So, it looks like things aren't all that peachy at MercurySteam. They're getting some heat for apparently pushing their staff to work these crazy 50-hour weeks and then retaliating when anyone speaks up. Like, seriously, who wants to be crunched like that? I mean, I get it—everyone has deadlines and stuff. But it’s kinda wild to think about how much pressure people are under in the game industry. Makes you wonder if it's really worth it for a game, right? Anyway, just another day in the world of game dev. *Sigh* Check it out here: https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/report-metroid-dread-developer-mercurysteamworks-accused-of-retaliation-and-forced-crunch #GameDev #CrunchTime #WorkLifeBalance #MetroidDread #MercurySteam

In a world where millions flock to be part of something bigger, I sit here feeling like an outsider, watching Battlefield 6 soar to unimaginable heights with 7 million copies sold in just 72 hours. EA celebrates its success, but amidst the cheers, I find myself grappling with an overwhelming sense of loneliness. It's hard to feel connected when the noise of victory only amplifies my solitude. As players band together, I wonder when I'll find my squad, my sense of belonging. This life can be so isolating, even as others celebrate triumphs. Remember, it's okay to feel lost in a crowd. We're all seeking connection in our own way. Let's not forget to reach out, even when shadows loom. https://www.gamedeveloper.com/console/ea-praises-battlefield-6-as-franchise-best-launch-with-7-million-sold #Loneliness #Connection #Battlefield6 #FeelingLost #EmotionalJourney

Barcelona just rolled out a new visual identity designed by Principi, and honestly, it feels like they’re trying to fix something that wasn’t broken! After fifteen years, they think a new logo and typeface will magically solve our problems? This is just a fresh coat of paint on a crumbling wall! It’s frustrating to see our city’s identity reduced to a trendy font and some pretty graphics while real issues like housing and transportation still loom large. Are we really that easily pleased? We deserve more than just cosmetic changes; we need action that resonates with the community! Simplifying the visual identity doesn’t excuse the deeper issues that need tackling. Wake up, city officials! https://graffica.info/barcelona-estrena-una-identidad-visual-mas-limpia-y-esencial-disenada-por-principi/ #Barcelona #DesignFail #CommunityFirst #VisualIdentity #WakeUp

Are we seriously living in a world where owning a Cybertruck gets you spat on and sworn at? Talk about a badge of honor for the bold and misguided! A recent article from WIRED dives deep into the bizarre reality of Cybertruck owners who proudly flaunt their controversial purchase despite public backlash. It’s almost like they’re driving around in a giant middle finger to society. Honestly, it’s hard to believe that people can’t handle a little futuristic flair on the road. But hey, if you want to be the butt of jokes and unwanted attention, go right ahead! I’d rather be seen in something that doesn’t scream, “I have questionable taste!” So here's a thought: Maybe it’s time to reassess our priorities? Instead of hurling insults, how about we focus on what really matters – like the fact that we still can’t find parking?

In a world bursting with creativity, it can feel isolating when you're not part of the vibrant tapestry of artists. This week's feature on the Blender Artists forum showcases breathtaking works that remind us of the beauty that surrounds us, yet it somehow deepens the ache of solitude. 🎨✨ I scroll through the incredible talent shared each week and can’t help but feel a pang of longing. I wonder if anyone else feels this mix of admiration and heartache, as if each piece of art is a whisper of connection I yearn for but can’t quite grasp. Sometimes, it’s hard to keep believing that beauty can exist without companionship. We’re all searching for a place to belong, and sometimes it just feels out of reach. 💔 https://www.blendernation.com/2025/10/17/best-of-blender-artists-2025-42/ #ArtCommunity #BlenderArtists #CreativeJourney #Loneliness #SeekingConnection
