In Moves of the Diamond Hand, sequel to the IGF award-winning Betrayal at Club Low from cult-favourite Cosmo D, the vibes so far are transcendent.

A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!
God help us.

New Blog: Let Games Die
"Let Code Die is rooted in a trust that if we have code that we like and we lose it, we can write it again. What would it mean to trust ourselves as game developers, designers, critics and players in the same way?"

which is perhaps unfair. not much can compete with gay sex. not even half-life. definitely not skyrim. but every modder has to make this choice somehow, every day. really it's a miracle any mods get made when you could be having gay sex instead

Israel has passed the death penalty solely for Palestinians, enforced through military courts with a 96% conviction rate.
Israeli Minister Ben Gvir popped champagne.
The Israeli government is raising a toast to genocidal apartheid. The UK government is arming and funding it.
I think about "Barack Obama remains the President of the United States. He has clearly abolished Constitutional term limits, and God knows what else with it." far too often.
I am standing and leaning over, with my Cat Columbo is fully just laying / hanging out on my back / shoulder area
I am sitting at a desk with a blanket on, looking at my phone. Columbo is splayed over the entire lower half of my body, his head resting on my chair's arm rest.
I am sitting at a raised counter top looking at my phone. Columbo is fully splayed out, belly up on my legs. I am holding him in place.

Fortunately, wargaming has given me extensive experience of situations where wars spiral out of control to the point your war aims are just to return to the status quo ante. That's how I know what these guys need to do now is load from an old autosave.
Its v. v. possible that this will be one of the best games ever made and won't YOU sound cool when you're the first one to tell your friends about it
every negative review of marathon is like ah the narrative doesnt work and the treadmill of the extraction shooter feels empty. but every positive review of marathon is like i hate myself and what i have become. i feel my tolerance for hate growing with every round. i hate you for making me kill you
A picture of a hardback book on a washed blue background. The title is Next Level: Making Games That Make Themselves, by Mike Cook.
I've written a book! Next Level: Making Games That Make Themselves is the story of procedural generation - the tech behind games like Minecraft and Dwarf Fortress. It's about how it works, the games that use it, and the art and magic behind it.

Jesus this is insightful banger after banger.
all will rise is handing back Microsoft money & pledging @nogamesforgenocide.com — it’s a difficult thing to do when funding and attention are scarce commodities for indies like us, but we hope more of our fellow devs and indie studios will join us in taking a stand 🔥

Cis people need to pay attention to the way they communicate this. They freely admit that after all of their research, they came up with zero evidence that HRT was harmful.
Then they banned it anyway, claiming their inability to find a reason is a reason in of itself.

key moment in this talk
Call of Duty as the mimetic language of imperial violence.
There's obvs been a lot of trading of imagery between the modern Millitary and modern millitary video games, but theres something about this that feels particularly notable / nauseating.
Call of Duty 4 tried to "look like" war, and now war is trying to look like Call of Duty.
This just makes me sad
sorry I like daylight savings, it's a nice reminder that time is arbitrary and we can just change the numbers when we feel like it
