iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Really funny how phones now have automated robot answering machines to answer suspected robot spam calls. No human intervention required. Phones now existing as robot PvP devices completely divorced from benefitting society in any way. It rules.

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.

video games as a whole make hundreds of billions of dollars a year and apparently somehow nobody can make any money on them or pay anyone to make them

Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave is a game that asks, "what if you got to compete in the Olympics and hang out in the Olympic village, but also Alucard was there?"

It is my privilege to share Katya's (@katyar.bsky.social) last Gamescom preview for Pixel Byte of Cassette Beasts 2002! It was a delight to have her cover what is shaping up to be a better sequel in every respect.

Cassette Beasts 2002 First Look: Promising Monster Collecting

Taking a first look at Cassette Beasts 2002 at Gamescom, it appears that they are refining what works and doing away with what doesn't.

A strangely funny Gamescom experience is reading a tweet insisting GTA6 is the "crown achievement of humanity" and then getting to visit, like, the Cologne Cathedral in the same day

Beast Spotlight #4: Reapurr Element: Beast Reapurrs exist as a naturally occurring population control in Nodnol, culling beast numbers when they grow too large. In their immature states, they aren’t able to harvest most souls - only miniscule beasts, or perhaps large vegetables.

It's a lot to explain to non-game industry savvy friends & family why there's suddenly enormous layoffs in an industry that makes so much money, but a succinct summary is, "if an industry makes a lot of money, there's even *more* money to be made by coming in from the outside and dismantling it"

Polls show that Labour lost nearly a quarter of their voters between 2024>2026 to Greens, and that 1 in 5 of those who made that jump did so *primarily* because of Labour's declining stance on trans rights. As well as being morally reprehensible, supporting transphobia is a big vote loser for them!
