in the midst of all those new games, I wanna take the time to shine a light on ✨ After the Wane ✨, by indie french studio @nova-box.com it's a narrative game with gorgeous 2D art that surely deserves your wishlist & more when it releases november 10 store.steampowered.com/app/2742720/...

(focusing your rage on those responsible instead of pining for a series that's long in the dirt might be more productive for you in the long run)

Hey! Tired of browsing AI slop on Steam Next and want to find cool games made by real people who are not trying to scam you? Plus: If you liked VAL'TY or other games. Consider leaving a review and a thumbs up on steam. Is a dev who doesn't use AI? Feel free to share your game in the replies.

New — I wrote about Vivek Ramaswamy’s weaponization of Amy Acton’s childhood sexual abuse and how it’s only the latest symptom of a Republican party flush with rape apologists, led by an adjudicated rapist:

"Looking back at past designs, there are some that were created merely by copying and pasting. Yet, such work rarely stands the test of time; it lacks the individual's particular design intention" 2/2 of legendary devs relating AI to following trends, which implies originality is the solution to AI

The Society of Authors has withdrawn from the ill-conceived concession to the dark side that was the "ethical GenAI" charter because of the mass and vocal outrage of authors. Publishers need to be made afraid of this level of anger too.

EA's closure of BioWare is transparently a vile move to shutter the studio that made by far their queerest titles. In the wake of this, I implore you: MAKE MORE QUEER ART. Make it trans. Make it horny. Make it scary. Make it loving. Make it with every inch of yourself. Flood the world with it!

ok, yes. i used a little blood magic to make this potion. but in my defense, it's hard NOT to use blood magic these days. all the tomes and orbs are powered by it. blood magic is really a systemic issue. in a way i'm a hero for admitting i use it

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

I feel like X button should do a sexy games podcast calendar because these guys are hot and we should objectify them and also I want to have a guest spot on the calendar, maybe for December and I can be a bald but abdominal Santa

Last I'll post about this, but Elon Musk disagrees with me. This means I am onto something, and I feel more valid in my opinion than ever.

I adore this era of editorial illustration😍

there is no reason to even use patreon's iphone app. just use it in your browser. it's completely fine. you only open it for a few minutes to look at a picture anyway if you're a patron. you do not need the app.
