Apologies in advance because I'm not going to shut up about The Killing Stone today. It's not every day we get to launch a game, and I'm especially proud of this one. (P.S. Please wishlist it, it unlocks in less than an hour!)

I thought JT was crazy for this idea, but it absolutely makes sense when I see it all in context. Also, our voice actors (Emma Gregory, who you may know from Baldur's Gate 3, and Liam O'Brien, who you may know from Critical Role) performed each of their lines in BOTH VERSIONS.
ok this language option in The Killing Stone is really neat and honestly a point of replayability for me.

caves of qud is great because half of the things you hear about the game sound like a shitpost, but it's 100% real and makes complete sense in context

Herd is a puzzle book and board game by @letibus.bsky.social, this time with lovely plastic shepherds and sheep that must be ushered past obstacles and over holes. Less meta than some of Gracar's efforts, this one is a lovely surprise from start to finish. My review: spacebiff.com/2026/02/17/h...

One thing AI has revealed is that there are a whole lot of people who have neither interesting ideas nor the talent to express them, and apparently not even any real will or desire to cultvate either of these things… but still for some reason desperately want to be regarded as artists.
AI filmmaking is completely unserious.
You've got people with $30k begging the internet for ideas by next week because they have nothing of their own to say, it's just slop for the sake of slop. Embarrassing state of affairs.

This is @glutelord.bsky.social and he's completely fucking correct. The fundamental tension at the heart of all incel culture is that these guys HATE women and refuse to appeal to them but desperately want to get laid anyway, and this contradiction can only really be resolved through violence

The headline doesn't even begin to describe how wildly unethical the background of this story is, which is that the survivor only shared the story with one person- her psychiatrist- who is Kamel Doud's wife
His novel was praised for giving a voice to the victims of Algeria’s brutal civil war. But one woman has accused Kamel Daoud of having stolen her story – and the ensuing legal battle has become about much more than literary ethics.
