So much about our current national situation is explained by the fact that a substantial proportion of Americans truly believe that “feeling somewhat uncomfortable” is the same as being the victim of an actual crime

there is a subset of fan who's very attached to the team they made in their first pokemon game and wants to take them everywhere

Hmm... I can see why some prefer it but I prefer the numpad. Easier to control.

I know a lot of you have already heard or read about BDS Movement's call against Microsoft, and felt weird and bad about it all, but decided to move forward as normal because of some degree of ambiguity.

"What service is Microsoft providing?"

Here it is, clear as day. A direct line to death.

The first time you heard "Squadala, we're off!"
The first time you held the paddle controller.
The first time you did the nude code in 'The Apprentice.'
The first time he said "And YOU gotta help us!"

The CD-i gave us memories.
We gave it our hearts. 💙 🎮

your retro gaming scene if it doesn’t include any trans or queer folks:

“hey guys wasn’t Mega Man 2 cool? wasn’t TMNT the arcade game cool? wasn’t Super Mario Bros 3 cool? wasn’t Contra cool? UP UP DOWN DOWN remember that lol?”

if you truly think indie games are the last bastion of creativity in an industry on the verge of collapse then please put your money where your mouth is and fund some peoples' passion projects

Mirror's Edge

Christ (no pun intended) this is giving me memories I did not want

Gaza Freedom Flotilla has released statement that Black labour leader Chris Smalls (Amazon Labour Union) faced violence that no one else on Handala did. He has been severely beaten in Israeli custody.

Smalls follows in legacy of Black radical tradition for Palestine. Labour must stand for Smalls.

This game got delayed pretty significantly, too! There's been some talk about mismanagement inside the studio though I haven't combed through anything to find specifics

Rara is throwing me a Flintstones-sized bone for me here by hosting me on their stream for this. We're gonna be flying by the seat of our pants just to see what we can make happen for all parties, but will be going as long as we can to make things happen!

*sees concentration camps* these are gulags

Two things itch could have done and did not-

1- have a prominent clearly outlining the risk of selling adult content on their platform and the vulnerable position they were in, these risks were known

2- fundraise a hardship fund for affected marginalized artists. They could still do this!

That's similar to what Media Molecule did for Dreams. Looks great! Curious about the optimizations at play.

Art test for new project! Re-post if you'd play a game that looks like this thats about driving trains between rust belt cities delivering mutual aid at industrial scale to support strikes and worker uprisings. Updates on my progress via my mailing list - comradery.co/underwork

I wish we had gotten some warning from Steam and Itch... but we already know it's Collective Shout + payment processors waging culture war against LGBTQ people and sexual expression. I guess there's nothing else for Steam and Itch to say

with all due respect, making a game with a gay bear/fox couple without knowing gay slang is some sitcom shit

the fact that they're using such a latin-derived ethnically-neutral name for the enemy team as "pax armata" makes me assume they know exactly how poor taste it is and are trying to cover their ass

LeFay was a proper [largely unsung] pillar of the industry, with a history dating back to the Amiga demoscene days and contributions to gamedev in the decades since / as recent as the months before his passing. Undoubtedly the major driving force behind Bethesda's early success.

i am not a financial expert but i dont think the company that sells gaming GPUs should be the backbone of any functional country's economy

it's funny that blender lets you disable the default cube in the settings but no one does it because of how iconic it is

I am poor american, this is the gpu I use
