This, for whatever reason, never posted, so here's this last week's weekly spotlight! I'm getting back to my weeky spotlight with last night's award-winning Circle of Seekers and Sinners from @badhouserpg.bsky.social! I'd always wanted to play Candela Obscura and what a treat it was!

Gonna be honest, gang. The moment you convince people you can make a machine who is conscious and capable of suffering, that is the moment you should be introduced to John Brown's blade for thinking you can sell that person.

You should hire Michele. They're one of a very small number of developers who, when they reach out, I say, "Yes, now what's the project?"

Alongside the awesome Hiromi Cota, I'm one of the devs for Scion 3E, a game where you play as mythical demigods. That will hit crowdfunding in 2027 and we're stoked about it, but I also developed lots for 2E. One is our beloved Rock Gods, which is exactly what it looks like:

Night. The House of Chimes - a tower which you might immediately think of as Big Ben - is adrift in the River Thames. It still seems to be keeping time. In the background, a large, alien building looms over the city of London.

Four days ago, a scientist was surprised by the news that Anthropic discovered new virus genes for making DNA. He says he’s been studying them for years—and feeding his data to Anthropic’s AI as part of his own research. Coincidence? Here’s my story. nyti.ms/3VSWayc

It's the same with the anti-vaxx freaks or the transphobic pedophiles or racists or whoever else wants to do evil in public. They feel oppressed by the possibility that they might be stupid or wrong, and so demand that the world deform to suit them. It is a weird attempt to exert power in the world.
