What can I say, I pick a game and play it to death. Mostly.

me, a remote worker: if you can't figure out how to run a studio remotely (*especially* after the pandemic) that's a skill issue

Oh and please let me know if you have downloaded or are playing the #harrypotter event in #fortnite.

Just because I'm curious. Not because my block list needs more people.

And before anyone tries, it doesn't matter if it's free. Epic makes money from it and that money goes to support transphobia.

Yuuuup. Welcome to hell.
The games industry brings in 300 billion dollars a year. The guy who made DOOM gets his projects canceled, the guy who made Katamari Damacy is broke, everyone in your feed is begging for a job and there are 50 new games coming out on Steam every day all going towards buying Gabe Newell's next yacht
Keita Takahashi (Katamari, Wattam, Noby Noby Boy) has moved back to Japan, and says he may be forced to quit the games industry due to To a T underperforming.

He also says he'd love to work on Katamari again, and for someone to invest in his studio.

So on the one hand, the trending thing on Bluesky is kinda cool to stay informed about the most talked about things.
On the other hand, I am inundated with people using those topics and hashtag to show me animals in various state of injury or illness. Capitalising on more eyes.

Please stop. Thanks.

Why is her skirt transparent?

And why the close up on her ass?

I mean at least pretend that your game is about the cool powers and the pvp and not just for gooners to jizz to... What the fuck?

Waking up at 2pm, what day is it... SUNDAY? Wha... Hang on...

I started playing #Hades2 on Monday afternoon. Since then, there has been a game awards and house stuff, but it's mostly been a blur, let's see how many hours in so fa....

HOLY HELL HOW HAVE I PUT 80 HOURS IN ONE GAME IN 7 DAYS??

I think people forget how much time it takes to play the same 5 hours of content over and over again to get big.

Or better, ask any of the people on the Megabonk leader boards how many hours they spent to get there. (Before the 6-12 hours of sitting on place watching numbers go skyward.)
Someone straight up tried to tell me that speedrunner culture has ruined gaming because it seeks instant gratification.

Oh yeah, the people who replay the same games thousands of times to shave a fraction of a second off their times are TOTALLY in it to feel immediately rewarded. Sure thing.

Logic seems to track.
Protip: Games that use generative A.I. for its "artwork" is allowed to be pirated because the devs are ok with taking other people's work without compensating them.

Damn I don't get to do a Spotify Wrapped this year because Spotify accepts advertisements for ICE recruitment and I'm not about that.

That said, Tidal gave me a recap. And amazingly my own album isn't even in my top 10... But you can tell Eurovision 2025 had an Impact.

You know, I too was added to a signal group chat. But mine was just offering me a opportunity to earn money from home.

I feel like it was run by similar ilk though... Scammers trying to take advantage of me.

Anyway if the whole "USGovt" thing fails, at least he has work experience for doing that!
Breaking news: The Pentagon’s top watchdog found that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth violated security protocols meant to protect U.S. troops by using a personal device to share sensitive operational details on the messaging app Signal.

laid off workers don't get to commiserate with the team or studio for these end of the year wins.

the process of being made redundant feels clinical and removed (for lots of reasons) and can leave an awful stain on how we view our work when it's no longer "ours"

I can't even disagree with this.

Much like the Vikings, I don't have a defense.
CEO pay is >1000x the average employee
0.1% of people have more wealth than billions of people
Homes are unaffordable
Prices keep going up
The Epstein files are running the country
And somehow the Vikings are worse than all of the above

Is Post Malone the human embodiment of "6 7"?

Like he's popular. I just really really don't get why and I think it's because I'm old.
