You can pay for this with a credit card, but don't dare think of commissioning art of consenting adults having fun sexually, credit card companies (and PayPal) will de-bank you. Our systems are so screwed up. :/

Doors! The unholy intersection between two terrible cost sinks in video games. On the one hand, a model has to touch a different model and somehow manipulate it to open. It probably needs to swing in a direction. Does the character model move back with the swing? Move forward? Does the doorknob..
Buy Mass Effect The Board Game!@ithayla.bsky.social · 9mo agoI once watched a one hour video given by a developer who'd worked at the video game company for 15 years. the video was about how he and his team took over a year to solve how the doors worked in their game.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

Does my Speak-n-Spell feel pain when I type O-U-C-H? The jury is out. Philosophers and neuroscientists say that's fucking stupid, but I called a guy from the Center for Pretending that Household Electronics Are Sentient and he said there's no way to know for sure.

I uhh.. tricked my brain into memorizing how it was laid out in Cradlebridge and then it didn't work as well elsewhere and then the quick travel didn't quite work anyway and so I stopped trying to use it. But I DID brute force a use out of the vampire highway

Nighthawks is OUT! When the sun sets, outcasts rise. Gather new friends, face old prejudices, and prepare to seize the night in Nighthawks, the vampire RPG where the secret is out... but the hunt continues. Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/1221950/... GOG: www.gog.com/en/game/nigh...
The AI apocalypse isn't a Skynet uprising that sends killer robots to destroy us all. It's making the Internet unusable. It's spreading lies. It's losing jobs. It's making people dumber. And it's not robots or AI that's responsible - it's billionaires & fascists & rapists. And it's happening now.
The "Adults Only" ranking has been removed from Nighthawks! Everything is set for launch on the 22nd! Phew. What a roller coaster. Thank you everyone for your amazing support while we got this sorted. If you weren't able to wishlist before, now you can! store.steampowered.com/app/1221950/...
If you're undecided about it, go wishlist it. If you haven't heard of it, go look for it explicitly. I'm enjoying my time with it and will write something about it when the time comes. Don't let Steam's shitty rating wall you out of making your own decision on this one
Dave Gilbert@wadjeteyegames.com · 4w agoWe are aware that Steam has classified Nighthawks as an adult game and has excluded it from searches (and delisted it entirely in certain countries). We are working on it. Valve is under the impression that this game is way sexier than it actually is.
Eye-wateringly stupid defence from Rowling’s team here - ‘She does not support legal actions aimed at harming transgender people.’ - Really? So that £70,000 towards the bathroom ban was by accident? The JKR Women’s Fund was made by an impersonator? At least have the spine to admit you want us dead

blizzard workers had to fight tooth and nail for years, but they finally did it: they secured a union contract not just for one team, but for all unionized units--warcraft, overwatch, diablo, and more
![“We really started mobilizing as one Blizzard unit in [the] last couple of months, and I think that really helped put the pressure on,” Paul Cox, senior game designer on World of Warcraft, told Aftermath.
"I feel like the company dragged its feet and did a lot of posturing and wasting time until the very, very last moment."
Prior to spring of this year, the WoW team, which unionized in 2024, had gotten the lion's share of bargaining time. Other units found themselves stuck in the mud. Higher-ups were effectively stalling the whole process—unfortunately nothing new for unionized workers under Microsoft’s umbrella.
"For this whole year of bargaining on the Diablo side—and I imagine on the rest of the units as well—we received so few [bargaining] dates, but we kind of had the understanding that whatever WoW was able to win would at least influence and set the floor for the rest of our units,” Diablo senior environment artist Mahreen Fatima told Aftermath. “We adopted this messaging about how WoW's wins are our wins, so we should be out there mobilizing with them. But truly, I feel like the company dragged its feet and did a lot of posturing and wasting time until the very, very last moment this last month to finally be able to say, 'OK, yes, we are willing to extend this contract to everyone.' We really did not have any indication that we could get this done until last month."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5gdejlhcswjbzraadoltdpps/bafkreih6u6gzajbd63dovnmlnc43z5g6i35d3n735rrdkopipyjopkl72e)

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.
There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series
You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

Reading the numbers here for the first time I thought it was a standard measurement system I wasn't familiar with, not just literally millions in projected death tolls.
