Just got out of watching Digger. That was a very strange film. I think I liked it? But I can see why it's had very mixed reviews.

Something AI is responsible for that doesn't get enough talk: How, when it scrapes a website to illegally steal everything on it, it uses up a ton of its bandwidth allotment, crashing it or racking up massive fees for site owners.

These interactive short stories are too bold and surprising to stay secret.

As a UI/UX Designer, Game UI Database is a unique and valuable resource that has helped me and many, many other game devs. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: it's disgusting that all the hard work Edd puts into it is treated as fuel for the garbage machines.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

DoorDash Spent $1.4 Million Trying to Stop Mamdani From Becoming Mayor. Now We Know Why.

In a wage-theft settlement, DoorDash now has to pay its workers around 100 times what it spent trying to beat Zohran Mam

Thinking about TF2's lore and how this single panel from an update page's Easter Egg beats the entirety of Overwatch's writing

A fake ad from an hidden page during TF2's War update which shows an image of Fred Astaire with the texts "TAKE THE LIFE OF FRED ASTAIRE"
"MAKE HIM PAY"
"ONLY $37.53"
The bottom of the ad shows a rocket launcher with the texts "WITH THIS ROCKET LAUNCHER"
"Transfer his fame to you!!!!!"
"PO Box 857, Saratoga NJ"

if you’re a games company that wants to survive it has been proven over and over again you need to do whatever it takes to stay away from being publicly traded. you’ll be turned into wood chips the moment it’s convenient.

I'm so excited by some of the games (particularly indie) coming out at the moment but it's really hard to shake the feeling that the throughline between the games that first made me fall in love with the medium and the new iterations of those games coming out now has been totally severed by capital.

If you care even a little bit about the future of this medium, you'd boycott Xbox and Microsoft. Even before you get to Microsoft's ongoing role in a genocide, they don't deserve your money.

We were watching the Wolverine Sentinel footage, and... We used to call these "high chair boss battles" because the boss looks like a baby in a high chair and you're on their tray. Now you have to see it, too 😅

screenshot from the new Wolverine game with him battling a giant Sentinel. Wolverine is on a platform that comes up to the sentinel's waist. The sentinel hands can come to rest on the platform.

A mock bad photoshop of Wolverine in the same pose from the trailer shooped into a stock image of a large baby boy sitting in a high chair and crying. Wolverine is standing on the high chair tray in a similar angle and presentation to the previous game trailer screenshot
