And the Matt is gray

AAA was a mistake

Can someone ELI5 Anthropic’s S-1? Either they have massive margins or they’ll be overtaken by debt in the near future or maybe both? It sounds like maybe they have the ability to take some money but not absorb all of human economic growth? It’s annoyingly vague for a non-finance person.

Putting words to action. Here are some other current studios housing former BioWare folks (that I have readily available links for): @summerfallstudios.com @studioresetgames.bsky.social @yellowbrickgames.bsky.social @exodusgameofficial.bsky.social @trickweekes.bsky.social

🫩 don’t make me tap the sign.

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

I really fucking need people to go to their local college and audit a documentary filmmaking class before saying shit like "I don't think this movie accurately portrays the facts therefore it's not a documentary" that's not what the word "documentary" *means*

Can we all just agree to refer to Truth Social as “the President’s blog” please. That’s what it is. No one else is there.

I'm sorry but that Save Mass Effect thing really bums me out I absolutely understand and know what it is to be profoundly impacted by such incredible works. But if BioWare projects meant a lot to you, I implore you to care more about the people who built those worlds than the fate of the IP

let me get this right, Tesla wants to put a reverse Oceangate sub disaster next to a select group of the richest idiots and Elon Musk stans alive... and you're booing?

if you ever happen to see someone post a joke you don't understand or discuss a subject you aren't familiar with, you are well within your right to complain, and perhaps even scold them if necessary. you are their customer and you have rights

A bit of a turning point. Creators of all types of media are no longer allowed to criticize America's wealthiest people.

If you recognize this don't forget to take your pills today

Food, man. Restaurants are unbelievably good now.

Mass Effect 1 was a huge factor in me going into UX in games. Specifically, Tom Bissell skewering ME1’s UI. I loved this game and always had this nagging feeling of jank, and he showed why. And I wanted to make it better for all players after that.

::to my grandkids:: They had PC Cafes at school. AT SCHOOL.

Milf Liara ::sting singing:: what could have been

I felt a bit vindicated by a former BioWare dev who said BioWare's mistake was not just pushing out new stories with basically same systems. YES. Stop reinventing the wheel and just give us good stories. Somehow BioWare didn't want to be the story games company, which is what it was.

@apnewsguild.bsky.social wtf my dudes

1. BioWare’s fate is a tragedy 2. BioWare made some terrible mistakes

the navy isn't as much of a surprise but i was not expecting we'd get the United States Marines in the national divorce

Yesterday: Warren Spector justifiably furious about how f'd up the razing of Bioware is Tonight: Warren's in Brooklyn talking with us about his career, and probably also all this f'd up #!(*% extractive consolidation going on? Bring your questions ALSO at twitch.tv/nyugamecenter see you there

He has actual eyes. Why does everyone assume his dick is a basket?

The replies seem to believe that the number one priority in fighting a fire at the library of Alexandria should have been minimizing water usage

Will the circle Be unbroken By and by Lord By and by

You have to wonder what kind of friends or spouses, if any, the designers of these products have

::scream-singing:: I BELIEVE IN A THING CALLED NOVEMBER

BioWare, which was once hundreds of employees across three offices, had around 50 staff remaining when EA closed the studio this morning. EA gutted BioWare after the release of Dragon Age: The Veilguard last year, as we reported then: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

My home server’s name is Shepard. The big hard drive with the actual data on it is named Normandy. The drive with the family Time Machine backups on it is called Citadel. And the entire thing is backed up to another big hard drive called Crucible. So yes, I’m upset.

what exactly DOES happen to materials from a major studio that’s closed? where do physical hard drives, documents, etc go? who maintains all this pointless secrecy? if you know or have stories, get in touch: nathan@aftermath.site, nathangrayson.666 (signal), aftermathdotsite@proton.me (proton mail)

omg the LLM internalized 6-7

4️⃣ to pay respects

Do people still have “computer rooms”?

This is a major, major talking point on the right. Elon Musk rails against "suicidal empathy" and the term has caught on among millions. They believe that society is collapsing because we are tolerating too much and not punishing enough.

It also seems kind of bad that the Justices's book deals are interfering with their ability to hear cases. This isn't just one Justice being recused out; this is the entire Court lacking the quorum to hear the case at all.

broke a man the first time i told him this. He came up to me and said "I just don't like tattoos" and I said "well, I'm not trying to have sex with You" and I saw something permanently rotate inside him

Support Marisa! She’s damn good at what she does.
