i have played an ungodly amount of Highguard AMA

kids are listening to super mario music running around the house yelling “ITSA ME MARIO! MEXICO!” i look at wife with the “what the fuck?” look and she responds with the “i don’t fucking know” look 15 minutes later it hits me that our kids think mario is saying “Mexico!” when he says “let’s a go!”

Seen a couple of clips the past week from some 1995 Kyrgyzstan documentary The Universe of Manas and had to check out the whole thing. Just absolutely fucking unreal levels of drip here youtu.be/jgJZCaOI5KE?...

my in-laws have a label maker and i guess sometimes they let my kids dictate some wild free association on it

“I’ve been thinking about retiring since last fall, which is why I’m leaving on the next business day”

I'm looking for 3D art commissions! After grinding full-time unpaid on my own game for months now, I have to make sure my ship doesn't sink🙂 I specialise in retro graphics, PS1 and PS2, but can do everything else. Characters, cars, env, weapons, you name it.

Ten years later... The Legend is Reborn. I loooove this figurine dungeon diorama box cover for Sorcerian Forever (1997), sequel to the original popular Japanese CRPG that was the fifth game of the Dragon Slayer series.

immersive sim where you play a WWII-era frogman. realistic swimming/diving mechanics but also stealth, combat, etc. lots of coping with the fact that guns and other equipment doesn't necessarily play nice with being submerged.

don’t even talk to me unless this is how you feel about sanitation workers

im here you fuckass bitch

a thing to consider about working in games today is that there used to be choice at work-for-hire studio i was at in the early 2020s, when my project got canceled i was told i’d either be placed on codev for halo infinite or an amazon games studios game. i liked halo but didn’t like the 50/50 odds

Heartwarmed and flattered by a new crop of folks getting into Caves of Qud on Switch. If you're having trouble with how deranged it is at the start, please stick with it: it gets much worse

the covers for Fujitsu's Free Software Collection disks from the 90s were perfect

Reminder to other indie dev teams especially new teams. Most of us are happy to share advice and give feedback on publisher/funding/platform deals and terms. There are some shady predatory biz weasels that will take advantage of you as soon as your game starts to pop off. Please reach out.

the energy with which i am wishing you all a happy new year

I think a lot board gamers underestimate the depth of light games and overestimate the depth of heavy games. More moving parts does not necessarily mean a game has more strategy. It often just means there's more noisiness obscuring the impact of your decisions.

what if i told you, through the power of forensic analysis, we are closer than ever to knowing the exact Far Side cartoon that is making Sting smile in this iconic photo. 🧵 👇

CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

white dudes in Callaway hats doing this are a five alarm fire for the GOP

Ask and you shall receive

one of those mfs in a ff9 random battle where you don’t know if they’re going to hit you for 1 or 9999 damage

Some images from "Pesta", an animated horror feature film project directed by Hanne Berkaak (Norway).

it plays super nice now 🙏 these systemic games take ages to "click", but once they do it's amazing still on temp anims/sound/graphics though

this sucks ass i have been playing it daily since launch and it’s genuinely a fun game, the team was cranking out great updates in response to feedback, and so on

Hey y'all. A South African dev released a blackity black game during BHM and it's currently getting the usual suspects in the reviews. Imma grab this up myself anyway, but can we all be some chums and help push the racists out of the reviews? 🙂

Don't give anything an Emmy until it's as good as this.

stackoverflow, perhaps the website on which it is most crucial to know how many years ago a post was made, has found a way to make relative timestamps even more hideously useless than usual

update: ranked in Highguard even better because randoms use mics and know how to play (for the most part!)

Really enjoyed playing through the demo for Vholume, new game by one of the Straftat/Babbdi devs and featuring music by 1000 Eyes (Signalis composer). In love with the architecture, the hidden little snapshots of lives lived in an impossible space.

what the hell is a “panican” or am i not stupid enough to understand

This MD player combines two of my favourite things: Final Fantasy VIII and stuff I don’t need

does anyone else remember when the 2022 Super Bowl had so many crypto ads people were calling it the Crypto Bowl and then crypto just absolutely fucking tanked? anyway

posting is harmless provided you don't take it seriously- the second you start believing you're doing Important Work, that's when the madness takes hold

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:
