NEW: I spoke with current and former EA employees to understand how the latest layoff round played out and the realities of daily life at the U.S. publisher. The short version? EA is controlled by an executive class that "cannot fail, only be failed." Workers, then, will always pay the price.

RIP

its a budgeting issue get off my nuts

Wuthering Heights (Kate Bush, 1978)

"Excuse me, I requested The Wets"

who's that? #rats #art #ratsky

People talk about Bluesky users "being in a bubble" like it's a bad thing but the more I think about it the more I kinda like it? A protective bubble I could deploy for me and my friends sounds great. I wouldn't want to be in it all the time though, maybe if it had a 10 second cooldown and 650 HP?

Mass Effect was my ultimate white whale, my all-time dream project. For the last couple years I'd been in discussion w/ BioWare & EA to take on the project & as part of that I wrote close to 20 minutes of music to explore where the franchise can go next, may as well share it!

Alongside MDEC & @themagicrainmy.bsky.social we helped coordinate exclusive trailers from Southeast Asian developers at the SEA Game Awards 2026 @ LEVEL UP KL We featured recently launched and upcoming games from 🇮🇩🇲🇾🇸🇬🇹🇭🇵🇭 in front of ~300 live audience members during the award show.

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'm genuinely shocked that this game is free. It's polished, beefy, seems well designed, and the demo did relatively well on Steam. Sign of the times? Overwhelming competition? Either way, grab it. It's kinda like Darkest Dungeon/Griftlands with Borderlands' setting and sense of humor.

This article does not discuss one major reason why chocolate in the West got worse - Ghana and Ivory Coast, the two African countries that are the biggest suppliers of cacao globally, got organised and started demanding fair prices for it. www.reuters.com/world/africa...

I will die on this hill. Warhammer needs to evolve if we don't want to see it slide further and further into fascist propaganda.

This is something we get accused of surprisingly often and all I can say is: yes. Good. I am here to destroy the hopes and dreams of husbands who don't think they have to add value to their wife's life.

OK bro (watching Dangerous Liasons 1988 bc I watched The Scandal and liked it. There's a baby keanu in this)

In the distant future, humanity has been subjugated. You are the Operatives. Enforce Doctrine's Will Operatives Revolve is a scifi/biohorror slay the spire-like that I wrote. It releases next month and you can wishlist it now! store.steampowered.com/app/3004810/...

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

The fact that we've agreed to call these gambling sites "prediction markets" furthers their bullshit. They predict nothing and it's a disgrace that news orgs have partnered with them and pretend they have news value. THEY'RE JUST A BUNCHA LOSERS GAMBLING.

The achievement of Serbian students overthrowing Aleksandar Vučić can't be overstated. In 2024, they began protesting. In 2025, they transformed a protest movement into civil dissidence. In 2026, they became a political party — and two months later, crushed a corrupt state-entrenched authoritarian.

This is just insanity. One of the best studios to ever do it, with a big-budget immersive sim based on a major Marvel property ALMOST FINISHED, and nobody wants to release it!? The big business side of this industry has gone completely mad.

I have been walking around the house randomly muttering "Bioware?!" in tones varying from incredulous to furious. It is somehow still impossible to grasp.

Maxis fucking prints money. They do it cheap and they crank out packs and updates on the regular, and Sims fans devour them. They are the proverbial cash cow. So why lay those people off when you're trying to cover an $18 billion buyout debt? This is why leveraged buyouts should be illegal.

youtu.be/mRTHQqLMz-Y?... Not to be a normie but crumbs is really still their best song lmao. They had a guest sax player during the concert for the iconic sax part

i love this genre of post

this is correct

The worst thing about Bioware shutting down is the shitty treatment of the people working for it. But also it's becoming clear that they had assembled an absolutely elite team of modern science fiction writers to write the next Mass Effect game, and man it hurts that we'll never get to see it.
