Are we really about to enter a world where the PlayStation store is a dynamically-priced digital-only monopoly and gifting is still impossible? From 2028 the only way to gift a game is to… buy someone a voucher and hope the amount covers the price they’re offered on their account?? Merry Christmas!

PSA: A heads up for those (kindly) supporting us with game purchases today: 1. Kiln and Keeper are getting permanent price changes soon! 2. All our games on Steam are getting international price adjustment reviews! 3. It's Psychonauts 2's birthday next week, which means a sale!

Sending love to Jason Arday's family and friends. He was subject of sustained and malicious media attacks which were no doubt more vicious because he was Black. We must now reflect on the impact of a trial by some of the media and online on someone under extreme pressure.

Daaaamn. “AI is the asbestos we're shovelling into the walls of our technological society. Our descendants will spend generations digging it out again, and the longer the bubble goes on without popping, the longer it will take to repair the damage." www.thenerve.news/p/cory-docto...

Cory Doctorow: The people who tell you ‘AI is changing everything’ are lying

You'd have to read to the thirteenth paragraph to discover the pull quote for the title was from Marcus Siding, a 23-year-old Swedish man living in Sweden that wanted to become a cop, but his ADHD diagnosis at the age of 12 barred him by law from becoming a Swedish cop Seems relevant

Only just found out about this For the record, you don't get multiple genetic markers and one of the most effective medications known to science with 'social constructs' Channel 4, this is, in scientific parlance, an absolute fu*king disgrace that will genuinely endanger lives #c4 #ADHD

New Channel 4 documentary, The Great ADHD Myth?, seeks to determine whether ADHD is a genuine neurodevelopmental disorder, or a social construct

Blue Bottle Games, as a policy, does not use generative AI. It's something we've discussed as a team, weighing the pros and cons, and ultimately, we decided it was not for us. Recently, while chatting with a colleague, she mentioned it was useful hearing our reasoning. So: Sharing time! 1/12

So to be able to pay people just for their time, with no publisher, no marketing, and no profit, you have to be in the top 1.5% of indies. There is a reason that Silksong was made by a bunch of people who already won the games lottery and were millionaires, and Clair Obscur was made by a rich boy.

Amnesty International has expressed its 'regret' over a report naming dozens of gender-critical campaign groups as 'anti-rights' organisations

The line has never been clearer regarding JK Rowling imo. No more “I don’t agree with her views, but…” She is explicitly wielding her cultural capital AND her actual capital to dehumanize and take rights away from trans people. Giving her IP any air means contributing to this goal.

After weeks of illness I finally had enough energy to crack open the iPad and paint a portrait. Skills are feeling a little rusty so I thought I'd do a study of Bear from Obsession. Best movie of the year so far. 10/10 🙀 🥪

A digital painting of Michael Johnston as Bear in the movie Obsession. He is a white man in his thirties with short dark hair and a beige jumper, looking intensely past the camera.
