I'm a mid-senior designer looking for work on game projects.
I'm a 10+ year veteran of both AAA and indie, with primary skills in level design and narrative design, but I've done technical design, art, mid-level programming, tech writing, and senior-level QA

Remember the response to anyone who went to the Riyahd Comedy Festival?

Yeah uh I wouldn't recommend touching this with a 10 foot pole, regardless of what they offer

This is personally heartbreaking for me, to see my beautiful, beloved, brave baby effectively sacrificed on the altar of Copilot.

The EPA has removed references about humans causing climate change from its website. No US government website can be trusted for science information.

Just heard disappointing news that @warren.senate.gov will co-sponsor the Kids Online Safety Act again despite overwhelming opposition from LGBTQ, human rights, abortion rights, and racial justice groups.

This is a horrific betrayal of her constituents, particularly trans youth and their families.

There is a direct correlation between how fake your job is and how much value you see in AI
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.

I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?
Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

idk man if someone jokingly accused a mutual friend of a parent's death, that'd be really, really fucked up, especially if it was explicitly a joke

that's a thing you accuse someone you virulently hate of, not a friend, and the fact that it's insincere somehow makes it much worse
Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

LOOK AT THIS TOOL

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH I NEEDED THIS TOOL WHEN I WAS POLICY DIRECTOR AT A STATE ENERGY AGENCY

LOOK AT IT

YOU CAN HAVE DIFFERENT, NEW PROBLEMS THAN I DID! NO MORE OLD PROBLEMS! ONLY INFORMATION!
You can use this new tool to answer questions like:

“What kinds of Climate Risk & Adaptation bills were intro'ed in AZ last year?”

“Which bills in MI's most recent session focused on Building Electrification?”

“Did IL pass any ESG laws in 2025?”

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

We actually should not have empathy for people who subjugate children to their own torturous personal beliefs. These children suffered just as much pain and permanent disability as if they had been severely physically abused. This is not an innocent mistake. A functioning society cannot allow this.

This whole so-called “parents rights” movement the right has taken up and the left is supposed to kowtow to for votes is so obviously anti-child it really bothers me to see it presented as anything other than justification for abusive “parenting” and disregard for actual science on child development

This is absolutely going to happen with @prodeusgame.bsky.social and like a hundred other games, by the way. 1000%. Every game that has custom level sharing that doesn't just let you load a local file on PC (console is understandable) is a lit fuse leading to one bad VPS bill.

it's going to be quite ironic if they announce a sequel and they just HAPPEN to have all this content for it

I'm really surprised people aren't more leery of UGC like this - you upload your stage to them, they own it! They can do whatever they want with it, including selling it in the future.
We have some news about the stage-sharing in HUMANITY. User Stages uploading functionality in the game will end service at the end of March 2026.
