Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.

They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.
AI generated content disclosure via Arc Raider's Steam page: The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this: During the development process, we may use procedural- and AI-based tools to assist with content creation. In all such cases, the final product reflects the creativity and expression of our own development team.

We are taking pitches for the end of 2026 onwards and we'd love to see your indie games!

We have a history of success in the Simulation / Management / Strategy genres, so games like this are always of interest, but ultimately are open to seeing games from other similar genres.

The discrepancy of steaminess between #Hades and #Hades2
Title: Love Triangles Two panels titled "Hades I" vs "Hades II" On the left is a drawing of Zagreus, Thanatos, and Megaera in a more handsy version of that Anne Hathaway Twelfth Night threesome, set against a fiery background. On the right is a cooler shaded drawing of Melinoe standing between Moros and Nemesis with a demure smile, her hands daintily reaching out to them. They're each touching her fingers ever-so-gently, Moros with an unsure expression and Nemesis giving Moros a side evil eye.

My fan cover for Montgomery LaMontgommery's upcoming book, finally spotlighting the most upstanding gentleman in all of Gath. THANK YOU for Wealwell @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social, @dimension20.bsky.social. He is everything I've ever wanted - nay, needed - and more.

A faux book cover cartoony illustration in brown and teal tones. It shows the Cloudward Ho! cast in a heroic tableau: in the background, Olethra is happily steering the MechLeod, and Daisuke is up on a cliff, aiming a rifle towards centre frame; closer to the viewer are Van on the left, blowing her bosun whistle with tentacles a-tentacling, and Maxwell Gotch on the right, looking a bit unsure about what's happening; closer still are Monty on the left, holding his notebook and looking sagely off-frame, and Marya on the right, holding a huge wrench close to her chest and staring forlornly off-camera. And in the centre and the foreground, looking directly at the viewer, is the lithe, handsome, elegantly poised figure of Wealwell Gotch, hair golden, moustache curled, dressed in a fine teal suit and resting his hand on a katana. The top reads "Montgomery LaMontgommery", and the bottom "Where There's A Weal There's A Well". The original designs for the Cloudward Ho! cast are by the wonderful Cait May.

Margate's Crab Museum is one of the best museums I've ever been to.
Info plaque at the Crab Museum talking about monarchies and how they're a ridiculous class system that essentially lives in our collective imagination. A smoke alarm in the Crab Museum with a drawing of two bad boy crabs smoking next to it, with the label "no smoking". Part of a mural about evolution in the Crab Museum depicting worms, with an arrow pointing to one of the worms with the label "worm thing".

Digital sketch for a cartoony book cover illustration. It's the cast of Dimension 20's Cloudward Ho! in a heroic tableau, but at the front and centre stands (majestically) Wealwell. Montgomery LaMontgommery's name is on top, and the bottom has the book's title: Where There's a WEAL There's a WELL.

My wrists, my heart, and all free accommodation in my brain are so ready. Here are some doodles from when the early access version used to live there.
Digital pencil doodles of some Hades 2 characters: a big Arachne fixing Melinoe's skirt, a smug Chronos' headshot, Nemesis headshot with an armoured hand giving the finger, and a slightly drunk mid shot of Odysseus

Millions of books were destroyed in the process of scanning them to feed “AI” databases. You have no idea how upset this makes me. I love books, they kept me company during my childhood/teen years while figuring out myself (although still am) arstechnica.com/ai/2...
Anthropic destroyed millions of print books to build its AI models Company hired Google's book-scanning chief to cut up and digitize "all the books in the world." On Monday, court documents revealed that AI company Anthropic spent millions of dollars physically scanning print books to build Claude, an AI assistant similar to ChatGPT. In the process, the company cut millions of print books from their bindings, scanned them into digital files, and threw away the originals solely for the purpose of training AI—details buried in a copyright ruling on fair use whose broader fair use implications we reported yesterday.

🥁🥁🥁 Watchword has a release date!

As much as I'd love to delay my game for #silksong like other cool indie games, my irl son is due to be born in a few weeks and I had a goal to release this game before that 😅

Any wishlists & shares are greatly appreciated ❤️

Now that Silksong has chased off a ton of devs from releasing their games from the next two weeks...

Who's releasing a game/demo in the next few weeks that I should check out?

My schedule is looking pretty empty and I don't want my only option to be Silksong (even if it's as good as it looks).

Ghostbusters: Dead Man's Chest comes to an end with issue #4 next week! I really enjoyed drawing this one =)

You can get a glimpse of the first few pages here:
ghostbustersnews.com/2025/08/28/p...
Ghostbusters: Dead Man's Chest #4 page 1. It opens on a city street with a distant shot of some birds on a power line, one of them glowing strangely. We see Callie in the Ecto-1, on the phone with Ray, arranging to meet up where Captain Kidd is holding Sammy. The last panel is a close-up of the power line, with several curious pigeons around a glowing ghost of a pirate parrot squawking about plunder and pillage. Written by David M Booher, colours by Cris Peter, lettering by Jimmy Betancourt. Ghostbusters: Dead Man's Chest #4 page 2. A splash page showing the ghost parrot from the previous panel flying towards the camera with an excited squawk. Behind it, in a narrow NY street, a ghost pirate ship rounds a corner in pursuit after the Ecto-1, getting zapped by Phoebe and Trevor. Written by David M Booher, colours by Cris Peter, lettering by Jimmy Betancourt.

I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees.

No refugee underfunded a school.

No refugee closed a hospital.

No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled.

We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!

The bottom area has the Savage Worlds licensee logo, and the names Eran Aviram & Aviv Or Crystal Heart chapter 1 page 8, showing our heroes facing off against an opponent for the first time, as Nadav explains how drawing initiative works in Savage Worlds. Muna fails on Persuasion, Mac activates his armor power, and Raf fails on a stealth roll (the panel shows a crouched butt peeking out from behind some shrubbery).
