we need shazam for smells

This is an excellent piece, and very frustrating given PPB's current attempt to remove several diverters here in NW. I'd love to see @councilorgreen.bsky.social make a push not just to maintain the diverters under threat, but install new ones all along our greenways bikeportland.org/2025/09/05/g...

It's been a while. Glad to be announcing a new game, and happy that it is something experimental and weird: a tiny, tense, turn-based strategy game about merging units into spectacular combinations, and then watching them evaporate thousands of bugs. store.steampowered.com/app/2396130/...

one very real, concrete way to help feed Gaza right now is through donating to World Central Kitchen

perhaps the most deserved award ever given

new york city baby!!! i'm walkin here!!!!!

good news for the economy! the thesaurus website is now seeking rent

I genuinely believe that if the market pressure to make "safe" choices about which games to make did not exist, we would be seeing dozens of fundamentally new game genres every year. we already do see this to some extent on less commercial platforms like itch, though of course at a smaller scale

Can't think of a single time the MGM lion advanced the plot of the movie in any way. Just needless jump scare

well well well, if it isn't the thing everyone said would happen

we do not need a leftist joe rogan. what we need is a podcast that encourages rudderless young men to embark upon a doomed lifelong search for the holy grail

oi guvnah are you mad at me

if you'd like to see a wide re-release of Hundreds of Beavers in theaters this year, one night only, in thousands of cities — repost this. we've got some doubters.

rocket league is cool but i think it would be safer and more efficient for all parties if we had a light rail network to shuttle the ball back and forth between the goals

i think Nathan Fielder's "Oh, ok" beats Hemingway's record for saddest, shortest story

i don't really have any patience for the "buildings are clothes" argument. people insist that since cars are clothes, buildings must be as well. the important difference is that a car provides you with a belt to wear. that's an outfit. to insist a house is an outfit is absurd to the point of farce

this is most game middleware for unity

stealth metroidvania fps, blood dimension

phenomenal choice

whattt!! amazing, congrats to the team

someone should make a horror game based on the mascot of the candy stand in the yerba buena food court

Today, we are announcing the formation of United Videogame Workers-CWA, an industry-wide union formed by @codecwa.bsky.social and @cwaunion.bsky.social 💪🎮 We're launching at #GDC2025 this morning to build a video game industry that works for us. We're done playing.

it's been well over a year since we shut down DANG!, so it's probably fine to post these billboards I made for the game we were working on

I think the desire for infinite AI generated games that respond to any action comes from a naive misunderstanding of why games are engaging in the first place. It is fun to learn & predict a complex system. in fact that's Raph Koster's definition of (a certain kind of) fun.

whoever invented the jukebox is gonna be rich

if you give the roulette dealer a cheese grater they'll powderize all your bulky $10,000 chips into one cent microplastic fragments that are much easier to ingest

the bank should have a guy who goes door to door and puts all your random loose change back in your checking account

I think I could do everything right on my second day in the time loop

ohhhh yeahhhhhh

save me LOD5 judi dench

imagine how many lives could be saved if each of us donated just a single pop filter to the nearest podcaster

they ought to call it "kineticut" on account of the 75 mile long magnetic orbital railgun they have buried under New Haven

Boy I really hope something good happens soon! Lol

the shop really is the best part of balatro

caves of qud. so. uhhh..... uhhhhh

i think i first saw Consume Me at Fantastic Arcade in 2018 -- i had no idea it was still in development, huge congrats to jenny & co!!

enough 100 point rating scales. michelin is correct. zero = not noteworthy one = incredible two = world class three = once-in-a-generation perfect four is imaginary

completely baffling to me that someone could consider "getting really good at something" boring or unenjoyable. that's like top five most interesting and rewarding human activites

agdq’s crazy taxi run has a mosh pit

if you see something suspicious, say something suspicious
