can't take "LLMs are people" discourse seriously when we haven't even convinced everyone that all people are people.

For any designer or aspiring product person it's a healthy rule of thumb to click on anything involving Katie Dill.

I would genuinely love to read think pieces from folks ragging on XBOX’s whole reset era stuff. What strategy do you think will work and why? Would be a refreshing read instead of “hurrr Microsoft badddd” being blurted out on short-form platforms

Could somebody just ask Christopher Harborne “what do you want?” Guys donated shy of 100 million to right wing and far-right parties and candidates. Like….just say what you want you gimp

As a UIUX designer these articles are never not funny but to see user solutions result in "yo add a radius on the corners bro!? everything's fixed!" is always fucking hilarious

Too heavily tied to outdated foundations, the very same that leave it neck deep in concrete with only uninspired design changes trying to do the heavy lifting of “reinvention”. Early 2000 shooters continue to be impossible to remake

The Clayton by-election is happening for 1 reason. When Farage is found guilty for his £5m “gift”, which triggers a by-election. He will use it to trick idiots into thinking it’s “mainstream” and “elites” trying to overthrow a democratic mandate by the people of Clacton. #UKPolitics #Clacton

85% of console players are buying digital, 100% of mobile is digital, 99.5% of PC is digital. If people really gave a damn they've shown a strange way to show it for the last 2 decades. Folks really need to stop equating physical media with 'ownership' #sony #digital #disc

Well, good luck Burnham. You’re gunna need it. Everything you do will be wrong. Media will be against you from day one, while they pave the way for Reform only to ask the question, “how did we end up here?” without a fucking hint of self awareness.

Perpetual consolidation is bad, but what do some people actually think will happen if some of these studios go indie? They're going to be letting staff go, reducing scope and trying to create something that has more than <100 concurrent players or doesn't take 6 years and $85M.

@patrickhwillems.bsky.social currently binge watching your stuff and I have a question stemming from smushing two of your videos together... If we end up not having movie stars, won't de-aging tech die naturally? because who wants to see random de-aged actors.

For all the self hype from PC native players you'd think games wouldn't be worried about releasing around GTA seeing as its not out on PC for another year or so... It's almost like PC is a secondary market in some respects #stateofplay

@jasonschreier.bsky.social Im hoping after your video discussing game dev budgets the resounding response to the news First Light cost $200m will be "IS THAT ALL!?!?!" from everyone. 7 years and 200 million is impressively efficient

One thing lost in the Bungie/Sony disaster: that $1.2B retention fund was seemingly just golden handcuffs for senior equity holders. Execs hovered up the cash, waited out their vesting cliffs, and left rank-and-file staff to face mass layoffs. It was an exit strategy, not a rescue nor LTI. #destiny2

I used my Star Wars Fallen Order review to talk about how publishers put studios on the line by drastically switching up projects. ...Would have been a lot more insightful and less obvious if I released it 2 years ago when I wrote the actual script lol better late than never I guess

I dropped this before a single Saros review was released. Happy to see my Metacritic prediction was spot on. Substantially less happy to see the core thesis of the video could come true. I hope not. I <3 Housemarque and Saros was a joy to platinum and my GOTY so far.

Trading Luka for conditioning issues? Luka averaged 33.9 points, 9.8 assists and 9.2 rebounds last year! He’s a future Hall of Famer, he DRAGGED the Mavs to the final so much so that when Kyrie or anyone else won a game it was a huge deal yet he did it day after day. And we let him go 🤡🤡🤡🤡
