• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the game "Horses" now barred on Steam, Epic and Humble Bundle⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Steam was the first major storefront to refuse to carry Horses, a first-person psychological horror adventure about “the burden of familial trauma and puritan values, the dynamics of totalitarian power, and the ethics of personal responsibility” set on a ranch where nude human beings in horse masks are treated as livestock.

  Publisher Santa Ragione said in November that Valve declined to carry Horses because it contained “content that appears, in our judgment, to depict sexual conduct involving a minor.” Santa Ragione disputed that characterization, but an appeal was rejected and the ban stands.

  Seems like it’s treading a very fine line…

  Gonna go with the wildcard here and suggest Walkscape. It’s still in beta, so access requires a one-time patron sub ($4.50, then cancel) or a free written application through their portal (may take like a week to approve)

  It’s a classic runescape-style RPG where all actions cost “steps” walking. It’s designed to keep screen time to a minimum and walking time to a maximum.

  Character management is generally pretty passive and 1-handed. Definitely much more casual by nature, but encourages much more active participation.

  Not all disabilities are visible.

  And, as with any standardized hardware, it’s a lot easier to ensure games and services (like Proton) perform reliably.

  Time will tell if this sells enough, but it could become the new standard for industry benchmarking/testing.

  Wait, so you’re telling me that “health” bar with 30g of sugar actually was secretly concealing 30g of sugar? Who could have seen this coming??

  Buses are so cheap but the psychological difference between a free bus ride and a $0.75 bus ride is astronomical. All public transit should be free.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨if you're offered a position you can use to advance your career but it involves people without boundaries, do you tell your maybe-future-to-be manager you don't want to work with those people?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s no scenario where I would bring this to a manager. If you aren’t capable of (politely!) setting your own boundaries with your coworkers, you’re going to struggle no matter what team you land on.

  I suspect, given this is a medical setting, the hiring manager has more important things to worry about than “are people taking near the new person again?”

  If you came to me with that demand before hiring I would thank you for your time and wish you luck finding a position that meets your needs. I have my own shit to deal with, training new team members is already an additional load to take on, and having to manage personalities full-time is not in my bandwidth

  I love 2D pixel art, but the 3D art style here does not do it for me - I wish them the best of luck, but I dont think I’ll be picking this one up any time soon.
