Yes @steampowered.com is down, but @gog.com and @itch.io are up - and DRM Free.

I won't mention other PC "platforms" as they're the arse-end of total shite.

When plumbers, sparkys and brickies jobs are being threatened / taken / lessened by some kind of AI we'll likely see some real public outcry. :/

Just watched the new film version of "The Running Man" - did not expect much, enjoyed it a lot (as an old school original film release date fan). Some good satire levels but I think the studio were holding things back and theres a better cut there somewhere.

It’s imperative this #BandcampFriday (Dec. 5th) that your support as the proceeds go directly to the artist. 🙏

Quick one — I’m making a documentary, Three and a Half Minutes of Fame, about what it really takes for bands to succeed today compared to the 90s. Gigs, near-misses, fandom, all of it.

Would love if you had a look and maybe shared it — every bit helps! 🎸

PTSD vs Bonfire night and inconsiderate neighours.

WHICH ONE WINS?

Instead of "tech-bros" I am simply calling people shilling for AI slop (or using it, or making it) DICKHEAD!.
Can we take that up as an industry standard, please?
