Good. Germany's blatant support of crimes beyond genocide, as one of the only repeat offenders in the world, should also mean it doesn't participate in Eurovision.

Glad to be announcing a new game, and happy that it is something experimental and weird: a tiny, tense, turn-based strategy game about merging units into spectacular combinations, and then watching them evaporate thousands of bugs.

At Gamescom, one sentiment remained consistent: We need to make games quicker. And to do that, more and more studios are turning to AI.

The honest reason I don't have microtransactions/season pass/ads/100 DLCs/etc in Balatro isn't just about the ethics of those practices but because when I play other games that have those things it makes me want to put my computer in the dishwasher and set it to pots & pans

Well, it finally happened. Someone trained an AI on my voice, and used it to generate narration for their YouTube video.
Feels pretty bad! Don't like it!
I've submitted a privacy complaint with YouTube - hopefully they'll take it down soon.
