The games industry can be tough, especially now. One of its kindest and most talented people risks being separated from their cat without enough funds to get home. They’re nearly there, just need a little more to cover the unexpected. Please help if you can. www.gofundme.com/f/46nx8t-rel...

Are you a #gamedev that has been made redundant? Feeling like it's game over? Let's find each other and show our support. Post something that inspired you recently and together we can #PressStartAgain. I was inspired by this article on sub- creation. bigthink.com/mini-philoso...

I've honestly never really believed in any take on the "metaverse" until @playerunknown.net pitched me his version a while ago: it has to be a protocol. Closer to HTTP than a social media site. We'll see where this one goes. www.ign.com/articles/the...
