I discovered yesterday, in a mass email sent at 3am, that I will not be receiving the roughly £40,000 that my publisher Unbound/Boundless owes me for pre-order sales of The Paradox Paradox. The payment for five years of work, gone. #unboundless

Even spam is getting enshittified. This one's trying to open the Necronomicon or something.

We’re introducing a new layer of verification on Bluesky — a user-friendly, easily recognizable blue check. In addition to account verification issued by Bluesky, we're also introducing Trusted Verifiers. Select independent organizations can verify accounts directly.

I appreciate Benjamin

Thank god this is finally a thing!

good to see Bluesky is getting verified blue ticks 👍 But crucially these won’t be for any old account, only notable ones. Interestingly they’ll also let orgs verify accounts too

If you are on the publishing/funding side of games Remember this GDC the nicest thing you can do is just admit you are not funding anything before taking the meeting You can still catch up, see what is out there but be honest about it. Leading people on to save face or keep up appearances is evil

We need a "no in and out" policy for bluesky

this shit never gets easier, man

Todd Phillips, of all people, was right about this. Unless you are a Warner Bros Discovery shareholder, whether or not Mickey 17 or Joker 2 or anything else recoups its budget is not relevant to you!

Sad to hear of the passing of Simon Fisher-Becker. RIP He was superb as Dorium and other roles that played.

It’s important for folks in their 40s/50s/60s to realize that some of us should get a measles booster. I did a few years ago

It has come to my attention that it’s been a while since we talked about that time we adopted a very old hamster who was expected to die imminently but then he went completely bald and lived two more years looking like this
