wikipedia turns 25 today! the last unenshittified major website! backbone of online info! triumph of humanity! powered by urge of unpaid randos to correct each other! somehow mostly reliable! "good thing wikipedia works in practice, because it sure doesn't work in theory" - old wiki adage
What this underscores is the sheer danger of market consolidation in gaming. While companies like Valve and Epic do not legally have to carry a game, to not do so is functionally a death knell for that game on the PC; Santa Ragione has said it threatens the studioβs continued existence. This is not equivalent to a theater chain declining to carry a movie; this is two (mostly one) American companies more or less deciding what content is commercially viable across most of the world, in ways that are somehow more vague and opaque than the MPAA. This is a hegemony of American prudishness, applied globally, incoherently, unevenly, and unseriously. Anybody responsible for these decisions would be vaporized in seconds by a Pinku movie from the 1970s, and if a single person in this chain of command has an arts degree they are pretending they donβt for the sake of an ill-defined idea of business. Horses cannot be the ceiling for what is artistically and commercially possible in games, because otherwise we are in deep horseshit.
Chris Person takes a look at Horses, "the indie game that is too scandalous for either Valve or Epic, is only beyond the pale if you're not familiar with any other art form" (quoted from the article blurb).

Very much love the idea of this new Linux OS, Kazeta.
"An operating system that brings the console gaming experience of the '90s to modern PC hardware and games: insert cart, power on, play."

"but crime is a real issue, people are worried about crime and you have to take that seriously"
No you don't! If people are getting more scared about crime while crime is happening less frequently, it's a made up issue and you should make a point of yelling that all the time

Here's a closer look at how physics facilitate the animations. I don't animate the skeleton directly - I only animate "goals" (solid purple) for body parts (faded purple), which use physical forces to move to their goals.

I made a website. It's called "one million chessboards." It has a million chessboards on it.

my latest newsletter piece: on how the Democrats' posture toward trans rights signals a fundamental misunderstanding of how politics work
A graph showing the number of people named Miles born per hour. It has grown exponentially since 1980.
In children per year, the US birth rate is at an all-time low, but in Milesβ per hour itβs at an all time high.
This is out today on Steam and I can't recommend it highly enough. What a game! If you liked Return of the Obra Dinn, you'll love The Roottrees Are Dead.
I'm going to haul this one out again, about why it's not a great idea to idolize creative people, or indeed anyone, and certainly not me, because today really is the day to be reminded about that, isn't it:

Why do video games cost so much to make these days? A recent NYT article pinned bloated budgets on the graphical arms race, but that's only a small part of the equation. The real problem? Rampant mismanagement.
