Hi, my name is Ada - I’ve worked in games for over 20 years.

As well as my career work on games such as CRUSH, Fruit Ninja and Phantom Abyss, I have a slow burn Indie project: Lifeboat Earth - a simulation game about trying to balance the needs of civilisation and the sustainability of the planet.
Humanity made do for hundreds of thousands of years without this shit…

Bluesky’s head of trust & safety responding with a sarcastic image macro to a woman upset her husband was kidnapped by ICE is embarrassingly unprofessional & cruel behavior.

that account was then banned by Bluesky Trust & Safety. horrendously poor community management. what purpose does this serve?

it’s not just AI slop: they’re breaking shit constantly now

since the latest update, random things will crash Explorer and my taskbar will restart, Discord kept freezing until I turned off notifications, and trying to scroll in Chrome with some games alt-tabbed is a glitchy mess

Gen Z is spending more on essentials than previous generations, yet their wages aren't keeping up.

It's no wonder they aren't "spending like retailers need them to."

When 70% of the economy depends on consumer spending, people need money to spend. It's as simple as that.

we are well past the point at which anyone who cannot identify bad faith like this is disqualified from commenting on it

the girl and her mother are basically screaming THIS IS A BAD FAITH ATTACK ON TRANS PEOPLE at the top of their lungs and if you can't see that you're stupid or lying
a lot of people debating the merits of that dogshit essay meanwhile the girl’s mom is retweeting demands to ban all trans people from teaching at any level. it’s forest for the trees shit

We should absolutely see this as a betrayal, and we should vote and act accordingly. @ec.europa.eu has to be held accountable for selling out Europe - and the world at large through it.

Hey so Michael Burry (the dude Christian Bale plays in The Big Short) just took out a billion dollar short bet against a few HUGE Ai companies…………

Reminder that he made mega bank betting on the housing market to fail back in 2008. No one believed that was even possible at the time.

This seems important
Germany's Friedrich Ebert Stiftung has completed and published on line the first systematic deconstruction of the oligarchic clique that stands behind JD Vance and Donald Trump. A project that American corporate media are afraid to touch (because... guess who controls American corporate media).
