The first law in England banning homosexuality was created in 1533, during the reign of Henry VIII. It only became legal again in England in 1967. That's why we have #PrideMonth Come and find us at #PompeyPride today, on Southsea Common!

Tattoos should make you more employable, because it shows you can sit in one place for hours while tiny needles are jammed into your skin and that's what every corporate meeting I've ever been in has felt like.

People and media often say Balatro was made by 'one guy'. I feel like that unfortunately may be stoking the flames of this David vs. Goliath narrative a tiny bit No it was not 'one guy', look at the dang in-game credits

It’s incredibly noticeable how often ‘and an army of outsourcers outside America and Western Europe’ is left out of these team sizes. That’s the part I find real uncomfortable.

I avoid using the term "solo developer" because I like to celebrate collaboration and the magic of people coming together. And here is the Starter Pack for this "solo developer and his 9 friends" if you like that idea too. bsky.app/starter-pack...

Mario Kart World without remapping sets the worst accessibility example for launch titles. It tells others that system level remapping is enough — a fix for incomplete games, not a feature for games to rely on. Games have unique remapping needs, and in-game button prompts must match actual inputs.

Seeing a nasty hacking scam going around that targets game workers - where compromised accounts ask you to test out a game, but it's a keylogger. Exact sort of thing so many indies would ask, but it's a scam - don't download it! (Hope Jupiter and others get their accounts back soon!)

If anyone has a #Switch 1, in Lite or Large form, I'll be looking for one for my kid's Xmas present I think! Time to update him from his 2DS. Stick drift is fine, I'll replace the sticks myself. Around North Cornwall please! Don't fancy trying to ship anything.

Great news! The speech to text transcription option in Switch 2 Gamechat, where you see a transcript of your chat with friends, doesn't censor swearing by default. Accesibility win for disabled people being allowed to read the words fuck, shit, and cunt.

PSA: Deathloop is free for the next week. Grab it. Play it. I've seen a lot of people hating on it and I think they're all wrong. Dishonored meets Outer Wilds in an alt-universe super-science 70s world.

I work on an ultrawide, so there was no way this wasn’t happening. Also…. It’s TRON, it deserves that treatment.

“I would like to cure brain cancer. I think that's not particularly controversial.” Be that as it may, the NIH terminated that scientist's grant. Here's a huge survey of the 2,500 grants that NIH has killed or delayed...so far. Gift link: nyti.ms/43Jz1yJ

Because Joe Rogan is Joe Rogan, pseudoarchaeology has once again come up on his platform. This time it's the fake mummified aliens from Peru. Pseudoarch is damaging to heritage in many different ways, and the fake aliens are a stark example of that. Rogan platforming this fuels the damage.
