I want to introduce you all to something myself and @jacksonwryan.com have been working on.

A PRINT MAGAZINE about video games and video game culture.

We know things have been bad for games writing recently. We're asking, "do you want to Continue?"

I am fascinated, but also severely irritated watching International Women’s Day move from being a day of change and protest to another greeting card holiday. Thanks, I hate it.

The blatant bigotry of this has already been covered, but "we're not making therapy" is pretty rich from the guy who made for example UP and INSIDE OUT.

I don’t think so. I haven’t seen his name mentioned in conjunction with it

(My favourite cover of Genie in a Bottle, of course, is still Karma's cover, which was based on the Something For Kate version)

Not to mention the Whedon of it all

Something For Kate remains an absolutely excellent band, and it's because every single member of the band totally commits to every element of the song, including their pop covers. Their cover of Genie In A Bottle remains one of the greatest covers of all time. It's so hauntingly beautiful.

Nice that something learned something from the β€œeverything is an Xbox” debacle

We all sure had a lot of differing opinions on South of Nowhere. I maintain that my opinions are objectively correct on this extremely important, but also very flawed TV show. @jesszam.bsky.social and Rad had other thoughts.

Spending 2021 having to watch 10+ hours of newscasts a day trying to mine it for comedy sure did change something in me. That’s the year I got into bikes.

Her husband wanted to use ChatGPT to create sustainable housing. Then it took over his life. Kate Fox says Joe Ceccanti was the β€˜most hopeful person’ before he started spending 12 hours a day with a chatbot

β€œIt’s difficult to understand the scale of the problem, but OpenAI itself estimates that more than a million people every week show suicidal intent when chatting with ChatGPT.”

These Pikachu look like they’re about to tell their exhausted adult kids about how they’re going to open up their marriage to keep the spark alive

LinkedIn screenshot from Halfbrick three hours ago.

Today we’re sharing that Halfbrick is making changes to our team structure, including role redundancies in Australia and the conclusion of a number of engagements internationally.
This was not a decision we made lightly. Like many studios, we are navigating a challenging period for the games industry, and we’ve had to make some hard choices about how we move forward. These changes are driven by organizational and strategic priorities, not individual performance.
The most important thing to say is this: the people affected by this decision have made meaningful contributions to Halfbrick. They have helped shape our games, supported our players, and been an important part of this studio. We are sincerely grateful for everything they have brought to the company.
To everyone impacted, thank you. Your work has mattered here, and we are better for having had the chance to work with you.
We also want to say clearly that we would strongly recommend any of these individuals to any team that is hiring. Halfbrick has always cared deeply about the people we bring in, and there is exceptional talent among those now looking for their next opportunity.
Our focus right now is on handling this transition with care, respect, and genuine appreciation for the people who have contributed so much to Halfbrick.
We wish them nothing but the best in what comes next.

Halfbrick announcing role redundancies in Australia during breakfast on a Saturday morning feels like a choice to me. My best to those impacted. If that's you and you want to chat, you can reach me securely here on dctrjr [at] proton [dot] me
