- Reposted by Jeremy BratetichThe funniest thing about this post is that Larian is a universally critically acclaimed studio. So the only criticism he could possibly be complaining about here is the backlash he specifically got from wanting to force his devs to use genAI. Lol. Lmao even
- Reposted by Jeremy BratetichUbisoft unions have unanimously voted to strike from Feb 10-12, due to waves of layoffs, lack of job security, and the end of remote working. (Read more at Insider Gaming)
- Sometimes I think it'd be a good idea for shit-takes to be scored, Metacritic-style, based on how others evaluate their shit-takes. I like to imagine it would encourage more restraint. Harsh words do real damage. You shouldn't have to grow callus on your soul just because you want post shit-takes.
- i made an upscrolled and my username is ‘MyComputer’ lol
- didn’t take any photos other than this but was good to see the numbers today in the city also unfortunately had to tell some Nazis to fuck off but so it goes

- Reposted by Jeremy BratetichOne last boost for the evening crowd. This has raised a truly staggering amount of money, thank you all!! Also a couple people have said this is one of their favorite videos of mine, which is very nice to hear.

- Reposted by Jeremy BratetichI guess I do think if you participated in the arrest of a five-year-old you are probably just fundamentally incompatible with society. That you are not a safe person for humanity to be around, generally
- Reposted by Jeremy BratetichAs one of Freeplay's 11(ish) board members, I want to add my personal 2 cents to a few things about Freeplay in these fried af times. It's important to know I'm just a meager part of the Voltron that is Freeplay, and these are my personal opinions + do not reflect the view of the org or the board
- Reposted by Jeremy BratetichPerhaps the most disgraceful of all the “national security” laws that have been passed since Sept 11 2001. Albanese would have been a good, compliant minister in the Howard govt. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
- Reposted by Jeremy BratetichI interviewed Freeplay's co-founder Katharine Neil a couple of years ago about its origins & legacy. There was SO much fascinating stuff that I couldn't publish but I'm still really proud of the piece & feel as if documenting this stuff holds a tiny bit of importance too.
- Reposted by Jeremy BratetichFreeplay is the longest running independent games festival in the world. This is incredibly sad news and it needs all the support it can get.
- An update: Unfortunately Freeplay didn’t secure multi-year funding and is potentially looking at its last year of operation. We’re exploring what comes next & want your input. Read our full statement here: www.freeplay.net.au/survey2026 Help us decide our next step here: forms.gle/W4ZSns1bGCX1...
- Reposted by Jeremy Bratetichone more thing about freeplay, and an issue that's been on my mind for a while (alt text available):
- Reposted by Jeremy BratetichIt is so, so, SO hard to put on any arts or games event. I cannot stress enough that you should never take them for granted or think ‘well they’ll just figure it out’. Running any event is a job outside of your (sometimes more than 1) fulltime job. Find ways to help and support them, champion them.

- Reposted by Jeremy BratetichAustralia’s inability to recognise and support its burgeoning arts fields is endemic. Our systems are designed to keep our culture regressive and it’s very embarrassing.
- terrible news coming out of Freeplay. I really hope it & Parallels can continue. "Of the 81 arts organisations supported by Creative Enterprises in the 2026-2029 funding round, none are games/interactive arts organisations." (freeplay.net.au/survey2026) This is so supremely fucked

- Reposted by Jeremy BratetichThis is actually devastating. Please respond to the survey and rally behind Freeplay to see if we can support the ongoing org and its team to continue delivering pivotal events and connection points that we so desperately need.

- Reposted by Jeremy BratetichCancel. Genuinely. Cancel. A rejection at the border is a permanent mark against entry, forever. If you insist, follow dangerous territory protocols: know your embassy details, make sure someone knows your travel details, and have funds for emergency legal, health, and departure expenditures.
- Reposted by Jeremy BratetichIf Greens support this fascistic bill and enshrine Zionist capture, it will destroy them. Your voters will see sellouts and cowards caving on our liberties because you're not up for the fight. Because you're scared of getting yelled at in the newspapers. @davidshoebridge.bsky.social
- Reposted by Jeremy BratetichGetting grok to publicly strip a woman’s likeness online or alter her image isn’t just horrifying at the level of the individual, it’ll be used to get us fired, too. It’s a technique to keep us in the home popping out babies because we lost our teaching job when some guy sent porn of us to our boss.
- Reposted by Jeremy BratetichAn administration driven by greed, cruelty, and frankly a sort of empty-hearted boredom. The death of innocents so they can beat their chests and line their already fat wallets. Whatever comes next has to at least look like justice. We cannot just turn the page for the sake of one party’s comfort.

- Reposted by Jeremy BratetichI've been asked before if I use Generative AI. And my answer is: "No. Why would I want to undermine the economy, the environment, artistic expression, and human dignity, all at the same time?" That's what all Gen AI is: a cancer that makes a very few rich people wealthier at the expense of all.

The Gaza genocide might not be as in your face as it was a year or even six months ago but shit ain’t over. Israel/the US just put forward an ethnic cleansing proposal masquerading as a peace plan.
