sort of incredible to read a review that doesn't just made a vague nod at AI being bad, but actively reckons with the ways in which falling obsessively to AI usage actively obliterates the artistic intent and integrity of the work you've made.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Only 1 day to go to the start of the @cymerafestival.co.uk which means it's time for nail art.
I have taken inspiration from the official Cymera art by @mkhardywrites.com and tokens
from Blood on the clocktower.
I had to sneak in some @edinburghsff.com rep in there too!

Skin Deep is a very cool ImSim that feels kinda like a compressed Hitman with an even weirder sense of humour. Well worth a look.

There's a larger point here I haven't seen discussed a lot.
How do you ship a product in 2025 who's market includes children which can say fuck. How is this protection not there from day 1? How is this not part of the feature spec at design time? How does QA not raise this as a potential issue?

Epic tells me it patched out Death Vader saying fuck:
"We pushed a hot fix within 30 minutes of this happening in-game, so this shouldn’t happen again."

This is already how games work if you are over 35
Hideo Kojima has an amazing idea for a "Forgetting Game" where the main character gradually forgets important information and abilities if you take too long a break from playing.
