I think it's obvious at this point (and the recent EA deal underscores this) that what now drives venture capital acquisitions is looking at the employee balance sheet. If a company has lots of highly-paid employees, buy it, then do layoffs. Juice stock price with the "savings," then bankrupt. +
The democratic establishment working big time to make it look like only white people with degrees are leftists. As if Bayard Rustin, James Baldwin, Huey P. Newton, Jesús Colón or José Carlos Mariátegui didn't exist. Much of socialist activism In the US was built in and through our communities.

Sunsets are so pretty, but whatever you do, DON’T look directly at the sun!! Be safe: look at paintings of the sun instead. I am posting these for your personal eye health. You’re welcome!
United Farm Workers@ufw.bsky.social · 2d agoYesterday's temperature topped 105° in Fresno. "Carlos" and team were working in the watermelons. "Our team is paid piece rate. The more boxes we fill the more we make. The person closest to the truck has the hardest job so we switch off. This is exhausting work." #WeFeedYou
Can we please get rid of this term. Slop now refers strictly to AI garbage.

Big Walk is my favorite game of the year so far. It’s like playing a multiplayer modern-day Zelda — there are so many cool things to discover and figure out! — and it's a joy to experience it all with a friend. My review (though I haven't quite beaten it): www.theverge.com/games/973166...
Big Walk is like co-op Breath of the Wild
Walk, talk, and explore.

I think anyone would love Big Walk, but playing it with my kids and watching them work together the way this game demands was truly something special for me.

To review Big Walk, a terrific multiplayer game all about testing your communication skills, my walkmates and I wrote a co-authored diary chronicling our playthrough from three perspectives. Hopefully it gets across what makes this thing so special. Our review. www.polygon.com/big-walk-rev...
2026’s best multiplayer game, properly reviewed by multiple players
This is Big Walk – it's big... but no simple walk

Rebekah Valentine@duckvalentine.bsky.social · 2d agothis is the best video game experience i've had all year. i love big walk. ask me about big walk. kotaku.com/big-walk-the...
whoa. this is actually an interesting artifact about game development from the early 90s. check it out.
Do you know that 28 years ago D.C. Fontana wrote an immersive Star Trek game and the entire Original Series cast got together for the last time to record the massive amounts of dialogue? And they were directed by John Meredyth Lucas? And Interplay has just been sitting on it this entire time?
AI is robbing you of the opportunity to make this instead
Davis Bickford@davis.social · 5d agoThe next time you consider making a flier with AI, please also consider that the most intriguing ad I’ve seen this week is a garage sale sign made of particle board with spray painted writing that reads, “GOOD SHIT —>”
This is a dope feature, but as a reminder, you probably don't want to share your words, as you're just telling everyone the year you were born, which has data security implications.

looking through the portion of my old shitposts that got some unexpected traction back in the day and seeing this one again weirdly filled me with joy
Recently asked myself the same question, got some leads but no solid answer There is a starter pack with game narrative writers go.bsky.app/FwZqzcz Also had some success commissioning people on fiverr (free-lance website) for non-gamedev related work, but there are also game writers on there
At this point you cannot convince me that these AI psychos aren't purposely forcing this shit into everything to fry people's brains beyond any recovery
Joseph Cox@josephcox.bsky.social · 5d agoNew from 404 Media: Google Earth has introduced an AI feature that lets anyone fabricate completely bullshit satellite images. In our own tests, we added a “bomb blast and crater” to an area of Los Angeles. This is a misinformation time bomb, will 100% be abused www.404media.co/google-earth...

imagine getting dunked on by Playboy for being weird about women’s bodies
Playboy@playboy.com · 6d agoWhat are the incel men up to over on X? Focussing on a quirk of women’s bodies most of us have never even thought about before now. Our take?
