Well, now I'm just searching through r/furry cos it's more art style than level when it comes to realism (my bad!). I've only ever seen the more cartoon-y fursonas which can vary in styles, so it's nice to see some realistic art in the subreddit.

Consistently searching "VR" on social media is dizzying. Hot takes everywhere. CEOs painting themselves + their company in a better light than the reality. Lots of "VR is expensive". VR in Education. My one reprieve is seeing furries just having the time of their lives in VRChat.

$60 CAD? No. Surely, not. Really curious to see what they did to remaster the Steam version which sits at $22 CAD. www.npr.org/2025/09/23/n...

This week,The BS rec’d a letter from MARIO GUEVARA, the only known journalist detained on US soil by ICE. For wks, we’ve worked w/ his family to obtain Mario’s handwritten letter + the 2 drawings of his cell. The letter is also available in Spanish. bittersoutherner.com/journalist-m...

The reception for the first #VRForever has been great so far. Some folks asked what else they could do to help the devs besides purchasing the games? Here's some ideas: - Leave a positive review if you like the game - Follow their socials accounts - Spread the word about the Festival - Have fun!

Weekend plans do include playing through the Godot XR Jam entries because I genuinely miss playing prototypes/thesis projects/jam games. Very excited cos some of them def. caught my eye!

What started out as a thesis on bringing film language to VR is now a playable game for VR AND flatscreen. Like any indie, this is a genuine work of love fueled by the perseverance and resilience of a talented team. There's something really touching about that. Anywho, go have fun with this game!

Relooted, a parkour action game where you liberate African artifacts from Western museums, has released a free Steam demo.

Well, let's try this out lol I'm developing a game (very close to get out of Early Access!) It combines VR and "flat" gameplay; full horror for the VR player, hunted by the PC player(s). It has giant alien Mandrills! You can get it on Steam at steam.pm/app/1936360

Trying to reconnect with a lot of old interests that fell by the wayside in the past decade. So, if you have any graphic novels/comic strips/etc. that you can recommend I'd appreciate it :D

Celebren con nosotros la labor realizada por el pueblo mexicano en esta nueva versión del Mexican Entertainment System. Celebrate with us the labor of the Mexican people on this new version of the Mexican Entertainment System.

So many games I'm excited not to play! Wrote about the how and the why in my latest: playingthisweek.substack.com/p/the-games-... #letsplaysrule

Um...maybe also actually engage with academics who have been researching and writing about this stuff for years as well? Instead of just relying on influencers and/or interviewing other journalists? And create space for nuance instead of just promoting simplistic hot takes?

✨I’m recruiting for a research project on game monetisation!✨ I’m keen to chat to game devs about how monetisation shapes the dev process. Interviews will be 60mins via Zoom. To learn more, head to bit.ly/40mOB3f if you'd like to participate, shoot me a DM or email [email protected] 😊

I love the Ignore option on Steam. I love the Block Channel/Video option on YouTube. I love muting people on a Discord server. I just love saying "BEGONE!" and going on with my life.

Have you ever wanted to just be a worm for a day? Then good news because we're announcing a new game! wirm is coming SOON! 🪱🪱🪱🪱🪱🪱🪱🪱🍎 Wishlist it on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/1934870/...

We’re looking for a developer-journalist to join @propublica.org’s News Applications team. You would write code, analyze data, build interactives — all in the service of public interest journalism. Check it out: job-boards.greenhouse.io/propublica/j...

I appreciate capitalism makes things difficult but you can simply talk about games after they actually exist

I wrote a review of The Paper, about a local newspaper in Toledo, Ohio. The show is kind of about journalism, but it's mostly about how we have lost touch with the world that we live in every day, and gotten used to nobody being held accountable for their actions. www.vulture.com/article/the-...

BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT! @mahliann.bsky.social, @marcuscarter.com, and myself have combined our collective brains and written a wide-reaching introduction to the complex and interdisciplinary field of Game Studies in this forthcoming book for Polity. www.politybooks.com/bookdetail?b...

"I can teach you, but I have to charge" - Harvard Law School or something

I often hear that critical AI researchers should start providing more solutions, but I rarely hear that uncritical AI researchers should start causing fewer problems.

I'm sure there are other factors in the history, but there's a lot pointing solely to Kevin O'Leary as the main reason the educational games market died in the early 2000s. theoutline.com/post/6293/re...

Archiving is a selfless act, often carried out by people who care too much, for people who care too little. I know this is a basic take but you have to do something because it makes you happy, not because you expect anything in return. Cool people do cool things because it's fun

There's a lot I could say as a former lowly member of a tech policy org. where there were people high up the food chain at large tech companies and gov't agencies. But for now, I'm just happy that for once an org. I am a part of took a good look at the facts.

Shoutout to those fighting fascists by throwing stones at ICE and shoutout to those fighting fascists by trying to sail into Palestine with aid for genocide victims. So many inspiring heroes on the timeline today.

Solo dev? More like nolo dev!! (No lonely devs here) Anyway solo devs are bullshit. Contractors and freelancers and every other person contributing to a game IS A DEV.

This year, in the absence of any media outlet or corporation asking me to write about Pride, I challenged myself to write a Pride essay I’d actually want to read. This is what I wrote. open.substack.com/pub/johnpaul...

Throughout the four decades of her artistic practice, Anishinaabe artist Rebecca Belmore has created works that challenge the operations, structures and processes of the galleries, museums and other institutional structures in which they circulate. #TyeePresents #Sponsored

👀 New show announcement incoming 👀 Something a little different, a little more in-depth, a little more... direct. Keep your eyes peeled tomorrow for more info!

this is why "diverse" training datasets doesn't inherently mean those communities end up being the primary beneficiaries of the technology

On another note: I have a long list of "I've had enough of this person" from Internet + Copyright Policy. Same four white men. Saying the same thing. Not promoting any new voices. Just each other. They're not wrong. But they also don't have any nuance from non-white, non-affluent spaces.

This hits so close to home. The fact is that we even start to police our friends and family. Just as a means to keep them safe and in our lives. I actually cried when my dad send me a text that he got home after a roadtrip. And so mad at myself for not asking him not to go.

The FDA is allowing comments on this change for TWO MORE DAYS. I’m doing this today and you should too ⬇️⬇️⬇️ https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/FDA-2025-N-1146-0001

If you haven’t read @brkeogh.bsky.social’s “The Videogame Industry Does Not Exist”, the concept of in/formalization is very appropriate here.

What a find from a local DJ's insta. Songs like these make me understand why some people had dedicated rooms for their sound systems and music collections. www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4KO...

Great read! It does cross paths with two larger (legal) questions: What do people actually own in this digital landscape? (and) What are the rights of an artist/author? Games have TOS/EULAs that limit ownership and cement an author's right to modify without notice. SUPERHOT is no exception.

This is such a hugely important story that flew under the radar nationally due to all the other cuts happening. inthesetimes.com/article/west...

apparently collecting data from real refugees (& real people in general) is costly and time-consuming 🤷🏾‍♀️
