It is really frustrating that people defend the monopoly situation with Steam where one gatekeeper gets to decide whether your projects live or die. No matter how good you think Steam is on average, start worrying what the gaming landscape will look like the minute Gabe Newell retires.
Our upcoming game HORSES was preemptively banned from Steam, with no path to appeal. The game will still launch next week on December 2nd and will be available on EGS, GOG, Humble, and Itch for $4.99. Here is a detailed FAQ covering what happened: horses.wtf/BannedFromSt...

I cannot stress this enough.

We do not need any of this.

We got on FINE even in the tech age WITHOUT ANY OF THIS

The only things in your home that need microphones are your phone and your webcam and NONE OF IT should have an "opinion"
Up next: all the crappy devices being infused with ChatGPT and other chatbots.

The last thing you want is for your nieces and nephews to have “sensual” chats with an AI teddy bear or your grandpa losing his mind because he’s spent hours talking to an AI “friend.”

This was my white whale for a long time, but the sourced audio sample during Xenogears' "Blazing Knights" boss fight track was taken from Christian Brando's manslaughter trial in 1990!

Nvidia became Enron so rapidly I clocked it immediately.
In the memo, “Nvidia also responds to claims that the ‘current situation is analogous to historical accounting frauds (Enron, WorldCom, Lucent) that featured vendor financing and SPVs [special purpose vehicles.)’”

It would be really cool if the consequences for releasing a game to middling-but-not-overwhelming success, was that you got to use what you learned on your next game instead of you and everyone you work with losing your jobs in an immediate studio shutdown.

For all the grief it gets, I don't think Xenogears text heavy disc 2 is all that bad. At that point you're already 40-50 hours in, the story does need to get in gear and hit a lot of points fast or the game would be a hundred and twenty hours long.

Weird how stays pending appeal only come out when doing the opposite would prevent bad things from happening.
#BREAKING: Just hours after Texas asked #SCOTUS to pause Tuesday’s ruling that had blocked its new House congressional district maps, Justice Alito has issued a temporary “administrative” stay pausing that ruling (and putting the new maps back into place) while the full Court considers next steps:

I literally think Mamdani went “you know, there was actually a President so popular that people kept electing him more than two terms” and Trump was like no way tell me how he did it
Trump posts:

“It was a Great Honor meeting Zohran Mamdani, the new Mayor of New York City!”

He included multiple photos of Mamdani in front of the portrait of FDR that Mamdani spoke with Trump about during his visit.
