crunching at least one year before a game’s release… just delay the game…
NEW: For the last seven weeks, Naughty Dog has enacted mandatory overtime for staff to finish an internal demo of their next game, Intergalactic. The game won't be out until 2027, leaving some staff wondering: If they're crunching now, what will next year be like? www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Tomorrow, the House of Representatives will vote on a bill that bans gender-affirming medical care for any transgender person under 18, and threatens any medical professional providing this care to youth with 10 years in prison.

Tell Congress to protect trans youth and vote NO.
Protect Trans Care Now
As wave after wave of extreme measures to criminalize and strip trans people of rights and safety continue, tell Congress to act.

just gleaned a really cool insight from a koan sound video about finishing projects which really resonated with me. deciding when art is finished is an intentional act of acceptance and a decision to relinquish control. and that’s why it’s so hard for me

Bruh there is a serious Snuggie reference in the latest Alien Earth episode

alien earth episode 4: robot protag can “hear” alien communication above 20 kHz. No other robot can (??? Despite it being a SOUND). Humans ask her to make the sound, so she does. Despite it being above 20 kHz, the humans can hear it. Why didn’t they just record it with a mic and pitch it down?

more than ever right now making raw art from the heart without any major commercial incentive is an incredibly important thing to be doing. do NOT be silenced by your own fear or doubts
