Rewriting the pedal board. The need to play finally got stronger than the annoyance of having to put this all back together.

Bandmates, we just released Pikselnesia’s dating-meets-rhythm game Afterlove EP on PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X, and PlayStation 5 🤘 This is a tale of finding oneself, and is the swansong of beloved Mohammad Fahmi, the late creator of Coffee Talk. Trailer 👇

i played more keep driving and am only liking it more and more. saw a couple of endings which were satisfying, but these games are always about the journey, and the journey is great. somewhat nostalgic as someone who hit their late teens/early 20's around the time the game is set.

This is grossly irresponsible from the Daily Telegraph. They are seeking to create conflict and divide the community. An urgent investigation is required and sanctions should be considered.

This is why I’ve railed against AI for years, as I’ve been seeing my students’ abilities to create, critically think, analyze, weigh evidence, write analytically all wither away in this zombification trend. They’re creating the permanent underclass.

Just heard that the Head of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation described the phrase ‘illegally occupied Palestinian Territories’ as an "antisemitic expression". Does he realise he just called the International Court of Justice antisemitic? WTF happened to Australia's establishment?
