Today, August 4, 2026, is the setting of Ray Bradbury’s short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” about a fully automated house continuing on after the family who lived there and the world around it died in a nuclear blast.

With the release of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, we thought now would be a good time to drop in on the original spider man: Anansi 🕷️📖 In Masque: A Trickster Tale, Anansi is a member of the Campfire Crew, trickster deities that help Kid and Masque at the start of their journey! #GameDev #IndieGame

A character spotlight for Anansi from Masque: A Trickster Tale. He is depicted as a black man with four arms, smiling broadly with his hair styled in long braids and a high bun. He wears a green and red patterned sash across his chest, a necklace made of large teeth, and a yellow and orange geometric belt around his waist. The body text reads, "Anansi is the spider trickster god of stories to the Akan people, including the Ashanti people of Ghana. In Masque: A Trickster Tale, he’ll give you a journal to track your progress!" The post advertises the DownstreamGames account on Bluesky, Tumblr, YouTube, and TikTok.

All error messages should be copyable. I'm so bored of having to transcribe some arcane error code just because some gobshite developer couldn't be arsed to find the setting to make their error messages appear as copyable text.

Hi everyone, today me and 22 others at Double Fine were hit by layoffs today. All the people who lost their jobs today care so much about the games they make and the people they work with. If anyone is looking for a tools SE with 7 years of experience and who brings baked goods on Mondays lmk.

everyone’s gut reaction is going back to physical games but all digital feels like an inevitability even if it should be 10 years from now the real solution is better digital rights you shouldn’t have to check in online with a game you own, even if it’s on a hard drive rather than a CD

Xbox says it’s aware of "major outages" leading to some players having problems signing in and launching games, and is "working to mitigate the issue". www.videogameschronicle.com/news/xbox-sa...

To make things worse, AI *can't do the jobs* it's replacing: AI is predicated on the premise that monopolies, duopolies and cartels that control the global economy can deliberately worsen their products without suffering economic or regulatory consequences, because they're the only game in town. 4/
