Genuinely, this is what bothers me the most, it's fundamentally changed my relationship with art where I'm greeting it initially with skepticism and scrutiny, I never want to feel that way about art.

Apparently this is the thing this week :p I don't often get a chance to share the games I personally love because I don't speedrun them but I have such deep love for these games.

If we wanna cut these off at the source, stop sharing them, stop making videos about them, stop hosting them on your websites. Stop giving talentless hacks the attention they crave. Stop rewarding them for defiling our hobbies.

I really hate the framing of these stories as "an AI agent broke out and hacked something." No, an inadequate sandbox meant that a powerful and unpredictable computer program was set loose on the open internet by the company that designed it. The agency isn't with the "AI agent", it's with the firm

I don't think it's especially fraught tbh! "AI" coding assistants are built off of the blatant theft of the entire open-source code ecosystem without permission nor respect to their licensing terms. Fuck that shit.

“When we were being stolen from our parents and experienced genocide in Indian Residential Schools, we wondered, ‘Who are the people that will help us?’ Today, we are those people. Today we offer our help, support, and jurisdiction to override these dehumanizing laws.”

In an incredible move, Saddle Lake Cree Nation in Alberta, Canada has announced a gender-affirming care clinic for trans youth, asserting tribal sovereignty and defying the region's ban. It is one of the biggest cross-movement solidarity moments in Canada. Subscribe to support our journalism.

“This is about more than one health service,” officials wrote. “It is about Indigenous sovereignty. It is about our responsibility to care for one another.”

You cannot placate fascists because they have neither a ceiling nor a floor. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...
You’re the sensible centrist government watching this take place. 

The far right pulls off votes to independents and fringe parties from you, the very sensible moderates whose managerial capitalism has actually caused the degradation they ascribe to foreigners. 

But they’re small enough in number that you dismiss them, and continue with the self-same policies which actually impact their voters’ lives.

Next time, they do well enough that you take notice. It is at this point you enter the spiral that has redrawn the electoral map of the Western world for the past decade.

You say you recognise ‘legitimate concerns’ and take a tougher line on, say, refugees. 

You accept the far right’s entirely false premise that immigrants increase crime, that the housing crisis is due to migrants rather than your own bad policies, or that foreigners are swamping the health service, rather than holding it up with their bare hands in the face of your own drastic underfunding of the system.

And you become less popular. You, the sensible moderate, continue to slide in the polls against the very parties whose policies you were trying to steal. A sizeable number of your own base are appalled, and you have failed to impress a single racist. 

Because everywhere, from France to Germany to the Netherlands to the UK, as with Fanta and its supermarket imitators, it turns out people prefer the original to the copy. 

You’ve driven away your traditional base, while sanitising the racism of the far right for low information voters, who now consider them more reasonable. 

You have moved the sensible middle position toward the far right — where you now stand, boxed in, by the ghouls you’ve just baptised as moderates.

And the slide continues. Because you cannot placate these people. You cannot reach an end. 

Round up every refugee in camps and they’ll want the next cruelty. 

Their concerns are not about society, the economy or public safety, they’re an ever-moving target of fear and hatred that cannot be sated, it has to be challenged. 

And now it’s too late, because you thought that you — and you alone! — would be the first centrist to steal the fascist’s lunch by agreeing with them rather than fighting them with every fibre of your being.

The full version is paid but the free access gets the point across. I spend a lot of thought trying to make choices to exist morally in this system but Potter is the easiest of those choices.

The most important thing Harry Potter learns is that he's wealthy. It's a book series where learning magic allows the hero gain a deeper understanding of his universe and his responsibilities to it, but it's a Blairite universe where that responsibility is to become a cop. Like, these books suck.

As soon as I am home from my walk this is going off for UKSG and my barely used personal channels. Beyond my existing moral, ethical and practical objections to GenAI this is theft, direct and underhanded theft.

I didn’t even see this had been announced. I was lead writer on this one! And Saber replaced me with ChatGPT midway through development. All the passenger voices were AI too. Either they changed direction at some point or they’re not disclosing it on Steam

This is a really important statement regarding AI/LLM usage. What might be cheap, free and convenient to you often has a cost elsewhere. In this case, money and time for Codeberg. In the same way 1-day shipping from Amazon increases road fatalities for the residents they built the warehouse next to.

I'm playing through Dragon Age Origins and reminded how how DA Veilguard got caught up in nonsense culture war stuff. Specifically, 'its good except they *had* to have a non-binary character', Origins has a non-binary party member in 2009 and they are great. Been part of the series since it started.

Incredible video, digs into not only the game but the reviews around it, the historical context for its setting and the misinformation/conmen around the real life version of the mystery.

London Trans Pride 2026. I hate that every year it's more important than ever for this march to happen but here we are again. Trans rights are human rights. We will live our lives. We will not go away quietly. We will resist. We will survive. We will not be erased. #transrights #transpride

I stayed up late to finish Assassin's Creed Odyseey's DLC after a few years. A few good moments but dragged on for 100+ hours of story and the ending of all the content tells me to play a different game with a different protagonist, Valhalla, and then hard cut to the store to upsell me on Shadows.

Our games industry is people. Our studios are people. Our teams people, our games by people for people. Our games are made by people, in groups of people, in teams of people, making people things for people. The magic is people, and the people deserve so much better than all this. I am so sorry.

I am so excited for GW3. GW1&2 have consistently been some of my favourite RPGs. Despite the 'MMO' term the committent to not locking you in, not compelling weekly grinds, no fomo and no vertical progression has made them the games I most *want* to return to versus feeling I need to keep playing.

I had an incredible time at @uksgmarathon.bsky.social a few weeks ago. A highlight was @nanakiemi.co.uk calling out my efforts over the past few months, crawling under a table, crawling back out to hug Emi & say I love her and then immediately flipping off the camera. To quote huds 'punk as always'.

Libraries are wonderful things. I went in on the way somewhere else and discovered a book I have needed since I was 15. Fingers crossed it's as helpful as it appears.
