Rebecca was one of the founders of Interplay and programmed & designed for some of the most influential games of my youth, notably Bard's Tale I & III and Wasteland. She will be missed.

Rebecca Heineman's last message was for people to look up her departed partner, Jennell Jaquays. Jaquays was so influent to tabletop RPGs that "Jaquaysing" became a verb for designing complex, non-linear dungeons. @nickoten.bsky.social wrote a great article on her: pathikablog.com/2025/04/26/h...

The underappreciated anonymous heroes at @archiveis are being harassed by the @FBI (who seemingly has nothing better to do): www.404media.co/fbi-tries-to... Without them, @archive.org becomes a SPOF for archival. Good time to mention #Arweave as an anonymous archival solution.

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

New: Conde Nast fired four employees who were among a group that confronted the company's head of human resources on Wednesday over the decision to fold Teen Vogue into Vogue/recent cuts. Employees who were fired included journalists from the New Yorker, Wired, and Bon Appétit.

Finally, MAGAs have found a way to fight back Zohran. 😄

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting. now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

STOP THE PRESSES. The ROM for the unreleased Famicom RPG Splatter World has been released (in a thread on 4chan, of all places). I've tried it myself, and it does seem to be genuine. If it's a fake, it's a damn good one. Expect (more) coverage on West Mansion soon. @hg101.bsky.social

So anyway I restored Daicon IV from scratch. This was a joint project with Chris Person (papapishu), who sourced the incredibly Rare Laserdisc release. The raw files can be found on the internet archive for those interested in processing it yourself. Enjoy! archive.org/details/DAIC...

The bloodbath is global. Everyone hears about layoffs at English-speaking sites like Polygon, but every other language just gets reported locally. Jovem Nerd is big enough to get a cameo NPC & quest in Cyberpunk 2077. When they fired their game journalists, only Brazilians heard about that... :/

Dementium: The Ward is coming back! On October 27! I wrote one cutscene (lol) for this game's original release and you will absolutely never guess which one. Anyway check it out. store.steampowered.com/app/3909960/...

It's kinda cool that Gary Larson is doing new cartoons because he picked up a digital tablet, taught himself how to use it, and it made him love drawing again. www.thefarside.com/new-stuff/

We need to give more people a platform who can educate the public on this terrifying pipeline

Has anyone tried asking him about ICE... repeatedly? 😏

/3 But a huge plurality, at least, of the modern GOP is of the opinion that noticing bigoted trash is more un-American and destructive than BEING bigoted trash: that dehumanizing fellow Americans based on immutable characteristics is morally superior to criticizing anyone for doing that.

The guy responsible for forcing horrible smeary texture filtering on by default in GZDoom has finally crossed a line that the community cannot stand. An unfortunate schism, but hopefully this means things improve faster from here!

Good News folks, you CAN now in fact, play this The free demo for Legend of Khiimori is now available on Steam for everyone. Check it out, give it a try, tell a friend. Show everyone how much you want horse games 💪❤

Let's be clear a what's happening here: the "censorship" and "bias" narrative is being extended to Wikipedia bc the far right knows that getting bullshit into LLMs is how to shape reality as "answer engines" replace search engines. Wikipedia is core to that fight so the grievance blitz is here.

I’m opening a movie theater in which I show recently released films that I ripped from the internet but the studios are welcome to opt out if they wish.

This was always the funniest conspiracy theory to me — that there are MRI machine-like devices that can cure all known illnesses in seconds, but the government has been hiding them — and Trump just posted an AI generated video of himself announcing they're real. We're cooked!

Jimmy Kimmel being censored has sent shockwaves throughout the antifa extremist leftist community, who were relying on his show for instructions on how to make chemical weapons

This is the cost of casual legitimization of genai. The blood of this kind of suffering is on the hands of everyone who uses it for all the kind of stuff Giger has pointed out. Because you've been told for at least two years now what the cost of it is and to stop doing it.

The misinformation war isn’t just coming from Trump, but from a legion of loyal propagandists. In my latest essay, I dig into one of the most popular and stupid of them all, Jesse Watters. youtu.be/PM-FEDkgbOI?...
