Bjork's hitboxes are wild

The sheer number of times Microsoft has used the logic "Everyone uses our OS, so if we bundle this in, everyone will use it" and totally faceplanted (MSN, Internet Explorer, MSN Music, Bing, Xbox Game Bar, Microsoft Edge, that 3D Objects folder...)

The games industry brings in 300 billion dollars a year. The guy who made DOOM gets his projects canceled, the guy who made Katamari Damacy is broke, everyone in your feed is begging for a job and there are 50 new games coming out on Steam every day all going towards buying Gabe Newell's next yacht

Dar de comer el trabajo de autoras feministas racializadas a la maquinita del plagio para que se forre Sam Altman

Discover the secrets of alchemical processes, the hidden secrets of world and even deeper secrets hidden within us… All Living Things has a steampage, wishlist to be notified for the upcoming early demo! store.steampowered.com/app/3681340

Never forget that Neo canonically won at #TheGameAwards and immediately tried to jump off a roof.

Epic pays for licensing fees for the games they give away for free as promotions. Which means even if YOU aren't paying for it, you're giving money to JK Rowling to harm transgender people AND elevating her stature by giving her franchise higher numbers. NO TERF WIZARD GAME. NO TERF WIZARD SHOW.

I remember doing the deal for Epic Mickey, and Bob Iger shooting laser beams out his eyes at me in the Disney dining room. “Don’t let this video game fuck up Mickey.” Oh well. That’s over.

Late night thought, but anyone else think it's a little weird showing the really graphic Divinity trailer live on stream like a week after Horses got banned from a bunch of stores?

Hey cool thing about this: The comic book it's based on, Woman of Tomorrow, was written by Tom King, one of the architects of the Iraq invasion and is, in my opinion, personally responsible for the murder of thousands of people.

Most people resort to therapy. But you chose the brave option. 🔨 Virtue and a Sledgehammer 🔨 WISHLIST NOW!

No sé si os acordáis de que cuando se criticó a Roro por ayudar con Revuelta, salió mucha gente a decir que qué más daba, que lo importante era que la ayuda llegase fuese de donde fuese. Pero es que, vaya por Dios, resulta que robaron cuanto pudieron. www.lasexta.com/noticias/nac...

Brilliant analysis of how the far right acts as one international party and that it's dangerous to respond to them only nationally while they already think and act transnationally.

Hot take perhaps, but the environmental impact of AI is far worse and more worrying than the plagiarism or copyright issues... and the conversation largely being focused on the latter is honestly frustrating.

we all got cowed into avoiding "virtue signaling" as if the public affirmation of socially agreed upon ethical principles was somehow cringey instead of a significant part of what a "society" even is. now all there's left is vice signaling, and it's reshaping society.

After October 7, 2023, the surveillance system in Gaza that had been built quietly over years revealed its full capacities: companies including Microsoft, Palantir, Google, and Amazon have helped supply the Israeli military with technology.

crazy all the websites and paypros are doing their big No Horny Allowed crackdown while every online advertisement now is iether "AI SEX HOT AI CHAT NO FILTER BOOB AI FURRY GIRLFRIEND only for adults ages 6+" or "NPR is now teaming up with Bumfights dot com to revolutionize gamified asset trading"

Así es como se comunica que España no participará en Eurovision. Bravo RTVE. Bravo Silvia Intxaurrondo. Una vez más.

When we made our systemic game MirrorMoon EP about the manipulation of systems, the play of contingency, and the brokenness of machines, you commented, “Oh, so experimental games mean Portal guns now?” It traumatised us so much we’ve been making games exclusively about Italian politics ever since

Despite the controversy, Horses is only shocking if you're unfamiliar with the history movies, theater, literature, or basically any art form that does not have stats. aftermath.site/horses-indie-g...

Como especialista en asuntos regulatorios de productos sanitarios (ese material sanitario que mencionan) y habiendo trabajado varios años en vigilancia postcomercialización, veo venir casos a la legua e intervención de autoridades sanitarias. He tenido casos de infecciones en pacientes por temas así

Esto es lo peor que le ha pasado a la industria del cine en su historia, un desastre para la experiencia en sala y para el formato físico, y un auténtico drama a nivel creativo.

at some point you have to stand up and say "I think trannies are worth fighting for and deserve dignity" and that's the one thing no one wants to actually commit to

the HORSES affair is a startlingly low bar to cross to see if people actually care about protecting games from censorship of upsetting themes because it's far tamer and has way more moral clarity than a lot of stuff that doesn't get banned. but it's also very clarifying to see who can't cross it

i am going completely insane watching gamers make up shit about horses and interrogating every single thing the devs have said for inconsistencies and then deciding well it probably had cp in it. this is the easy mode version of the kinds of censorship that are to come and you're failing like babies

If your choice is between an existential risk to your organisation, vs being a fascist collaborator, and you make the difficult choice to be a collaborator... ...then you are still a collaborator.

sorry to some folks, but if we want games to be viewed as consequential art and not products - eventually game development at large is going to have to move past the realm of linkedin, forbes 30 under 30, how to market your game, professional business conference stuff and into something else.

Normalmente no me tomo en serio los discursos de boicot en videojuegos porque suelen nacer del deseo individual de cada uno sin una organización real, para luego señalar a la peña en redes. Pero esta vez SÍ hay organización. Apuntaos a esto gente, ahora o nunca.

hello bsky! our game was taken down due to a false DMCA which completely killed our momentum at launch. our studio is in a very precarious position right now. please share and spread the word, steam has been little help to our situation. noplayersonline.net/statement

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste

El tema es que a todo el mundo le gusta comer y ni la cultura ni las tiendas ni el mercado ni el algoritmo ni nada ayuda a frenar esta carcinización hacia los juegos dopamínicos y Ron Gilbert y los de TimeSplitters y todo el mundo acaba buscando el pan en la droga y parece ser que es lo que hay🤷‍♂️

BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling. 🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states. This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

waow 800 whole people have downloaded what has been called "truly fantastic and incredibly evocative" and "it's not a long experience", perhaps u too should take a gander.......

1. Great, let's do this 2. Here's some useful info (from my agent). You have until March 23, 2026 and it now includes illustrators 3. Here is the Works Lookup link: secure.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com/lookup/

One of the strangest aspects of aging that they don't warn you about is watching as history gets rewritten right in front of your face and people 20 years younger than you confidently tell you about something you lived through and get it completely wrong.

authors you have the chance to do the funniest thing right now

Todas y cada una de las personas que han tenido responsabilidad en este suceso, tanto las decisiones más pequeñas como las más estructurales, no deberían acceder a un cargo público jamás.

this goes right along with my theory that the AI obsession in *users* is often bc… 1. they were never educated (esp "ipad generation") & don't know how computers work 2. our tools and services are all SO AWFUL NOW, degraded at best, actively user-hostile at worst

"One of the first people to make public allegations against now-deceased billionaire child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein was Ava Cordero, a transgender Latina woman. Cordero, a model, was transphobically mocked in the media after she filed an October 2007 lawsuit"

#SaveSpeech if you are in the EU you should be FURIOUS with your leaders for pushing this through in such an undemocratic manner. continue to raise your voices and contact your representatives. demand that Chat Control be put down for good.
