why does he type like that

not being able to download/share miis in the new tomodachi life is the most ass-backwards decision i've ever seen. like i'm not even sure if i want to get the game anymore, that's so central to its appeal.

THE SPIRIT LIFT is finally out! If you need a chill horror roguelike deckbuilder in your life, we got you! store.steampowered.com/app/1727590/... #indiegame #gamedev #horror

don't take star ratings that seriously numbers aren't even real

Every day I'm so thankful I transitioned to body type 2

it feels like every "inspired by paper mario" indie game trying for that aesthetic kind of misses the mark art direction-wise. i'm not enough of a visual artist to feel confident in describing *why* but they all give me a sense of cheapness or amateurishness that paper mario never had to my eye...

is the implication here that sonic is an evil preacher in this situation

here comes the ✨boy✨ 💖hello boy💖

does anyone know how to make youtube stop automatically showing a miniplayer with the last video i was watching on the home screen i hate it so much

i know android handhelds are getting better and better lately but the big thing i'm hoping for is the ARM compatibility layer work Valve is putting together to unlock some cool stuff. i would loooooove widely compatible access to my steam library on a PSVita-sized device.

a lot of people are replying Tetris to this which is very fair but personally the game didn't truly hit its "best in the genre" point until they landed on 7-bag with a hold piece, which i believe happened in 2001 so pretty good but not quite "perfected the genre in the 80s" as one might infer

the secret to creativity is to consume the few biggest impacts on the social consciousness but consume the rest of your media in a very different temporal ordering than everyone else

bitches love chromatic descent (it's me i'm bitches)

they should make it illegal to have dreams about bad things happening to my cat :(

there is a secret sauce that makes male video game characters irresistible to women (regardless of sexuality) and it is called “making them a little pathetic”

CRASHOUT FOR THE AGES

it's wild to me that i can sometimes go a week without practicing a piano piece and then come back and play it the best i ever have. what else does my brain have cooking in there while i'm not looking?

pentatonic scale feels like cheating

okay i beat Hollow Knight. Hornet is so cool they should make a game just about her. free idea from me you're welcome.

the idea that you can use genAI that’s exclusively trained on your studios content is very silly because 1) yes that’s fine 2) won’t work though 3) a much faster and easier way would be to hand author a bunch of pieces and design a system to mix and match them 4) whoops that’s just proc gen

Going to start calling open world games "worldslop"

accidentally looked at a cognitohazard. currently being driven mad by cursed knowledge.

hey i'm playing this "Hollow Knight" game and it turns out it's pretty good? y'all hear about this?

stop. stop. stop. please. make new things. i am begging you. i'm crying and screaming and sobbing. there's tears and snot running down my face. stop. make new things. please.

i've been consuming a lot of mystery/whodunnit media lately. i really love this stuff tbh. makes me wanna write my own.

Deltarune not getting best soundtrack is wild to me. Honestly Deltarune is my personal GOTY in general. but also yay Dispatch :)

in 2026 i wanna escape goblin mode and start improving my makeup/fashion skills again

2025 was pretty cool for me

one part of me really wants this. another part thinks Ghost Trick was already a perfect game that doesn't need a sequel and our real goal should be to make Capcom let Shu Takumi do whatever crazy new thing he wants.

finished unbeatable. it's a thoroughly frustrating game to talk about because they totally got my ass especially in the back half but there's just... so much that i found frustrating or distracting or not cohesive. i think it's kind of great? but it's definitely in *spite* of a lot of negatives.

ugh i was gonna wait for all the episodes of of the Devil to come out before playing but i keep hearing good things about it... is it worth playing now and needing to wait for more later?

gently resting my hand on my sleepy kitty and feeling her breathing is one of my favorite things in the whole world

question i've been mulling over: what genre is deltarune? i guess the simplest answer would be jrpg - it certainly shares the general shape of those games - but it's missing too many elements core to the genre for me to feel totally comfortable with that label.

i've been making more music in FL Studio again lately and really having a great time :D it's all very amateurish and i'm unlikely to release it besides sending it to friends and saying "hey look what i did" but that's how you get better right? make some art it's good for your soul :)

i successfully timed finishing Hogfather on Christmas and it certainly felt like the ideal way to experience that book

screaming and kicking my little feet until i get my way

[speedrunner steve brule] so coming up, we got one of those, uh - gulches. a frame porfect gulches, as a matter of nand in fact. what you gotta do is take your oca... ocaro... flute. and then, what you do with the flute, is you make music. that the gulches like. you know what i'm saying.

Pluribus rules because it’s forcing people who wanna see a bunch of sci fi lore dumps to instead watch amazing actors have incredibly interesting conversations about what it means to be a person

Bits & Bops (by @tempolab.games) is definitely the best game i've seen at capturing what makes the Rhythm Heaven games great. i definitely wish it were longer but it's great to get what feels basically like a mini release in the series. I always want more Rhythm Heaven.

i'm like 4 days into taking time off for the holidays and i've already *completely* destroyed my sleep schedule

even if genai was useful for making good games (it's not), it turns out that having it in your game is so toxic to player perception that it still wouldn't be worth it so knock it the fuck off

"blowjob brothers" functions as an available english translation that communicates all the information necessary to understand what a "manzai duo" is

thinking about Kentucky Route Zero and how it feels more relevant than ever. i should play it again.

you are not owed the affection of your children, but they are owed yours. if this seems unfair to you you are not fit to have kids. they don't get the choice that you do

bell curve meme where the middle is me going “I need to write 100-500 words justifying why this game is better than any other recent entrants in its genre” and both of the outlier sides are “I liked it”

i hear a sentiment from other game devs sometimes that after working on games they don't feel able to play games on their own for fun as much anymore and i just... can't relate to that. i love playing games so much. the games are why i'm here and i love them and that hasn't diminished at all.

I have played and beat Unbeatable and it is a weird lumpy thing that basically does not cohere for me, but the good parts are SO good that I kinda want everyone to give it a try anyway
