Robert Yang’s Hard Lads was the first game I loaded onto my Steam Deck. It’s a funny little game about drunk dudes hitting each other with chairs and the worst you could say about it is that it’s vaguely homoerotic. Delisted now from itch.io.

I wish we had gotten some warning from Steam and Itch... but we already know it's Collective Shout + payment processors waging culture war against LGBTQ people and sexual expression. I guess there's nothing else for Steam and Itch to say
I would focus on the people holding the gun rather than the head it’s pointed at for no other reason that they’ve come for storefront after storefront and they are not going to stop unless there is real collective pushback.

I'm working on a GamesIndustry.biz article about the Steam and Itch content crackdowns, and I'd love to hear from someone in a country where payment options online are limited. If you're reliant on PayPal or another highly specific processor to get hold of games, please get in touch!

Re-releasing Oblivion and having the only DLC be a +$10 deluxe version that includes horse armor is an incredible bit.

Trade policy based on deficits only works if the US can control the trade between our partners. In colonialism, this was accomplished by forcing countries to trade only via the mother country’s ships.
Anyway what I’m saying here is that we might see actual high seas piracy again in our lifetime.

Boston has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever
we get 60m dollars worth of tea from China every year. baby, they are literally doing a 104% tax on tea in the United States
sure this sounds bad but remember this nation was founded on the principle of cheerfully tolerating large surtaxes on imported goods

What I'm listening to today: "Caramelldansen on a nuclear siren"
A "Whelen Engineering WS-3000 siren, manufactured in 1981 for the Saint Lucie Nuclear Power Plant", decommissioned in 2013 & scavenged by this YouTuber, playing the nightcore remix of "Caramelldansen".

Bluesky today posted this vague thread, announcing-without-spelling-out that they're allowing a writer, net troll and anti-trans activist named Jesse Singal to stay on the platform, despite every trans user saying it makes us unsafe.
