It's hard to explain why, but enemies leading their shots in a game is unsportsmanlike.

If you look at a video of a tiny kitten and don't say 'babyyyyy', are you even human

How is it 2026 and we *still* have permanently missable secrets in games

Having super hearing is awful. Every single appliance in my house is on the brink of collapse, and even though I'm wearing sound-cancelling headphones I can still hear every single time one of them makes a new and worrying sound

I envy people whose main media interests are movies, or music, or books. You can tear through a few movies every weekend easy. Music? You can go through a whole bands discography in a few hours But with videogames it's "I've been playing this game for two months, I think I'm at the midway point"

I love when you can tell a level designer was at the end of their rope at one point

Being able to predict my own taste. Almost all of my favorite pieces of media are things that I originally vehemently disliked.

The closest we get to hauntings these days are software bugs and little hairs getting caught under your optical mouse

Good thing i screencapped it

High tech tangling

Reposting for the afternoon crowd!

Working without music: The past 5 minutes may have well been a year Working with music: HOW THE FUCK IS IT 10PM

A recent gameplay addition to a #UE5 project required something to pick up, inspect and stack. So I decided to throw together a quick crate and clay 'bottle' to fit the need while also stretching the artistic muscles in the process. #b3d #substancepainter #gamedev #gameart #indiedev

When I first designed the lead character for my game, she was older than me. Now she's younger than me 🙃

Worth re-posting the below thread 'cos I've seen a few folk wonder recently if it's even worth starting to transition if you end up a woman with size 11 feet, or a guy with size 6. or might end up not all that curvy 30-28-30. Or you might be a six ft plus woman or five-two guy...

Sometimes I think the only reason I spend so much time on the computer is because it's the only place I can do interesting stuff without having to spend money.

Art, writing, programming, and generally any act of building or creating, are not roadblocks on the path to success. Being creative, solving problems, going through the trials of creation, those are the things that will change your life. Not the end result.

Even if AI *did* work properly, this is one of my major issues against it. You do *not* want to outsource your thinking to large corporations, they do absolutely not have your best interests at heart. We need diversity of thought, and deferring it to money-first machines will end badly.

I've never really had an interest in the Survivor-type games, but this is my jam

I became ✨inspired✨ to make a new version of the status bar face for Super Wolfenstein 3D!

you don't and will never need ai to make a game #quake #indiedev #gamedev #lowpoly #pixelart

Can't believe my legally distinct fish man warning you about a potential trap got published. Thank you for eternalising him (and great article @legenette.bsky.social !)

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

23. Retrospace Do you like System Shock and Prey 2017? Do you like oldschool sci-fi shows like Blake's 7? You might wanna wishlist Retrospace! It's an immersive sim with a distinctly 70s sci-fi vibe, and it looks awesome.

My curse is to feel tired absolutely anywhere other than a place I'm supposed to sleep

This is so, so well-articulated.

i'm coming over you better not be a skeleton waiter who throws a food tray, misses, then dives to the ground and explodes instantly

Lots of tech dudes think the "idea" is the important part of creating, not the creative journey you take through work to give that idea actual meaning. Ideas are the easiest, cheapest and least fulfilling part of it. Giving ideas life through work, and sharing that work with others, is the stuff.

If you sneezed every time someone thought about you, being a celebrity would be a living hell

Some people have mood cycles, I have ‘CRT shaders or crisp pixels’ cycles

Heard da kids was gettin hungry again.

it all works so well when it spins in game!!! bulma's mom and that one lady in the tournament get the same treatment with their hair

Being a huge fucking idiot and liking absurdist humor is a great combo, because when you never understand what's going on, everything's hilarious

Swear to god, there's a new genre of video on Youtube where the theme is 'Why AI vibe coding is bad', that takes a hard pivot into 'Here's how to use AI responsibly' at the end that barely addresses the issues they even brought up in the video. I swear this shit is trying to astroturf programmers.

Unless there is an exceptionally good reason for not doing it, art placeholders should always look like placeholders. The goofier, the better. 😁 #Blasphemous

Hello! AM2R Project 2.0 needs your help to make it across the finish line. If you're a pixel artist that can match the existing style and quality and want to help out, we would love to talk.

Why do I always feel duty-bound to rebel against rules I made for myself

The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting.

Whew. Folks continue to do some gorgeous stuff with the UZDoom (formerly GZDoom) engine. www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/... There's some baked lighting going on here (soon to be a stock feature in UZDoom) which pushes it beyond what you'd expect normally.

I love test rooms and the stupid little untold stories they hold within them
