Ghosts of #AGDQ2026. See you all in July.

Something a little weird about the stuff I do for GDQ is that if I'm doing my job right, most of the event is spent staring at server metrics to ensure nothing is broken. In that sense this was the most boring GDQ I've had in a while. But that's a good thing. See you all for #SGDQ2026. #AGDQ2026

Slightly diminish a game: Blaster Journeyman

Nah, we’ll never have more than 99 different bid war options, don’t worry about it” #agdq2026

#AGDQ2026 Every mainline event staff badge since we started making them. Plus a couple bonuses.

Him: My sphere of responsibilities is a gas giant. Me: That’s more a sphere of influence, then. Me: Getting face time with you requires a Hohmann transfer. Me: The fastest way onto your schedule involves the Oberth effect. Me: Your Google Calendar is a pork chop plot.

On my way to #AGDQ2026 and I'm getting -rained- on while waiting for the parking shuttle. This is not January.

Today is the last day that you can repost this image

The Mega Man “ugly holiday sweater” I ordered from Ali Express just arrived. It is child sized, and too itchy and plasticky to put on a child. But it’s definitely ugly. Tag yourself, I’m cunty Rert Man.

After catching a video about it on @tastinghistory.bsky.social a couple years ago I've made it a new tradition to make booze nog from scratch every year for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. Came out extra fluffy this year.

Looking for a gift or something to play this holiday season? Look no further than the GalaxyTrail library! All GalaxyTrail games are on sale on Steam, and you can acquire the entire library for less than 45 USD!

Bro, this is an average GDQ hangout. You're not special.

So this wasn't -quite- as simple as I'd hoped, but it wasn't too bad. Hats off to the devs of MoltenVK for making this at least spit sensible debug warnings when I got something wrong. #GameDev

So that side project I've been working on lately? Yeah. Soon. #GameDev store.steampowered.com/app/4127590/...

My niece is missing. She was last seen in Patterson, NJ on Oct 25th. Please help us find her.

This morning when I got up, I had no way of displaying Steam Input glyphs. By mid-afternoon, not only had I written a widget to display lone glyphs, but I'd managed to embed them into the font rendering code using some private-codepoint trickery. It was a good day. #GameDev

Working on a piece of Vulkan code, getting a warning about some resource not being freed at the correct time. Look in the Vulkan docs, find an example of how to fix it. Spend about 30 minutes reworking the bits in question. Hit compile and run. Works the first fucking try. I am a golden god.

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.

25 years in, we are NOT allowing genAI music onto OC ReMix, full stop. We're 100% against genAI music and are a community geared toward authentic creativity and artistic development. You don't get that by doing text prompts. ocremix.org/remix/OCR04918 youtube.com/watch?v=fUsg...

At GalaxyTrail, there's really only one AI we use and appriciate. And that's Pangu.

The bees have discovered Brutalism

Something I wrote on a lark 14 years ago has now processed one million total donations. (Plus a little extra, but the reasons for this number being a bit lower than reality is a little complicated, so let's just keep it simple.)

Watching this video 10 times has significantly improved my mood.

"unerasable proof of failure" my person you can hide a game from your history it's not that big a deal

my game is good, the algorithm just ignores me my game is good, the algorithm just ignores me my game is good, the algorithm just ignores me my game is good, the algorithm just ignores me my game is good, the algorithm just ignores me

I have a tradition with a friend of mine where every one of his birthdays, as well as Christmas, we take a trip to one of the few local used game stores around here that still exists. I picked this up while I was there. Still less expensive than an original cart, which I also happen to own.

Age verification? This was my first cable box.

Earlier today I got a response from one of those places that offers advice on resumes and I got the most "tell me you're AI without telling me you're AI" responses possible, I think: "...you have more than 39 years of professional experience..." (1/?)

Show at -least- as much love as a 94 year old grandmother still sending cards to her 43 year old grandson.

To honor Ozzy's larger-than-life rock and roll legacy, we're making Brütal Legend *FREE* on itch.io: doublefine.itch.io/brutal-legend But this incredible deal will only last for 666 minutes, as the prophecy foretold. So get yourself clicking, before it disappears like a demon in the night... 🤘 🖤

Happy 11th Anniversary, Freedom Planet! Here's to more years of Avalice!

Ghosts of #SGDQ2025. See you all in six months.

I can finally talk about it! I'm so excited to bring this all to you.

We also just passed $100k through the Twitch Charity tool! #SGDQ2025

I hope everyone likes the new donation experience and the ability to donate via Twitch! @softer.bsky.social, @hatetosayit.com, @uraniumanchor.bsky.social, @chrishanel.com and I put in a lot of work to try and make the experience of supporting this incredible cause as nice as possible!

15 and a half hour drive later... #SGDQ2025

I told you we’d be back

11 and a half years ago, during AGDQ2014, I threatened to fire Obda if he didn't do this. Maybe this would have become a thing anyway, but it ended up being such a perfect moment in history.

Anybody who missed the runs from yesterday, here they are on YouTube! #RPGLB2025 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tpr-... www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6Fu...

They put my (and TheAxeMan's) game on the badge! #RPGLB2025

Failure can be a better teacher than success, but only when you understand -why- something was a failure. Corollary: Sometimes it's better in the long run to let people fail rather than rescue them from it.

You know those times when you're angry at a PB? Yeah, this is one of those times. youtu.be/5z14PztoWK8 Died early in Area 8 to an incredibly stupid hover mistake, but still managed to shave another ~7 seconds off.

If you know, you know. 🫡
