Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers
Say it with
Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase
Pointing hands
(They're called manicules!)
Don't be left behind
Broadsheets are the future

All of you: Cursed Epona doesn't exist and can't hurt you. Cursed Epona:

Epona (Link's horse), already vaguely creepy in the normal picture due to its extremely weird, human eye, made even creepier through an awful edit making her eye closer to her mouth and her extremely disturbing smile

I'm at the Megadeth concert in Montreal, and they ARE singing A tout le monde to the french-speaking audience, just perfect.

This is super cute and cool - the husband and wife team who developed the cult classic Battle of Olympus are celebrating the 40th anniversary of their company and remaking the game as their "swan song" in game dev. Coming to Steam next year in Early Access: store.steampowered.com/app/5013380/...

I am this guy who likes to submit for talks and defend a topic, likes to give talks, often refers to talks for interesting knowledge, and still somehow manages to be caught by surprise and panic when he realizes those steps actually involve preparing the talk.

Skunk: 1 Orion (my dog): 0 This is the World Cup game I would not have minded skipping. At least it was not a direct hit, but just being in the blast radius was enough that a vague odor is still lingering after two baths.

On ne se rend pas assez compte de ce qui arrive. Il n'y a pas tant d'employeurs que ca en France, c'est un gros morceaux qui a pris, dans un contexte où en 2025 il y avait une baisse de 50% des offres d'emploi, alors qu'on continue de saluer l'ouverture de nouvelles écoles privées du JV.

With a few days of staycation, finally diving into Metaphor: Re-Fantazio. I love Persona and had a good idea of what I was getting into, but even like this barely an hour in I am completely in awe of the amazing sound design.

And for all of the the reporting on the dire situation of the industry, the pessimist in me feels worse is to come and we're not yet discussing enough the consequences of the bonkers pyramid schemes of AI hardware appropriation and how it will price players out of gaming over the next 5 years.

Found a perfect way to piss off my environment artist friends

A spot where two buildings are nearly touching. The one on the left is a glass skyscraper and the one on the right has ornate Roman Revival details. The cornice is overlapping the glass building by a few feet and it looks stupid as hell.

If folks are curious, I curated a list of narrative tools for games here a while ago litotic.com/ndwiki/doku.... many of them are free or have trial versions many game studios use custom tools (it's not the most up to date, but can give you pointers, depending on what you're trying to do)

With Agones moving to @cncf.io, I'm excited to be keynoting Kubecon EU with Jean-François Hubert, Development Director at Ubisoft (albeit for 3 minutes, But it'll be fun I promise! 😆) We're doing a runthrough of how Ubisoft orchestrates multiplayer games with Agones! sched.co/2HgQn

For Ubisoft, delivering seamless multiplayer experiences to a global player base is an infrastructure challenge of massive scale. It requires managing thousands of game servers with a global footprint and absolute resilience.
Join us to see how Ubisoft solves this by leveraging Agones, the open-source game server scaling engine on Kubernetes. We will dive into the real-world use case and production data behind Ubisoft's fleets, demonstrating why they bet on cloud-native tech. Along the way, we’ll trace Agones' evolution from its origins at Google to its current home in the CNCF—showing how a community-driven standard is now powering the biggest names in the industry.
