Wyrmspace Tactics was chosen to receive a mentorship through the Draknek New Voices grant! Every step of the way, it really feels like this game is going to be a game real soon. If you like tile tactics and/or deckbuilders and/or having fun in space, get on it

It’s so revealing how the attempted bombing isn’t bigger news in the Australian media cycle. It’s so clear how it matters less if the attacker is white and the intended victims primarily Aboriginal. The hierarchy of racism in Australia is so transparent www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

Shortly after Concord's resurrection by fans, it looks like Sony might be about to kill it again: 'Due to worrying legal action we’ve decided to pause invites for the time being'
But as for the Concord fans, they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct. That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9nO...
