Just want you to know that when I asked Geoff why he gave the silent treatment to an open letter written by his own "future of games" program (& co-signed by 3000+ industry peers), he replied:

the entirety of the british press talked themselves into believing this woman is trans based almost entirely on JK Rowling's judgement of the athlete's appearance.
Nothing illustrates the arseholery of the IOC and the British Press more than the use of the image of a not-Trans woman to illustrate a story about trans women being banned (because there are no current trans women competing at this level)

i think if the democrats had dug in their heels and said "this is the epstein shutdown. trump is starving the country because he doesn't want the epstein files to come out" they probably could have ended him. so it was very kind of them to not do that

The thing about government shutdowns is that they're manufactured things that never need to happen.
They're bullshit that adversely affects the lives of normal people because politicians love posturing.

EXCLUSIVE on @gamedeveloper.bsky.social: not only has The Game Awards not nominated a Future Class for 2025, it's told alumni it "does not have any active programming plans" for the award.
The Future Class page was taken down sometime this year—eliminating a definitive archive of honorees.

Were the weapons for this designed by AI too? They weren't made with the idea of authenticity in mind, that much is certain.
Like, this is nonsense. The only way for that to work is if it had a free rotating internal cylinder, but it can't work anyway because the barrel doesn't line up with it.
