HORSES won the IGF Nuovo Award. We’re profoundly grateful. To us, this recognition also speaks to a broader idea: that no gatekeeper should decide which games deserve to exist or what counts as art. Thank you to everyone who supported HORSES and helped carry it this far. PS: What a wonderful team!

live-action One Piece still has that elusive hangout appeal, where half the reason you're tuning in is because it's just fun to watch the characters interact and go places

helped a guy whose apartment complex got bought by a nightmare company.

he kept getting directed to a tenant portal he did not have access to and then bounced between different AI call bots that could only send him links that didn't work

'Heel' Review: Finishing School for a Public Menace By keeping some of its cards close to its chest, 'Heel' respects our intelligence, which helps it to earn its sneakily moving ending.

Jan Komasa’s funny and disturbing HEEL basically imagines what My Fair Lady would look like if it had teeth. Read @midfalutin.bsky.social's review.

it's been wild to see the Jojo's Bizarre Adventure localization tie itself into knots avoiding REFERENCES at the same time as AI companies are arguing for their right to plagiarize all music
