A sky background with balloons floating all across the top of the screen. In the center, there are 3 elements from left to right - a concept art showing the long-term RPG project player character concept art, the Daydream Studio cloud logo modified to say "Happy Anniversary" with a party hat on top, and a concept art piece of the player character in the action-adventure game concept, which is a basic pixel art circular drawing with some slight shading, and with the character holding a sword.

holy fucking shit Epic won

this is huge, massively positive news for the games industry at large! Epic isn’t an angel but their case and cause on this was 110% the correct decision

App Store not being able to gate 3rd party purchases in the US is !!!!!

Hi Bluesky, stream Uncanny Valley now! distrokid.com/hyperfollow/...

More to announce soon enough 👀
A dark background with text that says "NEW RELEASE" with the cover art for "Uncanny Valley" in the middle. The covert art has a purple-to-black gradient, with a graph of the uncanny valley effect front-and-center. Below the art, it also says "NOW AVAILABLE" with Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube logos below it.

i can't put into words just how happy it makes me that someone was able to hack the xbox 360 hypervisor after all these years. it's something i'd been trying to do for the past 3 years and Grimdoomer finally came along and did it good

having the cpu key for my childhood 360 is surreal. thank u ryan

A picture of an Xbox 360 underneath a TV, showing two LEDs lit up on the Xbox 360 ring of light (one green, one orange) and Rock Band Blitz's "Discovering Downloadable Content" screen. Then another picture of the same setup, with the ring of light showing all 4 LEDs lit up and Nyan Cat on the screen.
