Watching an awards show (particularly *this* awards show) because of potential announcement/reveal trailers is monumentally unserious. 🤷‍♂️

Over 45,000 reported jobs laid off, which doesn't even count the smaller studios in this amount.

Countless studios and projects shuttered forever.

Constant union busting tactics.

And top major studios investing countless millions and billions into gen ai.

But sure... let's put on the award show.

Gentle reminder there is nothing more Christmassy than violently traumatising capitalists until they pay their workers fairly

Hot take: Folks had every reason to be nervous about Prime 4's MacKenzie based on the previews, and while *he* is ultimately fine, the game does still overdo it with the hand-holding.

The existence of school lunch debt is a moral failing. School meals should just be free everywhere by default.
Patti LaBelle and her son Zuri Kye Edwards have wiped out more than $667,000 in unpaid school lunch debt, helping thousands of children across the United States. LaBelle called the act “a victory greater than any Grammy,” emphasizing that no child should ever have to learn on an empty stomach.

So from my understanding, this guy made a video saying everyone knew about Justin and were complicit in covering up assault, except for CA, who posted a chat log about said assault in their response document, and also sexual harassment is made up if it happened to a guy? Is that what he's saying???
Apparently, Nettles about CTC is such an apologist for Channel Awesome that he claims that Sean Fausz made up the story about Mike Ellis' harassment despite CA themselves confirming the incident happened and per the reason he had 'resigned.'

This was straightforwardly an attempted murder.

Their hope was that he would freeze to death. Don't look away - ICE just tried to execute this man.
ICE detain U.S. citizen for looking Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground.

Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse.

Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.

7. Sorry We're Closed

Beautiful and surreal and extremely queer Survival Horror game that has some truly wondrous worldbuilding, some great puzzle mechanics, and excellent characters, I loved this one and hope you will too!
Save 25% on Sorry We're Closed on Steam
Sorry We're Closed is an eccentric story-driven survival horror game about demons, angels and what happens when both sides collide. A mix of classic fixed-camera exploration and arcade-style shooting ...

Okay, I'll make a thread of 50 indie games which I'll add to over the week, staring with.

1. Carimara

Play as a little goblin creature summoned by a witch to investigate what's haunting her cottage, it's a creepy bite-size mystery akin to the Frog Detective games, and has gorgeous visuals.

Correction cus just did the math myself on my lunch break!

- 15 shillings is worth 75 new pence
- 75 pence in 1840 (when Christmas carol takes place) is worth 83.18 GBP on 2025
- at a rate of 1.34 USD to GBP, thats 111.46 USD per week

Original memes math is way off!
