This is terrible. It is also an opportunity for certain journalists to finally speak up with a *fraction* of the courage the people of Minneapolis have shown. It is also instructive that Lemon is Black. Woe/pox etc upon white journalists who don’t freak out about this.
Don was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles.

41. Mundaun
I keep telling people to play this, it's a magnificent Folk Horror story, presented in this gorgeous visual style where all the ingame textures were hand-drawn in pencil. Incredibly atmospheric, some neat puzzles, and you get to drive a neat little farm truck.

It appears that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has, within the past week, scrubbed a large amount of climate change content from its official website, as well as *removed human-caused warming* from the discussion on its "causes of climate change" page.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

If you work a studio that’s been nominated for a Game Award this year (or even years’ past), I would love to speak to you about your experience getting tickets! How many did your studio get? How many did you buy?

Can someone explain to me what is different cause this deck is just full of marketing jargon 🫠
At the risk of getting blacklisted: anyone else feel like the vibes at GDC are going to be incredibly off this year? Disastrous industry conditions from corporate greed aside, we need to make GDC more accessible to ALL gamedevs, not imply that it's no longer a professional conference. I'm confused.
We're changing the game.
