Over the past 6 months, #Indiegames have fed my soul so much more than any AAA has come close to doing. Such special and unique experiences that stick with you well after you put the controller down.

I don't have a kid, but I whole heartedly agree. Vaccines aren't just for you or your kid. It's for the community. I have relatives who are immunocompromised and cannot get a lot of vaccines. They rely on me and others to get vaccinated to keep them safe. Vaccines are community work.
This is not a dunk whatsoever, but I wholeheartedly disagree with the first sentence. I'm old enough that a friend in my K class got polio and she ended up in a wheelchair for life. I think not vaccinating is akin to neglect like not feeding or clothing a child. And yes I have a kid.
I do think parents should absolutely have the right to choose not to vaccinate their kids.

I also think schools, sports teams, and other clubs or activities should absolutely have the right to exclude those who don’t want to participate in keeping these communities safe by getting vaccinated.

Depending on how much work I’m able to get done, I might be announcing my new adventure game this year. 🤔

If the results weren’t questionable before (they were) making it so that results are slanted to the highest bidder sure doesn’t seem like an improvement

The ACM Digital Library, where a LOT of computing-related research is published (I'd say at least 75% of my own publications), is now not only providing (without consent of the authors and without opt-in by readers) AI-generated summaries of papers, but they appear as the *default* over abstracts.

This came to me in a dream, so it must be posted.

All converted media is trans media. When you go from JPEG to PNG, the image doesn't fundamentally change; the only reason we call it something different is that we have an objective understanding of what each format is.

Maybe my dreams are high.

If you see the words 'irrevocable', 'in perpetuity', 'formats not yet invented', 'net after costs', 'all rights', you're selling every damn thing you could make money from as an author for a one time payment, or in this case, a promise.

Signing this gives the publisher money meant for you forever.
Behold, if you will, the...astonishing...contract from Shadow Light Press. A rolling 10-year term...payment on profit (but only after costs are recouped)...appropriation of the author's universe if they can't continue the series...and more www.reddit.com/r/Progressio...
