For years, official maps showing the global launch times for new video games have left Africa blank I wrote about those maps in today's Game File. Credit to @tauriq.bsky.social's thread from 2023 that got this on my radar. And to @nyamakop.co.za for the joke www.gamefile.news/p/relooted-l...

Play Ladykiller in a Bind. Tell Discord that you're playing Ladykiller in a Bind. Tell your friends that you're playing Ladykiller in a Bind. Start a Ladykiller in a Bind book club. Let Discord use fuzzy analytics to determine that you must be an adult because your book club is too busy to ever meet

why do they call it a dom's sub when you sub the dom hot out eat the sub

Why is nobody asking if “severe” rain is over diagnosed when it is part of natural weather variation? Instead of flood warnings, people should be helped to find dignity through labour with a compassionate approach to getting those in a temporarily submerged lifestyle back into the workforce.

WORLDWIDE release times for Relooted’s launch tomorrow!

Relooted is not only a neat puzzle game with grand heists and a charming cast, but also a challenge to who owns and tells African history. Plus, it's one of the few games to capture Africa's diversity well, pulling artifacts from all across the continent. My review: www.avclub.com/relooted-gam...

Oh, we're all off Discord now. I use Witchhazel now. Lindworm doesn't let you stream your screen. Paprika is actually a foreign surveillance app. Dude, send me your Dingo. I can't sign up for Jester Plus. I don't like the UI for Cabinet's mobile app. Just toss me your Spork. We're on Spork now.

illegal chipzel strikes again

spare a thought for the freaks and weirdos in this trying time (tumblr dot com is down)

Resisting the might-makes-right order, in solidarity with the peoples of Palestine, Venezuela, Cuba and Greenland. Boycott, divest from, or exclude from contracts these complicit US companies.

(Dude suddenly stops pushing his broom across the floor of the Death Star) Does this look like a big laser to anyone else

it's,,, fuckin,,,,,,,,,,,

Makes me feel insane to live in a world that's persecuting trans folk while simultaneously doing big billboards advertising gender affirming care to cis people???

Ahead of time, you first have to turn on full encryption on your devices, it’s not that cumbersome—a good guide here:

A game I worked on is coming out really soon. Made in Africa. Please check it out 😭😭😭😭

We'll be publishing our full report from the hearing tomorrow afternoon (UK time), but needless to say, there's an awful lot of additional context to understand about what happened here. This is a really tough outcome for the union's members, especially those who were in the UK on work visas.

make-a the video game-a 🤌

I don't think writers should have to justify their sex scenes, but this is such a great explanation of the significance and consideration they can carry

The Free Speech Union commissioned a "security" report on us, so we tested their security. Turns out - it sucks. We've now published the names of everyone who has donated to a FSU fundraiser, along with how much they gave and to which campaign. www.transbashback.com/fsu.html xoxo BASH BACK

Thank you by the way to everyone who always inquires how Kara is doing. She and I managed to successfully get a video call working on TruLinks today. A little Christmas miracle. 🎄💚 Reminder that you can always send her a letter and it's always appreciated... (1/2)

youtu.be/ahcvx1L1oBo?... I’m so proud of how this video came out, it would mean a lot if you watch it!

Double entendre title of the week. This book is from 2005 and appears to be from a UK or HK publisher but I really think someone should have told them.

Made some nesting wooden owls!

forget Blues Brothers, I'm all about the Blues Father

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct. That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9nO...

The Rockstar union case made its way into UK Parliament earlier today

WE CAN STILL WIN! yellat.money

Solidarity with Sean. This is what we mean when we say people are going to have to get comfortable with moral actions that are outside the law

This is fantastic

In our article: From allies inside of Tavistock: “Gender criticals claim they have been silenced, but they have been platformed in media and given words in articles, and space in interviews,” whatthetrans.com/trans-allies...

sorry guys i accidentally deleted the spreadsheet with the first drafts of homophobic potato chip brands and it turns out it was somehow load bearing to the entire driving system and the only guy who knows how to fix it got fired in the union busting so

it's not that england is total shit it's just kinda shit and really really expensive

November 8th marks Intersex Day of Remembrance. Intersex Day of Remembrance is a day to remember those who are no longer with us and highlight issues that the Intersex community face. We stand in solidarity with our Intersex siblings, team members and supporters! #IntersexDayOfRemembrance

The options for trans healthcare are: - Wait 3 lifetimes - Pay tens of thousands of pounds - Find and pay for increasingly hard-to-access DIY - Never get it at all Do they expect gratitude? Or just for us to suffer in silence? We will respond in turn, with nothing but rage. xoxo BASH BACK

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting. now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

This is the most ruthless act of union busting in the history of the UK games industry. Yesterday, @rockstargames.com unfairly fired over 30 employees for union activity. We won't back down, and we're not scared - we will fight for every member to be reinstated.
