@gamesandnotgames.com I’ve been burning through the backlog of episodes and when I got the splitting chores one I was inspired to try the Fair Play deck with my partner. They don’t really seem to into it nor able to really grasp the rules/structure. Do yall still use it? Any suggestions?

MasterCard is marketing its new MasterCard Threat Intelligence platform to issuers & acquirers. A source familiar w/ MasterCard’s internal operations told me MTI is flagging anime, VTubing, adult content, tabletop, video games as potentially “high fraud risk”

@senjoanblovely.bsky.social Seems like patients and caregivers in Essex deserve better than this.
National Grid keeps raising electricity rates in MA. Meanwhile a relative’s assisted living facility has been without power for six hours and no crew has been assigned. Everyone just sitting in the dark except for emergency lighting while the temperature drops.

They aren't afraid of Mamdani, they are worried about what he would unleash among VOTERS. That those voters would say: "actually, we're not buying this centrist bullshit you've been shoveling for decades, we want something else." That's what's being litigated in these Dem elites are worried essays.

I don't really love to throw industry shade because it's rarely black and white, but I am going to remind people that a game starring arguably the most iconic black superhero was cancelled *in advance* of this sale and all of the GDC talks from staff working on it were shot down at the EA level
EA says it will retain creative control following Saudi sale, but like, come on

When developers get the lion's share of a video game's profits and not executives and shareholders, then we can talk about raising the price of games.
But miss me with this $100 shit when we have leeches like Phil Spencer and Andrew Wilson constantly laying off devs for a quarterly boost.
