what a colossal waste of potential energy your party has ended up being. really trying not to spiral about these idiots fumbling their way into locking in farage as pm.

Zarah claims that the decision-making body isn't gender diverse, and they've said here that the conference is being organised by a gender-balanced volunteer body. This is shaped like a repudiation but actually confirms what she was saying- it's a boys club at the top but women can perform labour

literally all any of these freaks know what to do is interfactional warfare and stab each other in the back. i JUST want to see a doctor and afford to ride a train. this your party stuff has been so bleak dude no you are not allowed to hope for good things ever

there's nothing else for it. everyone who has ever been a uk political staffer is now legally a bin man or sewage worker for the rest of their career. hard reset. do something useful. we cant trust a single one of you thick of it motherfuckers

cannot believe how bad the Your Party launch and rollout has been. took a huge and deeply felt upsurge in british left wing politics and just pissed it up the wall

I think my favorite insight in this piece is in how it considers annoying design decisions diagetically. an exploitative religious economy, charging the devout to use a bench, skimming off the top when they want to save their rosary beads, etc

every time there's political violence discourse i think about how jo cox was assassinated in broad daylight by a fascist who shouted "britain first" as he shot her, and now nine years later her party is dedicating every moment in power to placating the ideology of her murderer

i'm not surprised that corbyn still has power hungry weirdos hanging around him holding this project back, but can they just shit or get off the pot in that case? i've said it before, but if this party isn't actually democratic and explicitly anti-capitalist it will be a complete waste of time.

helloooo you can buy my music for bandcamp friday if you want. i haven't got any particularly new releases but there's probably something there you haven't heard yet avoset.bandcamp.com i'll also be reposting a bunch of bandcamp friday posts from friends probably so uh, check them out too :3

It was really fun to work on the soundtrack for this! I remade all the tracks in FamiStudio and then worked on a custom track inspired by the originals. You can listen to TWISTED here: leafcodes.bandcamp.com/album/twisted

I just finished writing a DELTARUNE Chapter 3 demake-slash-fangame for the actual NES - it took 3 months! Spoiler warning, of course, if you haven't played that yet! #gamedev #fangames drmelon.itch.io/mantle

The main problem with Jira and productivity software in general is it’s such a powerful and expandable system that any producer can, with the best intentions in the world, transform it into The Hell Machine For Killing All Humans

opening your new game announcement with this is so fucking funny and real

so the only legislative victories of labour, the uk's "centre-left" party are thus far 1. legal to kill grandma 2. all trans people banned 3. like 65% of all adults are now technically terrorists 4. do you have a loicense to read wikipedia

i chose a really good day to install forgejo on the @veryevildemons.com server

CITY!!

Too late, I'm fixating on it :)

We are incredibly disappointed by the Labour government's decision to seek advice from such a narrow segment of our industry. You can find our open letter here: www.gameworkers.co.uk/open-letter-...

this is so true. i do sign some because it's such a low barrier to entry, but you should never be under the delusion that this system does anything worthwhile. it was designed to suppress the desire for change

well, i've signed up for their emails. cautiously optimistic about the democracy promised here. unless it is democratic enough, it will be doomed to repeat the mistakes of labour and i really need it to not fucking do that

Maddie and I have been playing Halo 3 co-op for the first time and I'm starting to think that the main appeal of these games is when the "Press [RB] to pick up" prompt appears over an image of an incomprehensible sci-fi weapon outline and you're like "ohoho now what does *this* fucking thing do"

A new trailer has released for "Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Walpurgisnacht Rising." The sequel movie by SHAFT will release in Japanese theaters in February 2026. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJaz...

Looking back at last week's fiasco regarding the Sultana/Corbyn new party of the left, Harry Holmes responds with a simple call: "Just Launch the Thing!" prometheusjournal.org/2025/07/07/j...

evil. plain and simple evil to say "we are doing better than we've ever done before, and that's why you need to go"

been listening to this album a lot recently. love the guitars on the verses (in 7/4) on this track. there's a lot of variety on this album too with some great vocal layering www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YJe...

game conferences

My favorite part of SGF was when the Splitgate dude said he wanted to "Make FPS Great Again" and then announced a battle royale mode with Imagine Dragons playing.
