Hollowtones's review of Unfair Flips | Backloggd We've got a funny way of looking at chance, don't we? <br><br><em>Unfair Flips</em> is a video game as much as it is a mirror and a ritual object. It's an incremental game with minimal presentation an...

Finally got around to writing up some thoughts about "Unfair Flips", a game I played very early on this year and really liked. backloggd.com/u/Hollowtone...

It’s hard to properly convey the lunacy of these proposals to people outside aerospace.

Reflect wants to put gigantic mirrors in orbit and beam down sunlight at nighttime.

SpaceX wants a million more starlink sats.

If either of these actually happens, space will be unusable.

Okay, I'm currently writing the section about "How do I save a file?" I want to write a short paragraph about why high-school graduates don't know how to save files, and that it is okay. But I cannot make it not sound condescending yet. Tempted to make the whole section just: "CTRL/CMD + S".

You aren’t supposed to beat these games without help though, you were supposed to drag a kitchen chair into your dads office so you can play together

Auf Instagram überschlagen sich jetzt CDU-nahe Accounts mit der Meldung, ihr Kandidat werde mit einer grünen Schmutzkampagne überzogen. Belege: 1. Es wurden alte Hagel-Videos ausgebuddelt (unverschämt!). 2. Grünennahe Accounts reposten sich (das macht sonst niemand so!!!!).

Working on a little brochure about IT basics for our first semester students, and it is very tempting to simply stitch two dozens relevant xkcd's together.

"Das ist erschreckend"
Acht Prozent der Professoren hatten nach eigenen Angaben in den vergangenen sechs Monaten ein Burnout, berichtet Forscherin Yvette Hofmann. Was die neue Studie PROFESS sonst noch über Professorengesundheit verrät. Im Wiarda-Blog: www.jmwiarda.de/blog/2026/03...

And I appreciate folk are on the 'fuck AI' wagon - believe me I get it - but there are useful applications of LLMs when they are designed and built in responsible ways.

BUT, it's the job of these events to showcase this good practice as a way forward. Much like we did with ML this past decade.

It's about fighting back against years of toxic masculine bullshit and closed off perspectives on what games are, how we make them, and who makes them - and boy did we have a problem with that in Game AI.

And with AI having to deal with all this other shite, we need to be sticking to our guns.

For anyone who’s interested in this stuff; here are a bajillion game devs discussing how they playtest games, and why they do it that way

So hey I realise I never said so publicly, but I'm not at GDC for many of the obvious reasons.

But I want to highlight that by killing off the summits, the longest serving game AI community space is gone.

So yeah, we're hard at work on 2026 news for @conference.aiandgames.com. More news soon.

I am also trying to enjoy Cairn at the moment. Bit hard with only 30 minutes a day. But it looks like I'm a sicko for mountain climbing games 😅

Had a bit of trouble finding the correct versions, but here are my 9 favourite games from my9games.com in no particular order.

So... Where do we go when Bluesky crashes and burns next week? I propose a single shared Google Doc.

Every bsky staff member keeps talking about how the goal is Nice Social Media but then the second they're even remotely pushed back against for something shitty, and they immediately crash out for multiple days crying about their subhuman userbase.

These are always so dumb. Some people obviously lie, most people get the region right, and when was the last map you saw with no labels? Thats what a map is for. Memorizing the shapes of countries is weirdo behavior

🆕 Never Post! Not What You Know, but How You Know: Science Communicators Roundtable Mike talks with science communicators Alex Dainis, Trade Dominguez and Joe Hanson about what it’s like trying to do their job in today’s information environment. * Call us at 651 615 5007 to leave...

Massive delight to get to talk to @alexdainis.bsky.social, @tracedominguez.com and @drjoehanson.bsky.social for @neverpo.st about what it's like being a science communicator right now, in this information environment.

Happy Slay-the-Spire-2-crashing-Steam Day to all who celebrate!

I see the Discourse is once again surrounding the results of an agree-disagree survey question among a hard-to-reach group in a nonprobability sample

Left can't resist being on wrong side of a war Whether it's Jeremy Corbyn or Zack Polanski, their foreign policy stances terrify voters outside core supporters

Well, here’s the thing about being antiwar as an ethical belief: it means you end up opposing most wars. Almost all of them, in fact. This is quite common in people who have consistent beliefs but looks insane to people who have none, or mostly just believe superior people should make the decisions.

Building a new Flash I don't know where to start with this but yeah I'm making flash if flash was built in 2026. I'm making it compatible with Linux,Mac, and PC. If you'd like to support this project I've started a patreo...

Spread the word, an ACTUAL replacement for Flash is on the horizon! Go support this project NOW!!!!!!!!
