This might be one of the most insane scandals in game history When Pokemon Go players scan PokeStops, theyve been unknowingly building a detailed visual model of the world which is being sold to a military contractor to build a no-GPS positioning for the new generation of unmanned killing machines

Reminds me of the time my game was nominated at the IGF and US rejected my visa GDC and IGF organizers (Brandon Boyer) didn't give a shit about it

Today is the last day of Dreams on a Pillow's main campaign. Despite Israel massacring people in several countries including Palestine - here's a courageous Palestinian-made game about where it all started -about the 1948 Nakba- and on how things were before it. www.launchgood.com/v4/campaign/...

Last two days to help fund the development of Dreams on a Pillow! Unlike Kickstarter, developers receive all contributions even if the goal isn’t reached, and LaunchGood takes 0% in commissions. www.launchgood.com/v4/campaign/... Please RT and most importantly support the project if you can 🙏

Part of my life in a stolen land.

TIL im only allowed to be angry at Hitler not the millions of Germans who enabled him

I’m super excited to see what my American game dev friends have been making, while American bombs did this to my neighbourhood

More villages in South Lebanon being detonated by Israel. Israel is the one sharing these videos. They are proud of their war crimes.

I hope everyone here is aware that we are not exaggerating when we say the American government is a terrorist organization

Yes, Thom Sharpe - genocide, political assassinations, exploding pagers, apartheid, invasions, bombing of nuclear facilities was fine, and the US cosplaying One Piece Marines was fine - brown people looking to get reparations for decades of illegal aggression is where international law dies.

“A whole civilization will die tonight” is the most vile thing a US president has ever said, certainly during the post-1945 era when they’ve had the power to kill civilizations with the dropping of a bomb. I’m staring into the darkness. May this not be one of the most fateful days in human history.

History will note that Israel was allowed by the West to murder who they want in a genocide, illegal invasion, an apartheid ethnostate - and the only demand the West made in this context is that the victims and opposition not say anything even vaguely negative about Israel.

People in Nepal set their parliament on fire along with the residences of many prominent politicians, so within the realm of the law just means other foreign people are going to die for your continued comfort.

Rami please stop distracting Brandon. He just wants to make art. Let the brown people die and please don't make too much noise about it. Brandon has done everything he could do and now he just wants to focus on his art

There is an entire universe outside the realm of law. It’s where America started. And they didn’t have the same power as the crown did, either. We are past the point of fighting within the laws we are fighting against them. Or you just give up. That’s the choice history has laid at our feet.

Almost every moderate anti-US person I know has shifted from "well, we are getting murdered by the US government but we hope the US population will do better in the future" to "the US population will just let their government murder us, why should we afford them any grace or kindness"

the American terrorist regime is activley trying to murder us and destroy everything we have. Please do anything you can to stop them

nice! now they are calling for the mass starvation and murder of the poorest Iranians

"international law must be followed" is european for "thoughts and prayers"

I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war

To think, all this just because white people couldn't stay itheir asses in England.

Too many white male game devs obsessed with making games about pushing boxes

when *other people* don't care about marketability, they're stupid when *jonathan blow* doesn't care about marketability, he's being an alpha male

Tim Sweeney continues to be the dumbest techbro alive, which is quite a competitive market

Yesterday, the Epic Games Store decided at the last minute not to distribute the game, after having previously approved a release build. HORSES is otherwise now available on GOG, Itch, and Humble for $4.99. www.horses.wtf

SIGN OUR BOYCOTT XBOX PLEDGE: We are asking gamers, game workers, streamers & journalists to join us in boycotting & divesting from Xbox, to force Microsoft to end its complicity in the genocide of Palestinians. We’ve provided concrete actions everyone can take. Sign here: nogamesforgenocide.com

Israel would like you to know that the Pope is Hamas www.irishtimes.com/world/middle...

Our upcoming game HORSES was preemptively banned from Steam, with no path to appeal. The game will still launch next week on December 2nd and will be available on EGS, GOG, Humble, and Itch for $4.99. Here is a detailed FAQ covering what happened: horses.wtf/BannedFromSt...

We were invited to screen Still Playing at Amiens Jail in France as part of the cultural activity They asked me to take off my Kufiya claming its religious symbol I explained it’s part of my culture worn by people regardless of their religion I refused to take it off & the screening was cancelled

If you don't live in France, it's hard to really grasp how deeply islamophobic and racist its institutions still are, to this day. They're happy to let you work for them or to consume your cultural goods, but they don't like it when you're *too* arab.

I'll just leave these here

When genocide is something you ignore, genocide is something you participate in.

Genocide is a crime you can participate in just by looking away.

They've lost the 9yos

It's announced! See you again on 6th December for the final act of Rhythm Doctor @rd.7thbe.at !! www.youtube.com/watch?v=q98t...

also on the subject of political violence

This Youtube short of Tandis got almost 5 million views. Apparently people like mathematical transformations www.youtube.com/shorts/F5189...

Saw this on reddit and it reminded me of @bahrami.bsky.social 's Tandis for some reason. 🙃

SANCTIONS OR SHUT UP

I think anyone who has any form of platform who is not saying anything about what happened in London yesterday is saying a great deal about the world they will accept m.youtube.com/watch?v=H0-V...

The damage western governments will do to their own democracies to defend genocide is astonishing www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/202...

I occasionally get "Rami you've radicalized, I don't like it" and yeah I hate it too but if you're saying this the problem really is that a literal 600 day genocide in our names with our tax money on our televisions from journalists being murdered as our politicians lie hasn't radicalized you enough

Apple is delisting Wheels of Aurelia from the App Store, because it's... "obsolete". Our statement:

Tim Sweeny Please Don't Embarrass Yourself challenge (impossible)

An illegally occupying army builds a concentration camp for every man, woman and child of an occupied land and decrees that those who will not be voluntarily interned in that camp will be ELIMINATED. Is there a more accurate definition of GENOCIDE?

happy to hear the destruction of our cities makes Peter Thiel wealthier

As GDC talk applications have opened, I want to politely remind you that GDC remains one of the most inaccessible, unfairly expensive, and dangerous for-profit game industry events out there - and that offering your labour for free to it just adds value that pressures people into going needlessly.
