I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work. This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public. Please spread the word. 🧵 1/4

But in Room 46, there's a secret fifth notebook containing a cipher that unlocks a hidden message in the other four

sorry I can't hear you over the explosions, peace is so loud today

Bad Loss For Goodwin. Even his name is a lie.

All the negative sentiment about a Goodwin today makes me wonder if I should I request my name officially change to Mr. Dance Mr. Joel Dance

some benevolent cyberpunk for you

This month I learnt I must have watched a censored version of the Stargate SG-1 pilot because when I watched it on Netflix again my jaw dropped when there was a scene involving full-frontal female nudity Uh, yes kids, I have no memory of this scene at all

Nobody really remembers eXperience 112, but I still do, and still appreciate what it did with indirect controls and surveillance systems. Also, as it's still in my Steam library (apparently), I think I'll have another look.

as my children couldn't tell me that pancake day is actually shrove tuesday, I hereby rename christmas as gift day if god can be defeated with pancakes, im hoping we can defeat fascism with ice cream

Reeling from the news that The Backrooms are real

every time I've had to spell jeapordy I've found myself in joelpardy this post brought to you by Dave's Word Game

Reading about the complex scoring system for a new roguelike I just heard about, ice skating

i didn't have the japanese font i wanted, so i made one

for years, 868-HACK was my favorite video game. eventually, Michael made Cinco Paus, and that became my favorite video game. then I became a playtester for 868-BACK, and you'll never guess what happened next. please wishlist, buy, and play this game. it is unbelievably good.

oh, i love rpgs

I now believe the defining quality of a roguelike is to degrade the definition of a roguelike

Yesterday, my puzzle book Workworkwork won the Thinky Award for the Best Pen and Paper Puzzle ( @thinkygames.com )! In celebration I added 100 free community copies of the digital (PDF) version: letibus.itch.io/www Check out more about the game / get the physical copy here: blazgracar.com/www

$5US!!! A MUST BUY! @electrondance.com had great things to say about this " It’s better to think of Leap Year as a mystery game where you, the famous mechanics detective, must figure out what makes this game tick."

it's not great when the consultation landing page continues the labour habit of just making things up where immigration rules are concerned. SETTLEMENT IS NOT GRANTED AUTOMATICALLY. absolute joke of a government

Leap Year is now available on Nintendo Switch! www.nintendo.com/us/store/pro...

Catching intrusive thoughts like "should I add 'developing a game' to my bio" Slippery slope because after that I'll be one of those ppl with ✈️ GDC and Wishlist Now as their account name

Entire posts on this account go out unchecked, leaving typos the size of houses in my wake. I run my social media like a Cardassian ICE op because who has time for due process

Hey I finally got some to finishing the brilliant Strange Jigsaws last night as I was too dead to work on The Game™️ If you liked 10 Small Mazes, you should really get on this - it's deeper and quite tricky. Wholesome feels.

Think I need to respond to every image I see going forward with "AI much?" VN screenshot. AI much? Photo of crowds at a fascist gathering. AI much? Whitehouse press release. AI much? Dad sends dinner picture. AI much? will ask an AI to write the bot for me

No game update posts recently doesn't mean there haven't been game updates. Progress is asymptotic - the closer I get to finishing, the slower the progress becomes. Because each bit I complete is now meant to be "done" not "ready for revision". of course "done" is just code for "will revise again"

(discovers Justice, plays NEVERENDER video) well that's lovely, got those daft punk vibes so let's try something else in their repertoire (clicks on GENERATOR) omg this video does not have the daft punk vibes 👀 (cinematic strings swell) okay this slaps but seriously wtf am i watching

Yeah but would probably end up one of those babies who cry every 15 minutes but only on weekdays

As critics' essays (in word or visual form) have occasionally been lauded as a works of art in themselves I was thinking about how a review is a derivative work, founded upon the source material, and is therefore considered fair use

A new website about PC games, from me, @brendyc.bsky.social and @jonhicks.com. Reader-supported, which means no ads, no guff, and lots of games blogging about delightful things to play. If you liked our work on RPS, we think you'll like @jank.cool.

"hi" "Hey, buddy. I don't have much space left." "should we defrag" "So it looks like you want to free up some space. I'll format myself which will fix those pesky fragmentation issues. No need to thank me, buddy, no need."

just as far as I can tell the AI masterplan is to drain the world of hardware so we have no computing choice but to ask AI to do everything
