Congrats team! :D

Folks pretend that these two things can't be simultaneously true: Trump is a worse all up person/politician AND that the Dems would have been equally as bad on this issue, and made that, as you said, abundantly clear. The lesser of two evils is still evil, etc., etc. Genocide is still genocide.

Find Out Why Health Insurance Denied Your Claim You likely have the right to access records that explain why your insurer denied your claim or prior authorization request. Use ProPublica’s free tool to generate a letter requesting your claim file f...

I don't know who needs to know this, but Pro Publica has an online thing that will format a letter to your US health insurance company to demand the records behind a claim denial. (which the insurance is then legally required to provide in most cases)

I’m speaking very generally here but I think a lot of video game enjoyers would benefit from “I wonder what purpose it servers for the writers to make this choice” rather than “I didn’t like this so it just sucks and they should change it”

Does this mean you're responsible for the great description on the Summer Tire?

WaPo Headline: Dropping aid from planes is expensive and inefficient. Why do it?

We never ask this about bombs.

"We're having trouble filling this role."

In 2024, after like 18,000 game devs have been laid off in the last year, and you're having trouble FILLING a role?

No you're not. You're having trouble with 1. paying people what they are worth. 2. Not forcing them to move thousands of miles.

That's it.

Doctor on possible revision to CDC's COVID guidelines: "No change in the science" The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention may revise its COVID-19 isolation guidelines to more closely match those for flu and other respiratory diseases, according to a report by the Washington ...

Doctor on possible revision to CDC's COVID guidelines: "Frankly, there's been no change in the science. This is about what corporate America wants."

It do be like that sometimes.

I'm about as active on here as I was on Twitter, but because my feed is so uncluttered I don't waste time scrolling to find interesting stuff, so I end up just checking it every couple of days to catch up on anything I missed.

A delightful programming read: the absolute madness of "odd or even" using if-statements only.

After 23 years, developer reveals he snuck a cheat code past Sony that turns a cult-classic horror g... Alien Resurrection can be turned into a "boot disk" for playing burned PS1 games

Ok this has to be the hardest cert break in game dev history.

gamedev.world gamedev.world is the global game developer conference. Featuring 30+ speaker from all over the planet, all talks will be close-captioned and translated from and into a wide variety of languages.

December 9th our team will be hosting the second-ever gamedev.world global developer conference. With ~30 speakers from all over the world, the goal of the event is to democratize developer knowledge, break the invisible language barrier, and do it at no cost to viewers.

Be sure to high five folks for me. Will leave it to your discretion who deserves a high five. 😆

We cannot stay silent on what is happening in Palestine. Not just the games industry, but everyone. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDB_...

Ceasefire In Gaza NOW! Resources and action items to call for an end to the violence in Gaza.

We are about to call 25k numbers to patch folks through to call for ceasefire. ceasefiretoday.com

Talking with the veterans and if there is one thing that being in gamedev for a long time has taught me it’s that being called ‘difficult’ is what happens when you need resources and information to do your job and they don’t want to give it to you

did u know the real reason pc games use the wasd keys to move???
w is for "walking forward"
a is for "am going left"
d is for "due right"
and s is for "sbackward"

Half a million people in London right now. Jewish activists in New York last night. Polls in both countries overwhelmingly support a ceasefire in Gaza. Cannot imagine this level of support even five years ago. Whatever happens, the Palestinians are no longer alone.

Tweet from America The Ghetto: Doctors in Gaza are doing livestreams of their hospital to dispute Israeli claims that it's a Hamas base so they aren't bombed. Do you understand how insane this level of dehumanization is?!? Instead being able to attend to their sick and injured patients they have to do press?!?

Some of This Year’s Biggest Video Games Were Made From Home The debate over whether great video games can be made remotely isn’t much of a debate at all

As video game companies reckon with the debate over remote work, some of 2023’s best and biggest games were made by developers who were allowed to ditch the commute. This week’s newsletter: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Watching people on tv talk about how losing a girlfriend and losing a job are stressors that can play a part in motivating a mass shooter and nobody’s talking about the fact that women lose jobs and relationships too and it literally almost never ends in mass murder.

Reproduction of excerpt from Timothy Snyder's book ON TYRANNY: "1. Do not obey in advance. Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do."

As well-meaning publishers try to navigate the coming storm of state laws against diversity, I hope they'll consider Timothy Snyder's Rule #1 (from his slim book ON TYRANNY).

+1, I absolutely loved this. The first time I ran into one and realized what they were doing I was blown away.

It's not enough to say that history will judge or condemn in an era when history is literally being white washed & censored & taken out of the hands of young people, we need to pick a different arbiter.

white ppl stop telling arabs they don’t do enough challenge

how about you stop supporting the isreali government’s eradication effort of palestinians instead of telling other arabs to just take in people getting pushed from their fucking homeland
