Medical transition for trans kids is now banned for new referrals on the NHS. Trans kids in the UK can still go private or DIY (for now).

This means the new clinics that replaced GIDS are close to useless at best, conversion therapy at worst. 1/5

Former Pixar employee u/PixelatedRonin fires back at chief creative officer Pete Docter on Reddit over claims on LGBT storyline cut from 'Elio' (2025):

VHOLUME is great and you should play it. (then tell me your time)

I'll do Leah's first, but I'll pop this on my pile next. Drop me a DM and we'll sort it :)

hell yeah, reading Leah Script's is a Treat! Feel free to email it

If anyone would like some notes on a script, I've got some capacity to have a read!

If you're in the game industry and use LinkedIn, please do me a favor and share my post about Sentona Games screwing me out of money I'm owed. Thank you

It's something I'm baffled by everytime I see it. Even if you don't have headphones, why would you think everyone should have to listen to whatever it is on your phone too?

Attention people who think Stella is funny and cool (that’s you, reading this) — With Stella’s blessing I am organizing a fundraiser event (probably a livestream) to try and raise as much money as we can to replace the $24k that was stolen from her! Please DM me if you’d like to be involved!

Yeah the Mod Team do the lords work! It was still a great start point for me as a community but not so helpful now.

So many no-experience people just giving out the Defintive Advice everyday🙃

hi! i'm the Community Manager for Black Tabby Games and Sunset Visitor. you might assume from my job title that i'm quite comfortable with socializing... but i struggle with it pretty often!

if you do too, here's a handy article for navigating GDC (Great Difficulties with Communicating) 💖

I've been unemployed for a few months. I now set myself pretend jobs to prevent the rot setting in. My son thinks this guy is funny, which is a good enough excuse to make something. Any requests?

If you've not watched Devs, that's well worth it and one and done: www.imdb.com/title/tt8134...

Scented melts

I enjoy how this shop is named like an insult a Scottish person would throw at a group of English lads wearing too much lynx Africa

FYI for fellow narrative designers/game writers: the studio in question is Sentona Games and it’s my understanding they are currently interviewing to replace me. Be very careful with them. They were very nice to me and easy to work with right up until I needed the money I was promised.

Picture of a tub labelled "jar full of soldiers". Below is a still of Lydia Bennett looking thirsty.

stole this off reddit for the very niche group of you who will enjoy it as much as I did

Glad I watched it. Never again.

Spring Breakers

And after all that, the Pitt/Cruise AI fight scene appears to have been just digital BG and face replacement on multi-angle green screen reference videos of two real live human stuntees fighting.

In other words, like most AI hype — it was a con. www.shokunin.studio/blog/2026/2/...

Don't underestimate the power of a "what the fuck, man". The status quo depends on the silence of bystanders.

short about working at the coast guard

A fabricated statement from Nintendo of America's Twitter account addressing a fictitious scenario in which the Earth's oxygen supply is presumed to be depleting at a rapid pace, leaving humanity with mere days to live. "This is Miyamoto. On behalf of everyone who is employed at Nintendo Co. LTD and its subsidiaries, we deeply mourn the countless human lives which will be lost due to the depletion of the global oxygen supply. To anyone who has ever played one of our games, we are eternally grateful to have created long-lasting fun and memories for you. To ease the suffering of families and children across the world, the Mario Kart World game for the Nintendo Switch 2 system will be available as a free download on Nintendo eShop for the foreseeable future. We hope this small gesture of kindness will ease the pain as humanity prepares for a worst-case scenario." The statement is distastefully plastered with logos for Nintendo and Nintendo Switch 2, as well as with a render of Mario from Mario Kart World.

A fabricated Twitter thread responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement. John Default Profile Picture: "No one read this statement and thought it was distasteful? Why did Miyamoto think this would help anyone?" NintenDeen: "Simple: Nintendo is so depraved that they'd exploit a global crisis to boost the player count of the failed Mario Kart World and force consumers back into the Switch 2 ecosystem to boost sales and player numbers."

A fabricated Twitter thread responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement. PlayStation Nation: "What the fuck are you doing falsely advertising sales during these trying times? I went to the website and Mario Kart World is still selling for $80 USD." Kremling Kevin: "If you actually read the statement, it clearly says the discount is available on Nintendo eShop. Meaning the application on the Switch 2 itself, not the web browser version." PlayStation Nation: "Point still stands."

A fabricated Tweet responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement. Isaboner: "Nothing for Switch 1 owners?"

Had a dream that there was global panic about the world running out of oxygen, Nintendo was the only video game company to make a statement about it, and the internet collectively spent its final hours on Earth debating whether Nintendo was being genuine or not

That's a cool choice! I do love when a song becomes the thing that clicks your brain into place.
