This is everywhere in the Unity engine, and it's not like it makes it more "thread safe" since the majority of the logic runs in a single thread. Just a baffling design decision; I'd love to know the reasoning behind it.

Indies, there's a lot of beloved franchises out there that are just aching for indie reboots. While the IP is under copyrights the ideas are not; there's no reason we can't have an indie takes on The Sims, Dragon Age, and Mass Effect. The gameplay, the settings, the themes are all free to pick up.

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

Feels like exactly what happed with E3 before it vanished. "We're making this industry event way too difficult for industry people to attend, so let's OPEN THE FLOOD GATES!"

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

More and more people reporting today that Stripe - the payment processor that Itch said were putting the most pressure on them - now have staff actively confirming that yes, they are censoring LGBT content, adult or otherwise. That this is official company policy.

This seems kinda significant.

Absolutely! The Hawaiian culture is full of really endearing and empathetic acts like that.; they grew up in a land that provided everything, so focus was on play and caring for each other. I wish more cultures adopted it!

Native Hawaiians have a greeting called Honi, which has a part of exchanging breaths with your heads held close. The term ha'ole which is used interchangeably with "foreigner" literally means "no breath" as they did not greet people the same way as the natives.

Hammer on nail... this man is going viral.

Reddit post on r/technology about young people and AI: "I recently heard about a teacher who instead of trying to circumvent students using AI, which is impossible, she made assignments by going "ask ChatGPT to write a report on this subject, and then research how and why it's wrong". Not only did the students discover that ChatGPT is extremely wrong a lot of the time, it also lead them to realise that they should not use it as a primary source".

This is one of the best ideas I've heard in ages.

remember when we had a free and open internet

i miss that

I self-published Without a Dawn in May. I made zero compromises, and I couldn't be happier how it turned out: store.steampowered.com/app/3145620/... 💛💚
Unfortunately, I've had very little luck with exposure, including the gaming press. 😩

Reality check:

* Starmer is a self-admitted transphobe.

* Labour are banned from every Pride in the UK.

* UK has dropped from #1 in Europe to the worst in Western Europe.

* Trans adults and families with trans kids are fleeing the UK.

* Lempkin Institute issued a genocide warning for the UK.

In the summers, I give presentations about game dev to high school STEM camps. One of the questions I've had multiple times in the last year or two is: "couldn't you make more money if you added gacha mechanics or psychological tricks to your games?"

“We applaud Oregon for stepping up to address single-use plastic. With SB 54, California has the chance to go even further by not just managing plastic waste, but preventing it.” – Amy Wolfrum, director of California Policy and Government Affairs, Monterey Bay Aquarium.

Given the state of the game tech industry and just... <gestures broadly at everything>, I have a strong feeling that I will building games in Godot on Linux in the future.

If "AI" was as valuable as they say it is, they wouldn't be selling it to you. They'd be using it themselves in secret to make the next Minecraft, the next Avatar, the next Hello Kitty and then they'd sell that to you.

They're trying to sell you a sick goose, while pretending it lays golden eggs.

I am still figuring out logistics (and Rami has kindly offered to help a lil!), but I’ve been putting together a means for game devs to present GDC-style ‘talks’ on @playwatchlisten.bsky.social. When it’s public, devs will be able to submit a topic for consideration, and will be paid for their time!

We're also seeing increased cannabis usage in younger adults, which has been shown to cause problems in brain development (your brain doesn't stop developing until your mid 20's). Seeing more schizophrenia, cancers and cardio-vascular events as well (THC concentrated vapes are a new thing).

Disposable E-Cigarettes More Toxic Than Traditional Cigarettes They may look like travel shampoo bottles and smell like bubblegum, but after a few hundred puffs, some disposable, electronic cigarettes and vape pods release higher amounts of toxic metals than olde...

Oh huh, so for the kids who are Not Alright (and voted Trump), this is. Huh.

Vape pens have a shitload of lead: www.ucdavis.edu/news/disposa...
