I ran a workshop earlier this year teaching tabletop designers how to use the *free* Affinity software to make their materials and I'd be more than happy to do it again! I'm far cheaper than Adobe, I use far less water, and I care about creatives 🙏

I'm so very grateful for PeopleMakeGames giving me a platform to speak about the impact the dismissal from Rockstar has had on my family because it has been profound. We miss our dogs more than anything in the world and would do anything to have them both back. Unfortunately that cannot happen.
IWGBListen to fired Rockstar worker Will Masilane detail how losing his job meant losing the life he had built in Edinburgh, with his girlfriend and his beloved dogs Abby and Lonnie The four of them had made the move to the Scottish capital from Australia two and half years prior.
The material effectiveness of the BDS Xbox boycott shouldn't be a condition to be met to warrant reporting from outlets. We build trends from singular petulant reddit posts and report "insider" rumours without shame, the least anyone could do is *mention* an ongoing genocide.
Mitch DyerInteresting that almost all analysis of Xbox in freefall completely ignores an organized boycott intended to harm the company financially. Meanwhile, multiple news stories on the home page all month about PlayStation boycotts that haven't even happened yet.

Games media publications big and small have been working overtime to show the full scale of fuckery happening at Microsoft. I get that shit sucks. And the media can always do better. But this “nobody is as smart and bold as me and my Bluesky pals” posturing is so tired and unhelpful
Karl BodeIt's wild how 70% of the stories on the Microsoft game studio layoffs and carnage don't think it's worth noting that the company went on a studio acquisition spree three years ago that involved lying constantly about the vast benefits of mindless consolidation just not useful context, apparently
I’m excited that @crapstacular.bsky.social has spotlighted the bundle for Rae’s recovery on @rascal.news! Please go get these amazing games—including Defy the Gods & Raccoon Sky Pirates—and help an award-winning designer get the care he needs: www.rascal.news/evil-hat-org...

Design RoomInscryption is almost 5, so let's talk about its music.
My Bonnie Tyler-related story: years ago, in the "literal music video" era, my friend posted the one for Total Eclipse of the Heart on Facebook, and his mom made one of the funniest comments I've ever read: "This is only funny to people who have never experienced a real total eclipse of the heart."
when layoffs suddenly make recent developer interviews ten times more salient
This Week in VideogamesWeeks prior to major layoffs at id Software, co-studio directors Marty Stratton and Hugo Martin told This Week in Videogames that "muscle memory" and a well-trained team were key to the developer's consistency and success. id Software has released three Doom games, with expansions, in 10 years.
