Just wrapped up a rewatch of HBO's WATCHMEN series (Lindelof), and let's just say it's (a) still very good, and (b) hits differently looking at the USA in the year of our lord 2025. (If you've seen the show you know specifically what this gif refers to)

i signed this! thank you to the organizers 🫧 writers with published books & people who work in publishing, including agents, librarians, booksellers, illustrators, & more, y’all can also sign the letter here: lithub.com/against-ai-a...

Keep up the good work, everybody. www.wired.com/story/genera...

New York Based Game Designers: You have a week left to apply for a $60,000 artist grant with the NYS artist fellowship. At least one of these grants would be great for a TTRPG

For the first time in a while I'll be tabling at a convention! I'll be sitting with the LillyPad Arts group for AniRevo 2025 in Vancouver. Here's what I'll be bringing with me!

Are you Vancouver developer with an indie project to show? Vancouver Game Garden is BACK this year. This time at the Roundhouse with 2 days of games + speakers! Submit your game! 💚 vangamegarden.com/submit.html

Good deal for a game that (I think) is also pretty good!

Sum up an entire game on one screenshot.

Uhhhhh...

Ok silly question I think I already know the answer to but I'm going to ask anyway: do you need to have played/completed DEATH STRANDING to make sense of the sequel? (I assume: yes, insofar as you can "make sense" of any Kojima's games)

I don't know who this is but she sounds very smart and I think we should listen to her.

To each their own, and no judgment at all to anyone who enjoyed it, but I can't think of a recent movie that has disappointed me more than 28 YEARS LATER. What a weird and incongruous tone in comparison to the previous two films. Just an odd, uneven film. I honestly do not understand the praise.

Hey, everybody! Adios is 45% off! That's the lowest it's ever gonna go! If you want to play a game that 94% of people love, you should definitely check it out! It's just $10! store.steampowered.com/app/1271400/...

TLD players literally doing the Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade-style Leap of Faith, dropping sticks to reveal the invisible bridge crossing.

PSA for TLD players! You might have noticed after this week's Xbox update the planks allowing you to cross the bridge between Broken Railroad Region and the Far Territory appear to be missing! They are, in fact, still there, but invisible. 🫥 The team will hotfix this ASAP, within the next 24 hours.

This is extremely important. Generative AI is not a tool developed to advance for human knowledge and understanding. It is a tool explicitly developed in service of corporate greed. AI’s core utility is to undercut the cost of paying workers and thereby increase profit margins for a select few.

Canada has a huge economy relative to our population. I'm happy to see us commit to 5% GDP spend on NATO where 1.5-2% is on security-related infrastructure and nation-building projects (ex. more ports, rail, etc). We should also spend big on housing & improved social programs. It's not either/or.

my dudes there's no such thing as "too late" to regulate AI, that's a fake idea. AI models aren't untouchable data gods, they're algorithms hosted in cloud storage. Saying we can't regulate AI is like saying we can't deplatform Child P*rn bc "it's already out there". Like, 1s and 0s can be deleted

Hear, hear. Fuck genAI, the companies that make it, and the users that exploit it, to hell.
