OpenRA is the best way to play Tiberian Dawn, Red Alert, and Dune 2000 online or with skirmish bots. It's also extremely moddable, pretty much an RTS game engine. The Combined Arms mod has GDI, NOD, Allies, Soviets, and Scrin factions playable at the same time and an entire single player campaign!

Lots of excitement about the squeaky beach sounds in Big Walk! You'll all be happy to know it's the real thing! Was absolutely giddy to get to record them on an actual Australian squeaky beach in Wilson's Promontory. Yes, if you didn't know some beaches there really do squeak. It is pure joy.

This isn't about games but same for games. Please don't let anyone tell you you're doing creative things "wrong", including myself. You're not here to make my things, or their things, you're here to make your things. Feedback is just another perspective - believe in yourself.

This was a fascinating exercise: find out what went wrong with creativity in the games industry. The conclusion: there are too many cowards controlling too many critical levers, and until we figure out how to put people -taste, creativity, and craft- back at the top, we're going to be stuck.

Basically "we thought we could just ingest data and design happens". If you ever wanted to know why AI will fundamentally fail at doing the things CEOs want it to do, it's because CEOs that haven't come up through the field somewhat recently are generally fucking clueless about work.

I cannot recommend AAA folks going indie. It's brutal out here, funding is rough, and the processes that work in AAA do not translate to indie. If anyone that was laid off insists on going indie and wants to chat about the risks & complications, I'm always available for a chat or call.

My husband started reading to me before bed and I am the happiest I've ever been with him
Appreciation
After 13 years of marriage, I am the happiest I've ever been with my husband. We got married very young, and have 2 boys under 3 years old. I am finally out of my postpartum haze. Feeling like myself again! My husband has always been so supportive and helpful as dad/husband and we have gotten a lot closer after having kids.
Recently, he started reading to me before bed. I asked him about the book he was reading and he asked if I wanted him to read it to me. It has been one of the most intimate and special things he has done for me. I look forward to this every night now and have already picked out the next book. I don't want this feeling to ever end.

Later, the US part of this is that one of the scientists that invented nukes, which then killed 200,000 people in two blasts, regretted everything & later made Tennis for Two.

I hope things in our industry change for the better in the future. I will not allow anyone to feel this way again.

Sexism isn’t new in this industry, nor is it new to me, but during the last #DICE confernece, I experienced more sexism than I have in the 6 years I have been in games. Which says a lot because I was gamergated a few years ago.

At DICE, I had men gawking at me, eyeing my body, licking their lips and snapping their neck to look at my behind. I was dismissed by several people, people assuming I am a student or someone’s assistant. I was not taken seriously or respected until someone vouched for me in conversation. This isn’t a new experience for most women in games, but I was painfully aware of it. Other women at the conference also were aware of men staring and eyeing me up, I confided in several people about how uncomfortable and uneasy it was making me.

I have also had people try to make romantic and sexual advances towards me. I understand that is just part of the game industry culture for women but I am not interested in participating. I also don’t think that should be common practice. We are at a work event, please act accordinly and respect the women in this industry.

This is my fourth DICE, and it will not be my last. I will not allow people in this industry to intimidate me from engaging with my peers and celebrating the people in this industry. I tell students and scholars all of the time to be careful and not allow anyone to harm you into silence. I figured it was time for me to take my own advice.

I hope people see this and understand that this is an onging issue and something needs to change.

I blame none of the organizers or anyone who works for DICE for any of this. They are all wonderful people and I see the work they do to make sure DICE is safe for everyone. The culture in our industry must change! I refuse to allow any one else to feel the way I felt at DICE.

There are many things to love about Rami’s top 10 for 2025 but this is one of my favourites.

No market research would've approved a French
j'RPG. No genre coverage graph would've led to PEAK. No player count prediction would've funded a decade-long development cycle for a game about blueprints.
The games you love are built by people who got to dream, and had the resources to back it up.
