kinda spitballing here, but I do feel like being the sort of guy who loves being a marine and killing people and who gets nazi tats because he thinks they're badass probably is comorbid with being the sort of guy who does nasty things to women, and that denying this association don't make sense

a small email is called a weemail

Right now the world is full of people who want to code and write and paint and film stuff and people who want to play and read and look at and watch stuff and nobody is allowed to do any of that because some unrelated third guy isn't making enough money off the deal

ouh hd edition.

sometimes something is really obvious but you need to type it out anyway for mental health reasons: the venn diagram of people who believe in dignity and democracy for all & people who support the rich, cops & israel is two entirely distinct circles

Cosmic horror is great because it just kinda invents itself. Spend a bit too long thinking about the sun and you realize it’s a radioactive death ball larger than your mind has capacity to comprehend, so inherently dangerous that looking directly at it will harm you, and it’s just sitting there.

Given all of the recent genAI discussion, I wish to repost this.

happy pride month to him

Happy Pride month you buncha queers

"Everyone's using AI" Okay, who are you trying to convince? Because every time I see this take, and it's a lot, it screams insecurity and shame, it reeks of desperation. You sound ashamed of offloading your thinking to slop merchants and desperately wish it was the case that everyone else is too.

One MUST resist the urge to lolcow. I'd call it one of the most important urges to resist on the contemporary internet, actually

"why do people harass indie creators more than big studios" why does the worst person you know kick small puppies instead of kicking their jacked as shit neighbor down the street, the world may never know

some recent quake sketches

I still often think about this.

I dunno, I just think he's neat

fuck sam altman forever for taking away the last places where we could engage in good faith: the creative arts, which should be a testament to human ingenuity. i am so mad that everything i read or listen to or admire is now tainted with doubt. do you understand? he is a thief of joy and i HATE HIM

Spending 3 weeks to make just the graybox of a tutorial area knowing the next area needs to be at least 4x the size is certainly a feeling. And there are 5 more areas to do after that. Damn, makin' games is hard, why didn't anyone tell me

I make video game because I want to make story that is also toy

Sometimes you gotta bust out the classics when testing your multiplayer

okay so AI is absolutely cratering imminently and I need all of you to PROMISE me you won't take the high road, and will laugh and rub it in their faces as much as possible. I need you to laugh and go 'WE TOLD YOU SO, BITCH" at every opportunity, PLEASE be extremely mean and ruthless

Gotta love when you’re replaying a game and you realize you’ve arrived at That Room

this really is what it’s like

It’s so fucked up that for things to get done you actually have to do them

Every once in a while I remember The Midnight exists and it's just over for my music selection for the next few days

Happy Mario day!

Wait, having a good test map for your game actually shreds

So today OpenAI discontinued ChatGPT 4o, the model known for being weirdly affirming and telling people that they’re religious figures and to kill and what not. This has greatly upset the community who has used 4o’s affirming nature to do AI romances, who are now mourning the death of their partners

don’t talk to me or my son ever again

Seeing a bunch of art styles you love but wouldn't want to draw while still struggling to find your own is such a weird feeling

Abolish ICE. There’s no reforming it. There’s no compromise. There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

Thinks about the ATLA episode where they go blow up the fire nation factory that’s polluting the river, choking out the wildlife, and starving and poisoning the people living on the water. And then they stick around to quell the military retaliation to said destruction of the factory too

Felt inspired

I've had this image in my head for several months now and have to get it out

21 years ago Joe had a simple question

Annnd done. 4 days, 77 maps with an absolute banger starting map and ending with the Mazu marathon. @makkon.bsky.social et al did a fantastic job with Brutalist Jam 3. Easy to see this project has a very bright future ahead of it

had to wait until the servers weren't so overloaded, but I'm proud to announce that Quake Brutalist Jam 3 is out now! there's a standalone version that works like a game for those who don't own quake too! www.slipseer.com/index.php?re... this was a tremendous group effort, I couldn't be happier!

The thing that gets me about this is that even if we wanted to make a positive AI ad, they never showcase AI being used to enhance someone’s day or improve their workflow. There’s no “it allows me to more easily do what I love.” It’s always presented as a failsafe for the dispassionate and incurious

Rest well in Valhalla, Burger Becky. Your contributions to the video games industry, and of course - DOOM - will live on with us here on earth forever
