Have you noticed, lately, or noticed people around you commenting, that there just seems to be no money anymore. There's no money for companies to make the tv shows you like, the video games you like, the local diner you like shut down, no one you know can find a job. Think about that in context of

Generally speaking I do need AI boosters to understand that I’ve lost my career and future plans entirely to AI-based cost cutting. so any time you’re talking about tech you have to understand people whose livelihoods were destroyed by a thing they didn’t choose to adopt they’re gonna be prickly lol

i’ve been so excited for this. i played the first TOËM in a single afternoon and did absolutely everything and it’s one of my favorite recent gaming memories looking to do the same with this one!

eliminate EV subsidies, ban cheap overseas EVs, ban EV component import, deport people bringing battery technology to the US, pay billions to kill clean energy projects, end fuel economy standards, and then do THIS is such an elaborate prank on the American people you almost have to respect it

with the incredible power of AI we have eliminated the tedious bit where you actually make something. now we just need talented creative people to fix bugs and otherwise clean up someone else's mess, which of course is the most rewarding part

Capcom is on a generational run. But this is no renaissance: the company has never been greater. I reported on the secret of its success, from "Crapcom" in the early 2010s to its one-banger-after-another present, speaking to many of its most illustrious producers. www.theringer.com/2026/09/03/v...

The video game industry is in turmoil, but 2026 could be Capcom’s career year. How does the company behind ‘Resident Evil Requiem,’ ‘Pragmata,’ and ‘Onimusha: Way of the Sword’ keep pumping out hits?

I wrote an essay about why I'm done using AI for coding, even if it costs me my job and career: brettcodes.com/im-done-usin... The basic gist is: AI made me a worse, apathetic programmer. I think it's bad for humanity, the planet, and the craft of software engineering. And I'm done using it.

I think if you needed any more evidence that the cuts are shortsighted and focused on cutting as deep and as fast as possible with little regard for the future, this is pretty definitive. That engine felt like magic in some spots. A colossal waste of talent and resources.

hard to say what the games industry looks like in a few years but in my head it looks like two casinos. the first casino has a $1000 entry fee. the second casino is full of people trying desperately to be the ones to make the machines that make it into the first casino

This article is SO fucking funny. "The real problem is there aren't enough 50+ game designers!" Yeah, agreed. Any thoughts on why that might be? Like maybe the fact that this industry fires treats anyone over 35 as "not hungry enough", and relies on burning out a steady stream of younger devs? no?

Yet when it comes to accommodating the needs of older players, Emmert thinks the biggest thing that's holding the industry back is that there are so few game designers in the 50-plus age bracket. "There are no elder statesmen. And I think this has hurt the industry tremendously. We lose tons of experience constantly, because gaming is always focused into a younger demographic... And I don't know whether they consciously do it, or it's subconscious, but it's just a fact."
