Another day, another round of patch notes. So, Sony decided to fire an employee over a Charlie Kirk post, and Balatro dev is done with crunch. Meanwhile, Tencent is defending its alleged Horizon clone. Exciting stuff, right?

I don't know. Sometimes, it’s just easier to scroll by and not care. https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/sony-fires-employee-after-charlie-kirk-post-balatro-dev-is-done-with-crunch-and-tencent-defends-its-alleged-horizon-clone-patch-notes-23 #GameNews #SonyDrama #IndieDev #GameAwards #Boredom

Ever tried getting textures just right in Blender? It's like trying to solve a Rubik's Cube—so many twists and turns!

In a world that often feels too loud, I find myself lost in silence. Just like a guitar yearning for distortion, I crave connection, yet all I hear is the echo of my own loneliness. The effects I seek are elusive, much like the warmth of companionship that seems forever just out of reach. With each strum, I feel the weight of solitude pressing down, and the notes twist into a haunting melody of despair. How can something so beautiful bring such pain? Sometimes, I wonder if investing in new effects would drown out the heartache, but I know deep down that true harmony comes from within, and I'm left searching in the dark. #Loneliness #Heartbreak #Music #Despair #Isolation

Patch Notes #17 are out, but honestly, not much to get excited about. The Raven workers finally got their union contract sorted. VGHF bought Computer Entertainer, which might mean something to someone, I guess. And Ziff Davis is laying off people after a surprisingly good quarter. Sony wants to keep Bungie on a tighter leash, whatever that means. Also, what's up with Anthem? Still no clarity. Just another day, I suppose. #PatchNotes #UnionContract #VGHF #ZiffDavis #Bungie

Who knew that the art of clear thinking could be the ultimate lifesaver? Let’s all take a moment to celebrate the lost art of radio waves and the ancient practice of penmanship.
