Despite creating a billion-dollar franchise - with a new $200M budget Hollywood blockbuster launching in a month - the creator of He-Man's family were unable to afford his dementia and care facility costs, and had to setup a GoFundMe. Mattel gave $5,000.

I'm so addicted to Idol Manager (a game where, surprisingly, you manage an idol group) it's not even funny

Feels so good to wake up on a Saturday 😌

Getting sucked into not one but TWO game jams at a time feels surprisingly good (at first)

Woah have you heard?? Apparently Doksa/Doxa, or whatever her name is, the sexy, smart, funny girl from down the street, is accepting beta reading orders :0 She's got years of writing experience and everything. That's crazy! And there's a limited time discount to help her get verified on VGen???

Eating candy on the train has me feeling like this

Wow, this has been a very productive morning for me, and this can only mean one thing. I will get absolutely nothing else done this whole day.

As a journalist myself, generating stories with AI is so pathetic oh my god

If you are making an indie game I automatically love you

Apparently Sora is shutting down. Rest in pieces bozo

Literally why not cast a trans actor, there is no reason to not do that

As the length of video game productions has swelled to 6+ years, many people are trying to figure out how to reverse that trend. Here's some food for thought from the always-insightful Josh Sawyer, director of Fallout: New Vegas and Pentiment. This week's column: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Sucks that Crimson Desert isn't as good as many (myself included) had hoped, but I'm way more disappointed in 1348 Ex Voto... Sword lesbians deserve a better game (it's me, I'm sword lesbians)

Getting a commission kind of made me remember I have a #vgen profile SO WHY NOT PLUG IT!!! I'm Doxa (or Doksa, whatever) and I do writing #commissions. I'm open to all sorts of projects, genres, formats and all that jazz. My services are also affordable hehe~

Had a productive day today! If anyone needs me in the next 48 hours, I intend to lie motionlessly in my bed

I’m Aysha, a writer and narrative designer looking for full time and contract work! I’ve worked on Life is Strange, Pathologic, Hiveswap, and Magic the Gathering, to name a few. Hire me while the industry still exists!

The Game Narrative Kaleidoscope is now in eBook format ✨ Over 100 essays on writing for video games, from a bunch of super-smart writer-types! But now you can pretend it's smut while you read it! You can even blush at some of the essays to make it extra convincing!!!! www.lulu.com/shop/jon-ing...

Big win for indie games overall!

I have mad respect for the simultaneous translators translating Donald Trump's speeches (though maybe "ramblings" would be more accurate) live on TV, and without laughing. His subject hopping is worse than mine when I don't take my ADHD medication

Honestly making it through today was pretty sexy of me

I've been really enjoying Esoteric Ebb, a narrative game that crosses Disco Elysium with Dungeons & Dragons by way of Douglas Adams. It's goofy and very entertaining. My favorite gag: the main character gets *really* excited any time it seems like an NPC might have a quest for him. Comes out today!

It's so hard to live off of writing. I'm hanging on to my journo job for dear life, and I while I do love it, I'm aware it probably wouldn't be enough to support me in itself. I'm sending hugs to all fellow writers out there, especially those not as lucky as I was after all

Join us tomorrow, March 3 at 6am PT for a new #IndieWorld Showcase! Tune in for roughly 15 minutes of news and updates on indie games coming to Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch. Watch here: ninten.do/6011QdWaX

THE HULK

「——石になれ」 #art

I purchased a game on Steam, let it marinate in my backlog for a bit (more than 2 weeks) and when I finally play it, I'm greeted by AI art... The game was also bad in other ways but that's besides the point, I just feel terrible about giving my money to AI slop, and I can't even refund it ;/

LET'S GOOOO

Very good deal for a very good cause!

Back to uni starting tomorrow... Wish I had more time to play some cool video games before the madness begins anew

mood of the morning.

This feels like a good time to remind everyone to support indie gamedevs and buy indie games! Especially if you are upset by what is happening to the AAA gaming industry – much like I am

PlayStation: We're cutting studios you love. XBox: We're cutting CEOs because we don't have much else to cut. Nintendo: Give us $20 for a GBA rom. Sega: Let's remake our classics with more sex offenders

they are killing xbox so fast its making it extremely difficult to boycott them

I'm really enjoying that new Overwatch season with the 5 new heroes. I expected to play Mizuki most (as a support main with a dislike for flying characters), but Domina unexpectedly stole my heart. I may or may not have spent money on a skin for her and I REGRET NOTHING

be sadako’s valentine?

Still not over that State of Play showcase btw

had a great opportunity to do a haru comm for @itsxanthor.bsky.social again~ look out for her next signing!

PASSED ALL MY UNI EXAMS FOR THIS SEMESTER LET'S GOOOOO

Comfies ❤️‍🩹

GOSH I CAN NOW FINALLY SAY WHAT I'VE BEEN PLAYING THIS PAST WEEK!!! I got early access to Pathologic 3 (perks of working as a journo) and I heavily recommend it! It officially released yesterday so it is now available for purchase, go play it!

PLAY MY DEMOOOOO

Playing video games is so much better than attending university ngl

2025 was an INSANE year for indies, so thank you to all who put Detective Instinct with their favorites of the year. For a first-time developer especially, it means a lot! If interesting, heartfelt mystery stories are your thing, maybe it could be one of your favorites, too! 👀 #gamedev #indiegame

I am normal about Pathologic (me when I lie)

YOU FACE LOUIS GUIABERN. #fanart #metaphor #mrf
