I think Bluesky is the least reliable website I've ever used

You know what's awesome? Headphones with a cable. You don't have to charge them! Like, ever!

Hey guys meta announced a new policy where they send a killer to get you so be sure to go to settings>my account > killer> disable killer to turn that off

What was that tweet about opting out of the killer? I can't find it because google is useless now

btw if you use twitch at all, not just as a streamer but also as a viewer/chatter, you should really really opt out of the ai shit they silently enabled not just for your privacy and all that but also to show the amazon higher ups that no one wants this www.twitch.tv/settings/sec...

Useful knowledge to have: you can easily go onto a Publisher's page on Steam, click the little gear icon, then hit ignore and never see anything from them ever again.

Some fresh positive news in fan translations. The GitHub makes it clear no LLM/AI involved at all from tools to the script.

I'm trembling while writing this: Kamaitachi no yoru—not the PC remake, not the iOS port, but the actual original SFC version—has been translated at last by ButThouMust, who graciously brought us an English patch for Otogirisou in the past. This is HISTORICAL.

this goes for just about any platform you could think of, patreon twitch whatever, please do not do give money to creators through a platform's phone app unless it is literally the absolute only way you can do so. you pay more, the person you're trying to support gets less, it sucks for everyone

Any of you using the ios version of Patreon to support me, switch to the browser version instead, cuz the apple fees have actually taken over 3000 usd from me in the course of a year

Unlocked! Belatedly, I look at Vampire Survivors, and lament that everything is gambling now, even when the only thing you're wasting is your time:

Vampire Survivors (poncle, 2022)

If there is a vampire here, it is one that drains us of our time, our life, our joy.

The Taco Bell finger pointing is a psyop to redirect attention from the real culprit, the deregulation and lack of oversight in our food supply

Had a dream that in order to change my password, Windows required me to solve five puzzles and then write an essay, all while David Letterman was watching over my shoulder and wisecracking

As the director of a historical video game preservation institution, and someone who has dedicated his entire adult life to this cause, this is accurate. We have attempted to work with the industry's trade organization to find a legal path forward, but they refuse to offer a meaningful alternative.

Chloe "Low Power Chlobot" Adams@addamschloe.bsky.social · 2mo ago

piracy is the only extant form of media preservation that exists in games right now, you might find it morally reprehensible but there is literally no other institution that will keep games alive in 25, 50 years' time

Microsoft this week: We're laying off half the industry. Sony: We're ending physical games. Nintendo: have u seen this splatoon weapon we call it the bloblobber

It's too bad Tim Sweeney went crazy. ZZT was pretty good.

for those keeping track of the ROMchip hat wars, current tally is: VIDEO GAMES: 22 VIDEOGAMES: 10

I swear there was a Star Wars commercial that said "who da man? Yoda da man" but the versions I can find on YouTube all say "Yoda man". Am I going crazy

Really, desperately need people to understand there's no fucking money for indie games either

we at xbox are coming to terms with the AI-fueled hardware crunch, which we helped create, failing to meet profit margins, that we made up, declining software sales, because we're self-cannibalizing our games specifically, and also everyone hates us which, believe it or not, also our fault
