Fresh on Steam as of *checks notification* 8min ago: tabletop flavored RPG by a guy who left Vanillaware to live in the mountains (true story) and emerged with this. It looks *so* sick. store.steampowered.com/app/4508570/...

PSA this auction ends in 13 hours and many of the posters have zero bids still movieposters.ha.com/c/search/res...

Android is one of the most miserable OSes ever but I am willing to suffer through it for the Ayn Thor

I think this account may be even funnier than the original ”blocked for” because it’s a truly contextless list of funny shit

This applies to all software as well. Real feeling in industry that it’s the End of History and All Has Been Solved when that is categorically false

the internet is about to look very different, and it’s happening a lot faster than folks outside media think

There’s a very interesting problem that’s always present in AAA: Your game doesn’t meet sales targets? Laid off. Your game does? Laid off. It makes the argument against piracy, especially as preservation, VERY hard to do.

somehow I only just learned this but last year they added Samsara to the Sims 4?

Mr. John Oliver please look at RAM prices so that parents will text their gamer sons and daughters “hey did you hear about these RAM prices” and we can all respond “yeah”

Deeply confused about basically every decision made in this remake. I wrote about Black Flag a lot in EVERYTHING IS PERMITTED, and I played it a couple times for that project alone. Cutting out the Abstergo office stuff is just artistic malpractice.

Saw a meme of GenZ baffled by how pre-internet travel worked, and realized we’ve crossed an enshittification threshold where IRL services that once seemed outdated, like travel agents, now seem luxurious: “You meet with a human expert who plans out your whole trip with you” sounds incredible now tbh

MSFT laid off the Elder Scrolls artist who designed the Khajit and the Argonians. She has been with the franchise for 27 years. When she started work there the guy who would eventually helm X-Box and lay her off was 9 years old.

You cannot say shit this vague when you had a Nazi tattoo at some point

Single most Arizona (derogatory) image I’ve ever seen

Remember at the end of The Shield when they told Vic Mackey he had to use Unreal Engine

Game‘s really good! One of my faves of last year, true 7/10 (complimentary, mostly bugs that got fixed) and DLC on the way.

I’ll be very honest: Xbox strategy for gamepass was Stupid as Hell. But also probably the only way you get games like Pentiment or Hi-Fi Rush get funded.

I keep trying to tell people, like the exciting thing about the Steam Machine isn't necessarily the hardware, it's the public release of SteamOS. it's not really the Steam Frame, it's ARM Proton. every time Valve tries a new thing they make another generational leap in software that helps everybody

Kids in the 90s: that's so gay (bad) Kids in the 20s: that's so gay (good)

So I'm looking through the source code of Level 9 Computing (they made Gnome Ranger) and there's some game design documents here for unreleased games. Like they thought about doing a Dune game back before Cryo or Westwood did it, but the most surprising license? Watchmen! github.com/MikeTheTechi...

that devs are lazy or that they didn’t care. turning a doomed game around into even a Metacritic 73 takes a Herculean effort like you wouldnt believe. everyone is doing their very best under the material conditions they find themselves

Gotta nip this in the bud: These games are not unaccounted for. The ICS's collections were owned by the Computerspielemuseum and the USK ratings board. They still own them. This museum project is on the cusp of shutting down, but the games themselves are not going to a dumpster

Made a backend for Dear ImGui for Sega Dreamcast. I can’t believe it works. Sadly, I don’t have a mouse/keyboard for the Dreamcast, but once I do, it’s going to make this thing even more incredible. 😂

‘Musical Theory’? Yeah. My theory is Music fucking rocks

it's always a good idea to say you're doing this after firing all the people who were doing exactly this

so some good news for people who were upset about the rpgmaker forums closing down... some awesome people are archiving the ENTIRE forum and building a new forum on top of that archive! 🎊 rpgmakerchat.com

iDTech4 arguably one of the greatest engines and doing the lord’s work out there for a few folks still making commercial games in it.

whatever value your piece of shit AI has it's because it's ripping off decades of the work of places like Id

“They won’t destroy the idTech team completely” I thought, forgetting these are irrational people cutting on salary value and not what people actually Do

The extremely good I AM YOUR BEAST run from GDQ yesterday is up as a vod now, wicked good, lovely dev commentary youtu.be/JKQoepm1cmI

Now and forever, fuck Microsoft. 🤷🏽‍♀️

This is the correct application of what we now consider ”that Joss Whedon shit”.

To celebrate Hypnospace Outlaw's latest Torment Nexus: Don't Create the Torment Nexus moment, I've written a quick blog with links to all of our Nexuses that have been Tormented 🙃 tetronimike.bearblog.dev/list-of-hypn... Please do let me know if I missed something!!

He died doing what he loved best

Happy 4th of July! Here's an unrelated image!

As someone who didn't actively use a PlayStation for a year, this is fucking terrifying.

To aid @jeffgerstmann.com in Nintendo 64 science, I've compiled all the original Gamespot reviews for N64 and put them on jorkin.wang/n64.html with proper writer attribution and stuff like reviewers tilt. Also, I own the domain jorkin dot wang.

Please help me finish my thesis so I can finally be free of academia 🫶✨ aidetectionsurvey.carrd.co

This was slapped on a bus station and I’ve been laughing at it all morning
