If it was real Socialism it would give us the LLM's training data to run on our own machines so that we could control the means of production.

Blazed through the last two episodes (and movie) of UNBEATABLE. I can see why they were very sad about Gainax closing.
Thoughts processing on it. Although in line with their own review guidelines it simultaneously gets a 6/10, a 9.5/10, and π/4.

I still don't have any takers here - it's a complex use case, so I didn't expect one right away, but if you know anyone who uses or could benefit from switch access hit me up
Posting this just made me remember something and I’m angry with myself bc I should have said this sooner
I have a lot used for testing that ends up not being used, and I have this Xbox adaptive controller and the full kit. Happy to ship it to any gamer who HAS THE NEED for the full controller

When I interviewed Lee Gold for the backmatter of DIE, one of the things which struck me was her arguing that they played things they considered roleplaying games PRIOR to D&D. So one could argue Theatre Kids have been incredibly patient with everyone else who colonised their hobby.

Unironically, one of my highest aspirations as a game developer is to have Casey recommend something I work on as it's clear she has impeccable taste.
Okay, I'll make a thread of 50 indie games which I'll add to over the week, staring with.
1. Carimara
Play as a little goblin creature summoned by a witch to investigate what's haunting her cottage, it's a creepy bite-size mystery akin to the Frog Detective games, and has gorgeous visuals.

Kinda reminds me of Dungeon Maker on PSP, where you were both building and trying to survive your own dungeon.
