In response to the unprecedented number of game developers laid off this year, we have created a bundle on itch to benefit a Game Industry Hardship Fund, managed by @videogameworkers.bsky.social. More than 100 games for 10+ bucks! Please share widely and donate generously! itch.io/b/3802/game-...

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

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...

Absolutamente demencial

The way the history of pop was warped by boomer criticism/historiography into a hard dividing line between a supposed glop past and Elvis-and-everything-after with a rock focus was a massive reductive mistake that is still playing out.

Post your hottest music take. Mine is New Order is better than Joy Division.

Thanks to AI no one can buy hardware to play the games that can be developed faster thanks to AI

we need good, educated haters now more than ever

zero hashtags btw my indie game found you.

1000xRESIST is now firmly in the top slot for “games that have made me cry the most.” great videogame. it’s about so many different things and yet it all comes together so well, like a poem.

You can only fuck up from greed so often before you see it in the numbers

Mi crítica a The Incident at Galley House, el mejor juego de misterio de este año y del año pasado

"Podría hablar largo y tendido sobre The Incident at Galley House, siendo lo único que me detiene el no querer explicar más de la cuenta sobre su premisa y el misterio que lo rodea" Crítica a The Incident at Galley House - Por @paramonauta.bsky.social

"the graphics have caught up with our imagination" is intended as a compliment but is inadvertently damning of the whole project. Yeah, the imagination of Halo no longer exceeds a high-resolution tree. Cool.

This is what I mean. This guy should have all of his money forcefully, loudly & hostilely taken. He is robbing his fellow citizens of money & welfare in order to subvert democracy & subjugate them.

TikTok investor Jeff Yass avoided paying $1 billion in taxes while largely escaping public scrutiny. He then poured that money into campaigns to cut taxes and support election deniers. (Published 2022)

This is deeply emotional for us.🥹 Scarlet Deer Inn, our dark medieval folk tale with physical embroidery, is OUT NOW on Steam! Thank you so much to everyone who has supported us on this journey. ❤️ Steam: store.steampowered.com/app1553260

Voy actualizando las listas de "juegos fan-traducidos / por traducir" sobre la marcha, pero tal como está el panorama, he tenido que añadir un disclaimer avisando que no incluiré [MTL translations] (eliminando las que se han colado en el sistema). Anyway, si queréis echarle un vistazo:

I know that most of our digital tools are controlled by awful billionaires and it's almost impossible for us to divest ourselves of all of them. But I think that X and Substack are so horribly toxic that everyone should avoid them as much as possible.

Rebecca Solnit@rebeccasolnit.bsky.social · 3w ago

And as a commenter welcomes, guess who just welcomed Andrew Tate onboard? Yep, Substack.

A day later and we're somehow now at 738 reviews... This is honestly beyond my loftiest expectations (Crow Country was a hit so I was trying to be realistic/pessimistic and assume the universe would not allow me two hits in a row)

Adam Vian@sfbdim.bsky.social · 3w ago

In just a couple of days, The Mermaid Mask has already hit Overwhelmingly Positive on Steam! Thanks so much to anyone who played it and wrote a review

Meta are sending Fucko the Knife Robot to stab you in the knee. To disable go to Accounts> Settings> Robots> Knife Robots> Fucko> Opt Out

if you join a big company a dev cycle is now like 7 years which would be under 6 games for an average lifetime career. if you release a small games you can work faster but if you manage to get an elusive hit steam reviewers will riot if you dont do years of free updates and call the game dead

"we will persist" - is that what you say to people you fire after having them "mega crunch"? Rememeber, kids "we" means the shareholders. Never crunch.

No pensé que lo lograrían, pero que haya llegado España a la final era la única forma posible en la que no quiero que gane ninguno de los dos equipos.

man, fuck this. every time i walk past a store selling these cards it's just 25-40yo dudes in there buying everything, trying to hustle, because this is just the latest in a long line of speculative markets ruining stuff that used to be fun. last thing anyone needs is IGN promoting the behaviour.

A $990 golden nightmare, stunning vintage-style retro art, and iconic Kanto favorites. These are the most expensive Pokémon TCG Pitch Black cards you need to hunt for! https://bit.ly/3RHJYP8

When I try to talk about Epilepsy Accessibility in videogames, I've started to talk less about "how many more people can play your game" and more about how "this game can cause fatal harm to people if certain options aren't implemented, or even considered."

When I started Hatsune Miku Project Diva Megamix + it was hard for me to stomach the more cringeworthy bits of some of the videos and/or songs. I know that from the outside just the mere fact of likin...
