Playing around with HDR grading and YouTube videos - interested in what folk think of this format! Want to try and get more into the habit of doing YT videos, so easing myself in a bit with this one. Feels a bit cringe and clickbaity, but maybe a chill watch? 🫣 www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJz2...

They should make a Tenet graphic novel adaptation where everyone going backwards in time turns into a manga character.

Holy shit, Davinci Resolve is adding a photo mode! This is legitimately the #1 feature I would have asked for and I never thought BlackMagick would actually do it?!
Is there a term for the opposite of Redundant Acronym Syndrome (e.g. PIN number etc.) to describe where the word feels redundant but actually isn't? Any time I talk about Unreal's Material Parameter Collections and have to say 'MPC Parameter' it feels wrong in a RAS way, but is technically correct.

Streeting has a full review into diagnosis of ADHD and Autism that shows there is no overdiagnosis. But he’s commissioned another in the hope of getting a result that lets him strip people of healthcare. Please consider signing this petition against it: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/75...

Today is Sex Worker's Rights Day. Sex worker rights are human rights not just because we're humans just like you, but also any rights taken from us will be taken from you too. Surveillance, police violence, debanking, censorship, we faced all of those for years before it turned on everyone else.
Every time that a game has ambitions to be the next Doom, WoW, Apex, etc. I'm always reminded of Douglas Adams talking about how he wanted to be a member of Monty Python when he was younger. Cleese, specifically, and didn't really understand that the role was already taken until he was much older.
Lady Emily ☄️@ladyemily.nebula.tv · 6mo agoI feel really bad for the employees who were fired and whose work will now be gone in anything except YouTube gameplay uploads. But also god, what a sadly obvious outcome. And the executives so clearly hinging everything on this being an Apex level surprise drop hit are part of the blame here
TIL Orient Express makes yachts and lets you book voyages on them like cruises. This is going to get real weird real fast if they start doing cruises down the Nile and someone gets murdered.
I accidentally installed both Avowed and Unavowed on my computer and now both games are gone.
TFW you've finished TR-49, have a hankering for more database puzzlers, just in time for the DOJ to release a real banger.
I often think about how @christinelove.bsky.social's Hate Plus depicted the Mugunghwa's frustrating and dumb slide into patriarchal authoritarianism and man is the real world so much stupider than that

Strange Horticulture was the cosiest puzzle game that was enormously fun, and Strange Antiquities is the perfect follow-up. Getting close to the end now and thoroughly enjoying it.
Thinky Games@thinkygames.com · 11mo agoStrange Antiquities is a cozy, creepy puzzle adventure that's perfect for dark autumnal nights!
Every time there's a cabinet reshuffle, I just really want someone to make a deck builder game based on parliamentary politics where you can literally reshuffle your deck and draw a new cabinet as a mechanic.
This is very good.
