Hey, I hate to ask, but if you read my game writing guide and found it helpful in any way, I'd appreciate a review. Someone decided to give me 2 stars because it was too "woke" for them and it hurt my rating 🫠 www.amazon.com/Game-Writing...

I'm very sorry to announce that I was one of the devs affected by the Obsidian layoffs today. At least for four years, it was a beautiful dream. If you need a writer with experience in everything from the fog of war to romance - especially if you're open to remote - please get in touch.

If you play games, you need to follow this couple. They find bargains and sales from all over the place and post them conveniently so you can shop anytime. And unlike a lot of sites, they don't just do Amazon, so you can order from a LOT of sources. I love 'em. Again, not paid, just love games.

Watch this. 19 minutes and $12 to get meds at a public Chinese hospital. Without insurance. As we slash Medicaid to start unnecessary wars and cut taxes for the rich. 🇺🇸 We should all be so much angrier than we are. It doesn’t have to be this way. #MedicareForAllNOW

man I dunno this is just off the top of my head, probably missed some things

GDC informa survey of the industry with the question "From your perspective, what is responsible for the rise in layoffs in the game industry?" and the answer "The economy is heading south so people are battening down the hatches. Money continues to flow upwards and consolidate in fewer hands, leaving the rest to fight for crumbs and fold. The promise of cheap labor - whether it's AI or offshoring - combines with the pressures of our capitalist system on infinite growth and competing for ever larger slices of the pie to keep costs down. The business chases profit to the point where our industry seeks out the lowest cost methods to produce the most revenue, sacrificing quality in favor quantity and a sweatshop approach to development. Funding sources have dried up, with fewer investors or publishers willing to fund a game through completion and instead pulling out partway, leaving teams abandoned with incomplete games and no money to finish them. What funding exists requires significant investment on the side of the creators in the first place - money that, again, is not available except for very few - or is dedicated toward the AI bubble, incentivizing companies to go all-in on a technology that requires them to destroy our own labor market."

For those who don't know:

What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
