The bees have discovered Brutalism

I think it’s important and not discussed enough that the majority of the alt right gamersphere “leaders” are actually taking massive amounts of people’s money and delivering them nothing but endless rage for it.

@rahulkohli13.bsky.social is brilliant in #SAROS 👏🏻 You’ll love his performance and he’s been a constant champion for the game since we started. Honoured to work with him and he’s so good as Arjun Devraj 🔥

The way I snorted when I saw this...

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Dozens of delegates from multiple nations walk out of UN hall as Israeli prime minister prepares to speak.

This graph shows #unemployment in the Eurozone and #Finland. Can you spot when the most right wing government in Finland’s history took power? Please learn from the mistakes of others.

The thank you‘s go both ways. When we imagined Arjun, Rahul Kohli was my pipe dream pick for the role, but I wanted to prepare for the let down. “He’s probably too busy, too big for our project.” When I heard he said yes, I literally screamed out loud.

In addition to celebrating the gameplay reveal trailer, we’re also celebrating the PlayStation 30th anniversary at the Housemarque offices

I promised myself I'll wait til weekend because I can sense that this game could endanged my sleeps and productivity for tomorrow and we really need to ship SAROS

Wot I've been doing for the past few years

Revealed in State of Play: Saros launches March 20, 2026 on PS5. Housemarque details its upcoming sci-fi shooter and an extended first look at gameplay: play.st/4mEue97

See you tomorrow! (2pm pst)

Gotta give props to GDC for solving the issue of fomo for ppl outside the US who can't go anymore.

Don’t fall for it. We’ll be barraged with horrible news for 4+ years. You will see your favorite shows be replaced with slop starring Tim Allen and Rosanne type bootlickers. Commercials recruiting you for ICE with Dana White ranting over it. You’ll forget this discount as they jack up prices 50%

Your reminder that legislation to curb the rights of trans people to use restrooms or do anything else means everyone's behaviour, clothing etc will be opened up to intrusive and unwanted scrutiny and potential challenge in our daily lives. This is not a 'them' issue. Trans rights are human rights.

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly. sbgi.net/tv-stations/

Reading this on loop today.

One massive annoying thing about the USA's uncontrolled descent into madness is that it has so much splash damage on everyone else. I'm not up to date with US politics because I want to, it's because I need to know when I'm also going to be hit by the consequences of some Iowa's farmer's vote

Sometimes it's nice to remember that even Marcus Aurelius was like "you don't have to comment on everything bro"

So, y'all. Whatever you choose to do, please do it conscious of the fact that RW folx are *definitely* hunting for ppl who say anything "out of line" about That Guy exiting stage left. My recent experience attached. I'm just some rando who owns a small business.

My contract with Blizzard sadly ends in just two weeks. Come October, I'll be looking for fulltime or contract work as a senior writer or narrative designer. If you need someone who can write sharp characters, poetic prose, and emotional stories, I'm available! www.hazelmonforton.com

they should invent logging on that is good for you

I know I’m late to the party but The Case of the Golden Idol was so good! Really helped fill the mystery/puzzle void that Blue Prince left behind!

The new Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss for 2025

Gonna need cis folk to be extremely vocal and actually take action on this. Things are escalating month by month and it's only going to get harder and harder to rebuild these rights. Act now to protect trans people, do not wait

This is not the AI boom creating a new type of work, this is a classic example of managers using automation to deskill old ones. Creative workers who once made a higher wage creating original art and writing are now paid in piecework to edit automated output. Bosses are using AI to cut labor costs.

The Play for Peace: Games for Palestine charity bundle is now live! Nearly 400 games from creators all around the world, with proceeds going directly to Gaza relief efforts. Bundle link: itch.io/b/2979/play-... We made a launch trailer to celebrate this moment👇 Please RT.

Goodness, if the President has a serious health problem I certainly hope he follows the expert medical advice of his Secretary of Health and Human Services

Opening Bluesky this morning was a wild ride. A lot of smoke, a lot of hope but no fire yet. But I did go and buy a small bottle of champagne, you know, just in case.

There is no route out of fascism that involves sacrificing the vulnerable. All that does is tell the fascists that we're willing to turn on each other for the illusion of safety.

They're openly calling to lock up every trans person by force. We need every ally to speak out forcefully against this because trans folks cannot do this on our own.

This, from the Quakers, is a pretty good example of how to resist pressure from bigot lobbying groups. Effectively “we legally can allow trans people to use the loo, we morally should, and we tried it and nothing bad happened”

Major companies and industry leaders need to protect developers, partners, and creators. Speak out against harassment campaigns. Ignoring them allows the people who are already safe and untouchable to remain so, while leaving at-risk folks to face hate and harassment head-on and alone.

This is the most scifi-ass headline I've seen today Love everything about this "The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell" we are SO back

everybody come watch this with no background noise. brain reset.

Just look at this, folks! DuckDuckGo can now filter the slop!

"what were Jessie's exact words" is a totally reasonable good-faith question and I guess I should have clarified that I was not paraphrasing "wish ill" was literally the wording! they have added "wishing harm upon a person or group" to their list but like . . . context matters . . .

it appears that @bsky.app have suspended the account of @jessiegender because a trans person saying "I wish ill on JK Rowling" is against the rules, so let me say with my loud cis voice that I too wish ill on all perpetrators of hate speech against trans people reinstate Jessie, this is ridiculous

That's a war crime. How is the fact that this headline is openly describing a war crime not the headline. Israel is doing war crimes.

Olen kirjoittanut Gazan hädästä melko paljon. Nyt kirjoitin vähän pitemmin Aamulehdessä. Hallitus tahraa itsensä, jos linja Palestiinan kriisissä ei muutu.

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all: “If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.” Israel just killed him.

New game development hiring scam just dropped! They overwhelmed the email with information that might look trustworthy but if you pay attention to details it's a scam Anyways!!! No perfect portfolio, just vision, commitment and passion 😔

This whole thread has been distressing and upsetting to write, so if you think I deserve a tip for taking the time to lay this all out, I'll probably spend it on videogames. Go find some other trans people to support too. ko-fi.com/caseyexplosion

If you're in the UK, start contacting your local government, start raising a stink about this unconscionably cruel bathroom ban, call their offices, visit them in person, flood them with complaints about this, and keep the pressure up. Also, maybe support @goodlawproject.org?

This was always the goal of bathroom bans, to fully push trans people from any semblance of public life, and it won't end there either, the "gender critical" project is currently trying to exert pressure over businesses that hire trans people in the UK, so that trans people are unemployable...
