I remember seeing the first signs of a games industry money crunch at DevCom in 2023; investors were only willing to commit to a single funding round, and they would get half your company in return Three years later, that would now be considered a *great* deal
Why isn’t anyone funding video games anymore? aftermath.site/you-are-error-...

I went from 3-5 recruiter pings a week to maybe 5 a YEAR and I have a social media foot print, 3+ bug name studios on my resume, and am a specific high demand, low supply disapline (Systems/Gameplay/Economy). It's REALLY bad
A quick note for the people reading my EA story and thinking 'well, if it's so bad, why don't they leave?' Simply, there is nowhere to go. There is dearth of jobs right now across the game industry—just relentless cuts across the board—and people cannot just uproot their lives on a whim.

Steam's AI disclosures are akin to "forcing developers to list their voting history", says man who must hate seeing eggs virtue signal that they're free-range. https://bit.ly/4yHFEyK

Kavanaugh stops in action: ICE tackled a non-verbal kid near his school, left him with injuries requiring surgery, and then left the scene when they realized he wasn't the person they were looking for www.independent.com/2026/10/23/i...

Replying to @librarypunk.bsky.social
In the same way, automating the labor of peer review seems straightforward. It's labor, lets fuckin Fordist that shit. It's labor of "someone who you can trust as a person looked at this". The AI is wire-mother. It appears as someone you're supposed to trust but you don't.

Not a big story, it's just the Attorney General working with an imprisoned pedophile to help cover up the pedophile President's crimes conducted with his best friend for 15 years, a pedophile who the President sent, as a birthday card, a drawing of a naked adolescent girl.
This report is genuinely overwhelming, in terms of the evidence both against Trump and of a ham-fisted cover-up. Including one instance in which Ghislaine Maxwell was actually about to mention one of Trump's young accusers and Todd Blanche told her to stop talking. The media response is "yawn."

i took down my old post because of a spelling error, which is less embarrassing than losing the election and immediately having your passport confiscated because you are being prosecuted for massive corruption. i hope Jair and Flavio grow old together in whatever prison hospital has the worst food

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...

Funny coincidence: this estimate of China's cleantech avoided emissions is about the same as the potential *added* emissions if all planned data centre gas plants go ahead ketanjoshi.co/2026/09/16/n...
The solar panels, electric vehicles, EV batteries and wind turbines exported by China in 2025 will avoid annual emissions equal to those of the UK and Portugal combined, according to my new estimates. Avoided emissions increased 30% compared with 2024 exports.
