Open Source Organizations Join the conversation

We've heard people like Starter Packs, so we just begun putting one together for open source organizations. It could be an OSPO like us, a Foundation that supports projects and the ecosystem or accounts for OSS events.

Take a look and tell us who else should be there.

Como veo que por año nuevo hay nueva oleada de peñita que se ha venido a @bsky.app y además han tenido a bien buscarme y seguirme, aquí os comparto dos paquetes de bienvenida de gentecilla del gremio de los videojuegos.

Also currently they are running a series of events around sustainability. It feels progressive, as it is something rarely seen even these days.

It is the only organisation of its kind that I know of that is all about the art and craft of making games, not the business. I have never seen that before, not in the UK nor in my home country Denmark.

There are lots of venues for beginners to meet these days. As a founder of the Nordic and Global Game Jams I have created some of those. I also attend indie meetups!in my community.

But because of how I work, BAFTA provides a rare opportunity for me to meet other old farts like myself.

The access to content for voting feels unique and despite being a 'club', it is a rather large club and thus quite a few of us get to vote in craft-specific categories. Again, because of its size, it does feel more democratic than other awards.

For all there is to criticise, and I have been a very vocal critic in the past, I do think BAFTA is doing a few things right

What are some mobile games that you think make good use of the form factor, and that you'd recommend?

Preferably premium, though I'm not allergic to freemium if done in a way that respects my time (e.g. pay to unlock full game or remove ads).

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”

A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Absolutely yes! I bake to relax and clear my mind

Forbidden Solitaire on Steam Forbidden Solitaire is a card-slashing horror game about unearthing the contents of a cryptic 1995 CD-ROM that should have never existed. From the creators of Ancient Enemy and Home Safety Hotline.

We've had a bit of a whirlwind week since we announced Forbidden Solitaire.

First we reached over 7000 wishlists in 48 hours, then over 9000 a couple of days later. People loved the trailer by @slicknicklives.bsky.social and we got some press too!
