Finally, Katrine Wind on larping fascism to understand the allure of toxic communities. People don’t join only due to hate and stupidity, but for dignity, belonging, clarity, and purpose. Wind’s Epos Daimon is a response to this, based on His Dark Materials. Being in the in-group is fun!

Oh yes please do review!

Es ist schon bemerkenswert, dass Orbán nicht durch eine Revolution, sondern durch eine breite Koalition von Menschen besiegt wurde, die innerhalb des bestehenden (wenn auch nicht idealen) demokratischen Systems zusammen gearbeitet haben.

We elected you to Congress to be a check on executive power, not a spectator. You swore an oath to defend the Constitution, not to protect a man who threatens democracy, threatens war, and threatens the future. Stop hiding behind voters. Stop punting responsibility. DO YOUR JOBS.👇

flower by alienmelon: You play the very last flower on a dead Earth, traversing through ruins, collecting memories of what came before. Less “game,” more haunting interactive poem with raw existential dread. Short, devastatingly beautiful, and very emotional.🌼 alienmelon.itch.io/flower

I'm on the latest episode of the Global Game Jam Podcast! I was invited to talk a bit about my path in games and ended up going on about my usual subjects -- labor, co-ops, political & documentary games, Atuel, and development in Latin America. www.youtube.com/watch?v=I00x...

Die Energiewende durchzuziehen, wäre billiger als alle paar Jahre eine Ölkrise und sicherlich billiger, als Kriege für Öl zu führen. Und außerdem würde sie Arbeitsplätze schaffen, um die es doch eigentlich ging.

Did anyone else notice, that YouTube mobile now has an integrated messenger (if you share a video, you can send it to another YT account). A chat opens. But if you close it, there is no way to find it again. Looks like they implemented it, but forgot the main menu to reach it. ^^

Ihr interessiert euch für modulare Kernreaktoren? Das Bundesamt für die Sicherheit der nuklearen Entsorgung ist hier richtig gut aufgestellt, u.a. mit Fachgutachten: www.base.bund.de/de/nukleare-...

Die Affäre um den Deutschen Buchhandlungspreis geht weiter: Der Beauftragte für Kultur und Medien (BKM) hat die drei ausgeschlossenen Buchhandlungen belogen. In einer E-Mail vom Februar teilte der BKM ihnen mit, die Jury hätte sich nicht für sie entschieden. Das war unwahr. (1/6)

This award by the @koerber-ip.bsky.social  is looking for extraordinay XR projects which use new media to explore history, hitorical narration or commemorative culture. #amaze2026 #playfulmedia #immersive #xr

The Wings Award highlights games developed by women and gender marginalized developers.  To be considered for the award with 2.000 € price money, games must be made with teams, where women or other gender marginalized developers were involved in key positions. @wingsfund.me

i just played Many Nights A Whisper on the strength of @mathewkumar.com's short summary: "I knew it was simply not going to be matched … thoughtful, paced well, … builds towards an unforgettable moment that you could only do in a video game … just buy it." deconstructeam.itch.io/many-nights-...

Good read for all who are organizing events in Germany: taz.de/Unsolidarisc...

Im Nov. stand ein Sachbearbeiter bereits das dritte Mal vor M.s Haustür. Er behauptete, auf ihren Kontoauszügen seien keine Abbuchungen für Lebensmittel zu sehen. M. erklärte, dass sie ab und zu Lebensmittel von ihrer Mutter & Schwester erhält. Kurz darauf wurde ihr Regelsatz um 193 Euro gekürzt.

Absolutely fantastic too see the creativity of playful media and games artists around the globe. Check them out for yourself here:

Spahn verbrennt Milliarden Steuergelder, tritt immer wieder nach Unten, zeigt Verständnis für Trump & wollte die AfD wie jede andere Partei behandeln. Und nun setzt er Teile der demokratischen Opposition mit den Rechtsextremen gleich. Das Beste was Spahn tun könnte, ist endlich zurückzutreten.

Einfach mal konsequent an der Realität vorbei regieren.

seit Jahren interessiert sich keine Sau für Kinder. Klimakrise, Bildungskrise, Wohnungskrise alles Wurst, sollen sich nicht so haben. Aber jetzt große Sorge Social-Media. Gleichzeitig überschlägt man sich, den nächsten Mindfuck KI-Chatbots in wirklich jedes Kinderzimmer zu bringen. So durchsichtig.

BREAKING: Das Landgericht Chemnitz hat den Beschluss, mit dem die Beschlagnahme des Adenauer SRP+ durchgeführt wurde, soeben als rechtswidrig eingestuft! Die Beschlagnahmung des Adenauer SRP+ war damit: rechtswidrig. Der illegale Einssatz der Polizei Sachsen beim CSD Döbeln hat damit ein Nachspiel.

We made a game! I think it's a pretty good game! You can buy it now, for less than a Hamilton! Or wishlist it for later! Both of those things help! And after you've played it, would you be a dear and leave a review? store.steampowered.com/app/2781470/...
