Thinking of the young Chinese woman who reported being SAed by a male student at her university (which was captured on CCTV) to the uni administration, the man was not expelled but given a warning. She took it to court but lost her case, but she graduated and went on to study in Spain this year.

Don’t call layoffs and closures stuff like “reset” or “refresh” or “rejuvenation” or “rejigger” or “reshuffle” unless you’re trying to get clapped.

Anyone else finding their Steam store page is taking a while to review? It's been a week for us (OK admittedly it says 3-5 business days but this is day 5). Also wondering if there's a big influx of new games/clones due to new "models" as it were? Those must take up a lot of Valve time to review.

I’m at the @untitledgamesevent.bsky.social right now, and apparently the Rijksmuseum has nearly 400 boardgames in its collection?! I had no idea, I would’ve loved to have seen some of these on display (cc @whilhorst.bsky.social)

Just got home from the @untitledgamesevent.bsky.social weekender, a 3-day event of talks, showcases and workshops, it’s incredible to see this event and community for experimental games grow at such speed within months! Congrats to my friends at UGE who put in tremendous effort to make it happen!!

This is a great example of why you should disable Steam's dumb language filters. Most people are only seeing a random visual novel they never heard about with a couple of reviews. It has over 10,000 reviews. These filters do nothing except lock you in inside a bubble.

Noticing a small trend of horror-adjacent games whose main hook is demonizing women in love, with some games quite literally turning a woman into a monster obsessively terrorizing their male love interest (popular example being MiSide)😅 Not new to other forms of media but seems new to games

I finished reading her latest book last week, it’s even more jarring to me now that some of the ill minded comments came from people who also read this exact book in which she pretty much covered every question that would arise in this situation, and the ones she didn’t answer probably no human can

Savage.
"Devolver and its board are seeking shareholder approval to delist, believing becoming a private company is in the best interests of Devolver, its employees, its partners, and its Shareholders as a whole," a spokesperson for the company told GamesIndustry.biz.

"We’ve made an announcement about this.

"The purpose is simple and positive. Being private will allow the Devolver Digital team, especially the finance, legal, and executive team, to singularly focus on the long-term health of the company and less on satisfying the requirements of the public market, which have nothing to do with being a successful game publisher."

Speaking of changing lives – last weekend I had the pleasure to be one of the judges for a game dev contest for Chinese university students. Of the 20 nominated games that presented at the competition at least half were presented by women and a few nominated games were made by women-only teams.

This is one of the most wholesome things that happened recently, even I feel inspired by Prof. Wang. I read somewhere that she gave herself 5 years to indulge in maths and pivot if nothing comes out of it. It’s such a simple but powerful decision, which I will try to adopt for my own dreams too
