I'm going through a rough time and I think posting inconsequential hot takes might help so I'm going to say "I think if you run past enemies to get to the bosses in souls games God should shoot you with lightning bolts"

I think every employee at Beethoven and Dinosaur should be given a state funded 8 week holiday with complimentary cocktails and no internet access

Guy 1: "I'm playing SAROS at the moment, its really good" Guy 2 "Yeah me too. This game owns" Guy who played Returnal: "Have you played Returnal"

Housemarque implements haptics on the Dualsense like Cooper from Interstellar tweaking individual strands of gravity, afraid a single thing amiss will doom the entire human race, ensuring every millimetre of force is perfect tactile feedback... absolute bliss to hold

All video games need to include, in non-consequential ways ideally, at least one semi-obscure word that the reader will likely not encounter for years at a time. Ideally, parents should be surprised their child knows this term. Absolutely critical inclusion.

I love Tomodachi Life but I don't like having to get up and take my console out of the dock everytime I want to draw. Is this a safe space for us all to discuss how the Wii U was right?

"Revenue split based on playtime" nightmare nightmare nightmare nightmare nightmare nightmare

I have on several occasions provided my mates with 5-30 minutes of voice work for a shoutout and a favour. Because I liked them, their projects. If you just need a few lines I guarantee you can get some kinda 'meh' voice work from friends - and it'll be way more fun than asking a computer for it!!

I currently have a dry heat pack relieving my back pain and a wet cold compress relieving my pain from *fucking shingles* and my boyfriend is congratulating me on how well I'm treating my four humors

Pokopia is great but it should he illegal to ship a video game using M/D date format without a way to change it. Total and utter sin.

Shoutout to my partner's DND 5E Player's Handbook, which is currently situated on the couch to act as my joycon mouse-pad for an ungodly amount of Pokopia

Why are people acting like this year's Switch 2 line up looks weak as if Game of The Decade Tomodachi Life isn't just around the corner

Everytime they show off more stuff for SAROS my boyfriend has to endure 5 minutes of me yelling things like "From now on no one else is allowed to voice opinions" and other such dramatics

Shared with us from Sydney happening now. He had his hands up.

hey guys, just to confirm this is my fundraiser. i didn't want to ask for help, but i do need it. my cancer is back. i am going through a lobectomy next week, the same surgery Walter White undergoes. i can't express how grateful i am. thank you so much everyone. www.gofundme.com/f/support-ge...

A whole lot of not thinking things through with this policy. Pretty much assumes everyone is a middle-upper class white, straight teenager with no issues living in a city www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Everyone under age 16 in Australia just got this notification from YouTube. Everyone under 16 will no longer be able to sign-in, block channels, disable ads, or browse anything other than the default algorithm moving forward. Brain dead decision-makers.

We have got to delete all achievements from all game platforms ASAP

It happened again!

Glad there are no highly incriminating AGDA photos of me doing the nutbush & macarena this year. However, no highly exploitable photos for my personal brand of me juggling at GCAP this year either.

i am developing a technology that figures out if a player is looking things up or being told things by other players & immediately puts the player into something I like to call "the hell dimension". I am seeking an investment of twenty billion dollars

My local pizza website is encouraging me to login to get "personalised AI reccomendatons" based on "trending items, time of ordering, and the qeather" guys what the fuck are we even doing

Was super tempted to hit up Pax and Megadev on the Sunday but instead I got tonsillitis 👍👍👍

I always feel super self concious trying to chat to game audio folks when my credentials are "one fallen-through expression of interest and 15 random game jams", so it was very helpful that every single person I met was extremely lovely and genuinely interested in my work regardless 🥹

Do not ever convince yourself you can manage going back to work on the Thursday after High Score > GCAP > AGDAs oh my god this was a mistake

Ok against all odds: we're actually so back.

Ah see here's me in my real element - coming last in the 3 club combat play-offs at MJC. (3 club combat is probably exactly what you are imagining)

Ok I've had a long hard chat with the team and we think our best move is actually for MIGW 2026 to be the first one where I don't feel like an imposter. We're just going to not count this one 👍

Looking forward to seeing you all next week!

My juggling convention weekend is over, now in rest & recover mode for my 5 days of MIGW... Managed to perform a killer open stage diabolo act (still got it 😎) & cleaned up my 7 ball pattern a ton. Got some much longer runs but this was the cleanest I got on camera.

this the kinda shit i be doing for 30 hours the weekend before high score & gcap and then wonder why I'm so tired

They're going to psychologically profile me with this for the rest of time but man Bilewater is so good. That's my favourite area and section of Silksong thus far. Inject that directly into my veins.

I got the joy of explaining to a producer on a new project that I'm off for a few days next week for a juggling convention ahaha

Can someone let me know why progress on my little personal project has been so tough lately? Here's all the details: 1. I started it the week before Silksong launched 2. 3.

If the new Hyrule Warrios game does an alternate-timeline split and becomes 'non-canon', 99% of players will begin weeping themselves to sleep while I begin a celebration process all contrarians dream of. The timeline split to allow an alternate outcome was the best decision AoC made. Do it again!!!

I think itch having subpar initial communication disappointing, but does not outweigh the fact that they, a relatively tiny pc game store front, are being blackmailed by some of the biggest corporations on the planet who control - just checking, yes - all of commerce

I played this last year, and I still think about it all the time. Its characters, story, and themes will stick with you long after completion. Please pick it up.

Completely surprised to say that playing Nightrein with randoms has been great 9/10 times. Something about the frantic no-communication 'just ping and move' pace works super well. And no, the game absolutely does not need voice chat. If they add voice chat, I will never play online again.

Blue Prince and Clair Obscur releasing within two weeks is very frustrating. Also frustrating is I'm not sure if I have 10 hours left of Blue Prince, or another 80.

Local coffee place has been out of loyalty cards, so I made my own frog detective one and they accepted it

To all my fellow Haters out there: the Switch 2 won't have achievements. We must all pre-order this console and continue to support the ongoing war efforts against achievements.

Roughly every 6 months, someone leaves a comment on itch for my uni game project from 7 years ago asking me to finish it, and every time I get closer to making the terrible decision of doing so

Did some emergency work yesterday evening for our launch, and it turns out my controller, wired to my pc, briefly woke up my ps5 and allowed me to accidentally make $160 of purchases on it ahahahaha fuck me aaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAA

I understand that "action roguelike where average winning run duration exceeds 90 minutes" is not exactly mass-appeal friendly, but I hope the SAROS "Come Back Stronger" does not indicate a move to meta-progression level ups that have been all the rage recently. Would be an over-correction, IMO.

Mostly unsuccessful 7 ball practice at juggling club last night

I went to my juggling club for the first time in ages this week and when I arrived the guy who runs it turned to look at me and said "oh Hamish! I was just talking shit about you"

We watched the penultimate episode last night
