon donations a month.

if your multiplayer game has a peak of like 100k players its fucked. its dead. give up now. if it has a peak of 100 players and isnt out of early access and most of the updates are from a community mod because no one knows what the devs are doing: it will live forever

“Asses.masses” is theater for the post-Twitch age, performance art for those weaned on “The Legend of Zelda” or “Pokémon.” Most important, it’s entertainment as political dissent for these divisive times.

What playing a 7-hour video game with strangers in L.A. taught me about the resistance
The touring video game show "asses.masses" reached Los Angeles, and brought with it a crowd ready for action.

Catherine O’Hara’s death hit me so hard this weekend
When anyone from SCTV dies it’s like 30 people have died. Every character they created was as alive as anyone else you’ve ever met.

ICYMI, Gai*man is slinking out of the shadows and posting again, trying to scuttle his way back into the public's good graces.
Please take care of yourselves, believe women, believe survivors, and fuck that guy.

There are a lot of roles in game dev where someone bad in a role can do damage, but a bad producer can be so unbelievably damaging that it truly would be better to have no one in the role at all.
Just as good producers are force multipliers, bad producers are like throwing sand into a gearbox.

A good producer is absolutely an incredible force multiplier and allows the folks who are creating the actual artifacts to be more effective.
A producer beholden to methodology or who does not understand the needs of the game they're working, however, can do irreparable damage very easily.

I reposted this, and then saw some discourse in the replies, so here's my take: big games absolutely need managers and producers. In fact, as I've grown older, more of my time is spent on being a manager and producer. But I think the underlying sentiment here is: trust the people in the trenches.

Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment.

All those people downtown yesterday, no ICE involvement, and not one incident. ICE shows up in a neighborhood and now another Minnesotan is dead. It's pretty obvious who the violent outside agitators are.
