Love the Labour strategy of trying to capture the votes of people who already detest them!

How does this not sound like electoral poison to the Labour party?

Wait, are they banning Symposium? That's so, so funny, you think Symposium is going to make the kids gay? No, Ryan Murphy already did that

A timeline visually representing the advice from my post, emphasising how dramatically and reliably having more time, with a testable build, converts to your game being better and your studio being safer.

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice:

I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

Had an outrageously fun time putting together and playing this silly Hail, Caesar style game

We need to teach people the difference between being uncomfortable and being unsafe. Because the discomfort of the safest people is endangering the most vulnerable, all day every day.

I fell into a rabbit hole about Turkmenistan recently, central Asia's hermit kingdom. Spinning golden idols do feature. And then I found out about Soltan Achilova. I think it's really cool that a super repressive regime is deeply fucking scared of one old lady who tells the truth.

Remember, it's always a joke until it isn't

So about that 3D printer @hollyanderson.bsky.social

UK Home Office tells parents their children should return to Brazil alone While Ana Luiza Cabral Gouveia and Hugo Barbosa can remain, letter says sons, 11 and eight, must go back to Brazil

Let's not forget to rag on the UK's deeply punitive immigration policies, not just maintained but deepened by Starmer's government.

@edzitron.com covered this on Better Offline and the way it made my piss boil I could have run a steam engine off my kidneys

about last night's ANDOR episodes, the cycles of historical violence playing out on ghorman, and gaza. @vulture.com:

Israel plans to capture all of Gaza under new plan, officials say Two Israeli officials says ministers have approved a plan to capture the entirety of the Gaza Strip and remain in the territory for an unspecified amount of time.

And "voluntarily emigrate" the entire population. So it's completing the genocide, that's the plan, right?

Pritzker: If we don’t want to repeat history, then for god’s sake, in this moment, we better be strong enough to learn from it.

At last, a good laugh

Real conversation a student:
Me - "The Huguenots came from France"
Her - "Is France the same as Europe?"
Me - "Where is France?"
Her - "Paris?"
*I cover my mouth in shock, she bows her head in shame*

And I want to be clear, when I say Israel, read Israeli government.

The USA will not only abet this genocide but proposes to profit from it. Who bulldozed what was left? Who dropped those unexploded bombs? Gaza did not spontaneously combust, it was murdered.

US and Israel reject Arab alternative to Trump's Gaza reconstruction plan - BBC News They say the Arab League's proposal for post-war reconstruction fails to address realities in Gaza.

Obviously, Bibi wants to finish his genocide. October 7th became the pretense Israel had needed for decades to finally exterminate Palestine. America will be handmaid to the betrayal of Ukraine and total ruination of Palestine. The world order we knew is over, if it ever existed at all.

I get so many YouTube ads telling me to visit the Emirates, and no, I like my holidays not in the desert and with approximately 100 to 150 percent less slavery

No, this would not have saved Veilguard. Retaining the staff who made earlier games a success and never having wasted time on live-service dev before an unwieldy pivot to boxed product would've saved Veilguard. Baffles me how these dudes seem pathologically incapable of learning the right lessons!

Wilcox, their mind is full of spiders that long to make games, and here's a condensed version of fabulous flagship

Something full of awe is coming and we're rather pleased with the wicked japes within

Dev team after dev team have met the axe of incompetence

Why Marc Andreessen was 'very scared' after meeting with the Biden administration about AI | TechCrunch What scared him most was what some said about the government’s role in AI, and what he described as a young staff who were “out for blood. ”

Marc Andreessen sucks, is a ghoul, is a man who shouldn't be by the levers of power but he will be. All of these big tech guys have no morals, ethics, or principles and somehow we allowed them to take over the world.

Wilcox at it again with a spooky island, we love a spooky island

Would love to get a piece o this list 🙏🏿

Lemme see 👀
