Every year, Finland declares The Christmas Peace. In past it meant that penalties for violations committed during the Christmas Peace period were harsher than other times, was put in place because Christmas brought with it free time for the masses - and unfortunately civil unrest often ensued.

The confusion and conflation of ‘generative ai that is built on stolen artwork’ and ‘machine learning, character behaviour modelling and proc gen’ is intentional on the part of the grifters peddling the former. They benefit from murkiness of classification, because the latter predates their bollocks

Let’s survive these horrors together, ok

What a year! We are incredibly grateful for the friends and community we've built along the way! The AbleToPlay team will be taking a step back to rest and play some new accessible games with our families. We're excited to show you more of what we're working on in the new year! Happy holidays! ☃️

Have a best possible week

Game accessibility isn’t niche — over 1 billion people worldwide have a disability. Accessible design expands your audience by default.

Meds I’ve been taking for over 20 years 3 x a day now cost 2€ per tablet?? Cost used to be under 16 cents. What is happening. I went from paying 14.5€/month to 180€/month on top of all other meds and doc appointments. Holy. 🫠

Honest question for my Producer/Project Manager folks out there: Does Agile/Scrum and task management apps (Trello/Jira) work for your team? How big is your team? What do you use? If not, how do you manage projects then?

Nonogram games are always visually relaxing, and Squeak Ross: Home Squeak Home by @alblune.bsky.social takes it a step further!
