People are in denial about how quickly they could become disabled, unhoused or food insecure It can happen to anyone & it can happen in an instant Folks act like those receiving assistance have failed That they should “try harder” The system is rigged. It’s failed us, not the other way around

I secretly think that about ALL the “classic” franchises clogging up the cultural broadband these days.

Don't you know that your game is dead and over and will never make another sale again? Why are you fixing BUGS? Why haven't you released a new game yet???

user comment I saw today: "Not sure why you made these multiple updates of this game i mean most of us have already beaten the game, its best to make a new game" The game in question has been on sale for literally ONE MONTH. #gamedev

GAME IDEA: SPACE IDOLS ⭐️ Many of you know about this idea. You go with a popular intergalactic boy band on an interplanetary tour/inspiration trip. It’s mean to work similar to MonRoad, but the LOCATIONS are PLANETS.

The classic refrain is: constraint is the mother of creativity. Similarly, friction is the father of discovery. It feels paradoxical when we're conditioned to obsess over efficiency. But the only perfect efficiency is doing nothing. A ship in the harbor is safe, but that's not what it's built for.

💯 Ignorance re: AI's limitations in creative workflows so often seems borne of the idea that creatives start with a perfect imagination of what's needed, and the process is in the way. Couldn't be more false. The process is how you find what you need. Friction is the only way to heat the forge. 🧵

if we talking about the game awards can we talk about their silly games for impact category aka the diversity award. its so silly they will put queer games and games with poc leads (all indie btw) in that category but never nominate them in anything else

if you see this, post your bird art ✎ᝰ𓅓

I'm going to start putting together some free info and resources for indie game devs looking to self-publish. I see a lot of people making simple mistakes, and hear a lot about being overwhelmed by what they need to do. Do folk have specific self-publishing questions they'd want answered?

ok one last post -- oldheads are always going to "why is the web dying.... how can we get the kids invested in the free and open web" bro the kids can't read. that's why the web is dying. first things first

how did i go so long not knowing we were literally teaching people to read wrong. i knew something wasn't right but jesus christ www.apmreports.org/episode/2019...

ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA. Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.

Woken up with a horrific headache today. It can only mean one thing...

id never post a youtube video again if i got a debunk this serious

Offline. Enjoyed the demos, don't forget to wishlist if you enjoyed them. We played: 💐 BloomTale 🦦 Otterly Lost 📸 Opus: Prism Peak These demos were also very cute & adorable. Glad to share them with the community tonight! We sent some love over to @maisiemomo.bsky.social ~ say hi. See ya ♡

Been made by people who love video games.

The amount of times I’m in gamer centric spaces and have to hold my breathe hearing something so confidently said yet incorrect is hilarious

lol she got his ass and he knows it

a few months ago I said "having generative AI handle absolutely anything with regards to healthcare is a nightmare and should be banned" and a bunch of people made fun of me and called me stupid. anyways,

Wind.

www.videogameschronicle.com/news/square-... I imagined trying to get through bug reports written by an LLM and immediately got an honest to god headache. What do you mean I can’t even go back to the person who wrote it and ask for more details because there isn’t one, but it can still make shit up?

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

For some reason the media is not mentioning that the reason GTA6 is being delayed is they fired 40 staff over threats of unionization and now the rest of their staff are revolting

Ever been so annoyed you made a video?

Considering Fiction Factory Games technically only has one employee, I'm trying to figure out how I can fire myself for unionizing and then delay my own game and still make billions of sales. Like, that seems to be the gravy train. (I swear this is a corporate account and not my personal snark box)

This image is worth a thousand words. A thousand words will never be enough to describe the state of the planet. So we tried to say it with 100,000 words and 1,000 illustrations in End of Lines. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #art #digitalart
