When I say I love Cheesecake Factory, I mean this cat who was found malnourished and wandering through a Bay Area mall parking lot. Cheesecake Factory has since been rescued and nursed back to health. He's now healthy, vaxxed, & sweet, but still needs a loving home www.petfinder.com/cat/cheeseca...

I've seen an increase in this behavior as well. I know that people gotta eat, but remember not to get so desperate for work that you're majorly undercutting wages. These companies know they can probably find someone who will do the same work for cheaper since so many people are looking for work. :(

do... people not know about negotiating rates? I've had multiple times now when I quote a client the high end of my rates and they immediately ghost me. I'm not going to lowball myself my dude this is freelance 101

I loved both Ghost games, Tsushima and Yōtei both sold very well, and Sucker Punch is not a massive studio by AAA standards. Huge bummer.

I know it's the People of Bioware who had the Special Sauce, but I also think it's okay to mourn the loss of New Voices who never had a chance to touch the IP/work with people who were deeply passionate about a thing

People abroad don't understand the level of interference Meta & bots had in these elections. 5 days before the election a far-right politician posted a fake news video that got 157 MILLION views on Instagram in 24hs. For reference, GTA 6's reveal trailer got 90 million views on YouTube in 24hs.

Its forever been the wildest thing being at games conferences -especially the largest ones- and the talk schedule is like - creating sincere art from playful naivete - balancing passion and health - how to dodge parental controls when monetizing toddlers - regrets from my 1st commercial codebase

making games so you can hopefully afford to make more games is literally a different industry from grinding up people so number goes up and it is harmful to pretend otherwise regardless of whether or not we share a platform or a binary format

good news is election stress this week means my vampire writing is going to pop off extremely it's like how aunties make the food taste better with love my writing gets better with stress 💀

Just went to a retail GameStop for a piece of my son’s Halloween costume. If you’re young and wondered what the final days of Blockbuster looked like, you can get a taste of the experience right now at your local strip mall

I love being reminded that the audience really doesn’t give a shit about the developers. Like, forget that one of the most influential studios in our industry was just executed by its publisher, just make sure the product continues on the assembly lines!

After hearing news of BioWare's closure on Wednesday, over 75,000 Mass Effect fans have signed a petition demanding that EA put another studio in charge of the franchise or license out the IP. https://bit.ly/4siIubW

I really like this worksheet! I might even use it for my own designs for the project I’m working on.

Jeremiah McCall (he/him)@gamingthepast.bsky.social

Decided to craft new version of Agential (Historical) Problem Space summary worksheet (I present a pair in Designing Historical Games for Classroom) and I'm pleased with results. Clearer, detailed but still an outline. Anyone turning ANY academic content into a game can use this. 🧵 1/ (pls share)

All the cheesecake factory talk makes me think they should have little cheesecake slice kiosks in grocery stores. god forbid a woman wants a birthday cheesecake slice out of work and doesn't want to haul ass to get one

Theranos stuff is wild because Holmes couldn't really exist the way she did without the combination of a) silicon valley rush and a focus on "move fast and break things" instead of following regulations AND 2) the mid 2010s girlboss era

Very wild times as a young black woman in Information Tech because it was very the skies the limit unless you're a person of color wondering why the codes these company make flag you as animals and not people and are rarely if ever successful in the space

Mind you, these robot dogs have existed for nearly a decade and plenty of people could tell you “oh, that’s gonna be used by the police to harm protesters.”
