I’m quoting this thing with this account so I can pin it but just… just go to the @RelativRyan account and give my art some love IF you fw it. If you don’t like it, don’t heart it, just scroll.
AYO!❤️💚💙
SO, as of March 6th, 2026 I got OBLITERATED by a mass layoff (I'm talking 100s of ppl, across multiple subK companies), and I've been surviving off my savings since, so...
It'd mean THE WORLD to me if y'all could blast this post everywhere!

Game dev since 2010 here. Instead of 'interviews' I have actually WORKED at Respawn, EA, Naughty Dog, Rocksteady, Creative Assembly, and SEGA.
If you have HINTS of Ai usage in your portfolio, narrative work, resume or cover letter. Your application is getting hurled into Hades.
“Use AI or get left behind.”
I don’t think you understand how desperately I yearn to be left behind. Go on without me. Leave me alone with my critical thinking skills.
@jadel4w@espenolsenart This is the most insane tweet for me specifically to read after your latest advice for me.
I understand if the label don’t matter so long as the function is similar or a next evolution of it, but like… damn.
@RelativRyan@infinitisirrena@jadel4w “People just need to accept that it’s coming.. i mean. It’s here... But It’s coming… but it’s basically here.
Fucking just… swallow what I’m force-feeding you and shut up!”

The only thing he got right was that games are not a charity.
Everything else is obtuse.
Yes games got more expensive but that’s because projects are overwhelmingly mismanaged and the industry is rife with an executive layer that doesn’t play games.
This is compounded by how games are funded and the fact that so many studios are being consolidated.
The worst thing to happen to games was private equity noticing we are the largest media industry and expecting us to make ROI like the tech industries. Invest, inflate, go public.
The games industry uses tech, but we are a creative industry, and that seems to be forgotten by too many in charge.
I’ve argued with people before that we are more like film, we use a lot of the same tech as film, but we are a part of the arts and media.
Remember when they sold us the slogan, “Go paperless, save trees, save the planet”?
Now we've gone digital, and it's consuming enormous amounts of water, destroying ecosystems, harming bees, and contributing to environmental damage on a scale paper never did.
@jadel4w@DbsHype I knew you’d say the latter part, but not the former. I just think “what’s the function?” and if he’s still fighting or “younger than Toriyama’s”, i can see why he’s still tall.
At first the veins caught me off guard but there’s some buff ass old ppl irl. The rendering tho…☹️
the alienation I feel when I realise the text I'm reading is AI generated is instant, horrible. Why debase my mind's input and time reading output another human mind couldnt bother to take the time to compose? Intrinsically harmful to treat ones existence as a trash receptacle.
