I accidentally installed both Avowed and Unavowed on my computer and now both games are gone.

TFW you've finished TR-49, have a hankering for more database puzzlers, just in time for the DOJ to release a real banger.

I often think about how @christinelove.bsky.social's Hate Plus depicted the Mugunghwa's frustrating and dumb slide into patriarchal authoritarianism and man is the real world so much stupider than that

Sing us a song, you're the piano man Sing us a song tonight I play the piano, it's in the name Why would you think that I sing?

Henry’s marvelous medieval adventures redefine the meaning of ‘immersion’

Having a hell of a good time with Seance of Blake Manor 😊 We should be so lucky as to have both Blue Prince and Blake Manor come out within the same year.

I've just found out which Babylonian god people prayed to to get up early in the morning - Ninurta! 'To do business at the quay where traffic rushes swiftly by, You, O unrivalled king of the world, rouse at daybreak him who else would not rise.' From www.ebl.lmu.de/corpus/L/3/1...

Strange Horticulture was the cosiest puzzle game that was enormously fun, and Strange Antiquities is the perfect follow-up. Getting close to the end now and thoroughly enjoying it.

Every time there's a cabinet reshuffle, I just really want someone to make a deck builder game based on parliamentary politics where you can literally reshuffle your deck and draw a new cabinet as a mechanic.

This is very good.

the reason I’ve been so vocal about the water use of AI thing is that the most commonly cited stuff saying it’s bad doesn’t add up & I think it’s important to be accurate about the negative impacts of this tech. if 1/3 of your cited issues are wrong, an informed listener may doubt the remaining 2.

One of the scenes that made me stop watching Star Trek Discovery was in S01E02 where the protagonist, confined to the brig, enters an ethical debate with the ship's computer and convinces it to let her go. Little did I know only a few years later it would become the most realistic part of the show 😔

Thank god for the ability to pixel peep other people's photos to satisfy my FOMO. Not that I could afford it but... yeah, this camera looks pretty, yet it bleeds like any other.

As someone who was introduced to Steve Yedlin's Display Prep demo at a formative time in his career, today's been a very fun day in film emulation.

The Immortality Design Works Deluxe Edition box is a beast, I was not prepared for this level of cool. I didn't even realise these were signed, my apologies to your wrist @mrsambarlow.bsky.social!

So cool to see some of our Sea of Thieves stylisation work still finding new life! Awesomely cool implementation 😊

I never before realized how badly I wanted an anime adaptation of Dune Not the book The David Lynch movie

the UK’s Internet age verification law has led to the effective censorship of all LGBT content on Reddit what a shocking and unexpected turn of events!

Speed running to see how many of these 'age verification' services that the UK now has to put up with, will happily verify my Cyberpunk 2077 character. (Spoiler alert: all of them. Absolute clownshow).

This itch.io NSFW policy change is unfortunately nothing new, the problem isn't the platforms themselves but rather Visa/MC strong-arming these services into revising their NSFW policies. So if you're eligible I invite you to sign this ACLU petition: action.aclu.org/petition/mas...

For folks in the UK, please take a look at signing petition.parliament.uk/petitions/72... which aims to repeal the Online Safety Act, which is coming into force and restricting large swathes of internet access and pushing online services to curtail their operations in the UK internet.

If you see this, post a vampire.

Many thanks to @daggersmctimbers.bsky.social for taking good care of the camera for the group photo! 😀 It came out stellar!

Had such a lovely time at my first ever #SoTFest - such a delight to be able to make it finally, and get to meet so many amazing and talented folks!

oh my god

What a week, huh?

Movie you've watched more than six times with a gif. "Hard mode" = no Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings or Marvel.

URGENT: Following yesterday's public protests & our thread calling for everyone to contact their MP urgently here is some guidance on what you might say in an email. This is not a time for thinking someone else will fix this. Please read, share and ACT! www.translegalproject.org/post/urgent-...

the rental market is so bad right now

We're going to need more than a petition, but let's start there: chng.it/YncGpXgTSp

I had a Melionae joke be couldn't figure out how to spell it

Releasing the reviews for the Blue Prince two whole days before it releases is just cruel 😄

Just received my copy of @lswisnom.bsky.social's stunning opus The Library of Ancient Wisdom in the mail and I'm so excited to finally read it! It is such a delightful thing to finally have this be a real book I can hold in my hands after hearing about it for so long 🤩

"Haecceity", Avowed writers? *Really*? 😅 Man, there's a word I haven't seen written in 15-odd years.

Ancient Mesoamerican cultures were undefeated at having ceramic vessels that were also just a little guy

Had a dream I was on a business trip to Vegas (?) with a corporate VIP. We were at a glitzy hotel and he wanted to hit the tables, but the décor was casino-coded without there being any real games anywhere. Finally he realised, "Dammit, this is the Four Seasons Hotel, not the Four Seasons Casino!"

Just a little treat for myself, collating some of my favourite photos from the last couple of years, featuring @inetsj.bsky.social, @esthersmisdom.bsky.social, @monstressmedusa.bsky.social, @bintymadger.bsky.social and others.

Are AI-penned immersive experiences on track to become an annual Glaswegian festival, at this point? August has the Edinburgh Fringe, January has the Glasgow AI... Bangs?

As all Freya videos, a really good watch, though it's difficult for me to articulate my words here somewhat, as while I thoroughly share much of the sentiment, it also feels like this kind of AI discourse tends to miss the woods for the trees? Going to try and mull through some of it in this thread.

I'm sorry but on top of all the other travesties Netflix is guilty of, this should be illegal.

Had the dubious pleasure of seeing Jensen's/Zuck's keynote at SIGGRAPH live, and this was a major part of Zuck's spiel. Utterly bewildering pitch, and conveniently no questions where taken from the audience after (unlike Jensen's keynote earlier, which had a Q&A).
