Well that was some looney tunes shit there at the end but you know what I'm calling this a succesful J-hook and going to bed 🥲 Good luck to everyone I'm flying tomorrow. #Wardogs @thewardogs.bsky.social

In the upcoming days (weeks, months...) I will likely be spamming @thewardogs.bsky.social and I apologize in advance. Anyway, Firing Range is open and my flight training is going splendidly.

Everyone I know has been having chaotic journeys this year to Gamescom... Glad you made it, and I hope I catch you sometime over the week!

Wardogs is awesome. Kind of making me contemplate if I should haul a laptop to Cologne...

My barber's trainee asked about my amulet of Talos today and I told him it was from a game called Skyrim and he asked if it was a very old game... The barbers supposed to be a safe space kid why would you attack me like that 🥲

Giving a World Cup to Spain for standing on business on the World stage while most of the western world failed humanity does feels right. Go Spain! 🇪🇦

Arkhaniir 🔜 Gamescom @arkhaniir.bsky.social · 19/07/2026

I'm watching this one specifically because the Spanish people have been standing on business on the world stage and it only feels right that they are given a world cup for it \o/

Very few (close to zero) career gamedevs realistically get to choose what games they end up working on. Working on a cool and/or successful game is not an inherent reflection of the skills of the individual in question.

I'm sure we'll continue having those chats, whatever it may be about next. I can't not annoy you at least once a year!

Very few in gaming, in my opinion, could claim to have achieved what these people have managed to achieve, beyond the game itself. Wherever the corporate stupidity may take ESO and it's community in the future; the appreciation people have for that will not fade. Memories, friends, lifetime-bonds.

If you go into any Elder Scrolls Online community today; you'll observe people being genuienly sad about seeing their devs being let go. And its not a "Oh no the game" sadness but actual feels for the devs, the people, themselves. That is the unique bond the ZOS team has built over the years.

We didn’t even get to announce the newest episode of the podcast this morning before the news of layoffs at Xbox, so in an unprecedented event there are actually 2 new episodes available less than 24hr apart…with VERY different vibes. Available now on your podcatcher of choice

Announcing massive layoffs and a goal to reach one billion users in the same memo is just the ultimate bad vibes move. Earnest or not, no one sees that prospect as an exciting challenge to overcome. It looks like you’re being prepped for some Amazon-style piss in a bottle workloads.

Working in games means learning one lesson over and over. You can do everything right… and still end up updating your LinkedIn.

I keep coming back to this. You can put out whatever statement you want about layoffs... make it seem like you MUST do this... no one's gonna believe that crap anyway. But when you say 1B DAU, you remove all pretense of credibility. This isn't believable. It isn't feasible. It isn't sane.

Same in Turkiye. This was the game collection AND the video game store, just with printed cover arts 😄 Do miss shuffling through them as a kid... what a rush that was.

All these years later; my brother and I will still burst into the song (not that we can actually sing) if either of us trigger a part of this scene its like waking a sleeper agent 😄 Didn't know about the sequel happening either so this whole post was just a happy post lol

60% drop in reviews if people even smell AI on your game - full supports the investors, developers, and publishers that took a hard "no gen-AI" stance, despite grifters' proclamations that they were "going to be left behind".

The thing I am most upset about Destiny is that we never got a storyline with LORD SHAXX as our NPC character focus, and now the storyline is over... Bungie I'll never forgive you for this. :(

Took me a while to realize this was a Switch missing the controller and not a Steam Deck that somehow got snapped in two. 😅

Rami giving us extended Destiny lore lessons while patiently waiting for us to get through jumping puzzles as we repeatedly fail in the most wonky ways... good times.🧡

Same same. We had one hell of a fireteam for sure and I never would've done any of the raids had it not been for it. Those were some insanely fun and absolutely sleepless nights 😆

I haven't played in a while but Destiny never stopped being amongst my favorites and definitely holds some of my best gaming memories... It's going to be one of those games I'll forever look back and miss. To all the Guardians we fought alongside with; for several moments there, we were the best 🧡

The more I look at it, the worse it gets lol. Like, it just looks HORRIBLE in every case and they somehow thought "Ah yes, this is it!" ?? The whole AI delusion needs to end already

Nooo, not Reboot :( I've only gotten to attend once and it was the best gamedev event... I had already planned the next 3 years to attend too. I hope the industry finds a way to help Damira and Reboot.

It's almost time for Ramadan, as Muslims tonight peered to the crescent moon to see if the month of Ramadan starts tonight or the day after. As with every year, I'm starting this thread so that people can ask questions, and learn about Ramadan from one person's perspective of it.

I regret to inform everyone that the smartest money people out there are, overwhelmingly, dumb as a rock www.pcgamer.com/software/ai/...

pcgamer.com

Google's new AI 'world model' has seemingly spooked videogame investors, but it's hard to know what it will actually lead to

Can auto-generated "worlds" really be exciting?
