bastards will lose

Try my hour-ish-long game.

Thinking about this post for some reason.

One of the very best from Clickhole

I've finished my default-scripts, default-RTP-assets lite RPG "Witchwake". You can enjoy it here: rasalhage.itch.io/witchwake Play four parties in four small dungeon crawls. Each party's agenda relates to the Dread Witch. Along the way, learn more about "Isabelle," a supposed humble herbalist...

they have artemis in the artemis II control room omfg 😭

cancel your adobe subs asap and use non adobe products if you haven't already

Oh no. Please... not an existential threat. Please don't price out the vast majority of players from games that rely on high-fidelity graphics. ( throws hand dramatically over forehead) Whatever shall we do. What would players play if they couldn't have Ultra Graphics Games. What would become of us.

It really cannot be overstated that COVID happened, suddenly a bunch of absentee tech dads were forced to stay home where they saw their kids playing Animal Crossing while talking on Discord, then collectively decided to light a trillion dollars on fire to make Snow Crash IRL.

lenin says hello and also do i have a personal pan pizza i wasn't planning on eating

Meet MAKE YOUR OWN FUN man!

Artemis and the Artemis II mission! I can’t stop thinking about the Artemis plushie watching over the launch of the Orion hahaha #art #sailormoon #artemisII

A coworker yesterday mentioned that she only found out we were currently in a war because she googled “why are gas prices getting so high”

One day, "It" will happen, by which I mean sudden and unexpected news that you want to celebrate. In such cases, you will want the right outfit. 🧵

i’m enamored with this thing. there’s something very beautiful and also very perverse an N64 controller that’s Normal

if you're talking about gambling in games and you're not accounting for the history of like, f2p Facebook games, Dungeon and Fighter's kompu gacha, or the development of hyper-precise buy pressure on mobile in the '10s as slot designers migrated industries, your analysis is going to be shallow

"Are indie games developing a gambling problem? We'll discuss this in our article by focusing in solely on recent examples that have slot facades while ignoring the entire history of mobile games made by actual gambling industry designers"

Discord's April Fools' joke was that they added an integrated browser game into the app and I genuinely didn't realise it was meant to be a joke because I'm so used to them jamming in bullshit features I immediately ignore

People really don't imagine how many of their favorite games are commercial failures. Making a good game may help with sales, but it's not the main factor. And both players and devs need to realize that.

i might be in the minority but i think it could be really important for movies like these to fail. feels like the sonic movie really innovated the "shut up critics! this ones for the fans" style of reference-based moviemaking and i really fear what the future looks like if it takes

very glad that this piece dives head-onto the fundamental disquiet about this discourse; the machine zone and flow state are impossible to extricate/regulate from Regular Video Game Design, and the attention/retention-seeking aims of marketing incentivize an aesthetic that carcinizes into casinos

this week's rpg sketch "Ghost Killer 2" - explores the classic rpg concept of "weapon" - you can play it in your browser or on your phone - made in 1 day - it is possible to beat tunditur-unda.itch.io/rpg13

ahhhh looks like the old Pretend To Be A Famous 193-Year-Old Tortoise's Veterinarian And Say He Died And Then Solicit Crypto Donations Through Social Media scam i've seen it a million times

happy to announce my new game, DREAM ROTATION. please help sephy, mewmew, and shad take down the government featuers; -materia system -action turn-based battles -50 sidequests -political upheaval -no RTP!!!!!

Another one. Cuts (swords, knives, etc) feel MUCH more like cuts if the hitstop occurs after the weapon has passed through the opponent, with some kind of slash VFX / smear on top. Hitstop while the weapon is overlapping with the opponent can feel more like a blunt strike. bsky.app/profile/cata...

modern indie games are bred to have localizations out the gate now while the Granddaddy of Indie Games (mother 3) never got even one after 20 years, I guess it's good to appreciate these modern miracles for what they are

The people who make this site are a great argument for not having imposter syndrome like maybe I need to stop saying "I'm not a real programmer" when I see them do shit even I wouldn't ship

Thank you for your patience. Labyrinth.os will released to the world on April 10.

I’m sick of all the discourse about whether or not kink is appropriate at No Kings

So I clicked the source link and...

Countries banning all teenagers from social media because "their brains aren't developed enough to handle it", meanwhile nobody's talking about the percentage of retirement-aged adults who have irreversibly cooked their fucking brains on Facebook since 2020.

I take back everything I said

it's actually disturbed me watching in real time as people my own age catch The Disease. just a few years ago we were all making fun of Gen X'ers for getting scammed by star wars over and over, and now the finest minds of my generation are begging to pay 80 dollars for like, a kingdom hearts remake.

I wish people would realize that you just can't avoid politics, you can't remove yourself from the context in which you exist, and that saying you're doing so makes you look silly.

thank you for saying thank you! tetia from witch hat atelier

They don't want you to know this, BUT you don't have to travel back in time to experience Dissidia Duodecim or Final Fantasy Explorers or Final Fantasy 6 or Mega Man Zero 3 or Devil May Cry 4 or Fire Emblem Warriors or God Eater 3 or Sword of Mana or Link between Worlds or Fire Emblem Awakening or F

nostalgia is remembering when you didn’t have to pay bills and attributing that feeling to mario
