Santa Ragione are a well-known studio, covered by a great many mainstream outlets. Their latest game will not be releasing on Steam for... reasons? Steam won't tell them why, won't tell them what needs fixing, and won't communicate in general.

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...

Following yesterday's discussion with @nifflas.bsky.social I decided to fix my dialogue widget to prevent words from jumping to next line as they get typed in. Right now I'm only using this widget for info terminals around the city, but it will be used for NPC dialogue as well in the future.

None of us eat canned cranberry sauce but we figured it needed to be on the table for symbolic reasons (like the bone on a seder plate). So every year since 1995 we are presented with the SAME unopened ceremonial can at the table. It still hasn’t exploded.

I saw some chat about Arc Raiders' use of AI voice actors recently - I'm probably not going to rerecord the talk I gave at EXAG but I thought I'd drop in a few slides about the idea that you can make generative AI ethical by getting people to sign a piece of paper to say you can use their data.

It is a disgrace that the BBC now routinely use the openly bigoted language of the evangelical Christian right under the dishonest pretense that their elderly audience are 'confused' by 'unfamiliar' terms. Spite as editorial policy. No better than Fox News at this point.

New commercial from Fangamer! I wrote the spoken text, but I didn't end up seeing most of the visuals until the commercial was basically finished. Steve and Everdraed did an amazing job with them. (Also, it goes without saying, but commercials are non-canon.)

Only for processual prison, e. G., only when prison is needed during the process to preserve law enforcement. Once you’re convicted you have no right for that. But if you have a college degree you no longer have that right either way. The Supreme Court has ruled that out.
