The Express is furious about this because the moment you show those who repeat anti-immigration rhetoric the real human stories their narrative collapses.

The “immigrants” are people. Our friends, colleagues and family.

And it’s this nation of neighbours that is what makes Britain great.

I’ve been playing Dead Take and I’m absolutely terrified of the actual setting of it. I’ve been in Hollywood people mansions and the implication of corruption itself is a horror setting, lynchian vibe to the max. Dead Take is worth it just for that

Here's my video about @santaragione.com's HORSES, and why it being banned from Steam sucks even if you aren't interested in *this particular game*. Video games as a whole deserve better!

Yes, Steam banning indie game "HORSES" matters.

Horses' only sin is that its broad themes don't entirely pay off its loaded imagery. Otherwise, it's an effectively uncomfortable games that turns life's mundane humiliations into surreal horror. If anything, its bans fill in its thematic gaps for it. My review. www.polygon.com/horses-banne...

News from me: after years of not being able to have my soundtrack for Untitled Goose Game on Bandcamp - it's now on @bandcamp.com.

I'm also in a slow process of having my music (including Goose Game) removed from Spotify, for their treatment of artists, their politics, and their embrace of AI.

It’s Obra Dinn. Obra Dinn gives you a structure to work in that makes you feel like you’re smart even if you’re not *that* smart. It’s baffling that more AA/AAA games have not folded it into their games RPing ‘smart’ characters. (Even tho I’ve been pitching them for years.)
So what's a UX that feels like being the world's greatest detective?

Maybe... walking into a room, glancing around, and noticing something everyone else missed? To Batman, the clues are so obvious they might as well glow yellow.

Oh. Oh no. Ohhh no no no no n-3/7
