I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

The upcoming election in Canada could not be more consequential for our country. One thing for sure. Poilievre would sell us out to his right wing buddies in the US. We need a Prime Minister that will fight for Canada and Canadians.

Seriously, more people need to know about intersex people. A lot of people think way too black and white. But the real world is a lot more complex and nuanced to fit neatly into just two boxes and this is a good example of that coming from biology itself.

The Department of Government Efficiency isn't interested in efficiency. Or transparency, or cutting costs. It's real goal is to destroy the federal civil service. In other words, regime change. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Come to my #GDC2025 talk on Thursday 3:30pm and learn how we made one of the best MR games out there 🙂 schedule.gdconf.com/session/char...

hey, as an fyi to folks living in pa: this bill, SB.213, was introduced to the PA senate on Feb. 4th. Please be vocal about opposition and make it known that we won't stand for it. If you're any shred of an ally, especially cis people, fucking speak up.

BREAKING: We are suing DOGE and the Office of Personnel Management to stop the brazen and illegal data sharing of federal employee data with the “government efficiency” group.

A Dutch LGBTQ ally and activist hopes to turn the Netherlands into a haven for transgender refugees from the US. He asks people to provide stories he can use to pressure Dutch and European politicians. trans-express.lgbt/p... #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA 1/2

With the new year, we reorganized some of the games brussels coworking space. And we had to ask ourselves: do those office chairs spark joy?

Huge shout out to @henrystockdale.com for incredibly thorough reporting here. Some of the best in Upload's 10-year history. Crucially it doesn't just lump all the issues at one particular door but gives time to each of the unique complexities facing Quest devs. Top stuff!

With growing concerns about declining sales and discoverability, UploadVR spoke with nearly two dozen VR studios to discuss the current state of shipping VR games on Quest. Our full report:

Worked on a short game for #GGJ2025 about juggling very talkative bubbles in MR by actually blowing on them. try it here-> tovanbo.itch.io/bubble-juggle

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people. Good trade.

Fact checking is not censorship. It's an essential public service. Disinformation kills. Period.

Some news! We've recently been working on a new project called The Infernal Parade. It's a bit of a spiritual successor to Clockwinder, but for consoles/pc! Build factories out of your own clones to cook food for an endless parade of horrors.

Back in 2021, PMG reported on the unseen games industry crunch taking place at outsourcing studios in SE Asia. Since then, the companies we looked at have continued to work on some of the biggest games in the world, without any push to improve the conditions of the artists doing that work. (1/7)
