I do not envy your task and I wish you luck and/or the shattered femurs of the executives who mandated the termination of support for Windows 10, whichever satisfies.

Every tech announcement now is these shiny looking lads saying: "people LOVE to be uncertain about what is real, that's why we've created our new bullshit engine, to add to the preciptous sense of reality collapse in all things. $99/seat."

The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78.

Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.

Kids love dinosaurs, are too scared to go to the movies alone (because dinosaurs scary!) and drag at least one parental figure along: boom easy two tickets down, and honestly more with larger families. And then because kids love dinosaurs so much, repeat the process.

Newgrounds has a very helpful guide for detecting AI audio over at www.newgrounds.com/wiki/help-in... for anyone interested in catching AI-generated music. Don't rely on any service that uses AI for detection, that's just using slop to find slop and you'll get false positives/missed catches.

That's right. It's time for part 3 of the FPS series; this time, a lot of assorted thoughts on what makes for good enemy design. This one was fun as hell to write.

So! First, we talked about a specific subgenre of first person shooter, loosely starting with Unreal and Half-Life and dying off around…

Cuz sharing is caring and resource secrecy is for dweebs: For the past week, I've been starting my mornings by doing a lesson from this ridiculously comprehensive Godot Action RPG tutorial.

It's amazing. Dude basically teaches you how to make Legend of Zelda: LTTP.

What is Nighthawks? It's a vampire game where the vampires have been exposed to the world... but it's also different in tone from most. Vampire games tend to be cold and cynical, but this time, being a light in the darkness can be the real adventure.

“Israeli” ceasefires only ever apply to the other party. They’ll continue to kill whomever they want, whenever they want until they are stopped. They see themselves as occupying an altogether different moral plane than their enemies, like any colonizer.

Remember that Microsoft is ending regular support for Windows 10 on October 14th! Get on that ESU to get a free year of security updates if you can! You can sign up for it after that date fortunately, but better safe than oh no my Win10 machine is now an endless malware generator

Edwyn "Omahdon" Tiong @edwyntiong.com · 23d

My PC simply does not want to upgrade to Windows 11 (nor do I, honestly) but turns out my copy of Windows 10 is eligible for the Extended Security Updates programme that gives that one last gasp of a year to work out my options (probably a Win11 lappy at some point).

Nash @radiodeadair.com · 23d

If you're still running Windows 10, here are your options:

- Upgrade to Windows 11.
- Jump through the strange, esoteric hoops Microsoft has provided to give you exactly one more year of support. No one knows how to do this.
- Switch to Linux.

That's it. Pick one and leave techies alone.

Sadly, my contract with Blizzard ended in September. That means I'm looking for fulltime or contract work as a senior writer or narrative designer. If you need someone who can write sharp characters, poetic prose, and emotional stories, I'm available! www.hazelmonforton.com

dr. hazel 🐝 @hazelmonforton.com · Jul 8

It's #portfolioday! I'm presently a senior narrative designer at Blizzard, but before that I was at Bungie and Arkane. I wrote for the Writer's Guild award-nominated Dishonored: Death of the Outsider, and a bunch of critically acclaimed seasons and expansions in Destiny 2.

What had you cackling the most at this year’s ‘Who’s Speaking Please’ panel?

What takeaways did you learn from the ‘Sorry, You Peaked’ presentation?

Well done to all the amazing voice actors that took part this year and to everyone who came along!
