I think we also have to talk about how the aesthetic of gambling has pervaded so many games lately.
I love games like Balatro, Vampire Survivors, Clover Pit, and Raccoon, but it does make me worried for my psyche when everything is loud and flashy and dopamine-y like I'm at a casino

I'm half crazy, all for the love of you... Digital Circus Episode 8 drops March 20th
Video games make companies billions in profit yet we are still getting laid off at alarming rates. If this is a reality you know all too well and want to fight against, come find us at GDC!!
remember when we marched to the yerba buena gardens last year to rally for video game worker power ??? look what they did now:
The cheery faces of Conker and Berri, a red squirrel and chipmunk respectively, smile at you over a green grid-like background disappearing into the distance. Title below reads 'Rock Solid Revitalised', and the image also features the logos for Spotify, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Apple Music, Deezer, Tidal and TikTok.
It was Conker's Bad Fur Day's 25th anniversary last week, and to mark the occasion @robinbeanland.com, the original composer of that bawdy ordeal, has whipped up a remix of its iconic club music! 'Rock Solid Revitalised' is available now on a bunch of music platforms. Marvellous.
In case you missed it, Robin Beanland and Rare have released a new 'Rock Solid' remix for Conker's Bad Fur Day's 25th anniversary! Plus, social media accusations that the digital single's artwork was created with generative AI turned out to be a load of poo.
A banner that reads "Game Workers Conference" in white text on a pink and blue background, alongside the ball and threads logo.
Do you work in games? Are you tired of corporate greed taking over our industry? Do you miss when industry events were by workers, for workers?
The United Videogame Workers of CWA, in partnership with other unions and worker-centered organizations, announce the #GameWorkersConference. May 22-23 ❤️🔥
Unions band together to launch new game industry conference 'by workers, for workers'
Insane thing to say about one of the best English localizations in the industry, legitimately sounds like he has no idea what he's talking about
A reminder to call your reps today! KOSA has been sandwiched into the KIDS Act and is still a huge censorship threat. You can use this tool- it takes just a few minutes:

We'll provide you with a suggestion of what to say and connect you directly with your lawmaker's office.
That being said, we're still in need of URGENT ACTION these Bad Internet Bills did indeed pass out of committee.

If you're wondering how bad things were at Pixar for women, the answer is pretty horrifyingly bad.
Am I surprised that a man who was able to thrive at a company where women weren't allowed in the same room as the boss, because he'd grope them, appears to have no ethical backbone? Not even a little.
NO NO NO YOU DON’T

no more fucking with the clocks
there's something so cozy about being the first one up and having the house to oneself, keeping the curtains drawn, the light peaking through the gaps supplementing a desk lamp, the only sounds being muffled birdsong and the coffee maker gurgling away in the kitchen as you settle in for the morning
