Following @aspyr.com using French VO-actress Françoise Cadol's voice without permission for #TombRaider remastered patch, please sign and share to protect VO actors' livelihoods! We, as fans, demand an apology for all those involved and immediate removal of AI. #BoycottAI chng.it/mpPwJxXYzm

We love @tombraider.com because of the contributions made by great artists. Using AI to replace their labour, or replicate it without their consent, is unacceptable. Tomb Raider will not be around for another 30 years if this is the new standard. #noAIinTR

🗣️Françoise Cadol, French voice of Lara Croft, was NOT asked to record any new voicelines & did NOT give her consent for any subsequent use of her voice, especially with AI. She only recently found out about the remasters. Thanks to OFP members @hedteur.bsky.social & @ssiguss.bsky.social! #TombRaider

GenAI used in this way: Not cool. Not classy.

SERIOUSLY @tombraider.com @aspyr.com @sabergames.bsky.social? In French, the “restored lines” added with Patch 2 in Tomb Raider IV-V-VI Remastered were created using AI by stealing the voice of Françoise Cadol, Lara Croft's French voice, who is totally against this practice! 1/2

A stunning figure from the Switch 2's launch: Some 500,000 Switch 2 Pro Controllers sold in the U.S. in June. Nearly 1 in 3 Switch 2 owners got one. They sold for $85, after a post-tariff-announcement hike from the original $80 announced price www.gamefile.news/p/even-85-sw...

Latest from me, and I hate to report this, but the Front Mission 3 remake seems to have fed all the 2D images into AI. It looks genuinely terrible, and butchers the visual identity of the original.

The remake of Front Mission 3 is out this week, and the in-universe 'Network' news graphics & photographs have been awkwardly recreated for the re-release, leading to confusing imagery and other nonsense. See for yourself: www.rpgsite.net/news/17799-y...

Nintendo Switch 2 set a new all-time launch week unit sales record for video game hardware in the US, with over 1.1 million units sold during the week ending June 7, 2025 (excludes sales from the My Nintendo Store). The record was previously held by PlayStation 4.

I still think about the Andor episode where: 1. Tay Kolma tells Mon Mothma that he wants more money to keep working for the rebellion. 2. Mon tells Luthen as much & he says that Tay has become a threat that must be eliminated. 3. Cinta takes Tay away to kill him. Here's the remarkable thing ...

You can add external links to Bluesky posts without penalty. Just saying. GM

We’re having ongoing conversations with engineers & lawyers and we hope to have more updates to share on this shortly!

For example, this might look like a setting that allows Bluesky users to specify whether they consent to outside developers using their content in AI training datasets Bluesky won’t be able to enforce this consent outside of our systems. It will be up to outside developers to respect these settings

Bluesky is an open and public social network, much like websites on the Internet itself. Websites can specify whether they consent to outside companies crawling their data with a robots.txt file, and we’re investigating a similar practice here.

We recently shared Bluesky’s stance on user data and AI training, which has not changed. Bluesky will not train generative AI on user data. bsky.app/profile/bsky...

Brief update on our ongoing efforts to allow users to specify consent (or not) for AI training: 🧵

1/ With more users joining Bluesky, we know how important it is to identify which accounts are real. Users deserve confidence that the accounts they interact with are authentic. Sharing some details about our impersonation policy 🧵

We could go on about how we welcome publishers, we don't demote links, we encourage independent developers to build apps and extensions on top of Bluesky's network.... but instead, we'll show you. All thanks to the incredible community here! 🦋

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪

BLUESKY MEGA-THREAD Altmetric is thrilled and also LITERALLY RELIEVED to officially announce: We are now tracking research attention as it happens on Bluesky! We have been picking up posts on the site since late Oct. Our team is on Bluesky all day answering questions. Let's get into it!

Took a little while, but finally finished migration. Deleted all tweets/replies/likes (after moving most of them here), unfollowed all & protected the account. I'll login occasionally to keep the handle and post the odd link to Bluesky to keep it from going dormant. Later, X. #bye

My missus got me a Mononoke journal as a 'well done' present for shipping Mythwrecked. She said it's to be used on my next indie game 💙

I think Xbox putting games on PlayStation is fine, but they need to keep at least some timed exclusives. Wilfully diluting Xbox from the conversation when it does get really good games is self destructive. Sony's play is to take Xbox's market share. Idk why Microsoft would help achieve that.

Happy Indiana Jones and the Great Circle day!! It’s a full circle (ehh??!) moment for me - 1st deal I led from start to finish 5 yrs ago when I joined. Really enjoyed the reviews, but none more than this Variety one that confirms I am, in fact, friends w/Todd Howard 😂 variety.com/2024/gaming/...

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is my favorite game of 2024 and I'm absolutely shocked by this. The Forgotten City with Machine Games storytelling. Sometimes Dishonored, often Hitman. But really, a whole new blend of first person experience.

📢 EEEP!!! MYTHWRECKED is OUT NOW After *3 years* my next indie game (following Röki) is OUT NOW on Steam, Xbox and Nintendo Switch... 🏝️ Explore a secret island ⚡️ Meet the gods of legend 🔎 Uncover the truth, behind the myth

INDIANA JONES AND THE GREAT CIRCLE is FANTASTIC. 9/10, pulverizing fascists with wooden spoons is somehow just as satisfying as it is with Wolfenstein's sci-fi shotguns. Maximum adventure in an authentic Indiana experience: www.windowscentral.com/gaming/xbox/... #Xbox #IndianaJones

I think Indiana Jones might be my game of the year. It’s Hitman meets Dishonored and I am having an absolute blast. Kudos MachineGames, you’ve knocked it out of the park
