It's a fully-weapoinized extreme right-wing information warfare machine, and everyone that's still using it is an absolute fucking moron that's complicit in making it a success.

Pitching your game to print media? Here’s a thread full of tips!
Always send screenshots in PNG format. JPEG compression blurs sharp edges and creates ugly artefacts that look even worse once printed at 300 DPI.
Where possible, submit your screenshots at 4K resolution. Or native res for pixel art.

Excuse me? So the company the President currently owns is teaming up with a cryptocurrency company to create a prediction market, which will take bets... on things the President himself has quite a lot of control over?
Gosh, I'm sure nothing bad will happen.

Nighthawks is a great example of why you should just let devs slow cook sometimes.
Been eyeing this project since 2018 and having played the (generously sizeable) demo, you feel that time was put to good use everywhere.
If you fancy a deep text-based RPG in a novel vampire world, look no further!

Don't make people vomit on their screens seems like a solid enough strategy if you want them to notice your game.
utterly vomming at the amount of AI generated capsule art in the next fest. really gross, and a quick way to put many people off your game.

There have been so many great games over the past ten years that nobody can fully comprehend it, and most of the older ones have only aged into better versions.
Everyone is struggling. Even my freelance writing gigs have dried up badly, and I'm figuring out new options. But the games? They're good.

Pushing my kid in his stroller as we head to a swimming lesson and just been hit in the gut by this memorial to the children of Palestine.
Just a bus ride away from here, there’s a factory pumping out parts for the same F-35 jets used to kill these same kids. I am so full of rage.
