There should be more games inspired by avant-garde stage design.

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...

This is what happened to me. Employers across the board need to be aware of how harassment campaigns work and do better to protect their employees from them. These people should not have a platform to profit off of harassment.

One of the things that I've been writing and researching over the past year is how people are neurologically, psychologically and systematically primed for political cruelty, and one of the only heartening things is this - that it would disappear if it wasn't maintained by massive effort.

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features." There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

Let's fuckiNG GOOOOOOOO

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

My trailblazing game industry bad-ass friend Rebecca Heineman has passed away. Fuck cancer. Friends, let’s not forget her: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebecca...

It's finally coming!! On December 8th... I'm releasing my next game, Angeline Era!!! It's a vast, 3D action-adventure where you travel across a country's unmarked overworld, with every level hidden in plain sight. Please look forward to it!! store.steampowered.com/app/2393920

incredible that for big companies, this is gonna be considered the 'uncompromising take'

hi guys, my friend Maisa and her family have been struggling due to the recent flooding and storms. they need more resources to shelter and stay warm. can anyone match my donation of €40? (shares appreciated) www.paypal.com/pools/c/9jTd...

It's nice that you can use your Switch 1 controllers on the Switch 2, but I swear to god, it's just a bullshit ruse from Nintendo that you CANNOT wake your console up with the old controllers. They clearly want to annoy you after a while and force you to buy the Pro Controller 2.

look People think documentation is hard. "Documenting a lot" has legit been career advancing for me One trick: If you're writing down an answer to someone in an email or an IM, paste that this into a page Just do it. Copy-paste. A little cleanup if you're feeling ambitious. Bam, documentation.

One of the defining feelings in American life, for decades now, is elites doing plainly criminal shit and nothing at all happening as a result. It is deranging in a way that virtually nothing else is. Media fixates on perceived street lawlessness but shit like this matters much more in my opinion.

David Byrne, goddamn

POSSESSOR(S) is launching today. I have been the producer on this project for three years, & the last few weeks have been difficult. Most of the team isn't around anymore to celebrate the launch, so I wrote many words about these incredible people to celebrate them. 🖤 shorturl.at/MpMra

this generation of game industry guys like Tim here have always fascinated me, because they may or may not have actually been artists at one point but they don't seem to have ever had much interest or curiosity towards art. their real primary function has been to be a sort of libertarian ideologue.

For some reason the media is not mentioning that the reason GTA6 is being delayed is they fired 40 staff over threats of unionization and now the rest of their staff are revolting

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

Reminder that this is a winning position, and people support it

Can’t stop thinking about all the robber baron fucks that held secret meetings and spent MILLIONS AND MILLIONS in bribes and campaign investments and attack ads and media manipulation trying to tank Mamdani currently having the dawning realization that their money is completely and utterly useless.

i have a rough outline from a long time ago for a lengthy prospective video essay with the simple title, "is halo fascist?" seems relevant today. though it really could have been summed up by this simpsons clip

crazy how level design can have actual intention behind decisions to create certain encounters and not bringing in the original devs can mean you fuck up a lot of key moments!

this is worth seven minutes of your time. i've never been prouder to give somebody my vote

STARTING SOON: Zohran Mamdani gives remarks about Islamophobia outside the Islamic Cultural Center of the Bronx

I don’t talk about it much because the situation doesn’t really change but it’s still insane to me what an enormous amount of really talented game developers are out of work. just whole studios worth of incredible people, often people who worked on beloved games, unemployed.

40 odd million people use SNAP. 7 million WIC. food banks are already way down because of funding cuts. It’s going to be catastrophic

Something that ran through my head as I saw descriptions for Steam Next Fest games: if the project uses gen AI, it’s an instant skip Yes, even if it’s “just” for store assets However it’s intended, it LOOKS like an active gap in your craft, and there’s infinite other games to spend my time on

I’m at the point where I am just not willing to spend time seriously discussing whether games are art. yes. obviously. I’ve written for Pathologic 2 & 3. come back with a warrant.

I think this is a pretty lukewarm take but it’s instructive: ME2 has the better narrative design; ME1 has the better writing.

Even putting aside the fact that AI can't do this and will never be able to do this Who would *want* this? Who wants a bespoke personal TV show? That they can't meaningfully engage anyone else with? That no human had a hand in crafting? You might as well tell someone about a cool dream you had.

CRASHOUT CREW has a DEMO OUT NOW ‼️ form a crew of up to 4 overworked friends and drift into a chaotic co-op forklift job teamwork is key and disaster is inevitable so manage stress... or you'll crash tf out 💥💢 play the demo during Steam Next Fest until OCTOBER 20TH 👷

This is a really good article, and as an inveterate shitposter, I keep asking where the adults are. I don’t *want* to be protesting! I don’t *want* to be arrested for standing up to oppression!! I want a boring government that works and takes care of everyone and I can go be stupid online!!!
