Black Ice explores how hostile systems radicalize people. You start hacking to get healthcare for your neighbor's 5-year old who was denied because cost of treatment exceeds her "lifetime earning potential". As you dig deeper, you keep finding more injustices. store.steampowered.com/app/311800/B...

If anyone has any recommended readings along these lines, I'm struggling with how to fit an impactful story within FPS pacing and an RPG open world. Especially as real life is speedrunning the game's dystopian backstory.

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854

If you're in these states, *TODAY* is deadline to register to vote. Arizona, Arkansas Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas. Even if you think you've registered: doesn't hurt to check! And there's a lot happening across them. A thread with stakes on each. ⬇️

But if we are all players now, most of us play to lose. The system is obviously and irredeemably rigged against us in a million small and large ways. The very platforms we use to compete are like casinos: the house always wins.

Think of the way that education, housing, dating, or fitness have all been recast as personal investments for future payoff. Everyone's got to hustle these days. Become an influencer; Become an entrepreneur; Flip houses; Invest in crypto; Snag a husband; Drive Uber; rent a room on AirBNB...

Over the summer my girlfriend moved in with her cat named Bug. The cat is developing a complex based on how many times I storm out of the office saying "I found another bug!" and "I have to fix this bug!"

I see the zelda discourse has wound around to "support indie games instead" so, good news, it's never been easier: a new game from the King of Dragon Pass dev came out literally today store.steampowered.com/app/3794210/...

I love working with artists to add graffiti to Black Ice. As we keep riffing on the design, we create stories about the fictional artist making the graffiti in the game and connecting their life into the larger story. Going to have some fantastic pieces from @sarkastiklover.bsky.social soon!

Hello! I'm looking to speak to a game developer/programmer with a strong understanding of asset streaming. How it works, how it can be applied, what it means for games etc. If you're that person, get in touch at rick@ricklane.co.uk. Shares appreciated.

Now that all appliances are digital, I somehow managed to glitch and softlock my oven. As if I needed another excuse to order a pizza.

To tell if a maze is solvable, just hang it by its corners If it tears into pieces, you’ve found a solution

30.000 wishlists is wild! Thanks y'all :)

We shouldn't discount the fact that at least part of the data center backlash (and by extension the broader techlash) is because people feel like the tech industry has not given them anything cool, inspiring, beautiful, or useful in a long time

Oooh, this looks good

I would hate for another Black Ice prophecy to come true but Quarkus, one of the 5 megacorps of the 2080s, was originally meant to be the laughably implausible byproduct of AWS absorbing Google and then being bought by Facebook.

Getting a lot of new followers from @marijamdid.com's Videogames & Politics starter pack. Hi, I make games like Black Ice about hackers helping people get healthcare and organize against oppressive megacorps. Plus its sequel about Jupiter's laborers on strike. store.steampowered.com/app/311800/B...

New @playerdotgg.bsky.social post about some of the highest rated games on Steam more people should play and talk about. From fire fights in your small intestine to stealing everything not nailed down as a racoon, these are some of the best games of the year. player.gg/curators/rob...

I know someone I follow has to have one of these

Console storefronts list a handful of genres, and Steam has about 450 tags—but I think interesting things start to happen when we expand that to about 5,000. For instance, there's currently no way to filter for GAMES WHERE NOTHING IS TRYING TO MURDER YOU...

"Indies will save us" No! YOU WILL SAVE INDIES! Go leave a review for that neat indie game you like, share the trailer for an upcoming game you're anticipating, tell your fave developer they did a good job, go tell people about such and such game that's just come out, you can make a difference!

In college, there was a Korean BBQ spot that sold beef and rice bowls from a window. They went out of business and I've spent 16 years trying to find that taste again, including a trip to South Korea. I still have no idea what that flavor was.

We made a game you HAVE to speedrun. #gamedev #indiegame
