What I find notable is that he puts statehood for Palestians as "inalienable", while *utterly* rejecting it "domestically" for the "UK". It's pure positioning.

Oh that's neat. I've used the old PEAT tool but that was increasingly hard to use and hard non-commercial.

The only AAA bug I've ever seen from a games legal department was in a game where we got a substantial amount of assets to use from the previous game.

And one of the posters had a phone number on it.

Long story short, devs, make sure you don't use real phone numbers in games.

Games using sound as a *game mechanic*. There's i.e. rhythm games, but I'm looking beyond that.

Core mechanic!

I'm looking at my list of games genres and examples for my games students, and I'm falling short in one area - indy sound games.

Do people have any good examples of those from recent years?

Zero.

If you're making a game, you pay royalties if the project makes over a million dollars (over it's lifetime) rather than per-seat.

(Non-games usage is handled differently, but it's still based on YOUR company revenue rather than that of your clients)

Yea that's a thing these days.

The GPS coordinates they gave me for my missing package was across the road. Never did see that package.

I'm at the stage where it's "anything but royal mail". Other carriers (otherwise terrible) will deliver to local shops for pickup.

I used redact; redact.dev

Avoids the browser script method, it's a lot slower but you can just let it run. Got almost everything and finished off manually in ~15 mins.

I used Redact, redact.dev
It got all but like...50 replies and some media tweets I did manually.

(The 2k limit isn't real, just took some hours)

I literally did my MA Game Design dissertation on classifying MMO advancement systems and how they reward players, does that count?

Sadly, also wrong side of the pond.
