Every day, exhausted indie devs are forced to do marketing, just to survive. But you can make a difference. Credit cards at the ready people, this is not a drill!

Starting October off strong with Cregger's Resident Evil in the cinema. FUN. And embracing the spirit of video game tropes, with just the right amount of tongue in cheek.

“Girlfriend goes to different school, will definitely be at party.”

Plan a horrorfest using only your first name Suspiria (77) Orphanage (The) Psycho Hereditary It follows Evil Dead

The tech reporting we deserve.

Right now the world is full of people who want to code and write and paint and film stuff and people who want to play and read and look at and watch stuff and nobody is allowed to do any of that because some unrelated third guy isn't making enough money off the deal

Well, I've been affected by the Bungie layoffs, and I guess I'm now looking for work. I'm a senior narrative designer on Destiny 2. I'm going to thread a little list of stuff I've done on the game; normally I go out of my way to avoid attention, but today I'd appreciate reposts.

You've been good this year - you deserve some books! And local bookshops deserve our support over the bald billionaire's behemoth.

Everyone should read this book! Otherwise you might get taken in by the Space Fantasists. Who have a compelling vision to trash our habitable planet, then blast off to be Emperor of some barren rock and a colony of their most dedicated boot lickers. And it has pictures!

Every so often, I'm proud to be British. Can just imagine the glee in The Sun offices when they came up with this headline.

Well, me now, obviously.

"They call it “Blood Sacrifice Friday.” The name isn’t catchy, but the event becomes a management favorite nonetheless." 🤣

Elon Musk becoming the world's first trillionaire is beyond sickening. He's a mass murdering tyrant and simultaneously one of the most pathetic and embarrassing people alive. He's literally hoarding all the resources and making all our lives worse, while spending all his time bashing the poor

This is a source request. I need to speak to a high-end accountant, somebody with experience with large companies. I have a very specific question - ezitron.76 on Signal.

Exactly

Had to wait for it to get dark outside before putting on the latest ep of Widow's Bay. Just feels wrong watching it in daylight!

Thank you to all the very cool people giving me hope for the world today. The arseholes aren't the majority, they're just loud. We can be louder.

Very jealous of anyone in Toronto who can attend this!

This is the ideal male body. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like

Trying to think of dated references that confused (therefore, educated) me as a (pre)teen: - Learned what the Falklands War was from The Diary of Adrian Mole - Thanks to Judy Blume, was (pleasantly) surprised to find that period protection no longer required loops and a belt What were yours?

Today's Daily Cartoon for @newyorker.com by Kevin Maher and me.

Nobody on tonight's episode of Jeopardy watches Food Network.

Seems people don't realize that if you're chatting to the AI, all the footage is going straight to Meta. (And underpaid workers in the global South are being forced to watch you poop.)

Thrilled to see the Greens triumph over the guys who saw the current state of the US and said, yeah baby, gimme some of that. And it wouldn't be British politics if the top minor candidate wasn't named Oink A Lot.

If you need a giggle this morning!

Five women writers by whom I've read at least five books: Kate Atkinson Tana French Elly Griffiths @ellygriffiths.bsky.social Kate Summerscale Margaret Atwood @margaretatwood.bsky.social Now to overthink all the amazing writers I've overlooked, or who came in just under the threshold...

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

This is a great listen. I'm unendingly fascinated by grifters - though, arguably, the industries that enable them are most deserving of scrutiny. But, I actually came here to laugh/cry at the algo now recommending me Raynor Winn's latest audiobook 😂 open.spotify.com/episode/1OU1...

New world speed record: screenwriters everywhere running to their laptops. #scriptsky

People look at me like I need a tin foil hat when I say I'd never get a Ring cam, but seriously. Stop paying your own money to install surveillance tech on your private property. Or your own body, for that matter. This was always going to happen.

Fictional villains: Society has failed me and now the only way I can save those I love is to break the law. I'm not a monster, but I'll break you to protect those I care about. Real world villains: I now call this meeting of We Love Sex Crimes to order.

I wrote much less this year than I've written in the past five, so there's not a whole lot to revisit. This piece, though, I still think is probably the best article I've ever written, even if it was a dumb professional move to write it [free to read] www.patreon.com/posts/empero...

Me: “When I eat Alphabet Soup, I only eat the vowels.” Coworker: “Why?” Me: “Sometimes.”

Could we maybe just agree that the system that creates these horrible humans (and often lets them be in charge of things) is broken? Not saying I have the perfect solution, but MORE OF THE SAME + EXTRA RACISM doesn't seem like a winner.

It's been over a month since we launched The Séance of Blake Manor & we have been blown away by the reception we have had from press & players alike. In our latest devlog we look at what an incredible few weeks it has been: store.steampowered.com/news/app/139...
