*Jeff Bridges voice* The Grid

I conducted an experiment on what Tiktok and YouTube recommends when not logged in on the app. Given the social media ban only covers accounts, hard not to see this could be the experience for teens in Australia come December. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/s...

You didn't like it when Trump said it, now be consistent and condemn this cowardly fence sitter of a PM presently trying not to lose all the Nazi votes. Did you vote for this appeasement shit? If you march alongside a Nazi, you legitimise them. You enable them. Good people don't do that.

The Albanese Government wants to charge Australians for making a freedom of information request. Makes dubious claims about tech being used to overwhelm the system. In truth? Govt workload one of the lowest in the last 20 years.

just found out its spelled forty and not fourty

As a parent, as a human, this family deserves a settlement against ChatGPT that should put them out of business.

And now, back to our regularly scheduled programming

2025 has managed to fundamentally shatter part of me in a way that I didn’t actually know possible. Between people entering my life, people exiting, mum’s cancer (she’s better!), redundancies at work, gender stuff, death, homophobic family, medication balancing, creative burnout… it’s been rough.

Ziff Davis and IGN routinely decide that work done by our laid off colleagues is not important. But inevitably, that crucial work falls onto those who remain. Not this time. Not anymore.

“At this point it's become impossible for me to maintain a relationship with Reuters given its role in justifying and enabling the systematic assassination of 245 journalists in Gaza. I owe my colleagues in Palestine at least this much, and so much more.” - Valerie Zink

ding dong the witch is dead ✌️

Meta freezes AI hiring, WSJ reports reut.rs/4fPDc1x

😬 I’ve been made redundant and no longer have a job! I’ll be figuring out art stuff, including commission prices and selling physical stuff within Australia. It’s been a weird few months and I’ll hopefully update y’all soon! ✨

hire my friend!!! ive worked with them for many years, in multiple companies, and im sad i dont get to anymore!!!

(No, Silksong's release date will not be announced today at Gamescom Opening Night Live, despite Geoff Keighley's teasing)

University of Sydney researchers have written an journal article arguing that Australia's teen social media ban risks hurting queer teens' health "[The ban] demonstrates regulatory ignorance of the diversity of experiences" insightplus.mja.com....

✨Happy Arco's anniversary! ✨ A year has passed since we released Arco🫂During this year, I composed a track telling the story of an Iyo woman, and now you can hear it 🥹Would mean the world to me if you can listen to it and share it 💖 TY for your support all the way ✨ tidal.com/browse/track...

Parallels returns and early bird tickets are available now. Check out freeplay.net.au for tickets and info, with a full lineup and general release tickets coming in September

Israel is simply getting away with every single war crime in the book because they are backed by a warmonger government just as power-hungry. There are no accidents in a genocide.

once again, CommBank are being useless AI-powered morons www.linkedin.com/posts/parisb...

Commbank staff used ChatGPT to find the phone number for Secretlab, the gaming furniture company. CGPT got it wrong, listing the private business number for game developer Secret Lab. Commbank has been giving this unrelated private number to its customers, inundating the studio with angry callers.

Absolutely delighted to announce that I'll be speaking at this years GCAP (Games Connect Asia Pacific)!✨ I hope to see you there! The full schedule can be found here: lnkd.in/gab-UZWX

We're excited and proud to announce that Digital Foundry is now fully independent, having parted ways amicably with IGN. In this DF Direct Special, we share our thoughts and aspirations for the future of the channel: youtu.be/tl7bIJ2yu4I

Overtime Mode activated! Since we were on the knife edge between making it or not, Kickstarter have extended our campaign by a week to help us hit 100%! Thanks for all your support so far. With that little bit of extra time, and a little bit of extra effort, we can make it!

I know a lot of you have already heard or read about BDS Movement's call against Microsoft, and felt weird and bad about it all, but decided to move forward as normal because of some degree of ambiguity. "What service is Microsoft providing?" Here it is, clear as day. A direct line to death.

OMG I can't believe the Indie World Showcase is starting with that game!!!!!

This means that no matter what anyone says, keep shitting on AI. If companies see it as bad publicity, the technology is dead in the water.

When PR comes knocking with a press release about this you really, truly, intensely should not write about it other than to call it out for the callous bullshit it is.

Just a polite reminder that we owe the concept of zombies to voodoun/Haitian cultures as an externalization of the fear of being compelled to labor beyond what was supposed to be the Absolute Freedom of death.

We're working on an art project for Freakon! We want you to share games journalism that means something to you. If you have a review, a cover, a video, a headline, a quote - anything that made an impact on you please submit it! Taking earnest and dumb submissions. seasonofdecay.cargo.site
