If you're part of the BioWare or Sims community and want to talk about how those studios' queer characters and themes have impacted you and your fears for those series moving forward after this sale, I'd love to chat with you for a Kotaku story. Can be reached here or email kshepard@kotaku.com

Well, I guess Electronic Arts belongs to Saudi Arabia, private equity, and Jared Kushner now. https://kotaku.com/electronic-arts-officially-belongs-saudi-arabia-jared-kushner-now-2000721666

It's my birthday! ✨ Pulling an @osamadorias.bsky.social remix and saying that all I want is a photo of your (or someone else's) cute dog! I wanna scroll through everyone's pictures tonight and 🥰🥰🥰 (Wrote this 3 weeks ago on my actual birthday, but then my ADHD ass forgot it in my drafts...💀)

Gonna open a queer pub and call it the progress bar.

I don't want to influence your votes but honestly the H proposal for the new European bank notes looks amazing!! www.ecb.europa.eu/euro/banknot...

I am the product of millennia of evolution; part of a species that has evolved into the pinnacle of survival on this planet, capable of language, tools, and spaceflight... And yet I'll still accidentally nearly drown myself on a regular basis, simply trying to drink a glass of water.

My latest hobby has been making sun catchers, and I just finished this one that I've been working on for months, bit by bit, that I'm really proud of! It's for a friend's new rope dojo (in pastel pinks & greens), so I made it cherry blossom themed — and I think it's my prettiest one yet... 🥹🌸✨

Yet another comedy in three parts.

I want a reverse-Witcher story that follows a mythological creature veterinarian in a universe where Geralt is the villain. Please and thank you.

I used to hate saying "FTUE" (first-time user experience) (pronounced "fih-TOO-ee") and would avoid it in favor of being specific about aspects of player onboarding (tutorial, UI, etc.). Then a dev playtester was like "I love 'FTUE' because 'fatui' means 'fool' in Latin. And players are fools."

Proud to announce our HARDSHIP FUND: uvw-cwa.org/hardship-fun... If you've been recently laid off and need support, we got you.

You know what Nintendo does when they have a surplus set of devs from cancellations or production ending? Put them on other projects. The ability to redeploy headcount while keeping teams together over time is like, the main strategic benefit of scale in the game industry

I fell in love with Boomerang Fu at GDC 2019, and would just like @paulkopetko.bsky.social to know that my niece & nephew have been obsessed with it for years — and STILL beg to make guacamole of each other every single time they come stay with me... 😂

This is Lady and Piper. Lady really loves playing fetch. Maybe even enough for the two of them. 13/10 for both (TT: rachaelsteinle)

You think you have nothing to hide? Okay, but, do you know how much about you a webpage can track, without even asking for permissions? Take a look at taken:

taken.

A web page that tells you what your browser gave away the moment you arrived. No login, no form, no permission. Most pages do this. None of them tell you.

You know it was Americans who wrote the popularised version because no Zulu would write a song about lions sleeping in jungles.

Pachelbel. The OG one-hit wonder.

Posting this for a specific audience here.

The Netflix documentary on the $200k Lego drama is going to be wild. Like I'm straight up willing to bet huge amounts of money there are already a bunch of executives frothing at the mouth in a boardroom somewhere, trying to figure how to make it happen without getting sued themselves...

This is Ryker. It's impossible to be sure, but we think she might want some breakfast. 12/10 (TT: rykertheiggy)

“The Cloud now has a greater carbon footprint than the airline industry. A single data center can consume the equivalent electricity of 50,000 homes. At 200 terawatt hours annually, data centers collectively devour more energy than some nation-states.” — @boriscrito.bsky.social

Fucking prophetic line

'Accept cookies/confirm choices'. If you don't offer a 'reject/decline all' option from the outset, I'm not going through pages & pages of your 300 vendors selecting & deselecting as appropriate. Nor am I just going to agree to all out of resigned apathy. I simply don't use your site/app. Fuck off.
