Now that it is tax season I remind everyone:

THEY WERE REMOVED FROM THE IRS FREE FILE SYSTEM AND ARE NOT BOUND TO THOSE RULES.
Instead, if you make $84k or less a year, use any of the IRS Free File options found here: www.irs.gov/filing/irs-f...

Mario Kart Arcade GP contains unused early character portraits that come in "normal" and "hurt" variations. Curiously, Toad's "hurt" portrait is identical to his normal one, making him appear to either be unbothered or particularly good at hiding his emotions.

My favorite thing to do for New Years is read about everything entering the public domain!!!
The copyrights of thousands of 20th-century films, books, compositions and sound recordings expire on Jan. 1, making them free for anyone to share and adapt. Here are some of the highlights.
Popeye, Tintin and more will enter the public domain in the new year

#Balatro is now rated 18+ 🃏
The game's creator fires back:
"Since PEGI gave us an 18+ rating for having evil playing cards, maybe I should add microtransactions, loot boxes, and real gambling to lower that rating to 3+ like EA Sports FC"

Rampant art theft, inflation, gen AI, incoming tariffs and possible privatization of the USPS…there are a lot of forces working against independent artists. Your support is more important than ever before.
friends, please remember to support your favorite artists in the coming year if you have the means to. sharing their work, commissions, patreon, anything helps; things have been rough for literally every single one of us. i've been seeing artists get burnout in alarming numbers the last six months

This is a really good point. People who follow games (especially Japanese games) tend to put too much stock in the idea of auteurs.
I have seen some talk about directors departing PlatinumGames (in which I play a small part.)
Games are not made by a single person.
There are many talented Artists, Designers, Programmers, and Musicians still at PG. I suggest you do not count them out yet.
I can’t wait to see what they do next!
