To anybody who sold their studio to a big company, thinking their beloved games will carry on without them at the helm and that the good people they’ve worked with will be looked after… do a flip. IP thievery should be outlawed.

Even if it causes an *actual* war, they’re “far too entrenched to pull out of AI now as all the investment already sunk in would collapse various global economies.” I’m a gnat’s pube away from initiating a prepper video binge.

I think this should also translate quite easily to the tv and film industries. Every production, the shifts the crews put in is insane. Us actors have it so *ridiculously* easy by comparison.

having the rights to the muppets and not being able to work out how to make a muppets tv show feels like having two slices of bread, some butter, a knife, some cheese, and a recipe for a cheese sandwich, and not being able to work out how to make a cheese sandwich

When you give YouTube ads absolutely *no* information to make an informed guess to sell you the right product, they just default to banking/trading and gambling. How *monumentally* depressing is that?

It worries me a bit that the industry is in a place where everyone seems to want the exact same thing serving up on a platter over and over. Remake my favourite game. Reskin it. Sell it to me again. Don't change things. Don't try new things. Don't confuse me. Don't challenge me. It's getting stale.

This site needs a break. Post 3 good things, none of which are the cessation of a negative 1. My granddaughter broke into a massive smile when she saw me today 2. 3. Honestly, that’s more than enough for me xxx

By far, one of the nicest people in the dev world, and so after many years following this, it’s wonderful to see this finally launch. And my god it looks so damn good. Steam deck downloading now (yes, it’s verified!) and can’t wait to play it later! ✨🚀✨

So… you can connect a usb stick to an iPhone and transfer photos from your camera to the iPhone *very easily*, but you can’t then connect the iPhone to a Mac and transfer those files over usb-c. Honestly, I think I’m done with this shit, I’m digging out my 3310.

"You're recording at Pitstop?" Yes! "Ooh that sounds exciting!" It is!! "Can you give a hint to what it might be???" NDA baby!! "Is it different to stuff you've done before???" YESSS! "Ah... so... not Baldur's Gate 4 then... 😐" [sighs into the middle distance]

I need every single person who’s trying to fill a hole in their soul via the pursuit of money to see how utterly useless it is as a salve. You’ll still be this unhappy as a billionaire. Be a normal person and fill that void by mildly entertaining teenagers with weird games.
