The myth is circulating again that it was more radical otg activists and assimilationist gays ("boots and suits") teaming up that was responsible for queer communities' gains late '60s on. The history doesn't back this up. What actually happened is more revealing. 🧵 Let's start with Stonewall...

Guys. GUYS. It's a *Shakespeare RPG*. What the heck is wrong with you!? This should be selling a bajillion copies!! Genuinely stunned to hear it sold poorly!

"Discipline in recruitment" or "we've fired everyone we could, and will be squeezing those who remain harder to make up the difference"

I love Chinese & Taiwanese Wuxia RPGs, not only for the cool martial arts setting but also for playing differently from Western & Japanese RPGs. I often get asked for recommendations. I had a big thread on Twitter, so here's a new one! Here's my favorites available in English (officially or not) 🧵

I will argue that Elon is insouciantly doing a good thing here. He is proving incontrovertibly that "AIs" can and will lie for the people who created them. He is exposing the human agency behind "AI," whose success depends on that human agency being hidden.

Buckle up because I'm going to say more shit that you don't like. The whole "has MeToo gone too far?" and the hysteria/moral panic over the potential for false rape allegations all boils down to terror of women being able to speak freely. It is absolute terror at the specter of equality.

Zork I, II, and III are now open source. Microsoft has released the classic Infocom text adventures under the MIT license! opensource.microsoft.com/blog/2025/11...

🐭PSA for no reason whatsoever: if you're ever talking about a trans person you knew before they became trans, their new name and pronouns retroactively get applied to back then too. it's very disrespectful to call them by their dead name, even if that's how you knew them back then

There is an extended version of it

We all knew it to be the case, but if you ever needed irrefutable proof that these clowns are just living out violent fantasies, here it is. Half surprised they don't have video of them quoting Schwarzenegger as they go ham.

It is now clear when Albo said "no-one left behind", he really meant: - the gambling industry - big media - fossil fuel lobby - for-profit childcare corporations - aged care companies - employment service providers - property developers... But Australians with the greatest needs? Yeah nah. #auspol

Got a fresh article on my site for everyone to read! New indie shmup BIRDCAGE is a polished game brimming with potential and I'm sure that in time it'll spread its wings and fly: kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com/2025/11/20/b...

My new favorite kind of meme is "here are detailed instructions on how to turn off AI". 🔨

My gods, this man is the saddest, most pitiful loser on the planet.

anything made in Godot 4 can do this, so you'll know that they're cowards. See:

Consumers will "not care" so much that they don't care to buy your games anymore.

With the passing of Rebecca Heineman today, I wanted to share some images from her last, now forever unfinished project. She was working on amazing stuff right up until the end. It was Dragon Wars remastered. Jennell Jaquays was art directing.

Smaller, passion-led projects created by talented people who care about their craft are still out there! Please don't give up. Support the internet and the creatives you want to see! 🧵

The Epstein files bill passed, but Speaker Johnson is circulating a plan to block transparency on "national security" grounds. Read the full document: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/epstein-bi...

From here until the end of the rest of his short ass life, the only response to Trump from this point forward should be, "quiet, piggy."

They're rapists. They're murderers. And some, I assume, are fine people.

One is a product of believing every Conspiracy Theory on Facebook, one is an amoral opportunist who will do anything for money and power, and one the kind of hate-gremlin produced in the muck of 4chan. These types can work together towards a single goal despite the disparity; we have to be prepared.

The Nightdive team is saddened by the loss of friend and industry legend, Rebecca Heineman. Her career spanned decades and impacted millions, with over 60 game credits to her name, including Baldur's Gate, Bard's Tale 3, and Killing Time: Resurrected. www.gofundme.com/f/help-rebec...

Ah, so THIS is how they're going to justify not releasing anything or redacting all the damning information.

"...those seeking true rebirth as a human will get a better result by considering the difference between what they need and what they can take." Hungry Ghosts is a fascinating game that turns even the simplest of tasks into a mind-twisting worry: kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com/2021/06/12/y...

Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino "also revered Starship Troopers, Robert Heinlein's 1959 military sci-fi classic about an interstellar war between humans and alien bugs - a book his sister says he still reads to this day."

Shabana Mahmood casually saying they're gonna take migrant's jewellery off them has got me thinking about that scene in Schindler's List where the Jewish family wrap family heirlooms in bread and swallow them. What the fuck are we?

Rest in peace, absolute titanic legend of the industry.

Search Engines in movies are so incredibly unrealistic - they're not wading through three pages of ads, SEO farming nonsense, and GenAI Slop to find one remotely useful page.

Won't people just let the corporate suits have *little* a industrial-scale creative theft machine? Just let them replace a few million skilled creative voices with the robot that spits out pre-digested Content Slurry made of the work all those artists did, without permission or compensation!

“You know, fair use is fair use and we need to make sure that we’re not stealing people’s intellectual property and rights but..." No! There is no "but" here! That statement ends with a period, not a "but".

Exactly one woman has won the Booker in the past six years www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Younger players prefer multiplayer because they only have virtual spaces as "hangout" areas. They're kinda trapped in a loop of exploitative online multiplayer games being the only way to socialise at all.

"I’m completely overwhelmed and having a wonderful time." Relics is a magical - maybe even essential - classic computer game experience: kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com/2025/11/17/r...

"Things mean stuff" is increasingly difficult to impress upon people when reality is overwhelmed by a sense that nothing means anything. We see the rich and powerful redefine crimes to protect themselves and attack their critics. Things mean whatever is most convenient for the powerful at any time.

There's been a lot of very sophisticated, compelling social commentary on declines in cultural literacy in recent years, but honestly it is very reasonable to just boil it down to "people no longer understand that things mean stuff"

"I am Spartacus" except everyone is admitting to felony sexual assault of a minor

We're witnessing an intentional culling of the lower class. Currently over 50% of consumer spending is done by the top 10% & companies are adjusting their products & pricing to cater solely to an audience with "fuck you" money w/o concern for who is getting priced out. Housing. Food. Everything.

Billionaires don't need more yachts, but an increase to the royalty rate on Steam would be life-changing for many small indie devs.

Antisemitism is a lot like Qanon child abuse conspiracies in that there’s this real and bad phenomenon and, parallel to that, what can only be described as a large scale mass psychosis about a mostly fictional version of the same phenomenon

-100's of games launch on Steam every week -There aren't enough writers to cover them -Pubs/devs don't always respond to emails from excited writers -Editors can't always afford to pay for reviews/features Please don't rush to blame writers/sites when something niche isn't covered. We're trying.

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

All essential services and utilities should be tax funded, the concept of private land/housing ownership abolished in favour of matching people with their needs, and no-strings universal income; I don't care if someone only wants to waste their life watching trash TV and drinking all day. Let 'em.

Shabana Mahmood has decided that her political future will be secured by being evil to refugees, just as Wes Streeting decided to be evil to trans kids. This is where the Labour Party is now.

Foundational figure in PC games. One of those load-bearing creatives where things would look very different for entire genres if she wasn’t around. Please help her out

KIRO 7 ran an article and two TV pieces on the theft of a box truck full of arcade PCBs, artwork, and machines from my workplace yesterday. If anyone in the Seattle area sees someone offloading a ton of CPS2/NAOMI/Neo Geo PCBs, stuff of that nature, please reach out. www.kiro7.com/news/local/g...

"one day, when it's safe, when there's no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it's too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this"

People would go wild if MS or lupus were airborne, but Covid is airborne, and it can reactivate EBV, which is linked to both. It’s biologically plausible that we’re seeing more MS- and lupus-related illness after widespread airborne viruses. So mask up 😷

Oh. This is great news for Hi-Fi Rush. 😬

The haunted domain of Transylvania in 1698, as seen in lovely in-game world map form in a re-translation and map romhack of Castlevania II: Simon's Quest. Also reworks the day/night cycle into being seamless and makes other technical improvements to the game. www.romhacking.net/hacks/1032/
