What an absolute incredible end to the series. I have my nitpicks but mostly because I loved it so much.

My experience with piracy is if someone who was never going to pay for my work turns into a fan that is worth more financially than what I’d lose from that first transaction

You probably haven't heard of Garbanzo Quest by @zachisagardner.bsky.social, but it's an incredible game with a lot to say. Today we dive deep into this classic and emerge with a newfound understanding of what it means to be an independent artist in the first place. www.youtube.com/watch?v=90rk...

If you're interested, this tribute to Alice Wong was written by one of the people who knew her best

A Tribute to an Oracle, Alice Wong
Alice had the ability to look to the future and a world where laws and attitudes did not keep disabled people poor, pitied, and isolated.

The fact that people are giving infinitely more grace and benefit of the doubt to Steam for their art censorship than they did to Itch is making me want to gargle my own teeth

this week indie studio santa ragione announced that it's on the verge of closure after steam blocked the release of its upcoming provocative art game, horses. valve, despite all of its algorithms and purposefully vague policyspeak, is once again telling us exactly where it stands
Steam is a relentlessly well-oiled machine optimized for the purpose of pushing products – games that adhere to well-worn themes, structures, and strictures. It recommends games along genre lines; it tries to algorithmically match you with games similar to what you last played at every turn. It is deeply traditional – conservative, even – in its construction. Sometimes art that seeks to provoke or unsettle gets through, but this is closer to a happy accident than the purpose of Steam’s design. Valve has built a machine that cannot challenge the status quo, where rare human decisions must reinforce that ethos to avoid upsetting the immensely profitable apple cart. This should no longer surprise us; Valve drew its line in the sand years ago. But it’s important to remember where the company and the people running it stand – and to recognize that their decisions reverberate through the industry, deciding what does and does not constitute commercially viable art. Such a lofty position necessarily confers responsibility, but Valve refuses to accept it, and I do not imagine it will change its mind anytime soon. This is not to say the larger game development community should take pressure off Valve, but it’s also time to consider alternatives, to build spaces for and unabashedly by human beings. I know it’s far easier said than done, especially when you’ve still got to put food on the table, but what other choice is there?

I'm so excited to be wrapping up this video so I can really focus on getting to this next script. Nothing is better motivation than a lot of people just missing something that screams as obvious to ya.

I can't wait to see all of my mutuals that play Fortnite regularly to not touch the game for the entirety of the season in solidarity of all of their trans homies! It's so nice knowing so many people that aren't just allies when it's convenient for them! 🙂💖

Hint. Fucking. Hint.

Nobody's clamouring for AI games, nobody's mad that games don't feature AI, there's a total and utter lack of demand for it. The only demand is from business heads who think it'll save them money, audiences and creatives are rejecting it.

EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum".

PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made.
