This has been my pinned tweet for years but it's as true here as it was there: the highlight of my #gamedev career to date was this spectacular bug from #StarWarsBattlefront Elite Squadron on the #PSP.

If you want to see how UI text size and contrast scaling can be done across a game's UI, up to TRULY HUGE SIZES and high contrast, alongside a whole host of other great options and design, you will struggle to find better than Atomfall. This is well earned, congratulations Rebellion!

One of my hobby goals is to paint this terrain piece and get pics of my Squat army like this. Iconic.
Afternoon, I thought you all might like to see these great pics Emperor Jim shared over on discord (they kindly gave me permission to share).

I don't play any epic so I love getting to see these terrain pieces with the armies laid out in front of them.

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step.

Whilst this sounds insidious, it's almost certainly an honest mistake. As someone who has wrestled with the black arts of Steam backend configuration, whomever was involved at Bungie's end has my profound sympathies.
Marathon pre-orders somehow caused Destiny 2 to begin installation on Steam

In the 2010s, the Icelandic tv station Channel 2 accidentally added subtitles from a gritty crime drama to an episode of Teletubbies.

I have translated some of the highlights

Italian voice actor Carlo Bononi was the voice of all of the characters on Pingu. A trained clown by trade, he used a theater technique called grammelot, which consists of "speaking" in a mix of babbled gibberish noises. He improvised all the voices live and unscripted.

Heyyy Narrative Designer/Writer friends!

Does anyone have some solid advice for a friend of mine getting into the industry? They're still in school, so they have time!

They'd love general advice on what skills, work, and things they should be actively doing to land a role.

Thoughts?

I helped put this together for a fanzine about a year ago, but figure folks hear might like to see it too.

Such a great pic. Makes me want to do more with backdrops and scenery.
