Windows 10 goes out of support today. My fave useless fact about w10 is that the iconic blue desktop background is a *photograph* - not CGI.

Things that cost nothing - but is a HUGE help for any and all indie devs:

Wishlisting - it gives games data to show publishers there is interest.

Leave a Review - ESPECIALLY if you liked the game. Reviews on steam lead to the algo serving you up to others.

Reposting - it's an attention economy.

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

ICYMI – For my first original Access Granted report, I spoke with disabled players unable to afford the continuous rising prices of games, systems, and tech. If these trends continue, they say the disabled community will undoubtably be alienated from gaming. Read more here:

With the continuous rise of prices for games, systems, and tech, and as companies like Xbox announce further increases for services like Game Pass, some disabled individuals are choosing to forgo AAA gaming altogether. Read my latest Access Granted report here:

It's infuriating as all of the serious dog-training places I lurk at, and even some casual dog training places, don't even mention this. It's not on their optics at all. People who have never interacted with these tools and no knowledge of dogs should not be commenting or fooled.

Face plant @chengeling.bsky.social · 2h

Consider who stands to gain from this as it's not even on the radar on all of the serious dog training subreddits, discussion platforms etc, from personal observation. Nil, blip.

The Hasan Piker dog collar incident shows that proponents of the surveillance state, like Larry Ellison, who claimed that mass video surveillance would lead to more accountability, are catastrophically wrong.

Hasan Piker and the Future No One Is Ready For

The backlash that Piker is facing shows the consequences of a world where everyone is constantly being recorded and our internet is built to reward outrage and controversy.

I've reposted many posts made by folks who were recently laid off from Heart Machine, but here is a thread that highlights them all.

I am also including folks who were previously laid off & are still looking for work. I will be linking their Bsky posts, as well as LinkedIn.

Please, share this. 🖤

We all know he's lying, but I'm sure someone out there thinks that shutting down an agency that "isn't working" is a good idea, instead of just... I dunno, fixing it?

Hi hello #portfolioDay! Im Sarah, a snr concept artist in games, indi Dev, freelance #cartographer & #TTRPG designer from Scotland. I love being an artist and over the last 15 years I’ve worked on projects like #DeathsDoor, #SpyroReignited, Possessor(s), Campaign Builder: Cities & Towns & more!

A shipwreck on a mountain top, with a Japanese-style noodle bar inside.

Secret area of deaths door. a ruined templed inside a cave covered in snow.

Exterior and interior concepts for an old rundown bar with stained glass. Inside is a smokie dive with lots of plants and hanging cages for different creatures.

Flooded street with a character skating over the water, ruined buildings and tech to either side of the street. Large trees grow through old buildings.

I think about how some managers and leaders, instead of being happy for a person on their team to have achieved prestigious highs, instead be bitter and insecure, gaslighting instead of trusting and listening to them to do better quality work. Pretending to be supportive after gaslighting, even.

So far TODAY Israel has:

- bombed Gaza City
- bombed Khan Younis
- shot and killed five Palestinians in Gaza City
- refused to open the Rafah border crossing
- announced they would once more block aid

This is what a "ceasefire" with Israel looks like. This is what it has always looked like.
