If you're Israeli and aren't in the streets protesting this, may you never know a moment of peace for the rest of your life.

Most moral army in the world.

Must be cool to be a struggling Microsoft employee forced to live in an expensive city near the office and see that your CEO is paid $70M+ a year to do nothing at all. Also if you just talk to an AI app about a podcast, you don't like podcasts.

I've decided that when I die I want to be reincarnated as a failson. It seems really easy, and I'd probably believe I deserved every second, third and fourth chance.

Spending all my money on renting offices in expensive cities and a CEO whose compensation is 125 times that of a developer. Someone who understands the economy please help me - my videogames business is dying.

Been back in Scotland for a few days and the weather has just been ridiculously nice.

Horror! At The Genocide

Scotland is even more beautiful from the air. I'll never understand people who say rows of turbines are ugly.

Steam should offer this or something like it - indies need every $ they can get, especially in a world with review bombing and refund exploitation for shorter games.

Happy Square Root Day! 5/5/25 Or, for my American friends: 5/5/25

Dumped my 1200 day streak over a year ago when it was rumoured that Duolingo had started cutting staff and using AI instead. Of course, at that time the CEO denied such a thing was happening. Prick. Hope the owl shits all over his car.

Dumbass guy seeking a clever girl...only one product will do.

Killing all gaming media on the eve of a big console launch and a few months before what will likely be the biggest video game of all time is smart and well thought-out business from people that definitely do not spend all day eating their own shit.

new Blendo game? new Blend game!! youtu.be/qUMPe-hns_Q

For every 5-10 developers you lay off, you should have to fire a C-suite exec too. Insane how much money some CEOs get paid and yet all their amazing genius appears to achieved is head a company which cancels projects and lays people off???

Game studios: YOU SHOULD HIRE BEN

The Order 1886 walked so that Clair Obscur could run. I will not be elaborating on this statement.

I know it's not the most important thing here but this story also corroborates one of my biggest theories about these tech guys: they do zero hours of work in a day. They do no work no matter how much they claim to work 14 hours a day. They're just on their phones.

I hope Carney is the PM in a week's time because the realistic alternative is a nightmare, but I'll be voting with my conscience for the NDP. Only the NDP and Greens even have the spine to call the genocide in Gaza what it is, and promise taxes not tax cuts for the rich. I hope we move left in 2030.

Character movement in Clair Obscur is making me laugh out loud throughout the prologue. This shit is amazing

When I give someone their annual evaluation and they look me dead in the eye and say "I can tell an AI didn't write this" 🙏

Liz Truss visited the Queen right before she died. JD Vance visited the Pope right before he died. If you see Marine Le Pen near Sir Cliff Richard, tackle her.

There's tons of reasons to despise Rowling: you don't need to invent more. She was pro-union but to say she single-handedly funded the movement is absolute nonsense. Wouldn't normally engage but this is straight up misinformation and we have to be better than that.

Just unfollowed a game dev whose entire online persona appears to be "phew this thing that's really popular is probably not very good. I didn't try it but alas, how will I ever find a good game again?" Let some joy into your life.
