We've left #Discord! Last week, Discord wanted our government-issued IDs to keep
chatting about video games. Turns out they're partnered with Palantir. Hard pass!

We're old enough to remember when #gaming didn't require joining a surveillance database. So we built our own server instead.

IRC, Mumble, forums—old-school tech done right, by #gamers who remember when the internet was weird and free. No data mining. No algorithm. No surprise bans. Just us.

Find us at older-gamers.eu

I'd never completed all of the challenges in Pilotwings 64 until tonight. Just got the last one, unlocking the bonus games.

Hey Gamers and Geeks! I'm trying to find people who are:

- safe and inclusive
- non-toxic
- anti-discrimination
- kind (but not to unkind people)
- in love with geeky / nerdy things
- Basically Just Nice
- Especially if you like Discworld

If that sounds like you, please come! I'm actively trying to promote safer gaming spaces online, but especially through our Twitch and Discord communities.

This is a survey all #Discord users need to fill out. Discord wants to know if we want AI to run the app. It'd be using data from pictures, conversations, voice notes, live streams, art, 'learning' from us in the app if they don't get strong enough pushback.

Let them know how you feel before they ruin that app for everyone as well.

It's an official survey and it doesn't even take 5 mins. Please boost and share in your servers too.

When my partners and I brought back and re-issued retro game The 7th Guest, #GOG was the first to reach out to us to carry the title. Great team, great site, great service to #gamers - that’s why this is good news for all. Props to the original team for continuing the vision. #gaming #RetroGaming

“Millions of teens would lose the freedom to enjoy games and social interaction in the name of safety.”

An amendment to the UK Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill could block under 16s from online games where they can interact or talk with other players.

An amazing (and massive) new No Man's Sky update just dropped (for free) - No Man's Sky Voyagers 6.0. A Star Citizen like, liveable new Corvette ship tier has been introduced. You craft it yourself, fly with a friend crew (if you like), explore far and wide.

As mentioned in the deep dive video, it uses new tech simultaneously being developed for both No Man's Sky and the forthcoming Light No Fire.

This is the 49th major update to No Man's Sky across these nine years (total updates so far: 251 -- all free).
