GDC's 2026 IGF winner calls out U.S. cruelty at home and abroad
Skeksis saying "The only mercy I have left to offer..."
Skeksis saying "... Is death."
This got darker and darker.
screenshot of press release from four nations with their logos: Tlaโamin Nation; Homalco Nation; K'รณmoks Nation; Klahoose Nation. March 11, 2026 Chiefs from four First Nations communities are urging the public to please approach Aaron Gunn with no caution whatsoever. He is completely harmless, though momentarily unsettled by the alarming possibility that someone might acknowledge the land before a meeting. Yesterday on social media, the MP appeared to crash out and demand to speak to the manager of land acknowledgements, a position that observers confirm does not exist. Chiefs whose territories make up the riding had two words for the MP - Chillax, Bud. Land acknowledgements have never seized private property, cancelled a mortgage, repossessed a pickup truck, or altered a single title deed anywhere in Canada. They are simply people recognizing the history of the place where they are standing. No one is going anywhere. Canada will survive the brief moment of honesty. Until then, Chiefs across the region continue to reassure the public that land acknowledgements have not, to date, resulted in any land back. Hegus John Hackett, Tlaโamin Nation Chief Darren Blaney, Homalco Nation Chief Nicole Rempel, K'รณmoks Nation Chief Kevin Peacey, Klahoose Nation

I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent.
State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes.

Yay. $100k is bankruptcy for pretty much everyone. But itโs ok cos they made steam $30k before they folded.
I fucking love my job. #sounddesign #gamedev

The only gdc I recommend going to:
- free attendance
- free sunflower seeds for everyone
- you can meet rodents
- squeak
I'm going to need to see a list of talks.
"Scope creep: Building your first burrow."
"Publishers: Do they deserve the 50/50 cheerio split?"
Hey, I'm working on a capsule art for the game I'm making and wanted to hear some opinions on the sketches I made.
I'm having a hard time choosing which one I should use
I like 3 the best out of these: Visually striking but also super readable at a quick glance.
Gonna repost for reach.
Haven't used it myself yet but recently saw this one: bsky.app/profile/prot...

Hey all - @seanorr.bsky.social is suing Ken Sim. This is righteous and he has my full support. Lawsuits are expensive and Sean doesn't have big money behind him like the mayor does. Could you chip in? Every little bit helps. Here's the gofundme link - gofund.me/fd624ef0c
Get his ass, lol.

It's a masterclass in combining two leitmotifs and just a beautiful piece.

I would really love to see the Godot Quรฉbec community grow!
If you could share this starter pack (and give it a look),
it would really really help!!
Thank you!!

Happy birthday!
If I had a nickel for every time Franz Ferdinand was involved in the precursor events of a world war, Iโd have two nickels, which isnโt a lot, but itโs weird it happened twice
