does anyone wanna fund my indie game? it’s called Keep All Of My Colleagues Gainfully Employed. it’s an ARG where you keep all of my colleagues gainfully employed. we’re workshopping the name

Grew up with people who I thought were smart because they listened to podcasts/audiobooks at 1.5x speed or watched cerebral movies/shows while playing CoD at the same time and not only did they not absorb a single thing they consumed, you see their intelligence hits a hard stopping point at age 19.

36 days. Still marching. Albanians are done watching their coastline get sold off to Kushner money and their government answer with silence. Tirana's streets glow with flares, flamingo balloons, and one demand on repeat: Rama, resign. 🇦🇱🦩

1000 evaluators given identical resumes & told candidate used AI. Only difference on resumes was candidate’s name: Emily vs James. Study found women using AI are evaluated as less competent than men who use AI...To evaluators, women’s AI use signaled inability, while men’s AI use signaled initiative

"Norway is imposing a near ban on the use of generative AI tools by elementary school pupils while also restricting their ​use in the education of older children to prevent a ‌negative impact on learning" Sometimes, good policymaking is incredibly simple. www.reuters.com/technology/n...

Having my organs removed and preserved in my collection of Dunkin' Canopic Jars.

No notes.

One of the original art forms created by America is painfully blatant metaphors

new metaphor just dropped

"The work of governance means terraforming reality so that it more closely resembles its own incoherent fantasies—ghoulish AI regurgitations of postwar soda-shop bullshit; big white monuments & big white families; every cloying trope of midcentury advertising becoming real and instantly curdling."

you already know what's up (steam sale rec thread is what's up) as always, i focus primarily on older, obscure, and just plain weirder games, as big name titles don't need the help. with that said, onwards!

Please help me finish my thesis so I can finally be free of academia 🫶✨ aidetectionsurvey.carrd.co

We're fast approaching the point where 'downloading something and sharing it to keep it alive isn't piracy. It's all we've got left.' aftermath.site/video-game-pir...

It's difficult to quantify not just how stupid this is, but also how insulting it is, so instead I just wanna tag @sphynxian.bsky.social and say that it was art and writing like yours that made this game so important special and that Tim Sweeney has the creative juice of a can of bad tuna.

It is the dawn of a new era. Hear our battle anthem. Welcome to the new InfoWars.

I hast materialised in the Netherlands! First stop was to visit the pillar biters of St. Bavo's church in Haarlem, part of a much larger choir screen made in 1517. They supposedly represent hypocrisy, as the local proverb puts it: 'Who is a pillar-biter in church, shits devils in his own house'...

THE VATICAN IS CALLING IT A SCHISM I REPEAT HOUSTON, WE HAVE A SCHISM

22 years ago today I released Salad Fingers.

oh he on DRUGS drugs

I think the days are gone when "customer satisfaction" was important because that's long-term. The transition from regular old exploitative capitalism to modern exploitative hypercapitalism means that -what- the company makes doesn't matter. All the shareholder wants is to extract immediate value.

So AI is letting white people experience white supremacy for the first time ?

"And he does, indeed, go on." When I start a rant, there's really no stopping me, and apparently I ranted enough during my chat about AI with @woodwould.bsky.social that he was able to write an entire other article about it. 😅

It's 🤘THRASH IT OUT'S 100th EPISODE🤘 Brian and I close out Volume 7 with a journey back to the beginning, where it all began – with Black Sabbath's 1970 debut BLACK SABBATH. This is a special one: thrashitoutpodcast.com/episodes/7-15

Genuinely, I wonder if AI is the greatest scam ever pulled

Not fucking likely. Having a seat at that table doesn't mean a good goddam thing. How about you don't ally yourself with soulless oligarchs, and instead just ignore whatever they release, continuing to make movies the right way? gizmodo.com/a24-wants-yo...

The greatest insult is that AI plays a significant role in driving some of those animals to extinction, consuming natural resources and accelerating climate change. We lose the real animals while the vapid masses clap and cheer for their digital simulacra, further separating themselves from reality.

If you're young & considering games - I will tell you "don't". If you want to do games, do it with eyes wide open as to the shitshow you're getting into. Yet if you decide to go through with it despite everything, know you'll find me & others happy to support your art whichever small way we can.

Just when I thought I could not despise Hasbro more, this...

Damn, the Jiras are coming from high up now. Please have these approved with my producer first.

Our games industry is people. Our studios are people. Our teams people, our games by people for people. Our games are made by people, in groups of people, in teams of people, making people things for people. The magic is people, and the people deserve so much better than all this. I am so sorry.

Divine didn't eat dog poop so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."

Been working on this as part of my Levelling The Playing Field program for a while, as part of a mission of creating fairer access to knowledge. Eight 101 video courses for independent game dev, €40 each, available soon. Sign up for the launch announcement & newsletter at courses.ramiismail.com

Me at the A24 board meeting: We’ve got a brand beloved by young hip people and cinefiles, basically synonymous with “good taste” and “artistic vision,” in a time where both are hard to come by. What if we flushed that in the fucking toilet for a bit of money?

To quote Scott Seiss:

SD offentliggör sin medlemsförteckning

Scientific American is 180 years old. The most eminent science magazine for the general public. And today, sold off as scrap to stop the staff from unionizing. Many top editors I've worked with for a decade on several articles have been fired. What a disgrace @sciam.bsky.social

There are many reasons to hate AI, but I think PCs and consoles costing eleventy-billion dollars now has to be in the top five.

Now and always, say NO to Al ✊️

Sorry to hear the fantasy artist known as simply Emmanuel has passed away. And while the name might not be immediately familiar a lot of you will recognise these icon covers he did

Yeah, same. I can't deal with him anymore, he churns that shit out like McNuggets. Zero care.

Surprise! It's ego. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/22/o...

A24 was one of my absolutely favorite studios / distributors. I guess they had a good run. I'll miss them.

Jane Jensen wants to do a Gabriel Knight themed weekend in Rennes-le-Chateau, potentially next spring. Any millionaire that wants to sponsor our dream of a Thelemic Discordian road trip to Rennes-le-Chateau to find the Knights Templars' treasure or Jesus' descendants? That'd be two dreams at once.
