We spend so much cash on games - a hyper-luxury. What if we set aside just a little of that highly-disposable income to helping those most urgently in need? Here's an incredible guide of how to pick the right charity for you: It's the least we can do.

People, I beg you to understand that single player games don't need to be supported endlessly with new content. They're authored, finite experiences. You cannot 'leave Cyberpunk 2077 behind', because it is *finished*.

CDPR moving to Unreal 5 is probably a good move long term, but I wish it wouldn't come at the cost of leaving Cyberpunk 2077 behind Dropping it now at the height of its popularity instead of making another expansion seems wrong I'm gonna miss Night City

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying photo-realistic graphics are bad, or somehow less emotional. They allow for _different_ ranges of emotion and more directorial control - but it's not like they're the natural apex of all gaming genres.

So much game writing/dialogue feels stilted and unnatural. I don't believe you have to be hyper-intellectual to write great dialogue, but you DO have to commit to reading it aloud, and thinking carefully about how conversations actually work. It's not magic, it's just effort.

Writers: this is the time to interrogate the stories you tell and the characters that tell them. Take a long, hard look at your output and think whether you could write more inclusively, more radically, and more truthfully, even in imagined worlds. Yes, all art is political.

About the cyberpunk delay. You know what? Delay it 3 more months and give the team a few months off in between debilitating crunch periods. I feel so bad for those poor souls, must feel like an interminable, Sisyphean hell by this point.

Do not sleep on this! (Although it is incredibly relaxing in places so you can sleep WITH it)

@andihero Just to clarify - are you saying that because I've worked on a franchise you dislike that I'm not allowed to have what I clearly framed as a non-dogmatic opinion on a different franchise?

The fantastic, accessible and moreish deck builder that is Meteorfall by @slothwerks and @EvgenyViitman is featured on the UK App Store today. Don’t miss it, I enjoyed it so much I made them let me help write the sequel.

@adribuller @jimrossignol @adamvaughan_uk @newscientist I don’t mean this negatively as I’m desperately hopeful for reduced emissions but is there any sign of anyone in government actually giving a shit?

@jwaaaap Referenced this thread in my interview for thank you for creating it, great initiative!

How can we be gamers in an industry that is hurting its developers?

We need to support the people making games while also being critical of the practices they work under

Re-reading LOTR has made me realise how few good games we have about journeys. Like, the actual route planning and one foot in front of the other journeys.

This week marks 1 year of being with the @backbonegame team - it's been a wild ride and I'm so privileged to work with such talented and caring oddballs. They've taught and helped me grow so much already. Here's to many more!

I'm not gonna post a picture of me at 20. Instead I'll tell you what I've learned since then, 12 years ago: 1. A career is nothing without happiness 2. You can't do good work on something if you don't believe in it. 3. It's never worth putting up with bad people.

Just when you think @kittaveli can't get any better, she sidesteps, makes a new band with @fugazi420 and goes supernova with a new hip-hop electropop fusion EP

Did you see I wrote a quick guide for game devs (or whomever) that aren't/don't have writers but need writing?

With the release of Rose Gold, @kittaveli has moved from hip-hop and synths into what can only be described as pan-genre genius. It's her most raw and yet somehow also her most polished record yet. Unmissable.

@BryanRenno I don't think anyone legitimately cares about a few day one patches. What people get irked about - rightfully so - is a game launching with half its promised features missing and not being any good until 6 months later.
