Screenshot of an Ars Technica article. It reads: For some, this was simply an intolerable escalation of some long-standing issues. “I’ve never really felt safe traveling to the US,” said Rami Ismail, a longtime indie developer, consultant, and GDC attendee since 2010. “I have a lot of Arab names, and I have a slightly Arab vibe, and I’ve been made very aware that a lot of folks in the US do not want us to exist there, or even elsewhere… I’ve spent a lot of time with my passport confiscated or in interrogation rooms. Under this new, violent administration, it’s simply not safe to travel. “I ain’t going to GDC because I’m 99 percent sure I would not leave detention anytime soon,” Ismail continued. “It used to be bad; now my white friends are being treated like I used to be.”

Peep the vid, scoop the game, and pop some headphones on because this game will Do Things To You (positive)
Beautiful piece! You’re really selling me on this one. I played Red and Blue as a kid, but basically followed your trajectory afterwards—kept trying; no love. This sounds utterly delightful, though!
Ooooof
Still a tough pill for me to swallow. As a Steam Deck owner who is increasingly willing to take graphical compromise if it means I can game wherever, whenever I was feeling quite well-served by their PC ports. And I even have a PS5!
Tokyo peeps: A friend of mine and her husband arrive at Haneda at 2 a.m. and are looking for a place to hang out in Tokyo until their connecting flight the following afternoon.
Do you have any ideas about fun or interesting places spend the wee hours in Tokyo?

雑感:
パランティアのデータプラットフォームは、イスラエルも米ICE(移民税関局)も使っています。戦争協力にも人民弾圧にも抵抗がない会社です。
日本で大量監視システムを構築、警察も自衛隊も活用しまくることになる予感がするのですが、大丈夫でしょうか。

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM
Hell yeah, brother! Excellent work as always!
There are too many excellent people to name (and not all of them are on social media), but this was a true team effort, and it was a honest pleasure to work with every one of my talented colleagues.
An excellent Ditto
Now that it's out, I can finally share that I had the pleasure of working on the English localization of the wonderful Pokémon Pokopia alongside a fantastic team!
I've been waiting a looong time to see what people think of this one, and we are unbelievably proud of how it turned out!! HAVE FUN!

The game is only like 10 hours long btw. It's okay to have AAA games be that length.

“If [wealthy, powerful people] can get us to accept that the future’s already settled, AI is already here, the end is already here, then we will create that for them. My most daring idea is to refuse.” — @tressiemcphd.bsky.social
polymarket should be beyond illegal. all involved in its creation and upkeep deserve agony for the rest of their days
Calling AI "slop" has been one of the most effective instances of the public rebranding a product and it pisses them off.
a bunch of gaming video essays I like!

So excited to announce that Strange Scaffold is sponsoring the Frosty Games showcases this year.
The degree to which ANZ teams go above and beyond to not just contribute to the medium, but also better the ecosystem of making games, can't be overstated!
Easy to see why, holy moly
Hearing this in @mobute.bsky.social’s best Delco accent. “Ehwh, yer goin’a Philaderphia?”
Right, back to bed with me then
MAN
Nothing is surprising about the US starting another war. Nothing is more dangerous to Earth and mankind at large than the United States and its complete and utter failure to curtail the worst excesses of humanity. The US oligarchy and its influence on global politics must end.
