Steam is introducing a feature that allows users to search for games based on accessibility features. The Steamworks backend now lets developers list specific accessibility features in the edit store section. (Read more: Game Developer)

Was it so hard for them to just press the “fork” button and keep the projects linked?

NYT actually published this sentence, which asks us to take baseless moral panic bullshit seriously as a reasonable position. Supporters of the Holocaust considered Jews to be subhuman saboteurs of German society, too. So fucking what??

Honestly I really want this

An interesting side effect of the console launch is... The Steam version has been selling a lot more copies? Unexpected but appreciated! ☺️

Whenever "gender criticals" organise a protest it's thirty people max. And that includes the actual Nazis that turn up to support them. This rally for trans rights was organised in a couple of days and there are protests like this in cities and towns over the whole country

If only there were a term for a system where the seller sets the price to maximize profit and buyers get to make a decision on whether or not they’re willing to pay that price based on the value the goods bring them.

🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read. He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:

What a depressing summary in that one sentence.

Long live the Haitian revolution! France must pay! www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

1. Americans don’t have “1st Amendment Rights” when they’re in foreign countries. 2. This is Hasbara. He’s talking about Hasbara.

The fact that vibe coding is really a "thing" but the industry still fails junior developers on a chronic basis is telling of where we're willing to invest resources at.

Literal “keeping up with the joneses” destructive behaviour.

Ubisoft open-sourced their Colorblind Tool, Chroma. This is good news for anyone wanting to integrate more accessibility into their games repo: github.com/ubisoft/Chroma article: news.ubisoft.com/en-gb/articl... #gamedev #acessibility

On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked, "If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?" Allow our scaled diagram to explain...

Dumb posts like these should remind us to be humble, because they show that no matter how rich and successful you are, how big a system you’ve built and how complicit you can be in the downfall of human civilization, you can still voice opinions with the intellectual value of a wet fart.

Here’s the thing. A lot of this could be dismissed as mere speculation, since it relies on a leftist interpretation of what “correction” means here. But given the lack of transparency, the rapid, nonconsetual deployment- what else can we do?

Guess what's coming out April 16th on Playstation, Xbox, and Switch?? www.eastasiasoft.com/games/Moving...

I played this game over and over again, on a monochrome display, and only ever got as far as solving the puzzle of the sewers. But it was so atmospheric, I just had to keep doing it.

Repost with your favorite James Bond (wrong answers only)

the choice of music is immaculate.

I mean, at mischief, our goal is to pay people $70k/yr base salary on our next game, fully remote, 35 hour max work weeks (maaaybe a little extra overtime if we're behind on a deadline, but we'd want to figure out a way to compensate for it) + health benefits for people who need it

New season of Black Mirror is out, so it's time to share the tweet:

More in No, Other People: New poll: “America would be better off if more people worked in manufacturing.” • 80% of Americans agree • 20% disagree “I would be better off if I worked in a factory.” • 25% of Americans agree • 73% disagree • 2% currently work in a factory

To me, a Geller-essay would be the highest praise. But can a game be “Jacob Bait”? One designed with intent (or aspiration) to become part of a Jacob Geller-style video essay on The Meaning of Loneliness In Space or How It Feels To Lose a Twin? Could Geller-esque become a thing, like Cozy Games?
