'Xi stated: “Taiwan’s return to China is an integral part of the post-war international order.” ...Traditionally, Beijing has not framed Taiwan as part of a completed post-World War II territorial settlement. Instead, Taiwan has been positioned as the unresolved legacy of the Chinese civil war'

re: LLM answers at the top of search results — it's so funny that they put a little imp who lies to you at the gate to All Human Knowledge. Does Google think it's protecting the city of Thebes??

Yesterday, the Epic Games Store decided at the last minute not to distribute the game, after having previously approved a release build. HORSES is otherwise now available on GOG, Itch, and Humble for $4.99. www.horses.wtf

To clarify, there's nothing in this game that wouldn't pass muster in an M-rated film. There are people spreading malicious rumors about it, claiming that it is more extreme. It reminds me of Night Trap, supposedly one of the most transgressive games of its age. Reality: Milder than Power Rangers.

Interesting how the historical memory of World War II is claimed any which way when it comes to cross-strait relations

Our upcoming game HORSES was preemptively banned from Steam, with no path to appeal. The game will still launch next week on December 2nd and will be available on EGS, GOG, Humble, and Itch for $4.99. Here is a detailed FAQ covering what happened: horses.wtf/BannedFromSt...

TGS was weird this year, and it took me a bit to get to the core of why For GamesIndustry, I wrote about TGS, industry anxieties, free-to-play gaming, AI, and the economy Because the event was a vector where the whole mess felt brutally exposed

I'm back in Barcelona for a while. Starting up my 6 year old desktop running Windows 10, finding out it runs much smoother and faster than my 3 year desktop back home running Windows 11 🙃

I presented this game in today's #picotachi . @picopicocafe.bsky.social You can create your original music alongside just playing SameGame. Thank you for coming out! 本日の #picotachi で、”Same Game, Different Music, Different Version”を発表しました！さめがめをプレイすると、オリジナルの音楽が出来ていくゲームです。 来てくださった方々、ありがとうございました～！

Off-Score is probably the most exciting thing I saw at TGS. I wasn't expecting a rollercoaster fusion-jazz playable music video with a face melting guitar solo when I sat down but that's what it delivered store.steampowered.com/app/1355000/...

We'll be at Tokyo Games Show come say hi!

A friend pointed me to this nice post that describes the use of the GPU's Output Merger and the definitions of the Blend Units in shaders to recreate some of the image editors' blending modes! www.elopezr.com/photoshop-bl...

Does anybody know of a good blog, web or video that talks about the different blending operations and factors that graphics cards can do when rasterizing, and goes into detail of practical combinations that can be used for real-time rendering? Res = (Src Col x Src Fact) Op (Dest Col x Dest Fact)

“I firmly believe that everyone should be doing everything in their power to do what we can to end the genocide in Palestine." Game designers band together again to extend critical aid to Palestinians in Gaza.

Some notes on this. Most games featuring indigenous people are full of stereotypes. I could only find 12 good examples that fit. Many are made by Dr. Elizabeth LaPensée an award-winning Irish, Anishinaabe, and Métis game creator. Please check out these important games.

“Between 2009 and 2012, iPhones had a built-in "Send to YouTube" button in the Photos app. Many of these uploads kept their default IMG_XXXX filenames, creating a time capsule of raw, unedited moments from random lives.” walzr.com/IMG_0001 this is beautiful 🥲

Haters tell me "but that's not the technology's fault, you can also use it to enhance your own writing rather than outsource everything to the machine" And this is a great lesson in User Experience Design: you CAN but you WON'T, because of how the software is designed. Let's talk about friction.

For any friends in Taipei, next Saturday YenTing Lo is performing with her sextet some amazing new music! I've had the chance to hear some of it and I can't recommend it enough! www.opentix.life/event/191501...

i worked with our director RJ to put together a web page compiling phone numbers, emails, and petitions where you can make your voice heard - protect queer artists and sex workers and tell payment processing companies to end their awful policies harming safe spaces for creative art

every site and service youre using should always be treated like you're just squatting in a billionaires house and be ready to leave with your shit at a moments notice. carve a home there like a pest and when it's time to go you do the same in the next place. this is life

Consume Me just got delisted in a wave of delistings on itchio. It's a semi-autographical game about disordered eating. It won the grand prize at the most recent IGF awards. When storefronts start mass bannings, everything is threatened.

Amigos hispanohablantes: ¿hay alguna revista de cultura/artes/sociedad que se edite también en papel y que merezca la pena leerse? Estoy buscando una manera de mantener el idioma en casa vivo y los periódicos ya no hacen ediciones internacionales en papel. Gracias!

Teaching AI literacy. (GenAI is wrong A LOT. And even though people tend to think it saves time, we now have randomized controlled trials that show situations where it takes *more* time even when participants self-report it's saving them time.)

Reminder to all itch users. If you enjoy something you played, let the creator know. Personally, a thoughtful comment lights me up more than a purchase.
