oh btw if you guys liked Silent Hill f may I suggest Detention. It's by the same studio that made Devotion. It takes place during White Terror in Taiwan and has some really great horror elements from Taiwanese mythology.

KOSA just got a bunch of new cosponsors so, y'all, kindly tell them to knock it the fuck off.
Make this bill unpassable for the sake of keeping the open internet, enough of this censorship BS and "protect the children" excuses.

This whole series has been great, and genuinely moving, despite (or because of) being polished campaign video.

It is so rare to see those techniques—with that *surety*—used to say things like this, from positions like this, with a platform like this. No hedging, here.

Makes me want to do the work

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

most annoying part of having a baby is how everyone you know is all "can I see the baby" "where's the baby" "I don't see the baby" "is there actually a baby" "I don't mean to imply anything" "it's just that... You've been different lately" "ever since you fainted during that weird electrical storm"

I never know what tone to take in marketing so please just do me a favour and decide if "Nemesis is a book about how human transcendence is an ideological stance" or "Nemesis is a book about what if Char didn't wear a bra" sounds more appealing to you loveconquersallgames.itch.io/star-sword-n...

finally got around to playing the demo of this today after spotting it at Vancouver Game Garden and damn, stunned I haven't heard about this previously. "gorgeous story-action-scifi powerwash simulator" seems like the kind of thing everyone should be screaming about.

In space, death is contagious. When we die, the Scarabs decontaminate our ships and lay us to rest.

But when Dalia gets cleanup request from her childhood home, she finds something she’s never seen before: a contamination that doesn’t want to be cleaned.

This is Ambrosia Sky.

Graduating high school isn’t the end of the world… unless you’re a character in @ko-op.com's Goodbye Volcano High, in which case it very much is!

Find out why I really connected with this game about musical teenage dinosaurs in my latest article 🎸🦖

Dinosaurs and asteroids really need to work things out.

In the interest of self-preservation I need to start reiterating: my current contract with KO_OP ends late Nov, and I'm looking for my next gig! I'm a game/narrative designer, writer, & generalist with lots of implementation experience in Unity, some in Unreal, knowledge of C#, Python, and more.

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

I somehow missed this when it happened but my topic lords episode with @austinmwav.com came out at the end of September! Listen to us talk with our wonderful host Jim about assuming all your friends hate you, fast food destroying our digestive systems as soon as we turned 30, and more!

309. Shaking Ass To Music For Airports

Lords: Megan and Austin. We discussed going for very long walks, "elevated" horror, Every 5x5 Nonogram Section 303, NPC Dialog Test by Nintendo Europe, breakfast dogma, and not wanting to make shitpos...

Learned that I am being laid off from Heart Machine, and will be leaving the studio later this month.

Do you need a contractor? I've got a track record of leading scope-friendly script revisions late in dev. I have also done a lot of consulting on new IPs and pitches/demos. Feel free to DM me!

Worker owned things will have much better time existing when people will understand that “the rich/capitalists” doesn’t mean “anybody who gets paid (slightly more than me) for their work”

Aura/Moom @moomanibe.bsky.social · 4d

when I was defending itch I heard from a lot of - frankly to my shock - other queers who were like "it's a platform, platforms are the enemy" and until we're able to distinguish _as users_ the ways in which worker owned services aren't your enemy and deserve grace, we won't be seeing very many

it’s pretty rich to call people who are rude about chatbots bigoted when the entire AI apparatus mostly seems to revolve around creating an illusory servant class. if you think the chatbot you’re designing to kiss your ass and do your work for you is alive, what does that make you?
