'"If there is any way to terrify a despot, it is by dismantling the very conditions that allowed him to accumulate power.” [Mamdani] was alluding to Donald Trump, but the sentiment also applies to Fifa.' Excellent analysis and advice from @julesboykoff.bsky.social.

Games Done Queer is streaming all weekend.

www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...
GDQ's upcoming event, Games Done Queer, has already become a fierce rallying cry of support for LGBT rights in the US: 'We had 450 hours of content submitted for the 36-hour show'
"We're here, we're bigger than you think we are, and we can band together when it's important."

So, today I'm announcing a new book project... and doing a call for papers: crpgbook.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/t...

It's an anthology of video game history outside the usual US perspective - an accessible & exciting panorama of different realities - and I'll pay 300 USD per article.

Please share :)
The Video Game History Expansion Pack – Pitch your story
Today I’m putting my money where my mouth is and launching a new project — a book focused on game history outside of the usual North American perspectives.

LUCASARTS PRESENTS
Columbo in:
SCUMM of the Earth
#pixelart
a pixel art scene of Columbo doddering around rendered in a style reminiscent of LucasArts' Point and Click adventure games. Columbo is looking at a dog resting on the ground, with the inspect dialogue: "You're a real friendly boy aren't you? Oh, you're a girl." In his inventory is a cigar, an egg, some sunflower seeds and some dog treats.

Celle-ci, je vais la noter.
Extrait de l'article de Chloé Woitier pour Le Monde : « Les gens surestiment le temps gagné. Dans la réalité, le gain sur nos missions est peut-être de 5 % si on ne veut pas rogner sur la qualité. L’IA s’apparente surtout à un stagiaire zélé à forte tendance mythomane. » La dernière phrase est surlignée en jaune.

So @visitthecave.bsky.social… We might have to make a few corrections to that Thomson video.
(There’s also a whole section about a never released video disc format that might interest @techconnectify.bsky.social)
