she wants to get paid to make out with Margot Robbie and I honestly respect the game
Karen Gillan says she’s interested in playing Poison Ivy in James Gunn's DCU.
She also wants to portray the relationship between Ivy and Harley in live-action.

It’s time to admit that Remote Work doesn’t work. WFH Friday is a 4 day work week. Full WFH is a 2 day work week. Every interaction has to be scheduled, which means a lot of information-sharing doesn’t happen. Remote is a great lifestyle, not a way to build a great company.

person from 1976: so you’re telling me the price of everything on this list has increased by almost 10x?
me: yup.

Game dev men: it’s not enough to be outraged and appalled when these things go public.
Being an ally and making the industry a safer place for marginalized devs requires actively looking for red flags of behavior/culture that would alienate or harm others and fighting them. 1/3

obligatory “this did numbers”: there’s a genocide in Gaza and people need help. Donate to extraction funds, esims, food/medical supplies for Palestinians, and call for an immediate ceasefire.
#FreePalestine
My sister’s friend’s extended family is in Gaza & they’re trying to get em evacuated to safety. They have 4 kids & 1 of them unfortunately got hit by shrapnel in an explosion. If you can spare any money to help with expenses, it would mean a lot. Please RT

not gonna qt the bad take but I hope eventually gamers realize that the only reason AAA sequels *can* be bigger/more polished/more innovative is bc you can reuse assets and not reinvent the wheel every project. Every hour “saved” is spent on something the first game didn’t have

This is not popular. It will not win you points with the people and companies you call out. We have to do it anyways.
All of the work needed to make the industry better cannot be solely the responsibility of the groups that are most harmed. 2/3

Let’s be clear, this ban is dangerous and directly violates a woman's constitutional right to choose. We must stop it.
As president, I will codify Roe into federal law and ensure this choice remains between a woman and her doctor.

Listen to trans critics. Listen to POC critics. Listen to queer critics. Listen to disabled critics. Listen to voices from demographics different than yours. Good critique, diverse critique, can elevate our understanding and appreciation of media even when we disagree with it.

1000% agree - The highest praise someone (not just coworkers) can give is that you made their life better and they’d do it again. That *means* something, so much more personal than a nomination or award. Leave it better than you found it.
As someone whose games have won IGFs, been nominated for Game Awards & more… I promise there’s no bigger honor than a teammate telling you they’d work with you again. It just doesn’t get better, more lasting than that feeling. Be good to the people you create with!

Skilled, craft-expert QA professionals have been irreplaceably valuable on every project I’ve worked on. This is a clown take from Ybarra
Mike Ybarra says that "QA and customer service aren't long term disciplines"
Absolute nonsense. This coming from the man forcing return to office, and the one who also endorses a stacked ranking system at Blizzard. How is this person a company president?

I could (maybe should) do a GDC talk on all the specific reasons this is a terribad idea
DCU characters will be played by the same actor in animation, live-action and video games moving forward.
Whoever plays the next Batman/Superman will be signed to play the character in TV, film, animation and video games.
