“what radicalized you” idk paying attention
Now that Disney owns Fox, which means they own the Alien franchise, I can't stop thinking about how the Alien Queen is now a Disney Princess/Queen.
Deskilling is real.
This is the world generative AI peddlers long for, one where people are incompetent without their service.
Don't outsource your brain to this shit. You'll regret it.

A key point in Fahrenheit 451 is that books were banned because they made people depressed and uncomfortable. The novel's protagonist, Montag, is taken into custody after he reads a poem that makes a woman cry because she realizes the emptiness of her life.

my response to every situation
This year's Summer Games Fest presentation was really concerned with how few people made a lot of those games, huh?
It feels kinda fucked up. Not just because they're often misrepresntating the real size of these teams, but because I think it's playing directly into a new(ish) flavour of dev hate.
Fucking THANK YOU.
Like, for real, I need a lot of you to dispense with the fantasies of objective, impartial tech. You are watching the intended purpose of this shit on display as we speak as Grok is hammered into compliance behind the scenes.
Let's take a look at the reasons why you might get laid off while working on a game, shall we? Your game doesn't do well, which, sure. Harsh, but understandable. Your game is called a success by Microsoft. Microsoft then lays you off. You help make a game as successful as Marvel Rivals. You are then laid off. Your studio gets acquired for over $60 billion dollars. You are then laid off. You endure executive pressure that forces you into making games your studio isn't good at making. It doesn't go well. You are then laid off. Someone decides your portfolio needs to be aligned/reorganised/restructured to become more flexible/agile/versatile under economic/industry conditions. Meanwhile, your CEO might've spent $2 million on vintage cars. You are then laid off.

Every producer is a shambling conglomerate of all the insane game dev problems they've had to solve and fires they've had to put out so the next time yours suggests doing/avoiding something you think sounds weird, unnecessary, or unlikely, just know that it's the voice of The Traumas speaking
"Those who have drank the AI Kool-Aid don't understand that all this brainstorming and iteration *is* making the game, it’s a crucial everyday part of game development (and human interaction) and is not a problem to be solved.”
a kitty says: “you're so portuguese” to another kitty, which responds with “MIAU” - this is a reference to a Markiplier video where he says a kitty is portuguese
i think about this often

Hey, I'm Bruna, a Game Producer, and this is #WhatAGameDevLooksLike ✨️
Always ready to meet more people and to support and guide teams in building wonderful games!
Not at GDC + currently looking for my next gig, to stay in the game dev scene, have a voice and make an impact 🙏 Our diversity matters
We got ourselves a wonderful group on our @womeningames.bsky.social Ambassador led brunch to celebrate IWD last Saturday. It was great to meet some of the faces of our community in person, share ideas and laughs.
Thank you @kairocha.bsky.social and Vanessa (Videojogo, disse Ela) for the team work!
The Transgender Mice Experiment would be a great band name.

Headline from a rich person who writes: "Don't replace the culture war with the class war"
Counterpoint: Do
Making games is really cool, but the real joy I get out of being a producer is working w/ people & helping people. I got my degree in psychology & it feels like that dream finally coming full circle. If I can be a good listener, empathetic & help my teams stay focused & calm, then I’m on cloud nine.
Wonderful hike this morning with these intelligent women, @kairocha.bsky.social and Vanessa Vieira Dias, to touch some grass, laugh and discuss game dev initiatives.
✨️Exciting things are brewing! ✨️
Trying to plan a roadmap for game release pulse points and marketing initiatives feels like:
🏃🏻♀️ running an obstacle course
💣Avoiding the explosives
🙈Partly blind
⛈️In heavy rain
...And being told the finish line may or may not move.
But just need to keep running.
