If you like adventure games, folk horror, and archaeology, well, you've probably already played this. But if you haven't, you should! #archaeology
The Excavation of Hob's Barrow is currently 50% off on GOG!

A bargain opportunity to play our folk horror adventure game inspired by movies such as The Wicker Man & the works of M.R. James, with a little pinch of Twin Peaks and Lovecraft.

Santa Ragione co-founder Pietro Righi Riva addresses the studio's potential closure in an exclusive interview with GamesIndustry.biz. "There will likely be no money left to make a new [game]... Unless a miracle happens and Horses does very well."

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...

Jesus, this thread
I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Thanks to @miri.bsky.social and @andresplays.bsky.social putting this game on my radar

PS Plus has a 2 hour trial for Promise Mascot Agency and I'm instantly hooked on this. It's so funny.

I dont even know what the core gameplay is, bur I'm going to buy this asap. Lol

I will say when I stopped hate-reacting and hate-reading comments on gross Facebook posts etc and blocked them instead, the algorithm pretty quickly righted itself.

I think at a certain point its just self harm to keep in that loop, the world isn't really like that.
Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

As a fully qualified union rep: yep, this shit is illegal as hell.
EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum".

PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made.

my partner and i can no longer buy a home together because they were fired by Rockstar, without warning,

*checks notes*

for talking about working conditions with their colleagues in a private union discord server.

It IS such a gift when you get an editor that invests in your skills, or one that understand a kind word goes a LONG way to combat imposter syndrome.

By the way, it's National Editor Appreciation Day.

Nobody ever reads a great article and thinks, "Dang, that was some tight editing." But editing is a big part of how it got to be great.

So writers, if you've ever worked with a good editor, shout 'em out.

The Give Blood app is very good, the donation slots are really flexible, the staff are lovely and the biscuits are free. Provided you aren't mortally terrified of needles, I'd strongly recommend it.

One thing I've been trying to do of recent - to combat the doom - is find things little things that help people and leave me feeling a bit more positive.

And I've yet to come across one better than giving blood. It's simple, quick and you can genuinely save lives. I wish I'd started years ago.

This book is really good. Highly recommended!
If you like classics/Greek mythology/ancient stuff/history or know someone who does, may I humbly recommend our book as a Christmas gift?

It's full of bite-size introductions to mythological characters and concepts and the money goes to a good cause!
