A lot of y’all need diaries.

I’m NOT excited and I’m NOT thrilled. I’m honestly scared to share this, but I’m not a coward. I have to show you what you helped us create. None of this would have been possible without your help, and we can’t finish it without your support www.launchgood.com/1948 youtu.be/D4qh1FAPEUo

Happy fucking FURY ROAD day for all who celebrate.

The article emphasizing that only seriously elderly people may get the pill because everyone else should be game to get a virus that randomly disables people of all ages is absolutely dangerous. EVERYONE needs access to this or else they will become sicker Jesus fuck

When radioactivity was discovered, there was a rush to market for all sorts of radioactive consumer goods. There were water jugs made out of uranium glass, for example. I think about that a lot these days whenever I see AI products being marketed to consumers.

I really love Signs of the Sojourner. Just the core conceit resonates: that life experiences can change the way you talk/think about the world in ways that can both connect and alienate you from other people, that growing as a person sometimes means changing your relationships with others.

My Ship of Theseus is that he ends up with the Minotaur.

About time for the return of tiffins, reusable bento boxes, and glass containers that have long been around, well before single-use plastics' ubiquity and pollution.

Happy Mother's Day to them

I just learned on @rangedtouch.bsky.social about The Boy Who Would Be a Helicopter by Vivian Gussin Paley, and the title alone gave me a new angle of appreciation for Isabell Fall.

This a very good piece. It's the closest that I've seen to the @noahgervais.bsky.social style of the game criticism and travelogue combo. A reminder that the technology we have for video games is just as fragile as our bodies. They are sustained not only through supply chains, but networks of care.

I am once again tapping the "it is a genuine qualitative break from 99.9% of human history that society can now produce massive food surpluses with the labor only a tiny percent of the population and nobody has any idea how to grasp this" sign.

Paste Magazine was a tour de force in games criticism, and @garrettmartin.bsky.social is a legend. In the replies, share your favorite works from the Paste Magazine/AV Club/Endless Mode archives.

societies typically talk about human cognition as working similarly to whatever is seen as the latest and greatest technology. that’s why we currently describe the brain as a roguelike deckbuilding game about characters making their way up a spire

my dear friend renata price has been working painstakingly hard on this, and it's possibly my favorite work of hers, which is saying something considering everything she's done is singular in craft and care. get this in front of your eyes www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoWg...

@buliaros.bsky.social, I learned from you about the demo, I'm gonna let you know that the full game is out now!

Palestinian game dev @rasheedabueideh.bsky.com is announcing the promised second crowdfunding campaign for his beautiful Dreams on a Pillow - but @safety.bsky.app has decided you can't know about it and marked his entire account as spam. Another obstacle in him just telling his story via games.

Could someone who played the new DOOM game enlighten me about how on earth it innovated in narrative?

Very happy to reveal that Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector has been nominated for a 🚀Hugo! 🚀 I grew up reading Hugo winners and nominees, and many previously nominated and awarded books are among my biggest inspirations! www.thehugoawards.org/hugo-history...

Based on the demo, I can vouch for this. Go play Titanium Court, it's a lot of fun.

I’m closing my Patreon for day job reasons, so I’m releasing my 20 hour Tyranny playthrough here. I try to emulate Austin Walker’s KOTOR 2 playthrough from last year, and while I am no Austin Walker, I think it’s still a fun time:
