For years, but especially for the past year, Democrats have been in thrall to the idea that they need to chase an imagined median voter, and adopt that voter’s positions. Mamdani’s victory shows another way: hold principles, and persuade people to share them.

Mamdani’s victory is a rebuke to the failed strategies of the Democratic party | Moira Donegan
The Democratic party appears listless and unprincipled, unwilling to fight because they do not believe in anything. Zohran Mamdani is the opposite of this

I enjoyed Ghost of Yotei a lot — as I have many recent PS5 exclusives — but I’m starting to get a little bored with the same themes repeating themselves.

For decades, Stan Lee was the king of comic conventions. Now, nearly seven years after his death at the age of 95, he will once again be a presence at L.A. Comic Con, this time as a hologram that will use AI to have conversations with fans.

This “solo dev” and “only 3 devs” rhetoric is getting truly dangerously out of hand. Investors see this and think “I only have to pay 3 people” and the result is severely overworked and/or underpaid people and a subpar product. We need to stop treating outsourcers and contractors like ghosts.

People and media often say Balatro was made by 'one guy'. I feel like that unfortunately may be stoking the flames of this David vs. Goliath narrative a tiny bit
No it was not 'one guy', look at the dang in-game credits

This year's Summer Games Fest presentation was really concerned with how few people made a lot of those games, huh?
It feels kinda fucked up. Not just because they're often misrepresntating the real size of these teams, but because I think it's playing directly into a new(ish) flavour of dev hate.

I've been playing The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy, the latest game from Danganronpa creator Kazutaka Kodaka and Zero Escape creator Kotaro Uchikoshi, and it's great — a return to form after some whiffs from them both. It's part visual novel, part strategy RPG, and thoroughly entertaining

A piece of concept art in the Art of Super Mario Odyssey book is overlaid with the text "Note: Relief is temporary." While it actually refers to the fact that the design of the relief carving is not finished, it inadvertently appears to make an existential statement instead.
