Dreams on a Pillow is doing some crowdfunding to get the project finished and released. I interviewed @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social and @ramiismail.com a while back about why this game so deserves to exist, and the genuinely absurd obstacles involved in making that happen.

Okay so you might see this video with the audio muted. Now imagine how the music must sound like. I urge you to unmute and listen to what it's actually like because I guarantee you you're not prepared for it.

HOW TO USE TINTS IN SILENT MOVIES First of all, is your tinting literal or metaphorical? Both were used in the silent era. Literal is like: RED FOR FIRE

In the spirit of trans visibility, lemme just plug my ongoing project to document as many pre-2010 games as possible that had a trans person on the dev team. You might be surprised by what's on there. There's games going right back to the sixties! dotmaetrix.neocities.org/classictranslist

The core thing about Tristan Harris' shtick is that he issues urgent warnings about "eight people" controlling the world, but he ultimately wants to protect the specific people in question and stay in their orbit.

I don't know: Halo's PvP is certainly a huge part of people's warm-and-fuzzies about the series, and Halo's co-op was kinda magic, wasn't it? Multiplayer doesn't have to be synonymous with these mushy forevergames that feel more invested in keeping you playing than in what they're like to play.

key moment in this talk

The criticisms here are on point: Graeber doesn't draw sharp enough distinctions between pointless jobs, harmful jobs, and jobs that would become unnecessary if we solved solvable upstream problems. However, the episode didn't get around to the book's self-described "smoking gun," outlined here:

You're right, BlueSky: I *should* probably use BlueSky a lot less. (You know it's bleak when giving them your credit card is the least invasive option by far).
