Joulu tulee, mutta kaikilla ei ole siihen varaa. Haastan sut lahjoittamaan johonkin joulukeräykseen omien mahdollisuuksiesi mukaan, että vähävaraisetkin voivat viettää joulunaikaa. Laitan kommentteihin esimerkkejä lahjoitusmahdollisuuksista, näiden lisäksi on varmasti muitakin kohteita. Kiitos!

I feel so bad for the Hi-fi Rush people, man

if they don't sell a Steam Machine that looks like a companion cube I stg

Love being reminded to do this every year. It's a win/win all round

“Don’t gather some of the most brilliant activists in the industry, treat us like crap, and then expect us to do nothing about it.” After the Game Awards cancelled its Future Class programme, @alyssamerc.bsky.social talked to its former honorees www.theguardian.com/games/2025/n...

Anyway, this remains my favorite review of GDT's Frankenstein. Chaw, as always, exploring the depth and breadth of the film's meaning like no other filmfreakcentral.net/2025/09/tell...

Today’s news took some wind out of the sails of my office Halloween costume.

The Game Awards not paying for Future Class members' *coffee order* is fucking batshit, and it is far from the worst thing in this thread.

Because SE's QA people are probably not in a position to defend themselves and their jobs in public, I want to spell out some of what it is they specifically do for us localizers, because nothing I've written here is rhetorical. SE QA acts as a final check on our work after translation and editing.

I’m not American, but the news of Mamdani winning the mayoral election in New York is restoring some lost faith in the world. Incredible.

If you're looking for a new book series to pick up try Discworld. ~40 books. Most have 3 layers to them: serious social commentary on today's issues (gun reform, gender equality, racism) and parody as a glue, tongue in cheek stuff, and the in-world narrative, the plot. Start on equal rights - 3rd

get in losers, we're doing 2008 again but with graphics cards instead of houses

A lot of the business failures of the games industry are really rooted in this desire to create a product that dominates the market. The recent Amazon thing really highlights that: they wanted to create a product that outperformed Steam, but they didn't understand Steam or what the audience wanted.

after spending over two decades experimenting with different ways to disarm toxic players in competitive game matches, i've finally discovered that the best strategy is to "mother" them "hmm, it seems like you're struggling with your emotional regulation skills right now?" they mute ME

If only we’d known about Moon 2 a few years sooner Neil Armstrong could have staged the greatest comeback of all time

my curse is that i will forever see baseball posting and go wow just like blaseball. i see the mariners have decided to go for the classic flowers/tacos infinite picnic game strategy

It seems like Americans are being driven insane by baseball

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

Y’all, Spotify’s stock price sunk by 5% in 1 day. YOU did this by spreading the word to boycott them for running ICE ads. These billionaires only speak one language—money—so let’s keep up the pressure. Tell everyone you know to cancel their Spotify subscriptions. Send them to BoycottSpotify.com.

Representation matters

The whole point of democracy is so one person's derangement does not become everybody's problem. It's social hygiene. The fact the richest men in the West are a mix of grotty twelve year olds and deranged apocalypse fanatics is a problem, and we should be honest about it.

Pedro Pascal was spotted at the LA No Kings protest with the best sign there.

This remains the funniest way to hear about an internet outage, though.

i imagine there’s about to be an influx of MAGA chuds spewing their bullshit but i really can’t stress enough that if we don’t give them oxygen, they’ll get bored and leave. block early and often.

Don't engage. Just block. They want to push their rage bait on here. Don't give them the satisfaction. bsky.app/profile/did:...

A similar thing happened to me about 25 years ago, when I was a preteen. It was a nightmare. Now, thanks to AI, so many young girls all over the world will have to live that same nightmare.

Taitaa tulla tästä se uusi ”yleinen syy”, joka määrää hallituskelpoisuuden. Sitten ymmyrkäisinä ihmetellään, että mikä on kun ihmisten usko demokratiaan murenee, ja kaiken maailman ihmisenmuotoiset molotovin cocktailit kerää ääniä vaalilupauksella ”paskaks kaikki ja palamaan.”

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

Please remember that the disgust people have over Christopher Columbus is not based on some modern, 21st century “woke” ideology, but rather on contemporaneous accounts of atrocities that make many modern genocides appear quaint in comparison. Below, are the accounts of Bartlomé de las Casas.

A reminder.

this isn’t funny portlanders only turn into inflatable frogs when their neighbors are being kidnapped by a fascist secret police force

I just want to know what marketing consultancy told them this messaging was a good idea

When @aceottorney.bsky.social first told me about this I said "this could change people's lives and stop developers from getting exploited" and having seen the final resource, I think I was not wrong. I'd call it a must-bookmark for indie devs.

Yesterday I finally beat the last surface boss in Hades 2 despite almost getting my ass handed to me by first-time Rivaling the Cyclops. And I can pretty reliably kick Chronos’ ass, so I guess have to put my adult pants on start increasing the fear factor.

IF YOU ARE GERMAN, YOU NEED TO CONTACT YOUR MEPs AND DEMAND THEY OPPOSE CHAT CONTROL -RIGHT- -NOW- the link below contains individual emails and everything, PLEASE do not sleep on this!

This is a devastating read

Let's set aside that Bluesky has ABSOLUTELY suspended/banned users who have not violated the ToS for a moment and consider that... A ToS which considers people advocating for their own material existence during a genocide must be purged, but a virulent bigot is allowed is a DEEPLY FLAWED ToS???

Meet your FAT BEAR WEEK 2025 champion. Chunk the Hunk. The Chunkster. 32 Chunk. All hail the new king of Brooks River 👑

It is 2020. I am shipping Housemarque’s next big thing Reading the news gives me psychic damage. I cope by playing Hades. It is 2025. I am shipping Housemarque’s next big thing Reading the news gives me psychic damage. I cope by playing Hades 2.

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.
