"These words and pictures are out in public for my eyes to see," cried another, gesticulating wildly. "Are my eyes STEALING?!"

Rami Ismail (رامي)
ramiismail.comIf you're scared of a trip to Egypt but not of a trip to the United States, it's time to accept you're a racist. They're both totalitarian regimes with militarized police disappearing citizens, oppression of speech, terrorist groups, and omnipresent corruption. The US just has guns everywhere, too.
Jeff Gerstmann
jeffgerstmann.comI remember doing a podcast like five years ago where we said "yeah, fuck this, we're going to go home and stay there" and then we got word from on high that we should cut that part out because the rest of the company hadn't shut down and they were worried about how it'd look or something?
Retro Blast💫
retroblast.bsky.socialSomething I just don't get is this weird trend of rooting for a game to fail. If you aren't interested in something, maybe... don't play it? I don't understand this crusade mentality, like "we have to fight back!" Nah. You really don't. Just move on and find something you actually do like.
Any Austin
anyaustin.bsky.socialI have found a new video game to play called PERIPETEIA. It's only available for the personal computer, and you must have a strong constitution in order to play it, but, it has lots of very long hallways that don't go anywhere, and many boring elevator rides that last 30+ seconds. Try it.
Jazz The JRPG Queen 👑❤️🎮
jazzlikestogame.bsky.socialPlease don’t go into other ppl’s skeets on here telling them you hate something they love or not to do something they’ve made the post about. That’s not it people. You have your own skeets you can make for that all day long & it’s all gravy, but don’t be a douchebag to anyone over anything posted. 🙏🏻

nathangrayson.bsky.socialnext week, game developers from all over the world will convene in san francisco for gdc, an industry centerpiece. but recent events like the abduction of a pro-palestine student, anti-trans orders, and trump's aggression toward canada have some canceling their plans aftermath.site/gdc-2025-tra...
!["I can barely get into the US under the Democrats," Ismail said. "The Republicans are straight up disappearing people, mate. I'm Egyptian. I know what disappearing is: Little van shows up, gone you are. In the Republican US, they could grab me and make me go away, and nobody would be able to do shit even if they tried. I think if anyone with Western privilege would be worried about going to Egypt, they should now be equally worried about going to the US. These things are random, unfair, and without recourse."
Others, like Subnautica Below Zero, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and Assassin's Creed: Freedom Cry writer Jill Murray, who is based in Montreal, are maintaining a healthy distance from the increasingly bad ol’ US of A out of senses of both solidarity and self-preservation.
"[The breaking point] was seeing how afraid trans and BIPOC friends were of crossing the border. I take it seriously and don’t really want to go where they can’t go," Murray told Aftermath. "My biggest personal factor is that I’ve been self employed for a very long time, and that can make me face more questioning. With a trade war on, it doesn’t feel like the risk is warranted – even if I’m facing mounting pressures to network, given the overall situation of the industry."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5gdejlhcswjbzraadoltdpps/bafkreiafplrbgnckbbulqb2xdyyn5n4rjcaxfvesf63dk3lccqszb6sa7y@jpeg)

Sena Bryer
senabryer.comIf a game flips union, NU members who've never worked a union game before suddenly become SAG-Eligible (not a must join, that would happen much later, and only if you 1: keep accepting union work over and over without joining and 2: do not live in a right-to-work state) They don't get fired.
Retro Blast💫
retroblast.bsky.socialThe Opera scene from Parasite Eve is one of the most unsettling moments from the 32-bit era. A masterful use of visual storytelling starting with the subtle look between Melissa and Aya before the chaos ensues. From then on, we knew all bets were off. It's one of the best video game openings ever.
