Thanks, I hate it.

@Orbishdev Curling is incredible! You kidding me

Why is curling dominating Olympic coverage. It's so boring. 😂

noooo comment

👀

I'll never relish in the fact that some studios close - the industry is hard enough as it is. But this feels like you could have seen it a mile away. All the crypto / blockchain / NFT folks have now moved on to AI. decrypt.co/350319/gg-stor…

Just brutal for the folks at Intrepid Studios. Half that studio is basically SOE folks that I worked with for many years. The industry is not looking good right now. I dont even think we have hit the bottom yet, either.

@MarkMan23 those PSM stickers are goated

My name is Mark. My love language is memory cards and memory card stickers.

@apostle_ofc @purpleslfc I had season tickets! I own a fuckin Starter jacket! tailgating in the old Q parking lot was undefeated

@purpleslfc I went to one game... it was so awesome to cheer for San Diego football at Jack Murphy again... and then *poof* it was gone.

san diego fleet mentioned, thank you josh johnson!

@shannonplante @acnewsitics there won't be a "next admin" with how this is going

@acnewsitics If you have to hope for the next admin to reverse a violation of your “inalienable” rights, you didn’t have rights to begin with. America has sadly never been a country of checks and balances because no one is checking or balancing anything they should be.

Fuck these idiots. The next admin will reverse this.

Remember NFTs? lol

Wow. RIP.

kill me now

@BikeMan Given the insane secondhand market for DS... I'm interested. Let us know what you think.

My mom got me an early Christmas present. Putting every DS and 3DS game that existed onto it.

LOL

hahah seriously, this is hilarious

Been getting back in to MTG Arena lately. It's chaos.

Last week, we announced that @AshesofCreation will be entering Steam Early Access on December 11th. It’s a milestone years in the making, and an opportunity to bring a wider audience into the world we’ve been building and to carry that momentum with us as we push toward Beta next year. It comes at a time when the climate for western game studios has been anything but gentle. I’ve watched projects I was personally excited for, some built on beloved IPs with veteran leaders and large publishers, close their doors in the MMORPG space. And yet, despite the challenges, the demand for meaningful, ambitious online worlds remains as strong as ever. The landscape is shifting. The rise of AI-assisted development, globalized talent markets, and a funding environment increasingly geared toward leaner teams and tighter scopes has left many in our genre asking whether the golden age of MMOs is behind us. I don’t believe that for a moment. Not only do I think the best days for MMOs aren’t over, I believe the next era of the genre is just beginning, shaped by teams willing to take risks, innovate boldly, and resist the pressure to dilute vision in the name of convenience or market data. We’ve chosen a player-first approach since day one. Open development, real feedback, and a willingness to iterate in the open. It’s slower, harder, and far more vulnerable, but we believe it can create better games. I’m endlessly grateful, to our team, our community, and every person who’s believed in this vision. None of this happens without you. See you on the 11th 💪❤️

Have a good TwitchCon, folks. My city of San Diego is fuckin cool as hell - enjoy.

Random thought: can I get a Einhander remake @SquareEnix?

One month since our project at ZOS got shelved. Still looking for Production opportunities. Reach out!
