Wayward Strand is out today – it's a lovely, gentle, well-acted narrative adventure that moves at its own measured pace while simultaneously making you keenly aware of the passage of time. I was quite touched by it.

So the subscription-based Maya LT is getting replaced with this thing where you buy magical DLC tokens in bulk (starting at $300) and use each magical token to unlock Maya for 24 hours. I encourage the Blender Foundation to keep kicking the shit out of Autodesk.

Pssst Get your build engineer to leave the room. They gone? Ok Sometimes continuous integration / continuous deployment (CI/CD) is just a batch file you run every day when leaving for lunch that runs an Unreal packaging operation that outputs the files into a Dropbox folder

The entire reason debate works as a competition is because it DOESN'T inherently produce truth. Otherwise tournaments would be very boring as the team assigned the morally correct side of the proposition would always win.

Solar power set to relieve thousands of Belgian low-income households

David Roberts

@drvolts

Sep 11

The poor are particularly vulnerable during Europe's energy crisis, so Belgium plans to install 400,000 solar panels on social housing units, giving low-income households a buffer against gas prices.

euronews.com

The project is being carried out by a Belgian cooperative made up of 62 social housing companies in the region of Flanders.

This thread is a mic drop on the new neoliberal plague: the insanity of EVs that make things worse. This one car requires enough batteries for 280 e-bikes and has a bigger carbon footprint than many gas cars.

Friends, an incredible videogame called Wayward Strand (

) comes out next week. It blends elements of ersatz Australiana like Round the Twist with a jaunty investigative story and a gently alternative-sci-fi world.

I can't speak to other genres, but in my experience Steam's algorithmic curation just does not work for puzzle games. The categories in that screenshot could not be less relevant to me as a puzzle game developer or as a fan of the genre :(

Yesterday was bad. It was, in fact, very, very bad. If Johnson was a disaster, Truss has set out to be worse. I very much doubt that any prime minister has set out to create so many conflicts from the outset of their premiership in the way that Truss has. A thread….
