Wow. LOISH got accused of using Ai to make her art. I started following her on early deviantart. I remember first seeing her paintings in college. This is ridiculous, no one is safe. Artists Ive followed for actual decades are getting harassed because their work has been stolen and regurgitated.

It's been a nightmare trying to figure out how to watch the WNBA 1st round on these damn streaming platrofms. It feels like a cryptic riddle that I fail to solve 60% of the time.

I get asked this a lot, so I wanted to create an article where I share my go-to beginner resources for someone starting out game development in Godot. This weekend I was asked that again, and it pushed me to finally set aside some time and write it! ko-fi.com/post/Learnin... #gamedev #godotengine

I'm excited for Metroid Ravenous! Glad Mercury Steam gets another stab at building on what they did on Dread. I feel there's lots to improve upon there so I'm pumped to see what they do. As an OG 2D Metroid fan I def love that it highlights Samus improvising and thriving while isolated again.

I desperately need non-games industry people to understand that your regular average game dev does not make millions of dollars off of these AAA/AA titles. istg comment sections make me want to poke out my eyeballs with a stick sometimes.

Hey! Unfortunately, with my first job in the games industry, I have been hit with layoffs at That's No Moon. Hit me up if there's any environment art positions open remotely or in LA! I'm gonna go back to personal projects and playing cyberpunk probably 👍

I would like to see more companies admit this - being a public company no longer means running a successful, thriving business. It strictly means delivering growth to investors, every single quarter, who do not care at all about the product the company sells or the people who produce it.

Savage.
"Devolver and its board are seeking shareholder approval to delist, believing becoming a private company is in the best interests of Devolver, its employees, its partners, and its Shareholders as a whole," a spokesperson for the company told GamesIndustry.biz.

"We’ve made an announcement about this.

"The purpose is simple and positive. Being private will allow the Devolver Digital team, especially the finance, legal, and executive team, to singularly focus on the long-term health of the company and less on satisfying the requirements of the public market, which have nothing to do with being a successful game publisher."

It's been a failure for years now but since we've got the receipts out now I'll restate: It is a monumental fumble by Marvel and the MCU to squander Mahershala Ali as Blade. Glad for him that he can move on without all that garbage now.

Just had a first poke around Fading Echo, which came out this week but seem to have sold approximately nil. Which is terrible, as it's VERY good and very slick so far. A kinda Splatoon-inspired platform action adventure. You can turn into a water-blob form that absorbs elemental effects from liquids

I’ve had this open as a tab for a while; our int’l touring earlier this year seems to have permanently wrecked my sleep so this morning at five I began exploring this open tab, clicking around. A remarkable, meticulous work: of art, of literature, what to say…give this your time.

Some photographs from the 'Save Our Devs' rallies in Rockville, Montreal, Dallas, Austin, and Redmond—held yesterday in protest of the latest mass layoffs at Xbox. I'm told by a union organiser that over 150 employees turned out in Rockville alone.
