Back in the day I bought so many issues of the Official PlayStation Magazine just to try out the demos. It’s even easier to try stuff before you buy these days. Obviously I’d recommend Millie & Molly but there’s lots of good stuff here.
If you're on the fence about shelling out for one of our #NintendoSwitch games, you can always grab a FREE demo of LOVE, 10 Second Ninja X, Destructivator, Word Forward, Millie & Molly, Cardful Planning, or Pan-Dimensional Conga Combat on the #eShop. Go get 'em!

Anyone else have SOGA (Sudden Onset Game Apathy)? One minute I'm 100% invested in a game, the next day I can happily never play that game ever again.

Music Monday: Martin Walker's epic C64 game Citadel - part shoot 'em up, part strategy game - boasted an equally epic soundtrack laced with swirling multiplexed chords and thundering basslines.

A shining example that in moments of rejection, you should a) consider the source, and b) allow it to fuel the fires of your passion.

Chocolate is disappearing. Cocoa trees are collapsing. People are dying from heat every minute. And people still shout “bacon tho” while fuelling the crisis.
A World Too Hot for Chocolate
For years, scientists have warned that the climate crisis would take food off our plates long before it wiped cities off the map.

Important not to overlook the fact that this bilge is amplified & disseminated by many prominent - and very real - racists who benefit financially, professionally & politically from the process.
Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.

My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

I do not know why my "sleepwalkers mysteriously walk across a violent, divided America during an unfolding pandemic being investigated by a rogue government-built AI" novel WANDERERS is a buck-ninety-nine for your electromagnetic book reader of choice, but it is, so go enjoy an on-sale apocalypse?

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."

There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

Past is prologue.

In 1933, during the Great Depression, a group of wealthy businessmen tried to overthrow the US government and install a fascist dictator to protect their own interests.

And everything that led to it feels way too familiar right now.

This is not a history lesson, it’s a warning.

I got asked if I want to pitch on (another) major franchise reboot at Paramount. I replied saying that I can't in good conscience work for a guy who is currently sitting down to dinner with Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Mohammed bin Salman. Maybe I'm my own worst enemy, but... fuck to the no.

After a bird flu outbreak tore through Midwestern barns, killing millions of chickens and spiking egg prices, the federal government didn’t investigate if the virus was airborne.

So ProPublica did.
