That England has had its three worst harvests on record inside the past five years really should be being treated as a much bigger cause for concern than is currently the case. www.businessgreen.com/news/4520171...

New analysis confirms three of the five worst harvests on record have occurred in the past five years on the back of extreme heat, drought, and rainfall

Can there be a more honest confession of dismal failure? Is Reeves so pathetically devoid of ideas for stimulating economic activity? Still, I suppose a few more pints into the wee hours are better than Reeves repeating Growth-Growth-Growth ad nauseam www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Pubs to stay open until early hours in push for UK growth

Apparently optical gaming mice can spy on what we're saying and video games are an 'ideal target'

Maybe it's time to turn that polling rate down again.

It's an extremely good idea to follow NoClip2. It sends a strong message that there is value and an audience for weird little indie games to media and publishers alike.

dannyodwyer @dannyodwyer.bsky.social · 2d

We've added 14k YouTube subs to noclip_2 in the past month, pretty much exclusively covering underground and indie games like this. Please come be part of what we're building over there.

House of Necrosis by @warkus.bsky.social wears it's influences on it's sleeve. But it's roguelite loop and mystery dungeon gameplay presents a whole new challenge.

The MIX @themix.bsky.social · 3d

Appulse is the fusion between pinball, top down shooter and roguelite where you need to protect your mothership from robots. Each shot affects your trajectory, allowing you to control it in the heat of the battle.

This. So much fucking THIS

Naomi Alderman @naomialderman.bsky.social · 3d

feels like yet again time to mention that the *videogames* industry (that's a creative industry, which people do creative degrees in) brings in more than twice the amount to the British economy as the fishing and steel industries *combined*

Naomi Alderman @naomialderman.bsky.social · 3d

I cannot understand what these people think the purpose of human life is?

It is *not* "pursue joy, deal justly, love well, try to understand as much and see as much of this beautiful world and of the deepness, richness and variety of human culture and experience as you can before you die"?
