Love has never needed permission from labels 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 My emptiness of gender lets me see that clearly. Anxiety tightens around transgender lives right now. Why must their chosen bonds still pass through someone else’s gate? Why is the soul they claim treated as a request instead of a right?

British band Massive Attack have called being banned from Singapore a “surreal experience” after displaying a Palestinian flag during their show.

Massive Attack speak about ‘surreal experience’ of being banned from Singapore over Palestinian flag

British band say they are ‘proud to have made this impromptu expression with our fans in Singapore’, where open display of all foreign flags is banned

screenshots of the environment i've been building for one of the levels... did fog cards, local fog, lots of moss and grass... and trees :D it's supposed to look spooky. still lots to do on it tho. lol nature is so much harder than human made spaces (like rooms or cities) #GameDev

releasing an album!!!!!!!!!

Big Walk comes out TOMORROW, August 4. "But what time??" we hear you ask. Well! Let us tell you: • on Switch 2 and PS5: late morning-ish for your console region* • on PC and Mac: 6am PDT exactly (11pm AEST)

dude turn on the news. any channel

We've done a fun wee scavenger hunt for @murdermeetcute.com where a successful hunt could win you a free copy of the game. Watch the video for more info 🫣 🖲️

People may not know this but Doom became the big success because of sharing games, their advertising was to put the first couple levels into the hands of the players. Shareware is the way to play, so copy your games and give them away. Fuck Copyrights they exist now to prevent new business.

lol random video on youtube posted today with some great footage. first location is where I was on friday (and my mom was at the second spot yesterday actually). www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Zm2...

caves are good places to set video games, but maybe also to make video games???

868-BACK may have ruined me for all other games (for the feds, this is a statement by a fictional character in a video game)

“It’s worth understanding that our digital world is fundamentally democratic by design. Anyone has the power to learn, break, hack, and create tools that break predatory technology or tech trends. The only thing stopping anyone is knowledge that it’s possible.”

please enjoy my post featuring a bunch of tools to navigate the age of AI! 👉 because the machine must break (true empowerment in the age of AI tools) - www.nathalielawhead.com/candybox/bec... anti-AI tools, AI protection, and data pois*ning projects. there's so much! #SoloDev #IndieDev #IndieWeb

What a cool round up! (yes I'm in it, no that's not why it's cool). I really like the categorisation used here, a very fun way of thinking through games

Maggie 🇵🇸@magathachristie.bsky.social · 3d ago

I wrote a blog post about 10 solo games that caught my eye among the many wonderful submissions for this year's @onepagerpgjam.bsky.social. (I'm always looking for new solo games!!) I made up my own criteria to help me explain what I like: Feast, Flow, and Fascination. maggie.ink/ttrpg-design...

Just to be clear on this article, the position I took isn't "developers need to be more brave" but "funding needs to be more brave". Developers make all the cool stuff, just because they want to - the funding side hits it with market research and fear and growth targets and shareholders.

GamesRadar+@gamesradarplus.bsky.social · 2w ago

We need games like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Balatro, and Peak as a cure for the "fear" in the industry, say experts www.gamesradar.com/games/we-nee...

The TOS being so strict that they control you offsite is the problem; sites like Patreon and Kofi have offsite clauses too. The social criminalization of the suggestion that somewhere you might be doing nsfw is a problem. It's branding a person as obscene and we need consumers to stand up for us

Sam Cole@samleecole.bsky.social · 5d ago

a bunch of popular ASMR artists lost their channels forever this week, after YouTube cited them for violating terms against "sexually gratifying" content: www.404media.co/youtube-asmr...

The HSE are doing a survey for trans people accessing trans healthcare and general healthcare in Ireland. If you're trans it's worth filling out. gcn.ie/hse-survey-s...

I would 100% put something like this on my game's Steam page in the awards section.

Qwarq@qwarq.io · 4d ago

we should bring back personal awards like we used to give for our friends websites back in the day. i'll photoshop my favorite characters onto a 300x200 jpeg at negative quality that says "Qwarq's Awesome Bsky Profile Award" and send it to the winners

www.fanatical.com/en/pick-and-... Axyz is part of a Fanatical bundle, meaning you can pick it up for a disgustingly cheap price alongside a bunch of other games.

Remembering the amazing Glen Hansard 💚 And ofcourse Apollo House. We need to make that happen again as nothing has changed. Well not for the better anyway. We still have homeless people dying on our streets. Much tanks to decades of FF/FG governments. youtu.be/dGfRxhc93a4?...

Went for a walk. Brighton is gearing up for pride and the amount of trans flags in particular is cheering to me.

Would you like a chapter book about an autistic girl (Maud) by an autistic author (me)? www.vivianeschwarz.co.uk/books/maud-i...

I am Viv Schwarz, author, illustrator and interactive designer. Here's my illustration portfolio. My latest book is MAUD IS MOVING, a chapter book about an autistic girl discovering her new home and community! www.vivianeschwarz.co.uk/illustration...

A look behind #NonbinaryCodedGames & how it's made. It was because of this event that I saw representation of myself in games & a boost to meeting new friends in the gaming community, so thanks npckc & nomnomnami for putting this together & letting a little guy streamer like me take part in it!

kc 💀 play TRUE LOVE'S CURSE!@npckc.net · last wk.

🎮 new post: running a third-party steam event for the first time sharing some numbers & a timeline for nonbinary coded games! hopefully this info is helpful to other indie devs interested in running a steam sale event tnywndr.cafe/office/2026-...

started getting a little dusty in the room at one point playing this, when the ghost of James Connolly tells the main character generations aren't judged on their achievements but on what they strive to achieve. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Awdo...
