NEW: For the last seven weeks, Naughty Dog has enacted mandatory overtime for staff to finish an internal demo of their next game, Intergalactic. The game won't be out until 2027, leaving some staff wondering: If they're crunching now, what will next year be like? www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

So look man if we're just gonna be online here watching all these big studios come out and lay down on the tracks about Gen AI going "I have to do this for some reason." then I think it's more important than ever to celebrate games from based devs who are out here openly posting "Nuh uh, fuck that."

A solid rule in public policy is most things take much longer to fix than they do to break and the rate of breakage now is so profound that we're just digging a hole that'll take longer to dig out of than we will have to fix it before someone is like "What if we try that again though?"

Since I posted this yesterday:
- The writer of the "I hate muslims" review has doubled down, and added that they also hate transgender people
- Valve removed my flag from the review, with nothing done about it. The review remains up and on our Steam page

I say again: Is this what Steam is now?

We had an Overwhelmingly Positive score on Steam, then these two reviews rolled in

Why does Valve allow this?

I just don't know what to do about this. I'm genuinely at a loss.

"Has muslims, thumbs down" is now just written on the Steam page for Little Rocket Lab, and I cannot remove it. Anyone coming in to look at our game will rightly just think "What the fuck?", and there's nothing I can do.

Valve has now rejected my complaint, confirming that "I don't like muslims" is a valid reason to leave a negative review on a game on Steam

This is where we're at now.

Heartbreaking. The University of Nebraska will terminate its entire Earth science department.

One of the country's most successful and respected geology & climate programs: gone.

When ideologues & politicians are threatened by the very act of studying climate change, I wonder: who of us is next?
It's over.

Despite the fact that the academic council recommended against it, despite the fact that the program brought in more tuition than it cost, and despite the fact that Nebraskans need & deserve this expertise, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences will be cut.

The University of Nebraska-Lincoln eliminates the Earth and atmospheric sciences 8-0, educational administration 7-1, statistics 7-1, textiles, merchandising and fashion design 7-1 programs.

It may sound radical, but if one guy has so much wealth and power that he can use the large newspaper he owns to publicly threaten to ruin a service we all rely on, presumably as a bargaining tactic to get lower rates, we probably need to tax that guy until he can't do that anymore.

But Amazon may give up its long-standing partnership with USPS to deliver packages itself, which could spell disaster for the mail agency.

the most interesting part of this reporting is that they didn't pull him off the air for what he had *already* said, they pulled him off the air for what he was *going* to say, which, i expect, has them in quite the pickle now, because he's unlikely to be *more* conciliatory after this

If you are responding to the murder of Charlie Kirk with "political violence is not acceptable" or "violence is not the answer" I need you to understand that he did not agree with you and wanted you dead.

"Political violence" is a term that exists to suggest a moral distinction between "violence against politicians" and "violence by politicians" - so that one can be condemned while the other can be normalized. Obviously, no such distinction exists in reality: violence is violence.
