Holy Shit, #valve did a product launch in 2025 and did not mention AI a single fucking time. So refreshing.

#thursdayfivelist #mythology Broad theme enabled me to highlight some cool #femalefronted #womeninmetal #metal bands! Skyclad - Polkageist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucCxy6ZVuEc Blackbriar - Selkie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kZct3JyG1o Vermilia - Kuun tytär […]

Marx my words. #gamedev #screenshot #capitalism #CapitalismIsADeathCult #union

Anyone else noticing a lot of lag and bugs on the latest #linux build of #unity3d 2022 LTS? I just updated because of the vulnerability fix and even the transform gizmo doesn't seem to be working properly, all the menus are super laggy and so on. #gamedev #unity

I've had this idea for a #StarTrek inspired dialogue-based game for a while now, and threw together a small mockup today. I haven't honed in on the details of the gameplay yet, but I think it might be kind of like Arkham Horror on the high level, with […] [Original post on mastodon.gamedev.place]

I'm trying to backup my old Windows drive to a USB drive using #linux but I keep running in to these errors. Is it possible that there's a character limit for path? I know this particular file or folder isn't actually important but there might be some that are.

Watched a video where a guy argued that instead of trying to expand the audience for #startrek, they should make something that pleases the old fans. But... I don't think there has EVER been a Star Trek show that hasn't been divisive between the fans. It'll be a very cold day in hell indeed if […]

I’m preparing a concept research talk for next week and aside from things I can find from How to Market a Game or GameDiscoveryCo blogs, are there any new trends or insights? Any recent data on wishlist conversions or new tools? #gamedev #gameindustry #indiedev #indiegame #indiegames […]

One of the more fun things I've done for the game lately, the layout for this #HelloKitty parody poster (the art and the names were made by the artist) It's one of those "is this a bit too much work for just one puzzle" kind of things, but I hope […] [Original post on mastodon.gamedev.place]

I... did not know you could do this with C# these days. One of those "this changes everything!" moments 😆 #gamedev #programming #csharp

"DS9 gets good when the Dominion War starts." "You should just skip to season 4 in Voyager." "Andor is the best Star Wars since forever." You know what's common with all the above things? Grimdark war stuff. I'm really starting to get fed up with how everything that is *not* serious […]

It's ironic how the two ruling parties in the US are called Democratic and Republican and yet the country is neither. #politics #uspol

Theme for #thursdayfivelist today is #moonmusic - not exactly a hard theme for a #metal listener 😅 Had to throw in some Ozzy too, of course. Ozzy Osbourne - Bark at the Moon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LplPi2CxNHI Defacing God - Black Moon https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=pkUsVEJwXn4 […]

I did these "classic book covers for gen z" a couple of years back and I don't think I've shared them here. See the thread for the rest. #meme #humor #book #bookstodon #literature #Kirjadon #kirjafedi

I kinda disagree with the common criticism that #superman has too many characters and should have concentrated on the core cast more. I think it’s pretty ingenious how Gunn shows us what kind of Superman we’re dealing by how he interacts with very different people, and how they regard him.

#startrek Voyager: ”Tuvix” What could have been a simple comedy romp with a somewhat overused premise, turned out to be quite an emotional heavy hitter. One of the best episodes thus far!

I've been watching #startrek: Voyager for the first time (I know) and just finished season 2 episode 15, "Threshold." Umm. Uhh. Ok.

Are the Americans OK?

For the #thursdayfivelist #undercover I decided to go all female #metal! Dogma - Like a Prayer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7Qg_EU_ehI LOVEBITES - Painkiller https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cN5mMEnCNuA Burning Witches - Shot in the Dark https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDd8ywUqQVE Various […]

Game dev reminder: if you set your Steam game or demo as available for "Steam Deck" via Steam admin, it will *only* download on Steam Deck and be empty on Desktop Linux. Don't tag your content depot for Steam Deck, unless it's a very specific optimization for it of some sort. #GameDev

I'm running a romantic fantasy / court intrigue scenario this year in #ropecon and would like to have a dance ball scene that plays out like a traditional #dnd style miniature combat, with the associated depth. So instead of killing your opponents, you'd gather secrets, influence connections […]

Pitäisi kääntää "Studies, research papers, and informal polls that explore the fediverse." suomeksi, mutta ainakin äkkiseltään sekä studies, että research papers kääntyvät vaan tutkimuksiksi. Onko kellään tietoa miten näitä on aiemmin käännetty?

Is there any reason to pay 200€ more for #iphone 16 as opposed to 16e? The specs seem almost identical.

I finally got around to watching Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and I'm pleasantly surprised! I liked Pike and the crew already in Discovery, but this series is even more like classic Trek than I dared hope! A #scifi series with mostly self-contained episodes in 2020s? Sold! #startrek

Unpopular opinion: Andor is just edgy Rebels. #starwars

Testing a different art style for the #nesjam game after I learned to use gradients in #asesprite (a bit too much maybe 😅 ) #gamedev #gamejam #retrogame #nes #Shadowgate

For today's #thursdayfivelist we're going #highcamp and there's no shortage of campy #metal songs! Dragonforce - Doomsday Party https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3vd4t1atSM TrollfesT - Dance like a Pink Flamingo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSM52OBPN7o Ladybaby - Renge Chance […]

Funny how right the #matrix was about turn of the millennium being the peak of human civilisation before it was destroyed by #ai. #scifi

I'm starting to be quite happy with my #blender3d to #nes art pipeline after a couple of hours of tinkering. The image still needs some work, but overall it's pretty fast. #gamedev #nesjam #pixelart

Inside my head, earlier today: “Wheelbarrow. Mm, wheelbarrow. I like that word. Wheelbarrow. I should write a story that has a wheelbarrow. Like a medieval gritty one.” (A strong feeling of a world ensues) This happens to everyone, right? Right..? #writing #amwriting #amwritingfantasy

I got fed up with the boring old fade to black battle transition in Spa of Destiny and decided to spend a couple of hours with #unity shader graph to cook up something slighltly more interesting. Whadaya think? #gamedev

Also saw the NES jam is coming up and got a sudden inspiration tp try something Shadowgate-y (still not sure what to do with the background, I've gone through like five iterations and nothing looks good 😅 ) #gamedev #pixelart

Just noticed there's an upcoming #gamejam with main prize of $4,000 and three additional $2,000. I expect the competition to be pretty tough, but that's nothing to sniff at in case you have few weeks to spare! https://itch.io/jam/tgcxcoreblazer #gamedev

whats the nuttiest thing you can find that runs doom? i thought the airfryer was pretty nuts. https://canitrundoom.org/

#ThursdayFiveList #FiveToOne by @moonshinebrigade#thursdayfivelist#fivetooneSongs about protest and resistance. Well, no shortage of those!

When you come home in the evening and wonder if there's anything to eat and suddenly remember you baked some buns earlier in the day <3

Thank you past me for writing actual helpful error messages! #gamedev #programming #gameprogramming #unity #unity3d

I'm thinking of running a #romantasy #ttrpg oneshot in a convention next summer, and the deadline for program applications is on Sunday. I'm not super familiar with the genre, but it's an intriguing idea and I suspect a very underserved niche in the convention. The problem is, I'm not sure how […]

I was almost on board with the Fuck Capitalism Jam until I saw this. Like, even fucking Twitter!? https://itch.io/jam/fuck-capitalism-jam-2025 #gamedev #gamejams

Holy sh*t. This is a real xkcd, not funny, disturbing, and also one that must be shared https://xkcd.com/3081/

First the couch. Now the pope. Will no one stop this man!? #uspol #politics #pope

For #musicwomenwednesday here's some more #gothic #metal: legendary 90s band with a brand new song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=106PcD5H_kY

Bluesky didn't reach a federated stage where you could choose a service provider in a free country before they started to censor people based on authoritarian demands.

So #moonspell's singer said in the show last Saturday that their 2026 album will be more #goth. With new bands from old veterans like Cemetary Skyline and High Rise, Tribulations new album and new bands like Dark Driven (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDnXumjPA6s), I feel like 90s style goth […]

I'm working on a Mimic enemy that uses the player's last attack as its attack - simple, right? Not so much. There's some pretty straightforward stuff like saving the previous attack - except, where should that be? In the BattleCharacter class? Maybe in the EnemyAI since it's the class that […]

#unity and #rider have been super slow for a couple of days and causing the whole #linux #gnome to stall from time to time. I've rebooted both several times, doesn't seem to have much effect. Any pointers where I could look to fix this? They used to work a lot better before (at least as long as […]

Yep, Sumerian Tombs still got it. Get your dose of Mesopotamian themed #blackmetal right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_1yVZ2f8Fs #metal

Not surprising that Vetinari made sure there are no tariffs for #discworld #TerryPrachett

I need to come up with an earth element ability that deflects the enemy attack. Any ideas? #gamedev #rpg #jrpg
