Images of your identity documents and ID-match selfies are deleted directly after your age group is confirmed, they said, like many before them. Don't forget, people: never trust Discord or anyone else making these claims.

Discord and k-ID do not permanently store personal identity documents or your video selfies. Images of your identity documents and ID match selfies are deleted directly after your age group is confirmed, and the video selfie used for facial age estimation never leaves your device.

Gas, food, beer, and more. Whatever more means, it can't be good ... 😬
The main character in Flesh Made Fear stands outside Rusty's Pump, a long-abandoned gas station in Rotwood. He's looking at a big pool of blood while the groans of whatever is out there are getting closer. You can learn more about the game at https://store.steampowered.com/app/3511700/Flesh_Made_Fear_Demo/

I have a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to data collection shenanigans. Just tell me what option is yes and no, and stop using conflicting colors. If you insist on being obtuse, you might as well take my data and not tell me.
Image depicts the data collection window in the game Militsioner. It says: We'd like your permission to collect and process your analytics data. Your data is 100% anonymous. Agreeing will help us improve the game. The text ends with a toggle button that fails to specify how you agree or disagree to the data collection.

Between lack of time and questionable player skills, it took some time to reach this point in Utopia Must Fall. From what I've seen, it's not a bad result. But I would've liked to breach 1000000. Let's see if I can make it happen before the year ends. 🙏

Welcome to the Belknap stalemate scenario. Yes, I defended my position in Days Gone for so long the game gave up and shut down. 😅

"This game saw success without marketing efforts. Let me tell you how by listing a dozen marketing efforts."
“Schedule I was made by one guy - and it outsold Assassin’s Creed.” Sounds wild, right? But this $20 drug-dealing sim from a solo dev hit 450K+ concurrent players, 12M+ Twitch watch hours, and became a Steam chart-topper… all without a publisher, press tour, or paid ad campaign. So how did that happen? It didn’t just go viral. It was momentum, layered smartly: - Dropped a free demo 3 months early to build Steam wishlists - Rode Steam Next Fest like a wave - and timed launch right after - Offered a 15% discount for $17 Early Access entry with a roadmap - Created sticky systems that made streamers hilarious by default - TikTok flooded with absurd clips of mixable drugs and cartoon chaos - Built a fanbase on Reddit and Discord from day one - Trello board, patch notes, and memes kept players looped in - Surpassed 1.8M+ estimated copies sold - without PR, UA, or a trailer budget - And when a competitor’s publisher threatened legal action? The fans review-bombed them into orbit The result? A $20 solo dev sim outperformed some of the most expensive games ever made. So yeah, Schedule I looks unhinged. But under the hood? It’s a blueprint.

Yes, me and my unfit tires went into the forest. Also, can you see the face hiding behind one of the trees?

Messy days ahead!
Image depicts the menu screen for the game Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days. You stand in a door opening to a store selling electronics. The door opens to the left and acts like a dark background for the game title and menu. Next to that you can see the outline of a door handle and three shelves holding a portable radio and other electronics. To the right you see three stacked rows of TVs in the background and 5 zombies hibernating in the middle of the room.

It's not cheap to start or upkeep a career in content creation. Luckily, there are many free tools that can help you as a content creator. In this particular case I'm here to share some free VST effects you can use to improve your microphone sound. You can find the links in the comments. 🎤

It wouldn't surprise me if the second last paragraph had something to do with it.
Announcing The Stargate Project The Stargate Project is a new company which intends to invest $500 billion over the next four years building new AI infrastructure for OpenAI in the United States. We will begin deploying $100 billion immediately. This infrastructure will secure American leadership in AI, create hundreds of thousands of American jobs, and generate massive economic benefit for the entire world. This project will not only support the re-industrialization of the United States but also provide a strategic capability to protect the national security of America and its allies. The initial equity funders in Stargate are SoftBank, OpenAI, Oracle, and MGX. SoftBank and OpenAI are the lead partners for Stargate, with SoftBank having financial responsibility and OpenAI having operational responsibility. Masayoshi Son will be the chairman. Arm, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Oracle, and OpenAI are the key initial technology partners. The buildout is currently underway, starting in Texas, and we are evaluating potential sites across the country for more campuses as we finalize definitive agreements. As part of Stargate, Oracle, NVIDIA, and OpenAI will closely collaborate to build and operate this computing system. This builds on a deep collaboration between OpenAI and NVIDIA going back to 2016 and a newer partnership between OpenAI and Oracle. This also builds on the existing OpenAI partnership with Microsoft. OpenAI will continue to increase its consumption of Azure as OpenAI continues its work with Microsoft with this additional compute to train leading models and deliver great products and services. All of us look forward to continuing to build and develop AI—and in particular AGI—for the benefit of all of humanity. We believe that this new step is critical on the path, and will enable creative people to figure out how to use AI to elevate humanity. - OpenAI, January 21, 2025, 11:23 PM, on X

I don't think buying a product for $398 or $528 falls within the framing of what a free trial is supposed to mean.
"Can I start a free trial? Yes! With our 90-day money-back guarantee, you can try ACE Studio completely risk-free. Whether you choose a rent-to-own plan or a lifetime license, you have 90 days to explore all the features. If you're not satisfied, you'll receive a 100% refund, guaranteed.

While it's nice being appreciated, I'm gonna use this as an opportunity to say: If you can, assist your colleagues regardless of what team you're on. The #gamesindustry is a team effort and not a place for egocentric renegades. And to you @louiselg.bsky.social, thanks for giggles and creative nails!
"Erik is a very passionate person. He was very good at identifying content creators that would fit the Firesquid games and managed to get amazing coverage from a lot of strategy games streamers and YouTubers. He also managed the company’s creators group FireSquad very well with care. He regularly shared new trends, or alerted on potential crisis on the community side, he was very aware of what was happening on the gaming world and its industry. It was very insightful and nice to collaborate with Erik!" - Louise, Communication Lead at Lightbulb Crew and Firesquid, 2024

I have a JS plugin for camera placement that viewers can interact with via a 3rd-party app. I also run an audio visualizer that overlaps with my logo/webcam window and shows/hide active song title. Another thing I use but can live without is my timer plugin that switches scenes automatically.

You're a measly 5200 points short. I'm sure you'll get that in one or two more tries!
