ah yes im finally at the part of Look to Windward where it devolves into a dialogue of anonymous characters screaming silly "spaceship names" at each other for pages... the culture novels were a mistake
On the positive side, "Imprison EA execs" already polls at like +95 with gamers, so we have the Tribunals to look forward to
"saudi arabia owns EA" is going to be the headline you see basically everywhere for this one but "jared kushner is about to use EA as a vehicle for trump administration bribes" is equally relevant imo
![The firm is fully owned by Jared Kushner and has a staff of approximately 20 people.[2][5] By 2024, the firm had returned no profits to its investors.[6] The firm has been controversial due to conflicts of interests arising from Kushner soliciting funds from Middle Eastern governments while also working as an envoy having direct and indirect dealings with those governments in his role in the second Trump administration.[7] According to reporting by Bloomberg News, investors in the firm do so with the expectation of influencing the Trump administration.[8]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2jjromh55tf7pp7s4hsvurf4/bafkreihebdzjog2hp37o2q3enjyrsi46btqktev76ogpneczsrrzl55fo4)

#8BitKiller turns 18 today! After years of abandoned projects, this was my first full-length game to be published. At the time (2008), I didn’t know many people who were interested in classic-style games. Let alone the idea of mixing eras. I connected with the indie and retro scene after release.
Should we be worried that the only kind of desire implicitly permitted online is the desire to be thin (or muscularly dehydrated in a particular way for the dudes) and gambling?

SOS, folks who have made big games with ink, does anyone use a code editor? or something similar? inky is lovely but i feel myself hitting the edges of its functionality a little too much

maybe we don't need permission to be politically aligned against ai as an industry/hegemonic project regardless of our perspectives on it as useful or even important technologies or tools
it's okay to make a game with a double jump in it even if you consider yourself cis. you'll learn more about yourself
