BAFTA pulling a trailer for an autobiographical game about surviving sexual assault only hours before it was said to be a part of a showcase is an exceptionally bad look.
how are we supposed to stop an elderly man with dementia who constantly shits himself and can barely string a sentence together? idk, one slippery flight of stairs? it's not like he's in a fucking battle mech
The City of Pittsburgh just passed legislation banning cooperation with ICE. The vote was unanimous. 🎉🎉🎉
![YOU: Hi my name is [name]. I’m calling from [ZIP CODE].
YOU: Today, President Trump said that “a whole civilization will die tonight” if Iran does not meet his deadline to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. That rhetoric is extreme, dangerous, and disqualifying.
FOR THOSE W/ DEM ELECTEDS: I’m asking [ELECTED OFFICIAL] to publicly condemn this rhetoric and use every available procedural tool to stop further escalation, including support for impeachment and urgent public pressure on congressional leadership.
FOR THOSE W/ GOP ELECTEDS: I’m asking [ELECTED OFFICIAL] to publicly condemn this rhetoric, press the administration and cabinet to treat this as disqualifying conduct.
YOU: Calling this what it is matters. Even if removal is difficult, elected officials should treat rhetoric like this as unfit and dangerous.
YOU: [OPTIONAL COMMENTS]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vdabazxnghujbebpi2ektqgi/bafkreid2yrnpgkxfzlosqmlbj44sksdbybjnq5lfeqcel7nshmduegudyy)
In all seriousness, one thing that might be worth doing today: Tell your Reps and Senators to call Adm. Richard Correll, the Commander of U.S. Strategic Command, which controls the nation's nukes, and remind him of *his* unique responsibility to refuse an illegal order.
"What can Democrats do?" When the South Korean president attempted to declare martial law, South Korean lawmakers literally fought through tanks and military forces and climbed fences to get into their Parliament building to stop him. So, you know, that.

I keep seeing "all authors use AI, the real issue is they're being forced to be sneaky about it" headlines. Full stop No. This is a lie peddled for normalization. It's schoolyard-level pressure tactics "C'mon, all the cool kids are already doing it. We won't tell. It's fine. We're on your side."
It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you. If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can. Everyone give this a share after.
I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there. I need you to listen to these people. STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.

TWENTY SEVEN VOTES. Remember that before you say “My vote doesn’t matter.”
Tressie McMillan Cottom@tressiemcphd.bsky.social · 5mo agoIt’s epic
Big fan of how detailed some of the move description are now, down to the % chance of effect happening and what sub-category the move is (sound, wind, slicing, etc). There's also now new "statuses" to describe certain effects like Landed, Sky-High, Destiny Bound, Minimized, etc. love them.

Hey everyone, we appreciate all the feedback on the recent beta patch! Since we have a lot of new players that weren’t around for StS1’s Early Access phase and players who are new to Early Access games in general, we wanted to explain our patching methodology a bit. (1/4)
Mega Crit - Slay the Spire 2 Out Now! ⚔️@megacrit.com · 5mo agoThe first BIG balance pass for Slay the Spire 2 is now out on the beta branch!! (Sorry infinite build lovers.) It also includes a Phobia Mode, lots of bug & crash fixes, and some cool new art and VFX! 💫 Patch notes: store.steampowered.com/news/app/286...
try as companies might to project an illusion of business as usual onto this year's gdc, the reality of the show was anything but. game developers are feeling the squeeze from the industry's uncertain future and a country in rapid, violent decline. the anxiety was palpable. the vibes were off
!["This year, what really took me aback was [questions during the panel about] ICE,” said Amaya. “'How is possibly being deported, even as a US citizen, affecting you?' Even our vice president, Diana Rodriguez, had recently traveled back from Japan with me, because we went on a fun trip, and at the airport she got stopped on her way in [to the US] because of her last name. Even the customs agent was like 'It's because you have a Latino last name.'"
"We brought it up at the panel, and other people started bringing in their experiences,” she added. “It's just so crazy to go from 'We're Latinos, and we love that. We're another diversity group that has its own feelings and thoughts' to 'Are we going to be fucking deported without legal and due process?'"
Not everyone made it to the panel—or GDC—unscathed.
"For the people that were attending from Latin America, a couple of them did have problems at the border,” said Amaya. “We had a couple of Panamanian devs who said that they got held for three or four hours, which is crazy because they're indie devs. What are they bringing? They were a little scarred by it, but they were trying very hard to be hopeful, because GDC is supposed to be this big place of opportunity, right?"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5gdejlhcswjbzraadoltdpps/bafkreigsun2mzdimypdsmrzstxbc7og57kdyq3m6fqldu5k7bcwmn5r77m)

There is a massive disconnect between the indie games community and the technoloy industry at large, Paul - the disconnect being that indies try to make games and a large part of the technology sector makes disposable startups to flip as much VC money as possible at the expense of everything.

If you are scared and angry and need to DO something (and you do need to do something) do this. Every day this week. Call your senators and say NO MORE MONEY FOR ICE. It may be uncomfortable for you, but it’s less uncomfortable than getting shot in the street. www.buzzfeed.com/jillianwilso...
