Microsoft losing the plot to the extent that games running on Linux through a compatibility layer are now not only faster but *assumed to be faster* than games running natively on Windows should be an even bigger story than it already is

Has been the case for a while, but I genuinely don't know how to process living on a planet where such a blatant disregard for human life is this normal for so many people "How will a civilization being destroyed affect investors?" We are all human beings. What the fuck are we doing

yeah man i'll circle back to you on that agenda item from yesterday's all hands in just a sec. our pedophile king just threatened to destroy a whole civilization

Honestly hilarious how smug they are about vibe coding while this place is barely functional

trans day of i just want to exist bro leave me alone

Decompressing from developing all week by developing all weekend

“games are supposed to be fun” wrong

in 2016 a group of strangers in Kazakhstan saved a dog from drowning by forming a human chain to reach him. they just unveiled a statue commemorating the event and I'm genuinely about to start sobbing

Thanks to @ashgame.dev, just got texture-based lighting animation working. NERDY!

normalize being less than 100 polygons

this is what game dev feels like

Me: I would like to see the pixel that the game developers made please my graphics card: that's too hard. what about some stuff we made up instead

microdosing social media while waiting for unity to exit playmode so I can wait for it to reimport assets so I can wait for it to recompile so I can wait for it to reload domains so I can wait for it to import assets again so I can wait for it to enter playmode

lucid blocks AND funi raccoon game on the same day?? and during #ratjam?? this is the revitalization of video games we've been waiting for

Please donate if you can, Epic Games really needs it!!

I am having a great time #ratjam

#ratjam is going well

this is what the internet was made for

artists are so cool. like how do you do that

Anyone can master a skill if they work at it for long enough, no matter how unintuitive it might seem to them at first. With enough effort, you WILL eventually get good at it. This applies in all scenarios except with me and level design,

The quality of naming conventions in gamedev should not be judged by clarity, but by the level of whimsy

I hate when you put so much effort into a creative project you think is ACTUALLY unique and has potential, just to find out someone else beat you to it

I've liked so many low-poly rats, my For You feed has started giving me unrelated rat posts. I'm okay with this

Can't overstate how happy I am that this took off, it's one of my favorite things on social media in a long time. So many people inspired to make a lil guy because it's fun and cute and who cares if it's good!! just wanna make a rat! I love them all

I'm only seeing 6 low-poly rats, bsky, these are rookie numbers, you gotta pump those low-poly rat numbers up

It's true

vindictive, vicious cruelty designed to humiliate and criminalize every trans person in kansas horrifying fascist shit reminiscent of the runup to the literal holocaust

indies won't save the game industry. but I will

Please make more games where exploration of the world isn't used primarily a vehicle to fight stuff. We're always fighting stuff in all these intriguing worlds in which I would love to explore and interact with in interesting ways. Thank you for your time

Game design these days doesn't treat exploration as an experience, but as a mechanic from which other mechanics can be served. ... and imo that fucking sucks ass

if the game makes you think about it after that means it did its job. no matter what the thoughts are

Finally installed Linux. So far it seems great for people who think using the computer is too easy

Damn, I'm actually excited about the Valve announcement. The last time I even *cared* about gaming hardware was the Steam Deck, lol. Valve has been COOKING, and it's so refreshing compared to... whatever everyone else is doing

Yes Windows, please change my default browser back to Edge for no reason. I am definitely not looking for the door already

Everything about making video games is harder than you think.

Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest. The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says. "I could smell the onions and mustard."

I understand why they had to stop him but I don’t agree with imprisoning him in the phantom zone

tired of looking at bad game engine. can't wait to finish work and look at good game engine

most overrated drink? coffee but the most underrated drink? also coffee

been goofing around in #godot

The PS2 truly is the best console ever because it is constantly becoming more powerful. Each time we say something "looks like a PS2 game" we're talking about a game of a higher fidelity than the last. What the PS2 is capable of in 2025 is so far beyond what it was capable of in 2003. That's amazing

it happened again

opening your new game announcement with this is so fucking funny and real

Pro tip: if you write a bit of ugly code thinking "it's fine, I'll never have to look at this again", you will absolutely have to look at it again

Game development is about making Lil Guys and then making where you would find them, I think.

accidentally made a dancing cactus today, I love my job

Started using Kagi to have an actually functional search engine, but now the goalposts have just moved to "try to find links that aren't dead"
