alt Hacker NewsI was suspicious of those random game developers getting quoted, and this is the pinned post of the one giving this cute silly story about slowing down game speed time:
"Announcing TORMENT HEXUS, a match-3 roguelike about putting technofascist CEOs on the wrong side of skyscraper windows!
[...]
And remember: they SHOULD be afraid of us. #indiedev #indiegame"
Weird times.

Eh, I remember the myriad of both "Torture Bin Laden" as well as "Torture George Bush" flash games in the early/mid 2000s. I think it's very on brand for indie developers.

Bluesky has a lot of left-wing extremists where things like murdering CEOs is cool because they are allegedly "technofascist".

I'm not sure if you're saying that your suspicions were valid or not. Suspicious of what, exactly?
Like, yes, the most likely people to respond to such a call for "stuff to put in an article on Kotaku" are probably developers that want some publicity. But this is hardly surprising.
