Hi! I was laid off from Firaxis this morning. I wrote leaders and civs for Civilization VII (NDA for now) and Deadpool and Storm for Marvel's Midnight Suns. I also wrote the award-nominated Hindsight.

I'm available for full time, remote work starting ASAP. DMs are open:

Are we limited to which prompt we can do on a particular day (in other words only "Learning"-themed projects on 10/1, "Revenge" on 10/2, etc.), or are the numbers just coincidental?

Hey @headgum.com, I've just been listening to an episode of the @3blackhalflings.bsky.social podcast and it was interrupted by an ad for ICE. What the fuck gives? Get that hateful, xenophobic shit off of your system RIGHT THE FUCK NOW.

Just to warn you, there will be more than a few comparisons with the Myst series in this review. Probably unfair to this game, I realize but hey, you gotta go with what you know, right? Also, slig...

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station.

Here's one thing you can do: a disney+ subscription is around 16 dollars.

Go on Patreon/Kofi, find your top 16 creators/youtubers with less than a million subscribers and give them each $1 a month.

Changes lives, believe me

Mathew Buck @filmbrainbmb.bsky.social · 21d

I think it's becoming clear that if you like indie creators, you're going to need to support them any way you can. And that doesn't mean money, just spreading worth of mouth can be powerful as well.

This bullshit bill is called The "Anticorruption of Public Morals Act".
If you live in Michigan, please call, fax, and email your representatives and Governor Gretchen Whitmer to veto it.

Michigan's porn ban specifically bans being openly transgender as being pornographic. Don't let this one slide. It is a ban on being publicly transgender on the Internet.

Don't forget wishlisting a game you are even remotely interested in or just think looks cool really does help indie developers SO MUCH!

(Even if you don't plan on buying it, wishlist it to help)

Thoughts on #Neyyah so far: Loving the aesthetics, but GOTT DAYUM does it throw a lot of names at you! If all goes well, text review to come soon, with a Let's Play after that.

Finished playing #BanjoKazooie #Nostalgia64, and the playlist is now on YouTube. Since it was meant to be a livestream which would have finished by now anyway had technical difficultes not gotten in the way, I've made the videos public rather than scheduling them.
