Bugs and Drugs (1978) released on the PLATO mainframe by Mark Gorback, Dave Tanaka, and Paul Alfille is an early edutainment RPG. Targeted mainly towards medical students, players explore a hospital "dungeon" fighting diseases with fists or with medicine! (a deadly residency thread)

Lighthouse of the Week: Ep. 6 Thridrangaviti Lighthouse is one of the most isolated lighthouses on Earth, and was originally built by hand. Look up how expert climbers made this incredible structure possible, it's fascinating stuff! It has 0 legs, unless you count the huge rock pillar as a leg.

Spoke to Tim at @doublefine.com about Keeper, the weird little game that Game Pass helped make happen www.endlessmode.com/video-games/...

once again we are begging you not to inform Tim that the first Lost Levels video is live on our YouTube channel RIGHT NOW (snitch *after* you watch) youtu.be/jwfWyHz7idE?...

Yesterday's BL giveaway on Itch unexpectedly raised ~$6k from generous tips & donations, thank you! We will be donating it all to charity, split between two causes: Parkinson's support, for Ozzy, and LGBTQIA+ support, because Itch chose that same moment to do what they did.

We're about halfway through our 666-minute *FREE* giveaway of Brütal Legend on itch.io, as we honor the life of Ozzy, our Guardian of Metal: doublefine.itch.io/brutal-legend Don't fret. You've got about 333 minutes left to grab it. 🤘 🖤 🎸

To honor Ozzy's larger-than-life rock and roll legacy, we're making Brütal Legend *FREE* on itch.io: doublefine.itch.io/brutal-legend But this incredible deal will only last for 666 minutes, as the prophecy foretold. So get yourself clicking, before it disappears like a demon in the night... 🤘 🖤

Yoooo! At long last, the next game from Double Fine, our first new one since Psychonauts 2, is public! Check out Keeper! youtu.be/cTjCk55-Dg4

I’m on the ground in San Francisco at a community protest in solidarity with Los Angeles and all communities resisting ICE. There are about 100 people gathered on the corner of Sansome and Washington. There is a small police presence .

i have been driven slightly mad by so much of this industry pretending nothing has changed when...everything has changed

Uber is trying to defund transit and put transit workers out of their job

i didnt realise until i started seeing the linkedin posts, but a lot of the people laid off from the black panther cancellation are s-tier video game talent. artists and writers especially, absolute best in the business. andrew wilson views video games as an obstacle to making money.

Maybe capitalism just works like organized crime now? Before AI, "gig" companies like Uber/Lyft didn't work without breaking the law. They spent $200m to change the law. 5 years later, they're still fighting in court to stiff workers back pay from before the change.

If your business model doesn’t work without breaking the law, then you’re not in business. You’re in organized crime.

“Industry” is the key word here. The *technology* does not need to steal artists’ work to be developed and refined. AI can exist without theft, but these business models cannot. As with airbnb and rideshare apps, these are hucksters trying to outpace regulation, not build anything lasting.

memorize & internalize this important social media history. then, do a kickflip

I have a piece in the @sfchronicle.com today about why San Francisco should copy New York's successful congestion pricing model to revitalize downtown: www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/open...

In recent weeks, video game publishers Take-Two and EA both warned investors about potential "reputational" risks to the use of gen-AI in games. It's a problem that all game companies will soon need to confront: Players hate genAI. This week's column: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...
