Finished a new track - calling this one Hammerwight but I almost titled it 'Flint & Steel'. I'll be using this for a boss fight or something but the music will inspire the design and I have no ideas yet. I haven't worked on music in 6 months, it's good to be back!

We are past the event horizon; the takeoff has started. Humanity is close to building digital superintelligence, and at least so far it’s much less weird than it seems like it should be. Robots...

Shakespeare’s plays were performed to no more than 3,000 people at a time in his day at the Globe theatre. Today we have tons of common words, phrases, and concepts coined by him.

Meanwhile today people have hundreds of thousands of followers and still feel like their voice is powerless.

"you just need to accept that games cost 80 dollars now"

PlayStation reported a overall loss in sales when they went to 70 dollars

Imagine spending your whole life cos-playing and fantasizing about fighting the federal government sending troops in against its own citizens only to root for the government when the moment finally arrives

“Officials don’t want to be on Bsky because they get yelled at”
🙄
These replies from X are on a post of Chuck Schumer celebrating a parade. Bsky is much kinder than other platforms!

Got blocked for saying that games are expensive and a lot of the people buying them are poor. From two guys who work in video games. Gaming has become so toxic toward its own customers. Many of the people who make games hate themselves and the people who buy their stuff. What a pathetic existence.

Worst part of game price discourse is it’s not even clear that raising prices will lead to higher revenues. The main reason I don’t support raising prices is because I suspect it will lead to LOWER revenues as fewer people buy the game, a large enough reduction to wipe away the gains from pricing.

It’s honestly insane to go online and tell people that their complaints about the price of something are not valid. If you’re lucky enough to be financially stable then good for you.

But fuck off if you’re coming on here to act like what you can afford is what everyone else should pay.

Astronomers may have found evidence of still-forming planets hidden in this close-up of the star RIK 113, taken with our VLT 📸 🪐

This and previous ALMA data suggest that the disc around the star may be shaped by hidden planets.

“insane obnoxious offensive post on your feed”
*replies disabled*
Any platform that creates this situation is shitty. If OP doesn’t want replies their posts should be excluded from feeds and kept to their followers only. Otherwise it just leads to people posting intentionally offensive nonsense.

The majority of all games ever released were made as self funded passion projects. The investor driven corporate games industry is the exception not the rule. You don’t need to engage with that side of the field if all you want to do is make a video game.

playing pokemon as an adult is one of those isekai reincarnation stories where you're reborn as a baby in another world and you use the full weight of your publicly educated, adult mind to cheat and dominate this world at the age of 12
