One more for the afternoon crowd. Two of the last lines of dialogue I wrote on the last BioWare game I shipped.

‘Wildwood’ director Travis Knight on AI: “A pencil is a tool. A paintbrush is a tool. A 3D printer is a tool. A digital capture is a tool. AI is not a tool. AI can go fuck itself.”

Thanks for everything, BioWare. I wouldn’t be who I am today without your games 💔

Pleased to report that the new game Final Fantasy Resonance is *tremendous*, a must-play for anyone who loves the SNES Final Fantasy games and hopefully the beginning of a new Square strategy to produce both 3D and 2D games moving forward.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

I’ve been crying all morning. THANK YOU😭💕

Wow Capcom. Onimusha way of the sword hard clinches my game of the year. Probably my favorite action game of all time. Cool as hell

The fact that business folks/MBAs cannot look more than a fiscal quarter into the future is one of the reasons we can't have nice things. We need to stop listening to these people. You want churn? This is how you get churn.

Microsoft and Sony are making it so easy for people to look at modern gaming and just say "F^ck this." @kelslewin.bsky.social, @ohheyitsjeffm.bsky.social, @haleyfax.bsky.social, and @jacobgeller.com unpack the state of modern gaming on the new episode of The MinnMax Show. youtu.be/Lj0XyTzStgg

Id Software had basically its whole tech art and engine dev department killed. They were previously standing on their own engine Id Tech, now that institutional knowledge is busted and crew is told to move to fully AI-pilled Unreal. Devastating blow to games as technology and art form.

Imagine doing this to id and saying with a straight face "grow and extend an enduring portfolio of franchises players love"

I can't help but feel that if these studios hadn't been acquired by Microsoft that they wouldn't be going through cuts this deep. They made great games with dedicated audiences, weathered decades, and could have adapted. But none of that had much to do with Microsoft selling Xbox or Game Pass.
