At The Game Bakers we care about our planet. Since 2022, we have taken measures to reduce the impact of our studio and games on the environment. Today we’re announcing that we are joining the Playing for the Planet alliance. 🧵

Unesco alerta sobre el auge de la IA: se dispara la demanda de agua, energía y minerales críticos Un informe de la agencia de la ONU recomienda desarrollar modelos más pequeños y educar a la ciudadanía para que conozca el coste ético y medioambiental de esta tecnología

La IA está ejerciendo una presión cada vez mayor sobre los sistemas energéticos globales, los recursos hídricos y los minerales críticos. “Los consumidores no son conscientes de estos costes, y se ha hecho poco para educarles” social.elpais.com/r96br15

Turns out, we’re missing a few bards, and not just that one. Only 1.82% of all players managed to earn 100 gold from playing music. PlayStation players are more musically inclined (or Platinum-motivated), with 2.26% of all PlayStation players having earned this achievement! 2.07% of players wobbled their way to victory, defeating twenty opponents while drunk. PlayStation players were the ones most often drinking from the bottle, closely followed by Steam players. 3.87% of players managed to defeat Gortash in Wyrm’s Rock without activating any traps. Steam players had the fanciest footwork, with 4.37% successfully avoiding triggering traps. 2.30% of players managed to multiclass their way through every class in a single playthrough without asking dear old Withers for a helping hand. 1.1M players have completed Baldur’s Gate 3 in Tactician Mode.

We've seen you embrace characters, rewrite the rules, and make the world your own for two years, and we’re still in awe of your support.

To celebrate, we’re sharing the rare achievements and the even rarer choices that you’ve been making!

Community Update #35: larian.club/CU35

Post from "The Rundown" July 18 at 5:30 PM · DuckDuckGo has introduced a new feature allowing users to filter out AI-generated images from search results, addressing growing concerns over synthetic content overwhelming authentic visuals online. The filter can be activated through a dropdown in the Images tab, search settings, or by using a dedicated AI-free domain: noai.duckduckgo.com. The system relies on curated blocklists, including uBlockOrigin’s Huge AI Blocklist, to detect and suppress AI-generated imagery. While not perfect, it significantly reduces synthetic content visibility. This move sets DuckDuckGo apart from competitors like Google and Bing by giving users direct control over their exposure to AI-generated material. Source: TechCrunch

Valve breaking silence on this is huge, they really dont do this. Companies, at this scale, dont -do this-.

Visa, mastercard, stripe and paypal are feeling the pressure. They are making mistakes under pressure.

There's no anomaly here. People, globally, volunteer their time to powerful public goods the moment they're not actively terrified that they'll lose their home, their food, and their freedom. Which means that capitalism requires us all to live in fear, always - because it can't compete with free.

visa and mastercard deciding what games are allowed to be sold is an apocalyptic level threat to the games industry. phone calls are the highest impact way to help.

this is an all hands on deck situation. the enemy got results with 1000 phone calls.

we can beat them

If you care about games, take a moment to read through this and take action. NSFW games might not be for you - they're not for me - but we cannot allow a small group of censorious extremists to decide that people can not make games about sex, about sexuality, and about the role of sex in our world.

I need you to stop what you’re doing right now and watch this

Ozzy Osbourne has passed away at the age of 76

Ozzy Osbourne Farewell Show Was The Highest-Grossing Charity Concert Of All Time On July 5, Ozzy Osbourne put on a farewell concert, performing as a solo artist and with Black Sabbath for the last time in the band’s hometown of Birmingham, UK. Billed as the “Back To The Beginning”...

Without immediate intervention, the last reporters in Gaza will die July 21, 2025 AFP has been working with 1 writer, 3 photographers and 6 videographers, all freelance, in the Gaza Strip since its staff journalists left in 2024. Along with a few others, they are now the only ones left to report what is happening in the Gaza Strip. The international press has been banned from entering the territory for nearly two years. We refuse to watch them die. One of them, Bashar, has been working with AFP since 2010, first as a fixer, then freelance photographer, and since 2024, as lead photographer. On July 19th he managed to post a message on Facebook: “I no longer have the strength to work for the media. My body is thin and I can’t work anymore.” Bashar, 30, works & lives in the same conditions as all Gazans, moving from one refugee camp to another under Israeli bombings. For > a year he’s lived in utter destitution, working at extreme risk to his life. Hygiene is a major issue for him, with recurring bouts of severe intestinal illness. Since Feb, Bashar’s been living in the ruins of his home in Gaza City with his mother, 4 brothers & sisters and the family of one of his brothers. Their house is devoid of any furnishings, except a few cushions. On Sunday morning, he reported that one of his brothers had “fallen, due to hunger.” Even though these journalists receive a monthly salary from AFP, it’s no longer enough to buy food, or they have to pay completely exorbitant prices. The banking system has collapsed, and those who exchange money via online bank accounts charge a commission of up to 40%. AFP no longer has the ability to provide them with a vehicle and there is not enough fuel to allow these journalists to travel for their reporting. Driving a car means becoming a target for Israeli airstrikes. AFP reporters therefore travel on foot or by donkey cart. (alt txt continued in next post)

It was my fourth time in the city — this time with a much more relaxed vibe.
