Jess Krause @kessjrause.bsky.social · 08/07/2026My mom and I tried to figure out if it was one of the Triple Crown winners, but no match. Head shape is wrong for Seattle Slew, and most of the others have some kind of marking on their face. It might just be the horse of the previous owner, with their show name on the plaque. 160
Reposted by Jess KrauseDavid Lindsey Pittman @dphrygian.com · 07/07/2026My best advice for any game devs recently laid off is to keep in touch with your closest coworker friends, do a group call at least once a week, share job postings in the chat, hype each other up, and just generally look out for each other. 8532108

Jess Krause @kessjrause.bsky.social · 20/06/2026Today marks 10 years in the games industry for me! This is such a tough industry, especially recently, and I genuinely didn’t know if I would hit this milestone. But I did! I also hit 6 years at my current studio this week, and I’ve never been on a better team than the one I’m on right now 💜 3200

Jess Krause @kessjrause.bsky.social · 23/12/2025The older shows and films are also built off the backs of union workers. It’s awfully convenient for the studio execs that filming everything on the Volume just happens to avoid all those pesky unionized set builders. Why pay union rates when you can exploit underpaid VFX artists to fix it in post! 050

Jess Krause @kessjrause.bsky.social · 05/12/2025I could quote any part of this article and it would be incredibly poignant, but this part in particular stuck out to me. Art is meant to challenge people, to make people uncomfortable; but too often the people on top are willing to sacrifice it for the sake of commercial viability. 072
Reposted by Jess KrauseBruno Dies @brunodias.dev · 04/12/2025Also how childish is it to be boiling down a piece of art to just an enumeration of things it depicts that you find objectionable. If we care about video games we have to eradicate this kind of reductive nonsense. 2442125
