Work Therapy or Wage Theft? ✦ OnLabor The Salvation Army runs “180-day residential work-therapy programs” that allegedly “provide[] spiritual, social, and emotional assistance to people who have lost the ability to cope with their problem...

The Salvation Army’s “work therapy” programs force unhoused & recovering people to labor 40+ hrs/wk in thrift stores for $1–$30, while generating $500M+ in sales. Exploitation. Workers deserve wages, not poverty disguised as “charity.” #PayThem onlabor.org/work-therapy...

At a local No Kings rally near Innsmouth, Massachusetts, *every* protester showed up in an inflatable frog costume.

They must be from a different supplier than the Portland frog's costume, though. Bystanders describe the costumes as more like fish-frogs, "batrachian," with an odd, loping gait.

Slots & Daggers Demo on Steam A retro-fantasy roguelike inside a slot machine. Steady your blade - and spin!

#76: Slots & Daggers demo

Simple slot machine-driven monster fights. The machine has some good sound and visual design, feels like a nice clicky physical object, which is important since it's the only thing going on here.

Shadow of the Colossus: An oral history Celebrate the 20th anniversary of Team Ico’s masterpiece by looking back with 11 people who worked on it (and three who didn’t).

For the Shadow of the Colossus story, we interviewed 14 people including project leads Fumito Ueda and Kenji Kaido, hired Gravity Rush concept artist Takeshi Oga to illustrate the cover, and put together a 10,000-word story with help from @milkman.bsky.social @shmuplations.bsky.social and others.

Paxos accidentally mints more than twice the global GDP in PayPal stablecoins Paxos, the issuer of PayPal's PYUSD stablecoin, accidentally minted 300 trillion of the supposedly dollar-pegged token. For context, this is approximately 2.5x the global GDP, and around 125x the total number of US dollars actually in circulation. Paxos later announced that the mint was an "internal technical error", and that they had burned the excess tokens. While PayPal promises its customers that "Reserves are held 100% in US dollar deposits, US treasuries and cash equivalents – meaning that customer funds are available for 1:1 redemption with Paxos," there clearly isn't much in the way of safeguards to ensure that is always the case. As with most stablecoin issuers, Paxos merely issues self-reported and unreviewed portfolio reports, and monthly third-party attestations (not audits) of reserves.

Hero has been grinding and is above the level curve for this area, very smug

(Hero has been going really far down a starter job tree and is going to have a really hard time leveling up the actually consequential class they unlock at the start of the next zone)

Let’s go!

We are a tiny team working on Appulse. It is a fusion between pinball, top down shooter and roguelite where you need to protect your mothership from invading robots!

Not part of Next Fest this time but we recently released a new demo 🌟

INDUSTRIA 2 Demo on Steam Explore, scavenge and fight your way through a mysterious landscape consumed by an ever-hungry artificial intelligence to find a way home in this demo for INDUSTRIA 2, a narrative FPS adventure about ...

#75: INDUSTRIA 2 Demo

Leans heavier into survival horror than the first game, movement is slower, ammo is scarce, and the inventory has become a whole system including crafting. It really rewards scraping around their beautifully rendered distressed architecture.

#74: THRASHER demo

Visually exquisite, unlike anything you've ever put eyes on. Gameplay is super simple so nothing gets unreadable even when the screen gets really complex.

#73: I Hate This Place demo

Comic book style isometric survival horror. The size and color of sound effects is an indicator of how loud they are, letting you sneak more effectively around the noise sensitive monsters and hazards. Lots of great meat-moss and squelches in here.

SWAPMEAT on Steam Rip through hostile alien worlds, harvest mutant body parts mid-combat, and adapt faster than the enemies before they overwhelm you. Every alien you harvest gives you new body parts with unique powers...

#73: SWAPMEAT demo

This is a nextfext exclusive demo! Delightfully chaotic third person shooter with a cartoon aesthetic, you build your character with parts from the enemies you kill in a level so the moment-to-moment gameplay is always something new.

Old art from 2022 - Abyssal Shark
Most of you (at least everyone who read our first Shorks' book) know this artwork
Like the other ones, it was initially made for the #sharktober challenge!
After this challenge, some people suggest us to make a book out of it, so the Shorks' adventures just began !

The image is a 6 panel black and white comic Panel 1- A hand knocks on a door Panel 2- The door opens to reveal an air elemental. "Hey Calli" Panel 3- Calli, A serval humanoid creature, stands at the doorway looking concerned. "Hey jennifer, is everything okay? I heard Kindra yelling..." Panel 4- A shot of inside the house, where a fire elemental, Kindra, is furiously cooking and chopping food, clearly upset and muttering to herself. Jennifer, the air elemental says, "her ex moved in next door." Calli responds with "Awkward" Panel 5- Calli hesitantly asks, " Listen uh...Does that mean she's uh...Stress cooking again?" Panel 6-, From inside the apartment Kindra yells, "I'M NOT STRESS COOKING!!!!" As Jennifer now holds a plate of food, saying "Yeah want some deviled eggs"

Please welcome calli to the story

The image is four panels. Panel 1- An earth elemental with gem like hair and large stature walks beside a smaller bubbly water elemental, carrying a box. The water elemental is saying, "Ooh I'm so excited Terry! A whole new city to explore AND there's other elementals living next door!" Panel 2- The water elemental continues while stopping to knock on an apartment door, "I hope they like the gift we brought! I'm so excited!" Panel 3- A sharp looking fire elemental opens the door and goes, "hello?" Panel 4- The water elemental begins to introduce herself while the earth elemental stands beside her with a smile on her face. "Hi! My name is-"

The image is a 4 panel comic, which continues from the previous one Panel 1- Both the water elemental and the fire elemental recoil from each other while exclaiming, "YOU." Panel 2- The fire elemental slams the door shut on them in the hallway as the water elementals hair begins to boil Panel 3- From inside the apartment, there is an air elemental on the couch, eating popcorn, while the fire elemental stands with her back to the door and arms spread out beside it as if to hold the door closed. The air elemental asks "who was that?" Panel 4- From both sides of the door we see the elemental pointing and the fire elemental still leaning against it. They both yell "MY EX!!!"

More of the new team :)

i feel like the greenfield YIMBY city of the future should be less car-oriented and probably have some intercity transit options better than *squints at diagram* the western railway museum
