Alright now that we're on the other side of the holidays and everyone is back to work, its time to start looking in earnest into partners for GDCheese. We've got a very basic deck you can SHARE around to ANY orgs that may support us, and I'd be happy to hop on a call with any 1drv.ms/b/c/69465808...

My mom has access to the internet and knows how to use it but doesn't. She is in possession of a mobile phone (a recent development) but doesn't use it beyond text messages. She is the most offline person I know, and I love that for her. She experiences no down-sides to it. No reason to change.

Protest isn't an ends in and of itself. It exists on a spectrum of activism, starting with awareness, ending in direct forceful material action creating change.

If you're stuck at the basic protest awareness stage without the credible potential for escalation, there is little motivation for change.

What are games where the player character is a dummy, generally treated by others as a dummy, or can choose to by played as a dummy (there are mechanics involving or even rewarding your dumbness)?

"now artists don't have to scroll google for hours"

What do you think is happening? Do you think artists just type key words into google image search and scroll for hours until they find something to cut and paste? How do you think that works?

These are not rhetorical questions. I'd love to know.

Huge congrats Nardwuar.

You're Nardwuar, we HAVE to honor you!
I am honoured to announce I’ve been appointed as a member to the Order of Canada. Thank you to everyone for the support! I dedicate this to my late Mom who taught me so much about history, local independent media & research. I know that she would be, like me, screaming with joy! #orderofcanada

Gimmie dat 10,000 year old gummy bear little guy.
As the year draws to a close, I’m signing off 2025 with a magical find!

An ancient amber bear. Carved some 10,000 years ago, it washed up on a beach at Fanø, Denmark, from a submerged Mesolithic settlement in the North Sea.

✨ Happy New Year all! ✨

95% of my LinkedIn feed is people saying "Holy shit look how great this magic printer is!" while showing me the most objectively dogshit looking printouts.

Star Trek has too many non-human characters who strive to be more human. I get why that is in terms of storytelling but also booo 🍅🍅🍅

How about (not evil) some humans that want to be less human? How about some non-humans who want to be more like different non-humans?

More learning from each other!

More of you need to let your non-gamer family members try your games and show us their reactions, like how @secretplangames.bsky.social did here

Immigration is not an "experiment" @nytimes.com

The bar was already super low yet somehow you're still failing to clear it.

If every time people encountered poor quality products the asked me "was this product made using that tool you're constantly saying is so good?" I might stop saying I thought that tool was so good, IDK.
