40% of *everything being shipped everywhere on Earth* is fossil fuels

Just an absolute laughing-stock clown-show of an energy source. This is laughably absurd, why do we treat this like it's normal and good

Fossil fuels are a satirical fuel

Global shipping transports fossil fuels and runs on oil: 40% of shipped products are fossil fuels or derivatives, while 99% of international shipping’s energy demand is met by oil-based fuels.

When I say the politics will become increasingly obvious... I mean look at this. If you want to unite the left/centre and split the Tories, without a big spending committment there's no better option.

On the substack this week.... I looked at the route back into the EU. It's going to become increasingly obvious that the politics works for a manifesto pledge. What are the barriers? What would a negotiation look like? How might another referendum play out? samf.substack.com/p/the-route-...

I'm pleased to announce Launchpad — my creator discovery, organic campaigns and key distribution tools – for indie games! 🚀

This has been in development for ~2 years with a cohort of early access customers across the industry.

Here's how it helps your #indiegamemarketing:

Another useful comparison: if any "traditional industry" had seen job losses comparable to the UK games industry in the last few years, it'd be treated as a national crisis on the front of every newspaper for months and months, because those are considered Proper Jobs and making games is not.

Are PEGI costs a significant part of release costs for a dev/pub? Yes. Would I still love to see all games available on Steam in the UK/EU actually have a human play, vet and rate them? Also yes. YouTube aside, I can't imagine this not happening with films available on Netflix/Amazon etc.

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*. What the HELL? 1/

the market for petrol cars won't slowly disappear, like we'd always thought, it'll reach a tipping point in the near future then collapse entirely

Who are KVLTGAMES? Well, according to a German-only Wikipedia page... Nazis. Like literally neo-nazis who made a Turner Diaries simulator that got their previous publisher banned from Steam.
