I wrote a manifesto for making games, and (not) selling them, for #manifestojam illomens.itch.io/no-one-is-go...

Maybe you should *stop* obsessing about your own -- and other people's -- sexuality? Feels like it’s about time to do that. You’ve thought about this for *eight hours*?! Not only should you stop, you should tell Kim you've stopped obsessing about other people's sexuality too.

We've been hard at work trying to bring Necrofane to life. Help us bring this game to the finish line by supporting us on Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/nec...

I’m so tired of all these people who took their fucking money and are only now mad about it

After fighting game community member Ludovic Mbock was arrested by ICE, his family and friends have been working non-stop to bring him home aftermath.site/ice-ludovic-mb...

They’ll be hearing from his father

Here's our 25-min video news-documentary version of the story of Red Bull, the whistleblower who leaked me the secrets of a crypto scam compound while trapped as a forced laborer inside it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOcN... Hope you'll watch and consider the immense scale of this global crisis.

This wasn’t easy to share, but it mattered. Thanks to WIRED for documenting what I witnessed. It shows what’s happening behind online scam operations.

arcane roots are back and I might cry right here right now

Last year, a human trafficking victim trapped in a crypto scam compound in the Golden Triangle region of Laos contacted me. He then proceeded to leak to me a huge collection of the compound's internal materials. Then he had to get out alive. This is his story. 🧵👇 www.wired.com/story/he-lea...

With fear of sparking *that* discussion again, it can't be ignored that we're creating more code than we can reasonably review and feel confident in. The modern use of "software engineer" is an affront to actual engineering and the pursuit of quality. (from cvedb.github.io/years.html)

This is why those of us who live here keep telling you he cannot be our president. For every fun “anti-Trump post” there’s something like this.

Some people took down entire websites, changed mission statements and mandates or dropped entire projects at the start of this year But kept the job Kept the title and kept posting online telling other people what they can do to save the world But couldn’t even hold the line themselves.

I am 100% pro Larian doing whatever pervert shit it wants and I can’t wait for another game where you can like, fuck a squid or whatever, but it really does further drive home the two-tier system of enforcement on storefronts. Bg3 contains basically everything small games get banned for

One of the best things I've read about the AI bubble and how we should think about it from Cory Doctorow pluralistic.net/2025/12/05/p...

I play Pentiment while working and it makes my brain do the Bradley Cooper LIMITLESS thing, +10% total brain power for each separately licensed copy I watch concurrently.

really love Chris Wilson on his content creation arc, great video www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4RN...

cohost being gleefully eviscerated and now itch as well – single digit teams are going to make mistakes. they should receive feedback when they do, but treating them like faceless corporations will ensure that only the faceless corporations will stick around to provide these services.

An AI slop factory apparently tried to rewrite our article about AI not replacing workers en masse, but hit the paywall... so just summarised the paywall. If this is the robot that takes my job I'll be v embarrassed

Your honor, the WSJ said they were monogamous

This was Vin Scully's call of Henry Aaron's 715th home run. Tonight Major League Baseball cut off the first sentence, starting it with the "What a marvelous moment" part because they don't want to anger the white supremacists who run our country and of whom Rob Manfred is an ardent supporter.

iterating on CI pipelines is the closest thing to watching paint dry that exists in software

If you're a member of the Democratic gerontocracy, the chances of you catching a primary challenger just went up 1000%.

“Divorce Your MAGA husband”

This last week is a real demonstration of how capacious, yet flattened the word "violent" is in our political discourse. Political assassinations are obviously, clearly violent. But the same word has been used all week to describe protestors damaging objects--not people, objects.

I’ve never forgotten this picture from 2016 and how it completely reshaped my understanding of how the media covers protests.

Probably my favorite exchange with ChatGPT, for an article I'm writing disparaging ChatGPT and other generative AI.

One of the most important projects on the internet. Consider supporting Blacksky (and rsky!) if you have the resources to do so.

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes. We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

Hi Bluesky, could really use your help 🙏🙏 We just launched our latest game Starless Abyss - the exact week that Oblivion was shadow-dropped. Which has been *not fantastic* for our launch If anyone can spare a RT, that would be so, so helpful ❤️❤️ Find it here: store.steampowered.com/app/3167970/...

no! thank you 😊

Officially trying to build a studio for a publisher pitch. To that end, I'm looking for game devs who've been victims of layoffs or studio closures who'd be interested in signing on if it's greenlit and funding is secured. More info in the thread to follow, but here's the initial list:

The neat part about setting up a homelab is realizing you well and truly have no idea how computers work
