Tech support: "Make sure to use Chrome, and don't use Apple devices because Safari doesn't always work well with the website." You mean your website is broken. Got it.

Reading This Is Strategy by Seth Godin, and came across this part that says a system has feedback loops, and they are sometimes optimized to slow things down. They are not designed to undo things that are already happening.

A friend whose daughter has the same condition as my son received this notice. Feels like the administration is laughing at us right now. #disabilityrights #doge #ada #ableism

When the weather is biting cold, and you want to curl up with a good game, do you tend to play a new game (or at least a game you haven't played before), or a comfort game, one that you come back to again and again?

Are you a parent concerned about the games your children play? How do you find out which games are appropriate or inappropriate for them to play?

Don't like this? Delete the game and never play it again. Tell your friends to delete it and never play it again. It's the only way they'll get it. The repercussions - either if you keep playing or don't - will echo long and loudly.

When things get tough/unsteady/chaotic, there are some who will provide convenient scapegoats. It's tempting to believe them: having focus on who to blame gives us a (false) sense of control. But it's just another form of attention stealing. Focus instead on who is pointing fingers, and why.

We're stoked to introduce the 'No Gen AI' seal for indie games! Indie devs can use it on their game's store page to assure potential players that their game was made without the use of Generative AI. You can grab it from the Polygon Treehouse website:- www.polygon-treehouse.com/no-gen-ai-seal

Hey, #GameArtists, can someone tell me what is happening? I basically took this cheek blush, applied Gaussian blur, and now the blurred version feels hard to look at, like it hurts my eyes. Is there a name for this effect? #GameDev

Little kids ask questions about EVERYTHING, and it can be sometimes be exhausting. As grown-ups, we should not only foster that kind of insatiable curiosity in our kids, but we should also remember to notice things and be curious about them as well.

Every so often, I think about a conversation in which a friend expressed how angry he gets when he is interrupted by advertising, how each minute of ads is an attempt to steal his attention, often towards things he doesn't want. Usually when encountering so-called "free" games that do just that.

I find myself daydreaming about building my own handheld terminal, one that I can attach to my arm or wrist. But that isn't owned by some other company harvesting and selling my data. I just want something that lets me do techy things without the abusive microaggressions Big Tech have normalized.

What games are you playing with your family these days? I've been playing the Pokemon TCG with my son periodically, and my daughter usually suggests Uno, although I try to introduce other games such as Level 10 and Ringmaster: Welcome to the Big Top.

If you work for a company that used to proclaim that they were proud of their diverse workforce and inclusive culture and how vital it all is for innovation and such but has since done an about face and suddenly decided that DEI isn't so vital or important after all, what do you do?
