How Netanyahu Prolonged the War in Gaza to Stay in Power

I really think this article is sensational and hard hitting. It’s very long, but worth reading. (It’s a gifted link I hope you enjoy)

I do feel like indie game devs should do more launch parties, seems healthier then sitting at your desk and staring at the steam dev dashboard

the thing about layoffs of this scale is that so much is happening it involves days and days of discovering fresh horrors

We’re Done Playing Video game workers strike back. Over the last few years, game workers have been struck by unprecedented mass layoffs, driven by corporate greed and short-term profit seeking. While employers treat us...

Mass layoffs affecting thousands of workers. Cancelled development cycles sweeping years of hard work under the rug.

We have seen time and again how little the worker matters to corporate leadership.

You’re 100% right about having to be a sicko. I choose to make dumb VR jokes because because I have so much fun doing it, and it seems like there’s no part of the VR ecosystem that encourages me to keep doing that

Someone asked me what I thought of VR games in general in 2025 on our discord. I spent too much time writing this so figured I'd share it elsewhere. This is written off the top of my head so apologies for overbroad generalizations. Coffee-shop tier banter.

I think win or lose the lesson from tonight’s nyc mayoral race is that the Democratic establishment are openly contemptuous of anyone that actually believes a better world is possible, will fight tooth and nail to stop anyone who does, and must be ousted before we can even hope to fight back.

please change to anything but spotify. like there’s a bigger shift that it’d be nice if people did with actually owning music again but the lowest effort thing you can do today right now is just change to literally any other streaming service. playlist converters exist.
