Not only was he a great actor he was a progressive activist who supported LGBTQ rights, universal healthcare, destigmatizing mental health issues, and was fiercely opposed to nationalism. He truly lived the ideals of Star Trek.
Patrick Stewart has sadly passed away at the age of 86.

2018 indie game of the year Celeste has been pulled from sale on Xbox over the BDS boycott. It's the second indie darling to exit Microsoft's gaming platform this year over the tech giant's business relationship with the government of Israel. kotaku.com/indie-game-of-the…

Tim Sweeney getting upset at Steam's AI disclosure is an endless stream of funny content. He claims it's bad for developers, but what he actually means is it's bad for Epic Games. Because Epic are literally building UE6 around generative AI, which they say will play a "central role" If generative AI is good, and developers are proud to use it, there shouldn't be an issue disclosing it. But the problem is gamers don't agree, and some actively avoid games using AI. This in turn will mean avoiding UE6 games using their fancy gen AI integrations, which hurts Epic's business model. It's another one of those things where companies are not on the same page as gamers. Gamers want engine developers to solve problems they are having (eg poor performance, traversal stutter, visual artefacts). They don't want those problems to remain unsolved while Epic makes it easier to fill storefronts with low quality AI-made games. Transparency is always good for consumers and shouldn't be sacrificed. Ever. Why hide the use of a feature if you think the feature is good? If it's a "hate mob" issue, maybe time to reassess the messaging. Prove that AI use is good, instead of hiding it. Because if it's actually good, it should be easy to explain and show why. The work speaks for itself with these things. If Epic are ever wondering why gamers love Steam and avoided the Epic Games Store for so long, it's because Valve continue to deliver what gamers want. Being hostile to gamers doesn't work.

my stance on the No Kings protests is that they’re still obviously ideologically hollow, but America’s protest culture is so deteriorated that just normalizing and familiarizing people with the idea of meeting up and protesting is valuable in its own right.
WTF is the point of these “No Kings” protests? There is no list of demands. WTH ARE YOU PROTESTING? Trump Bad? Yeah, everyone knows that already. But what are you demanding to change?

Hi everyone, how's it going? Honestly, I'm not doing well at all... Why, you ask...? Because the game our whole team had poured our hearts and souls into for about a year and a half was suddenly canceled...!! I mean, I lost my job overnight. Talk about a bolt from the blue... So I decided to make an announcement now. To see if anyone might be interested in working with us or investing in our projects. And here's the announcement. Actually, I started a company back in March of last year. It's a game studio specializing in video game design, direction, and narrative writing. (And... just between us, it's also a secret organization dedicated to protecting world peace.) The name is... "CRASH KEYS"!! crashkeys.com/ My original plan was to reveal CRASH KEYS when we announced our new game. That was supposed to happen next year... in 2027. But then came that whole "bolt from the blue" incident... So I ended up having to move things up and go public with it today instead. With that in mind, I would like to humbly ask you all for a favor... Please give us some work!! At this rate, our company might literally CRASH into a million pieces. My team and I may be forced to survive on nothing but cicada shells collected from a run-down park. So please, help us!! You're our only hope!! For work requests, investment proposals, words of encouragement, or invitations to Law of Attraction seminars, we would be very grateful if you could contact us using the "CONTACT" form on our official website: crashkeys.com/ Any support you could offer would mean the world to us. We sincerely look forward to hearing from you!

Right now, tanks and military vehicles are advancing in eastern Gaza City under extremely heavy air cover, with gunfire everywhere. I’m talking to my friend at this very moment, and I can barely hear his voice because of the intense gunfire around him. It seems that more areas will be seized from us tonight, and we have no idea what awaits us in the coming hours. Talk about Gaza and what is happening here. Share what you see. don’t stop. The situation is literally spiraling out of control.

Five years ago, Monster Crown: Red King introduced the world to the colorful, cryptic, and creature-filled land of Crown Island, and with it, the Monster Crown saga that continued in Monster Crown: Sin Eater. To fans old and new, let's celebrate five years of Monster Crown!
