Mixed feelings today. Seems like Activision was (mostly) spared, but many great colleagues weren't. Games feels so strange these days, kinda like we are all playing squid game with each other. Guess we'll see when the next round of XBOX layoffs happen.

hey @talkpython.fm have you heard about @jackkoppa.dev's browse.show? i was listening to a recent episode and thought "how sweet would it be if i could find other times y'all talked about XYZ thing." you should make your stuff searchable -- unless it is, and i didn't know.

Only in America do we repeatedly and angrily insist, over the bodies of our dead gunshot children, that guns have nothing to do with gun violence.

I know it's a tough job market out there, but I realize not a lot of people who work in AA\AAA know about WorkWithIndies- but it's probably one of the best places to find off-the-beaten-path listings that you might not come across on LinkedIn. www.workwithindies.com/categories/a...

Was watching a video from jgod this morning, and I think what the #callofduty community forgets is that atvi doesn't make #warzone decisions in a vacuum. It's no secret that they have lots of data, and can use that to inform the direction going forward.

Just signed a new law to promote Kei truck freedom in Colorado! This expands access to affordable, fuel-efficient transportation options, helping Coloradans save money and get where they need to go. Excited to join 38 other states in breaking down barriers for Kei vehicles!

I'm late, but I'm super interested in how mtg uses data to help with the r/d process. Also, I'm also in the ml-data-game space and would love to hear about that transition.

This is really interesting. Groundbreaking study on the value of libraries and “third places.” “A whopping 82% of people who used the library’s physical space and 79% of people who physically attended programs reported more optimism regarding the future, compared to only 58% of digital-only users.”

@shutupshow.bsky.social can we get a list of games for people who don't like games or people who are new to modern games. A lot of my friends have young kids and they need games with a quick teach but are still deep enough for adults.

I haven't seen a blatant hacker in ages. I'm probably bad at the game, but I'd wager they are concentrated into high skills and ranked modes.
