Somehow stayed up to 4am watching the Game Awards and I've just been left with an overhanging feeling of frustration and anger at the state of the industry and the sheer disconnect between image and reality
It's an awards show almost without awards, centering adverts and celebrities over winners and creators, unable to address the major issues impacting creators like their concerns over genocide in Palestine or the masses of layoffs that went into making many of the games it chose to center
Far from creators being important, you highlight one game that proudly chose to use AI voices and another that mere weeks ago had a long investigation against published in IGN for how it treated women and all their employees (Black Myth: Wukong)
Creators are the bottom rung of dirt in such a so-called 'celebration' of gaming, presented by brands so you consume, consume, consume ign.com/articles/how-black-myt…
How Black Myth: Wukong Developer’s History of Sexism Is Complicating its Journey to the West - IGN
For an indie studio that has only released mobile titles within China, this widespread acclaim over Black Myth: Wukong is a largely unprecedented feat, particularly for a game that has not been released yet.Rebekah Valentine (IGN)
You have a developer trying to thank someone they lost being ushered off by swelling music and a WRAP IT UP sign on a teleprompter because they need to make way for more ads
It makes you wonder why you make games, write about them, when clearly you don't matter
And it makes the industry seem immature that it can't handle serious issues and has been so unable to cultivate creators as public people that despite economic superiority over other mediums you need to let celebrities talk more about broken feet than award winners because you have no one who can be a similar face and name representative
And no, Kojima isn't that, but 10 minutes to him for a teaser while winners say nothing stings
It's just frustrating, honestly angry, and overshadows even the few games shown that look interesting to play (even if it shouldn't be a focus)

this seems like it's supposed to be what NMS was supposed to be.
I hope they can have a good release and if they have to tone down some features for the release, that they end up supporting the game for many years to come, like they did with NMS.

I second this message from this bot BUT! Be careful because this website appears to have a growing number of people reading literal nazi propaganda. Some books are fine, and some books are questionable.
This is just a reminder to be careful when listening there, because I know it could be upsetting to stumble across there.
Also, your public library likely has a deal with places like this which also provide similar services, so don't be afraid to branch out if the books in one space aren't to your liking.
Edit: also this isn't to say preserving that media isn't important, you just need to be careful going in.

Draft: staging: Add xdg-placement protocol for window positioning in "workspaces" (second version) (!264) · Merge requests · wayland / wayland-protocols · GitLab
Hello everyone! This is a new attempt to resolve the issues clients designed for stacking window managers are facing when they want to set their own...GitLab
to be fair, what are compositors like stardust supposed to do when there just isn't a global coordinates system?
i mean, i get scrolling compositors aren't popular and i can't find any active ones but stardust at least is active and has a genuine use-case for non-objective coordinate systems given wayland doesn't know what a z axis is
I really don't want to see a global coordinate system, unless all compositors allow turning self-positioning windows off.
With Wayland, apps are finally appearing on the correct (active) monitor, whereas with X lots of apps and all the windows they create just open on the leftmost monitor (coordinates 0,0), even though my primary and active monitor is to the right of it.
Thanks to e. g. KWin rules, users (but not apps) can still place individual windows on specific screens.
