AI should be doing all the useless corporate jobs nobody wants to do, not the creative work humans have been crafting since the dawn of intelligent thought. Come on now.
My (white, male) friend asked me how he can represent a hijabi woman accurately in his drawings so I drew him this really quick guide. It made me really happy that he cared enough to ask :)
shout out to bi femmes who are straight presenting and have only been in long term committed relationships with men and don't feel like they are gay enough to be part of the LGBTQ community - happy pride to you too
Businesses can sack Muslim women wearing the hijab headscarf if they work face-to-face with customers or if the wearing of the religious clothing causes workplace conflicts, the EU’s highest court has ruled
Ikumi Nakamura, everybody's new crush, is Shinji Mikami's disciple. She's worked as artist for Okami, Bayonetta and as lead artist on TEW. Now she's directing Ghostwire.
We've just watched a torch get passed down live on

with Shinji introducing her and it warms my heart.
"I work in video games"
"Oh right, did you make [whatever]? I'm so addicted to it!"
"....yes, yes I made ALL the games ever"
HAPPY HOLIDAYS, DEVS! Hope you're ready to 'take a quick look' at everyones computer problems this season. x

HI HI HI THE GAME I WORKED ON WAS ON PLAYSTATION STATE OF PLAY AAAAHHHHHHHHH
ITS CALLED ROLLERDROME AND ITS A ROLLERSKATING SHOOTER GAME AND ITS HELLA FUN
LOOK AT ME FREAKING OUT
Nobody asked me this but my new bias is Lisa from Blackpink
I’m not even that into most kpop things but she’s an undeniable force, like a hurricane, and I aspire to have that energy
Last year I quit my job for the flexibility to work remotely so I can be with my mother who was battling cancer
6 months ago I took a career hiatus to be a full time carer
3 days ago she passed peacefully in her sleep surrounded by family
Today I’m celebrating my birthday 💖
The huge success of Fall Guys and Overcooked has once again proves how games don’t need to be violent to sell, when we’ve learned that the violence was in us all along
I want to point out how huge the kids achievement is - up until 2005 or so people didn’t even think you could physically get past level 29, and since players developed new playing techniques to push the human boundaries
34 YEARS later, this kid finally pushed it til it broke
It is the Year of Our Lord 2024 and
@SkyNews
is still telling people who play video games to go outside and get some fresh air, notably on the same day they’re praising a 16-year-old darts player
I don’t know how to say this but it’s like Atlus gave a 15 year old free reign to design whatever UI they want and a bunch of UI programmer wizards just went “aight, bet”
Atlus continues to pay their UI designers well and their UI designers continue to deliver outstanding work. It's like there's a correlation here. :)
Shots from the recent Metaphor: ReFantazio showcase.
I urge gamedevs to hang out with non-nerds more often
Go to a house party and talk to an emergency and ICU doctor casually talk about their day where they had to cut open someone’s chest to physically massage their heart to try and revive them from literal death
Can't believe we're having this discussion again: crunch is bad
'BUt WE get aMAzing gamES lIke TLOU And RDR, iT'S WorTH tHE saCrIfICE'
no it fucking isn't. developers are people who can burn out. it's literally tearing families apart and sending people to hospitals. FOR GAMES?!

I… I think I’ll just live vicariously through all the characters who actually found closure in their “healing generational trauma wounds” story
*Mum sees me playing Mario Party with sister on the switch*
Mum: oh is this the game you made?
Me: no ma, I didn’t make mario
*Dad sees me playing Pokemon toys with my nephew*
Dad: oh is this the game you made?
Me: no pa, I didn’t make Pokemon
Hi, are you a
#gamedev
working in a studio founded by a woman, or working in a female majority studio? Or are YOU the founder? Link me your website or game! I'd like to see and tweet about them!
(Open to anywhere in the world, and any sized studio, RTs appreciated!)
Producer, during sprint planning: "How long do you think this will take? "
My brain:
Don't do it
Don't do it
Don't do it
Don't do it
Don't do it
Don't do it
Don't do it
Don't do it
Don't do it
Don't do it
Don't do it
Me, the idiot who never learns:
"Shouldn't take too long"
Boy math is making billions in the games industry but seemingly unable to offer job security with routine layoffs to protect profit margins with zero accountability for any disastrous C-suite decision making
"I like cake. I dislike carrots. This carrot cake is cringe."
I am begging games news site to diversify their writers, why would you let someone who dislikes an entire genre/art form to cover games specifically made for fans of it???

Hi, Anisa here. She/her. Malaysian based in London, UK. 9 years as a UI/UX designer in games and I got real tired of how things are for minorities in the industry that I started
@LBMentorship
I’m not gonna fucking stop there so I hope you’re excited ✌️
I really wanna start my own games company just so I can start all my marketing tweets with “sup fuckers” and no one can tell me no cuz I’m the ceo and only shareholder
Ok snark aside, as someone who literally just went through an entire gamedev cycle that's releasing in less than 2 months' time - generic or not, it's a fucking miracle any video game gets finished at all
Gamedev is highly intricate with way too many variables, so good job devs
Re: sonic movie is meant for kids, you’re not the target audience, it’s ok that it’s shit cuz it’s not for you, etc
No fuck that. Kids deserve quality animations just like adults do. Just admit you are trash and like trash things. Trash can exist so you can tell what’s quality.
This will decimate the UK games industry. There isn’t enough to pull from in the local talent pool, furthermore this is gonna drive out a lot of people as well
In 2013 I was scrambling to get a job that paid £21k for a work visa, there is no way anyone can bag £38k immediately
Gentle reminder that brown and dark skinned Asians are also Asians and it’s not just East Asians and in fact there’s a bunch of people in south east Asia where they’re like in between dark and light skin tones cuz Asia be fucking massive y’all
A drag queen on TikTok just taught me the difference between organising data in an array and a linked list for programming using a makeup palette and makeup wipes and it just CLICKED
TikTok is so good

Influencing the industry one meeting at a time lol
Moments ago there was a huge crowd here, very excited at the fact that it’s coming home, but all I see is complete disregard of their own city.
Fuck all of you, you’re trash.
Man accused woman of stalking him at an event. Netizens discovers that HE has been lying about his entire tech career - including stolen photos of talks, interviews and everything else.
What a thread!
Wow. I've been harassed online before, but
@teemedlin

article I published years ago/from a conference 3 years ago. Get a life.
being a gamedev is great cuz i was sick yesterday so i decided to dust off my switch and play a new game and the first thing i did was take screenshots of the options screen cuz i thought the devs did some great design 💀💀
