Even if it were only new games - After Valves cut and refunds $100k is barely break even for a single dev working for 9 months on a game. How many many games made $500k to a million? Well if the number was good it would probably have been the graph. 😬
A google maps view of the area around the Strait of Hormuz, with crude markup showing the 4 steps to successfully clearing the strait: 1. Build up speed 2. Hit Trampoline 3. Cool backflip 4. Nail the landing The boat is illustrated using a clip art yacht, and the trampoline is also just kind of floating there.
wait. wait. everyone hold on. i've solved it
DW: IRGC says it struck AWS sites in the UAE to disrupt what it claims are U.S. military and intelligence-linked operations hosted there. For the first time, data centers have become the target of a military drone strike.
I spent 4 months trying to answer a simple question: has this book been translated into my language?
Turns out no one tracks this. Not ISBN registries. Not Amazon. Not Google. Not libraries.
So I built a tool that crosses four databases to piece it together.

I sadly missed the bandcamp friday D:
The Baltic states and Finland are increasingly considering the use of natural landscapes as an element of defense on NATO’s eastern flank. The idea is not only to build traditional fortifications, but also to make the terrain itself less passable for a potential advancing force.

Good Lord, Trump seems to have forgotten that in war, your enemy gets a vote. If the Iranians read this, they will understand he is terrified and desperate, and probably speed up the mining of the straits. Worst war leader in US history.

I get accused of using gen AI in my work lol
If you work in a creative industry, you *must* read this
“If you were a man, every one of those negatives would be in the positive column.” - My first performance review in games included as negatives: “personality is too big, too confident, asks too many questions”
Yes, there’s a double standard
Everybody is looking at Hormuz. What you should be watching is Malacca Strait. All red symbols are tankers... more about this in the next few days
One of the toughest conversations and yet an important one to have. Yesterday, survivors of sexual assault by RU forces spoke out and presented their documentary TRACES in NYC
Woman of 75 years of age shared she was continuously assaulted for months, others were assaulted for years in captivity.

hi guys I know I haven't been very active lately, and I don't talk about where I'm from often, but the government made some really scary announcements today so I thought I'd share to let everyone know what's happening. here are some posts from twt for context
Downloaded. Compressed. Shared.

All these comments saying they aren't necessarily the intended demographic... As a counterpart, I definitely am. I'm a 30-something, disabled, nonbinary trans man who paused my transition twice for reasons like this. For fear of losing community, fear of being alone, being "unlovable". This hits really fucking hard. The number of things I've gone to that are for "women and nonbinary people" and thought about "what happens when I get to the point that I consistently pass as male? Do I no longer belong there? Will I have to once again justify my existence, my presence in this place I am meant to feel safe in?
I've been told, to my face, that I'm not a game developer, or that my 14+ years of writing and making narrative games means nothing because there's "no audience for the games about trans masculinity you want to focus on now."
Comments like these are what matter to me.

A predatory journal slapped a scientist’s name on a paper he never wrote, then invoiced him €499 to remove it.
