I'm getting more sad about getting laid off. My work means so much to me. I'm a really good reporter. I've been getting scoops every single week lately, while also doing in-depth, award-winning reporting. I have good ideas! New email: [email protected] www.polygon.com/23776996/bar...

What is the lifespan of software? What if you make software that's silly and full of whimsy? Will people remember it? Anyway, here's a video someone recently posted of “Good Luck, Babe!” by Chappell Roan performed through the composer feature in Mario Paint, a game released on Super Nintendo in 1992

Lots of little pockets of optimism just now. So many people don't want to stand idly by but step up and make a difference. Great to be part of this small collective pulling together ideas for more effective, useful tech policy in the UK that's grounded in practical experience. More from us soon.

Okay, I think we need a silent film refresher because my replies have been weird: 1. Censorship was not okay and was used to protect institutional power under the guise of "save the children" 2. Heroines were considerably tougher than their sound counterparts, regularly partaking in the action.

I have spent some more time with my Steam Deck recently and have finally managed to set up some good emulation options on it. My first problem was the battery, turns out my battery level was reporting incorrectly - but I followed the steps online to drain and reset it and it's working like a dream.

The Beekeeper's Picnic by @jabbage.bsky.social is just the most wonderful thing. It's a Sherlock Holmes love story, set in his retirement village of Fulworth, and it's so utterly heartwarming. There's an incredible cast, and I adore everything about it! buried-treasure.org/2025/04/the-...

If you have the AUDACITY to play video games on "easy" or "story" mode... I want you to know that I think that's a perfectly acceptable way to enjoy a video game that you paid for because you're supposed to enjoy your favorite pastime any way you like. Real life is hard enough. Enjoy your hobby.👍

Amidst all the Blue Prince buzz this week, I'm feeling a stronger pull toward Promise Mascot Agency. A management sim about making a bunch of freaks happy, thwarting a corrupt mayor, and driving this sick little truck around.
