Omg I forgot to post Knife Chip!

Every day I see some horrifying thing (today it's ICE killing someone in Minneapolis) and then I have to look at my work computer like "okay let's review this cute little design here" like nothing is happening. Sometimes the routine comforts me. Other times, it feels absurd and painful.

Stay tuned 🎲 #gamedev #indiedev

And one more shout-out for a great curator page run by @bimbo.city - Under 100 games. Spotlighting great stuff that has under 100 Steam User Reviews, which according to THE ALGORITHM means that they're not real games yet (Leave Steam reviews on everything you enjoy, even if it's just a 'cool game')

Want to discover great posts beyond who you already follow? The For You feed, built by @spacecowboy17.bsky.social, is a personalized algorithmic feed based on your likes. It's one of our favorites for finding cool conversations across the network. Try it here: bsky.app/profile/spac...

rat mail!!

The automated sexual abuse that Musk is doing right now should be national news. People should be going to prison for this shit. The logical conclusion to generative image creation and the internet, pure public automatic violence. Every Pizzagate fear just out in the open.

"You should know: all the people who ever tried to kill me are dead." 58 weeks. 47,750 stitches. One charmingly deadly assassin. @bioware.bsky.social #dragonage #dragonagetheveilguard #dragonageveilguard #DAVe #crossstitch #crafts #lucanis #lucanisdellamorte

I despise the noise and suddenness of fireworks, but at least I understand what is happening and can use headphones/ear plugs. My heart goes out to all pets tonight 🫂

given how common the "you're the sole survivor of a spaceship crash on a hostile planet" story is in factory games, someone should make a reverse-factory game where you play as an alien tracking down and destroying colonizers who fall out of the sky and try to turn your planet into green tech cards

Pretty sure I met @benbatemanmtg.bsky.social without yet knowing who he was on a random Flixbus to Amsterdam two years ago? I was headed to TwitchCon Rotterdam, not MagicCon which was taking place in the capital at the same time. Must've chatted for hours, completely oblivious, just extroverted.

Give your senior engineer and devops team a heart attack with this one weird trick

Had this thought whilst being gently mocked for not being on TikTok the other day. It is okay for us to have our almost-middle-aged website dammit! Forums, IRC chatrooms, the good versions of social media, they're all gone now! We need SOMEWHERE to peacefully recreate our dumb old internet

Building lego models is oddly relaxing 🦴

It was reprehensible when people mocked condom usage at the height of the AIDS pandemic. It is just as depraved to mock those wearing masks to reduce the spread of airborne viruses today. Whenever someone takes any kind of step to protect public health, they should be applauded, not mocked.

2025 was brutal for games media, but I'm seeing some glimmers of hope as worker-owned sites like @aftermath.site, @rascal.news, and @giantbomb.bsky.social have carved out vital spaces in the games community. Earlier this year, I made a huge Indie Games Media starter pack for y'all. Let's celebrate.

People were asking if there’s Solitaire behind the dark patterns and… not really? It’s more dark patterns - the Solitaire framing gives them a bunch of unrevealed cards they can determine the value of as needed to either make you win (feels good) or lose (forcing you to spend money to keep going)

In case you were wondering what it’s like to boot a free to play mobile game in 2025

If you read any books at all this year (regardless of the medium used to read it) then you've done well. You're ahead of the illiteracy curve and I hope you keep reading and enjoying it. Good job 👏

on account of many a gay's awakening (including me, obviously)

Reading this, all you have to remember is that OpenAI itself reports 800,000,000 weekly users, of which apparently 0,15% are having conversations related to self-harm, and OpenAI is aware that its systems can and do fail in preventing further harm. It's just too profitable to stop, I guess.

Lets chill and run a shop maybe? Playing TCG Shop Sim in a bit, chatting first! Come say hi! twitch.tv/raeofthelight

I've used many tools to manage my work as a brand manager and content strategist in 2025. Three of these tools I consider mainstays, which are: - @obsidian.md for content creation; - @proton.me for data sheets; - @kagi.com for market research. What tools were your top 3 mainstays in 2025?

Christmas tradition: My grandpa - who got me interested in computers in the first place - presents me with a recent IT issue of his hoping I can help 😅 As a hobby, he picks up discarded tech and tries to preserve (parts of) it. This time: a laptop SSD. Cue me speed-reading FOSS documentation.

Free right now on the Epic Game Store but better act fast while you can.

"I'm dealing with my #MentalHealth" is a good reason to cover Constance. To be fair, I had no reason to celebrate the holidays for the past 4 years now (aka losing my job every Christmas). 🔴LIVE: www.twitch.tv/gamingcopywr... #IndieGame #Metroidvania @bluebackpack.bsky.social @byterockers.games

Happy holidays from your Berlin-based indie game publisher & developer 🎄

Lucanis Dellamorte the man that you are 😭 #dragonage

What kind of Magic do these people think we're playing? 😂 #MtG #MagicTheGathering

the game league of legends has a role called “bottom lane” (or ADC) so they handed out a ✨BOTTOM OF THE YEAR✨ award 😭

Today I made a candy glass sugar cookie based on Ellsworth Kelly's 'Austin' chapel (2018) on the Blanton Museum grounds.

Did you know we hired an entire orchestra to record our #Soundtrack? 🎻 Hand-crafted by Maximilian Diversi and brought to life by the German Film Orchestra Babelsberg: Listen to the music of #LetThemTrade on most streaming platforms - or grab a the album on Steam: https://bit.ly/4aqGesy

it's my birthday today! here's some art i'm pretty fond of from this year ◡̈

Okay real talk, the only sense in which GenAI is "here to stay" is that even after the bubble pops, AI is digital asbestos that is poisoning everything and we'll probably be picking the detritus out of everywhere it's ended up for years, assuming there's a will to remove it en masse that is.

don't give up fat tanuki

If you were going to introduce a non gamer to an indie game for the first time, which one would you pick? I have a new friend and they’ve never really played a video game, so I want to pick something that will feel approachable but also make an impression/highlight the magic and artistry 🤔

Hey, if you wanted to start into game development but didn’t know how, I have this document you can use to get yourself started in Godot: docs.google.com/document/d/1... #godot #gamedev #indiedev

I snatched up Baldur's Gate I & II this #SteamWinterSale Happy to confirm that this RPG passes my signature "can I have green hair?" check ✅

Games industry experts: What are the games of the last three years that have been the most enlightening for your craft? The games that showed you something new or helped give you an insight you’d not had before? I need to build up my backlog, give me your recs!

No.

Video games, amirite?
