Please know that this is one of my few legitimate areas of actual, high-level professional expertise: Kicking the healthiest people off of a health insurance program will bankrupt it. Not 'could;' not 'might,' not 'probably," but absolutely will, with mathematical certainty.

microsoft have essentially bought up and bulldozed almost an entire american arts industry as a half-hearted distraction from their main project of trying to monopolise and rent-seek global digital infrastructure and military contracts

Struggling to find something to say about the Microsoft news. It's all just so uniformly terrible. For the devs let go, for the devs who remain, for the fans of their games, for the health of the medium & industry alike. No good has or will come of any of this, and I loathe those responsible.

@maxscoville.bsky.social and @brianaltano.bsky.social undoubtedly had a huge affect on my watching and reading IGN growing up. I haven’t been visiting IGN regularly for many years, but it’s sad to see them leave. Good luck to them (and the other folks laid off) in whatever they do next.

I’ll reserve judgement on Wolverine’s hand holdy nature until I’ve played it. I remember FFVII Rebirth having a room without yellow paint and I could not find how to exit a room for a good 30 min.

Extremely curious to know how much money Kojima was asking for for Physint. I also want to know his timeline. We’ve seen basically nothing from OD and it took 7 years for Death Stranding 2 to come out, and I’m sure it didn’t sell as well as the first one.

Hey everyone. 

Last night, to my great surprise, I received a long email from Saber Interactive CEO Matt Karch. He apologized unreservedly for the awful way he spoke about me in the press. The email’s full text will stay between us; I’m not that kind of girl. But I have confirmed it was from him. 

Matt said he regretted escalating, and how people online were speaking about me. I’m not worried about being called slurs by random commenters—I’m a trans woman, that’s every day for me—but it stunk to have my skill and reputation built of 20 years in games publicly maligned by someone with institutional power. One thing I saw people saying about me, and that Matt fueled the flames of too, was that this is not my first time calling a former employer out, so I must love drama or be hard to work with. The truth is, bad treatment is everywhere in games; I’m just more willing than others to call it out. And I call it out so maybe others will be willing, too, when it happens to them.

 I’ve been firm from the beginning that I was telling the truth; I think we can all now agree that’s been borne out. Matt expressed a desire to make it right with me; at this time I don’t really know what that looks like for me, and I’ll have to take some time to sit with it, but I do at least accept his apology. None of this changes my stance on AI. Matt and I obviously differ on this, and as a CEO the consequences of its use fall on him, and unfortunately also on his employees.

Apologies are simply in too short a supply these days to spurn one when it’s offered. 

God willing, this is the last statement I’ll need to make about this.

I’ve seen so many people say EA deserves what they get for being a bad company for so long. Many rank and file people are about to lose their jobs to pay off this debt. The choices of those at the top are what made you so angry at this company to begin with and yet you’re still dismissive of them?

I’m sad people who made Destiny lost their jobs, but a part of me is so happy to see that game finally be dead. Finally. We got Bioware to make a Destiny. Rocksteady made a Destiny. Every game dev wanted to make a Destiny when they shouldn’t have. And damn that UI to hell as well.

Watched Obsession and loved it. I haven’t had a movie genuinely scare my a deeper level in a while. Inde Navarrette is absolutely brilliant. The whole scenario is horrible and messed up on so many levels. The ways it portrays toxic masculinity and relationships is really well done.

I was always fairly middling on The Boys since it debuted. I think the first two seasons are good TV, but not great TV. The show always went for shock value and bombast over good character writing imo. It was always slow and meandering.

The thing about Mass Effect it is *expressly* a product of its time in the post-9/11 American culture, and also just like the fifth bioware rpg in a line where you are a person granted world-shaping authority, and you can enjoy and critique that without hoping the people behind it were morally evil

Mass Effect is an extremely post 9/11 game. It’s fine to dislike it for those reasons. It’s fine to like it for those reasons or other reasons.
