2 months have already passed and I haven't even blinked yet

Liquid Glass? More like Liquid Ass amirite?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I’m almost 41 but you know how it is

Sakamoto Days is getting a movie? Aww yeahhh 🥰

Heads up! Steam recently updated trailer categories in Store Page Admin, which caused our trailer to be automatically hidden, even though we hadn’t changed anything. Only screenshots were showing. It's fixed now, but worth checking if your game has a public store page! #indiedev #gamedev

007 First Light looks cool but wth is Nathan Drake doing cosplaying as Bond

Soundly might’ve sent me the most annoying unsolicited e-mail ever in the history of e-mail

Reading the news today

The FUCK AI talk I gave at @amazefest.bsky.social is now available for everyone to see. In this talk I explain in layman's terms how the so-called AI actually works so that you can draw your own conclusions. Spoiler: it's dumber than you think. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqP-...

I know it's Gamescom 2025 fomo week, but as a parent of a small kid I will blink twice and suddenly it's Gamescom 2026 fomo week

yeah

Now that Player2 is entering the game, I recalled a funny thing that happened when our daughter was born. I've never been a super heavy sleeper, I always wake up at the tiniest of sounds. Back then I was so tired from the experience of childbirth, on the third day I fell asleep on the hospital bed

I asked GPT why Sam Altman spreads baseless hype about "AGI coming soon" and it offered to create a "hype vs. hedging" curve for me about his statements. Honestly, the results are pretty funny

Just in time for the end of summer break, I broke my ankle. Well, sprained is closer to the truth. Anyway, do not combine flip flops and soft ground physics.

After 3 weeks of executive dysfunction I finally did it. I made a phone call! Whew now I can maybe relax for the rest of my summer break.

The "gen z stare" was originally invented in Finland at the turn of the millenium, by literal boomers, a comedy group called "Kummeli". It used to be called "tonnin seteli".

After a failed attempt at viewing the sun at the local observatory today (the sky got overcast immediately after I got out of work) I went and climbed an old Firewatch tower nearby. The view was nice. My legs are still shaking.

We've been working on the same game for years now, basically on coffee breaks while we keep the lights on. It's still quite expensive and time-consuming to produce said game, especially with the amount of attention to small details we aspire to.

What frustrates me most about my profession is: often it feels like what I *should* be doing is create a "personality brand" to sell my games. Seems to me that's what a lot of small indies are doing, consciously or not. Put the clint-eastwood-grumpy-old-man gif here.

Nintendo Switch 2 is honestly... pretty great. Everything runs smoother. The screen feels a lot bigger compared to the original, or even the Steam Deck. 120hz is butter smooth. There's not a lot of new games yet, but every old game I have just runs better and loads faster.

People and media often say Balatro was made by 'one guy'. I feel like that unfortunately may be stoking the flames of this David vs. Goliath narrative a tiny bit No it was not 'one guy', look at the dang in-game credits

When you’re running a game studio and get periodic reminders that shit is really hard

Mfw I crawl out of the studio after finishing my latest game

Behind the curtain, shadows of the classic Choppa haunt our scenes to this day #indiedev #gamedev

Watch this video about Carl Barks without feeling something, I dare you www.youtube.com/watch?v=twzA...

I accidentally watched the MacGyver intro with audio and was AGAIN transported into my childhood and now I'm in a rabbit hole of listening to every Disney afternoon cartoon intro song on youtube or something they can't keep getting away with this!

Crap I think I picked the worst possible time to contact publishers (during gdc, to which I don’t have a ticket or any means to get to anyhow)

"hey liberals watch this" *crashes the economy*

Cold e-mails are annoying but have you tried gen-AI cold e-mails?

I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.

I am feeling physically ill watching Putin's lackeys torment Zelensky today in the US TV.

I’ve almost written the whole darn thing! It’s happeningggggg

"Writing for games is quite difficult!" exclaimed the man after deciding to add narrative elements to a game that probably didn't even ultimately need them

I've learned (and I am still learning) how to run a game studio for the last seven years doing both creative and biz. Here's a list of guidelines that work for us and might be useful for others that were lessons I've incorporated with our experience and guidance from others. 🧵

The news right now about Europe’s safety & one of our ”allies” having swallowed our enemy’s bait whole, without a lubricant, isn’t doing good things to my mental health. Probably gonna try to just not read the news for a couple of days.

Friends in the US - I want to remind you that back in 1941 your grandfathers knew what the correct course of action was. It still is.

Living somewhat near the arctic circle is seeing this phenomenon for a few hours during the shortest day of the year (December, 21) Day length was roughly 5 hours where I live. Today, exactly one month later (January, 21) we're already at 6 and a half hours.

Who would've thought Nintendo would join the leakers and leak Switch 2 ahead of February reveal

Looks nice! www.youtube.com/watch?v=itpc...

I wrote this post about the illusion that indie is a 'superior development style' about a week ago and waffled on whether or not it was still relevant enough to post. Aftermath putting up a podcast on the same topic today convinced me to finally shove it out the door. auratriolo.com/blog/2025/01...
