Impossible for me to read this post and not draw a line from this DHS post (and Zeets' analysis of it) back to Barthes and mythology. (First text block from Zito's post, 3 from Myth Today)

I think the *real* question is how does this hobby of ours reach and inspire a new generation of people when PCs keep going up in price and the accessibility of a console is now out of reach? The class imbalance in gaming is egregious and its getting worse.
Will Borger@edgarallanbro.bsky.social · last mo.The real question now is, if consoles are just going to be walled garden PCs with inferior hardware and no disc drive, why would you ever buy one? Games run worse and cost more on consoles. Backwards compatibility is iffy. No mods. You pay the manufacturer to use your own internet. So... why?
hello videogame friends, you should read this.
Molleindustria FUTURE? NO THANKS! DEMO OUT@molleindustria.org · last mo.I posted my History of Games keynote: - A materialist reexamination of the canonical game crises from a developer's POV - Thoughts on the ongoing game industry restructuring - Indiepocalypse, AAApocalypse, deprofessionalization, games at the knitting stage www.molleindustria.org/HistoryOfGam...

A reminder with #SteamNextFest starting: You SHOULD install the extensions that pop up the AI Disclosure in Steam and ignore any game with it.
The social internet got turned into a giant dopamine farm by a handful of companies who literally hired the same psychologists who design casino floor layouts, and the policy-makers just threw up their hands and said "guess we better ban kids from using the internet then"
jenny tightpants@jtp.bsky.social · 2mo agosocial media that's bad for minors is obviously bad for adults too. crazy to me that the move seems to be to just accept that and ban minors rather than regulate the obvious design patterns that were put in there on purpose which make it harmful to its users
