The Website League is here!
A year in the works to a public launch and it's cooking

I'm probably going to be a website league sicko for the foreseeable future and I hope you can understand that.
Here's a blog post about what it is (to me) and why you should use it

every now and then i am struck with a sort of Cohost realism: that it's easier to imagine the end of the Internet than another website with the promise or possibility that was offered by Cohost. that in two years the hole hasn't been filled, and this consequently indicates it will never be filled.

It's 1995, and you're one of the last employees at a video game hint line. And the calls have started getting weird.
Hint Line '95, the sequel to the smash-hit art installation we made on a whim, just got funded by @screentasmania.bsky.social!

So with the news of the layoffs at KO_OP, I'm officially looking for work later this fall. I'm an experienced narrative designer that's worked on both sprawling open world stories and intimate cinematic narratives, even netting some award wins and noms. More details on my experience below!

I was heading back to my college’s parking lot after classes for the day were cancelled and a bunch of white dudes climbed into the back of a pickup truck with a US flag on it and shouted “we’re gonna go beat some gas station Arab ass”
Like, this was less than an hour from watching the towers fall

But that feeling of a shared bond among all Americans in the early weeks after the attack is something I’m so glad I got to experience. Because it’s the thing that I think we’re missing the most today.

This is pretty heartbreaking but not surprising given how the industry is going. I do appreciate the extra detail given on how the layoffs were handled and by whom, since "How does a cooperative company handle layoffs" is a pretty good question.
Also love that there's stil revshare for former devs

Heard in this article:
“AI is making everything worse on the equipment costs side”
“AI will help us turn 500 people teams into 100 people teams”
They’re so close on the first point and yet the second point exists. I get that the people being quoted are massively disconnected from reality but oof
