Highlight of the night was easily seeing all the students who i yelled at in each class telling them to go to Parallels come up and say 'i'm here'.

So so good, they're all so smart and cool

Last night was an absolute blast at Parallels. Me and Ryan didn't step away from the shop all night, so we didn't actually see anything BUT it was a lot of fun and thank you so so so so much to everyone who was lovely to us and bought things. All the sales go *directly* to supporting the studio!!

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

I just read and learned the word 'rightsholders' exists and it's such an icky and awkward word to read and say. I also see it as 'right shoulders'

OpenAI backtracked on their opt-out policy and now they say they’re gonna work it all out with “revenue sharing” with copyright holders. how much for a license from Disney to relinquish any control over its intellectual property

Sora, Not Sorry: OpenAI Backtracks on Opt-Out Copyright Policy

OpenAI, facing backlash, will now let rightsholders decide whether their characters appear in Sora 2, with revenue sharing for those who opt in.

you two really need to hang out

Oh also the only reason you will *need* to buy new clothes is because of:
- your weight changing
- it shrunk in the wash
- you wore the clothes too much.

This is a trap to think you don’t need to buy clothes otherwise and should fight against it (you wont)

Those who are 35+, what advice do you have for people just entering their 30s?

You are mostly just yourself in your 20’s except you’re uglier and have more responsibilities but also totally ok with both of these things

I was lucky enough to speak with Jo about Games Week, the local community, making games in 2025 and Paper House.

But more importantly, it feels really special seeing all the amazing people working out of PH and their galaxy brains.

Please have a read and hope you all enjoy MIGW!!!!!

A bunch of people working out of Paper House were interviewed for this wonderful piece written by Josefina Huq (@josefinahuq.bsky.social) for Well Played.

when the AI bubble pops I'll be swooping in and buying those data centres and turning them into dining precincts. i'm talking a Guzman Y Gomez, a Grilld, a Rolld, a Coffee Club, a Fratelli Fresh, a Strike Bowling
