Belgian techno-queen Charlotte de Witte has deployed her debut LP, and it is, unsurprisingly, a banger. Even features Lisa Gerrard! Perfect for drifting sideways, taking on giant robots or finishing those chores. ★★★★

'The Nimrodian Club' story in particular, from Stewart Cowley and Charles Herridge's 'Great Space Battles'. Not only accompanied by a Peter Elson banger, but therein remains hope that the Musks and Thiels of this world tire of haunting us in favour of hunting each other for existential meaning.

South Scrimshaw: Nathan O. Marsh on Nature Docs, Solo Dev, and The Grand Budapest Hotel
Indie dev and artist Nathan O. Marsh has built one of the most distinctive new worlds in indie gaming almost entirely alone. South Scrimshaw, a hand-painted, free-to-play visual novel about alien whales and speculative ecology has quietly earned a following for its meticulous art and unconventional storytelling. With South Scrimshaw Part Two nearing release, I chatted with Marsh about the long road of a solo dev, the films and games that shaped his artistic sensibility, and the patience it takes to build a world this strange and beautiful by hand.

Just as a cautionary tale, be sure to double-check Steam pages at launch. Turns out the AI shenanigans were added after the initial listing, if the Wayback machine's snapshots are anything to go by.

Nice to see the ACCC taking on Microsoft for trying to grift Office 365 subscribers into a price hike to offset the unwanted inclusion of Copilot, and also willfully obscuring pricing and cancellation options in general. Sound familiar, Adobe users?
Why the ACCC is suing Microsoft
Tech giants have invested billions into AI – and are looking for ways to get a return.  So when Microsoft offered its customers its new AI function “co-pilot” recently, it told them they’d need to pa...
