Game devs, I am once again asking you to add keyboard only input as an option to your games. If you can support navigating menus with a controller, you can support keyboard. Arrow keys and enter instead of D-pad and A. Simple enough. And for my disability and many others, it's the best way to play.

I got a great question on my Ramadan thread: do Muslims also need to avoid consumption by proxy in videogames? Does consuming in-game food or drink break the fast? Basically: does your character have to go fast?

The answer is no, unless you happen to be playing Sonic the Hedgehog.

We call them skeets specifically because the CEO said "please don't call them skeets, please call them anything else other than skeets" and the Bluesky userbase promptly said "got it boss, they're called skeets from now until forever"
Laughing at journalists who say if Bluesky was nicer to them there’d be more journalists here like…you don’t know your audience AT ALL.

Trying to shame Bluesky into behaving the way you personally want is like trying to keep a cat off a counter.

That cat is gonna be on the counter EVEN MORE now.

Hey. Psst. Y’all are rad. Hydrate your skeletons. Take your meds. Check your posture. Have a snack.

Whatever you need to do today/tonight, I believe in you. No matter how big or small it may be. I hope the week brings joy, relief, laughter, success, coziness. You got this.

People talk about this stuff in terms of how much it'll suck for gaming and I hate to inform you how many MRI machines, X-Rays, all sorts of other vital machinery are just a Windows IoT Edition PC in a beige plastic box with a big magnet/accelerator/whatever attached.

kotaku is a good website staffed by good people and it is really maddening and perplexing to me the way right wingers think a perpetually understaffed video game blog is responsible for everything they hate

The legitimately innovative thing about AI is that it is a completely bottomless pit. It's swallowed up:

- all energy sources
- all our data
- all investment dollars
- all new jobs
- all capex
- all attention
- and now, all hardware components

with absolutely no end in sight. Nothing will satisfy.
the AI junk that nobody - including the people making it - have enough real uses or profitable demand for is screwing up all the things that have real uses and decades of profitable demand
