It’s mind-blowing to me that US tech bloggers really believe that Apple isn’t releasing stuff like “screen-sharing to your Mac” in the EU because “the DMA created uncertainty”. Come on, there are many precedents that Apple can be a petty, vindictive corporation, and this is clearly another example.

American Apple bloggers are calling 3rd party app stores laws from the EU & Japan hypocrite because they don’t include video game consoles… When I do my email, work, banking, and payments on a PS5, you can bet I’ll support government regulation in that space. Until then, I find this is really grasping at straws to defend corporations that don’t need defending.

Looking into the state of video game jobs for a friend’s kid, it looks like absolute shit: 80% of postings are for super senior devs with 15+ years of experience, 19% are for devs with 3-5 years of experience, and the final 1% is the obligatory intern program for tax breaks. Fucking hell.

Friday’s Monster of the Week #TTRPG game wasn’t very inspired (that’s the downside of low-prep games: sometimes I just don’t get any good ideas on the spot), but I managed to drag multiple characters’ silly backgrounds into a weird scary plot twist!

To all the people pronouncing “GIF” with a hard “G” because it stands for “Graphical”: I wish you good luck for pronouncing “LASER”.

The diversity of people and bodies in the Apple Fitness app is really good — hats off to whoever is responsible for that!

I historically had near-zero interest and knowledge of Warhammer 40k, but this whole thing about a new female Custodian character made me look into it just so I could better laugh at all the morons complaining about it. Man, 40k lore is cool but fucked up.

It’s so funny to me that one of the #TTRPG arguments against fudging rolls is you should instead fudge rolling. That is: pick whether to roll and take that result, or not roll and choose the outcome. As if there was some big cosmic moral difference between the two 😂

“The EU is punishing businesses for becoming too successful!” Well, yes, that’s what governments are supposed to do. See also, I don’t know, phone and internet lines, train tracks, fire-fighters? It’s not that hard to think for two minutes about this.
