To be clear, GitHub has already been shoving AI down our throats, and Dohmke even said "embrace AI or leave your career". But this further absorption into CoreAI is the final straw for me. The Terms of Service and Privacy Statement are already sketch, but more importantly, I don't trust Microsoft.

if cooks could kill

theres other jobs that don't involve supporting fash that can be done. blast 'em.

Sometimes I do wonder how much farther we could progress if say, 800x600 was the norm and 1024x768 was the big exception that was the peak of screen resolutions. A lot of stuff we struggle with today(*cough* raytracing above 1080, anti aliasing) sure would be a lot easier.

if you work in games in the uk, do yourself a favour and join the dang union

It took me 3 minutes to lodge a complain against Collective Shout for falsely identifying as a charity. I encourage other Australian Game devs to do the same.

Honestly what most of us are feeling

TODAY IS FRIDAY NIGHT IN JAPAN

One element of the political policing intimidation attempt is over. We played a historic set at Glastonbury. Whole area closed an hour before due to crowds. A celebration of love and solidarity. A sea of good people at the world's most famous festival. Shortly afterwards we learn of an active police investigation. An investigation that followed after the Prime Minister himself said it "was not appropriate" we played Glastonbury. Walk off stage to the rapturous sounds of good people and into the creaking scheming sounds of the establishment.

This "investigation" was reported across the world's media often with wildly misleading headlines. Every single person who saw our set knew no law was broken, not even close....yet the police saw fit to publicly announce they were opening an investigation. Why open and publicise an investigation into fuck all? This is political. This is targetted. This is state intimidation.

After the media damage is inflicted and seen by millions of eyes - you receive a private email to say there's no evidence and no action - that is seen by two people only. There is no public apology, they don't send this to media or post it on police accounts. We will continue to fight. We will continue to win.

Email from Avon and Somerset Police to Kneecap legal team: "I am Senior Investigating Officer for Avon and Somerset Police's investigation into Kneecap's performance at the Glastonbury Festival on 28th June 2025. Following a review of the evidence, I have determined there will be no further action. I would be grateful if you could communicate this to your clients, and/or advise me of an alternative way if contacting them. Thank you for your assistance in this matter. Regards, Detective Superintendent [Name redacted]"

he's crashing out, i can't wait for him to *actually* finally crash and burn

🙋‍♀️ Been waving this flag for a decade now. Until something fundamentally changes, the industry will be choked by shareholder capitalism with anything that was ever good in it entirely removed, or used as a palette cleanser for continued brutality. Beware!

they look so happy 🥹

GDQuest and Brackeys! That said, Godot is definitely a LOT easier to understand if you aren't a complete beginner. The documentation itself is really well written.

The planet does not need more successful people. The planet desperately needs more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of all kinds.

i resent how what i wrote for my game in fiction is not something i have to draw from reality for anymore, it's just straight up happening.

I'm sorry 💔😢

🖤

did you know: the major character in this game besides the ball is a whale animated by Jay Benson, who you might know from the first and last pages of The Final Hours Of Half-Life Alyx!

if YOU found this piece of trivia sort of weird and left field, consider buying InFlux Redux

I revisit That Funny Feeling whenever something big happens again. Lately it's been almost every other week.

screenshot of a Facebook post by Corey Robin, which says: "By the way, did you all notice how Zohran made affordability a central issue of his campaign without selling out trans kids or shitting on immigrants? Might be some lessons there. Just a thought."

he's right and he's right to say it

"boom, roasted" I say, as they go back to ruining reality for hundreds of millions of people completely unimpeded, and for which no consequences of any kind will ever reach them

Yet again this decade, the West and its genocidal politicians break treaties, assassinate people, and ignore international law, only to ask for Iran "to show restraint". So far, consistently, Iran has shown restraint and kept its response entirely within the bounds of international law.

A screenshot of a post previously from Greenpeace. It’s a photo of a blue fence with black writing on top. The writing says: ‘If you ever feel heavy because you care deeply about injustice, suffering and ecological destruction. Remember that’s trillion dollar propaganda machine was built to make you numb and it didn’t work on you. ‘

I needed to read this today. Thought someone else might need it too.

Oh hell yeah. All I'll say is you're in for a *really* fun ride

i will keep fighting until we're all free or im dead

one day we will all be free even if the way there is painful and long
