I'm big on dark fantasy/scifi/tragedies, cohesion and themes, and unreasonably ambitious side projects ✊😔

We haven't quite fixed down the price for the book yet but one of the design goals is: academically published books normally cost about ~$65. We're aiming for ~$15.

The myth that "video games make you violent" is very funny to me, because in my experience video games make you a freelance writer

Hey y'all.

A South African dev released a blackity black game during BHM and it's currently getting the usual suspects in the reviews.

Imma grab this up myself anyway, but can we all be some chums and help push the racists out of the reviews? 🙂

📢 Au moins 1200 personnes en grève dans le groupe Ubisoft aujourd'hui !
Les travailleureuses disent non à la stratégie de l'échec de la dynastie Guillemot et oui à la liberté de fabriquer de bons jeux vidéo dans de bonnes conditions. La grève continue demain et après-demain ✊

Discord is already starting to walk things back a little, so people should keep doing what they're doing (cancel Nitro, leave feedback/criticism, direct contact through support tickets/phone/email/etc)
Tl;dr: The vast majority of adults will never have to interact with our age assurance systems and their experience won't change, because we know Discord and how people use it, so we're designing to respect privacy and deliver a safer experience while minimizing friction for adults. Hey folks – I’ve been on Discord since very early 2016 and actually joined the company in 2017. Safety is one of my areas, so today’s announcement on our blog is something I’ve been pretty involved with. I’ve always cared about Discord's approach to privacy (E2EE for A/V was another of my projects here), so I figured I’d add some more context to today's news. I can say confidently that the vast majority of people will never see age verification. I say this because we launched age assurance in the UK and Australia in 2025, and we have some pretty good data on this now. The idea here is that we can pre-identify most adults based on what we already know (not including your messages!), and that looks to get us pretty far here. No face scans, no IDs, for the vast majority of adults. And if you are one of the smaller subset of folks that we can't definitively pre-identify, then still, you only have to do it if you're accessing age-restricted servers or channels, or changing certain settings. That's really not most users. (Altho... might be more Redditors, tbh.) Last, I know that there is concern about privacy and data leaks. That's a real concern. The selfie system is built purely client-side, it never leaves your device, and we did that intentionally. That'll work for a bunch of users who aren't pre-identified as adults. But if you do end up in the ID bucket, then yeah, you're right that has some risk. We're doing what we can to minimize this by working with our range of partners (who are different partners than the data leak you read about), and if it's any help, we learned a lot internally from the last issue. But I get if that doesn't necessarily inspire more confidence. Anyway, we’ll be sharing more next month as we get closer to the global roll out about the system, including the technology behind it in March. I honestly wouldn't be happy if we didn't build something good and I am excited about what we’re launching, but please let us know what you think when we share more details. And I really appreciate everybody's feedback here today. We’re definitely reading it!

If you really cared about the game developers you hire, you would regularly organize mandatory field days where you send them to the middle of a literal empty field so that they can scream really loud and tear fistful of hair out of their own skulls

The puritanical infantilization of the internet makes me want to chew glass. At some point the only thing you'll be able to do is be a good little consumer while everything else is either paywalled or balkanized and sanitized for the imaginary safety of politically convenient children

I really wish we had a well funded, power critical fourth estate interested in investigating the source of this clearly coordinated effort by payment processors.

Like, we keep seeing the impact of it, but I really want to know the "who" and the "why" beyond nebulous surveillance/puritanism forces.

Trying to get Google Sites to accept my Squarespace custom domain as its own has been a befuddling journey at best up to this point, so if anyone has done that successfully in the past, I'd love to hear your tips. 🙏

"But what does that say/what does that do thematically?"
Or alternatively: "We need to test it in-game first."

Soutien aux victimes, avec l'espoir qu'on prenne un jour conscience de la prévalence de la culture qui existait début 2010 dans ces milieux là. Les gens ne parlerons pas forcément toujours, mais la réalité reste ce qu'elle est. Et j'avoue que : je ne sais pas ce qu'on peut faire de ça en pratique.

You know that bicultural thing where you understand a language very well orally but then when it's written you have to go ⬇️ at it for a good minute or so because you just weren't exposed to writing nearly as much growing up 😔

I just saw this instagram post from the incredibly talented and breathtakingly hilarious Kate Welch, who was laid off around a year ago, and I wanted to share it here. It’s an important message, and you deserve to read it:
(thread)
A title image reads “So Youve Just Been Laid Off a post-corporate message from @katewelchhhh” “One year ago, I was laid off from my corporate gaming job. For the first time in my 15-year career, I was unemployed without a next secure, salaried job on the horizon. I am either exceptionally lucky or talented, but it doesn't matter which it is - both no longer seem applicable.”
