really not looking forward to setting up my life again on a discord replacement when this inevitably kills the app

Birthday presents to myself

Wish I could internalize this

Attachment issues

Every single time I have to patch something on Steam I get hopelessly, HOPELESSLY confused about the process, and I can't tell whether it's just my autism or whether the process really is way more convoluted and poorly-explained than it needs to be. Why can't I just upload the zip file?!

Got a big tranche of feedback on Prism Warriors' demo with a bunch of bugs to fix, so I'm gonna work my way through those as a warmup to (hopefully) getting back into the swing of game dev this year.

Hi, I'm a heart defect at birth

Just under two hours left of 2025. My goal was to release two games: Prism Warriors, and an expanded version of Color Critters. I didn't manage the first one and made next-to-no progress on the second one. So a bit of a failure in that regard. (1/5)

Today is the last day that you can repost this image

Prism Indigo and Prism Warriors go in the top-right corner btw ...I need to find a way to make Warriors more sapphic

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

the only video game you need is tetris dx on the game boy. if you are tired of playing tetris dx on the game boy you are tired of playing video games.

The giveaways continue to be FANTASTIC. Today: Cassette Beasts. Grab it now - you've got 24 hours. One of the best indie creature collectors. Like Pokemon with a dash of Shin Megami Tensei. Great pun-heavy creatures, a WILD elemental system and fusion super-modes which add vocals to the soundtrack.

“Game design” as in “how can we psychologically manipulate the player into Maximum Retention EnterGagement over the course of a 3 month battle pass season” is satan But “game design” as in “how many dudes can we put on the NG2 staircase without red ringing the player’s 360” is essential

this is how you find the games to create bundles with

dreamed i won a salad making competition by googling "hitler's favorite salads" finding a listicle of hitler's 20 favorite salads and letting the judges know my opponent had made hitler's 17th favorite salad

lrp I said it before and I'll say it again: too many creatives place too much emphasis on making sure their idea is "unique" and can't be seen as a rip-off If it's good enough, and isn't an exact copy, nobody will care

This also applies to cartoons and comics and basically everything. It doesn’t matter if you have a concept of something already out there. If you love it, do it. Your work will have your unique mark on it by virtue of being made by YOU. (Also two cakes.)

Prism Indigo DX is 30% off of Steam and itch.io for the Winter Sale! Let's gooooo store.steampowered.com/app/2927820/...

imagining a world where movie watchers had the same weird obsession as gamers about filling the screen with border art

I am still coming to terms with the fact that when I die I will almost certainly leave behind dozens of unfinished ideas, like a graveyard of what could have been, and people want to tell me there are "no good ideas left" foh

Found a tweet. Vtuber Den A Rue sent this stick figure drawing of himself reading a book and compared it to the final artwork SuNa delivered. If you can move a pen, you can communicate.

Prism Warriors' placeholder dialogue literally just said "Example text" You do not need AI to write placeholder dialogue and anyone who tells you otherwise is actively drowning in the techbro Kool-Aid

Going into 2026, a reminder for everyone who's fallen off the creative wagon, game dev, writing, art, music, whatever, no matter how long:

How dare you speak to me (a scrum master) that way

nothing can put a bigger smile on my face than reading that Microsoft has to scale back its AI ambitions because NOBODY uses copilot.

Not only that it came less than a minute after focusing on a child with her mother. Steam has notably denied NSFW vns in the past because there was a child as part of the cast unrelated to any NSFW material. If you're big enough and not anime the kid can be standing 5 feet away from an orgy I guess

Never forget that everyone actually liked Ed Sheeran and the Despicable Me Minions at first, but then one day they reached Popularity Critical Mass and suddenly everyone hated them I'm now watching the same thing happen in real-time with Expedition 33

I recently started using the Ghostty terminal app. The guy who built it previously sold a business to IBM for a billion dollars. It’s great software, and free. Someone asked him “what’s your business model/path to revenue?” and he said “my business model is I have a billion dollars”

ADHD does NOT help with this

qtp with a retro console you've never played I'm guessing emulators don't count otherwise it'd be something like the PC Engine or OG Xbox

what the actual shit

Because of the enshittification of modern tech. Shit isn't made to last anymore, things barely function without recuring costs, we're constantly monitored and our data gets stolen. I'm starting to collect CDs, keep buying physical games, etc. Actually owning shit is a luxury if you don't look back.

aghghh @reviewers sorry i forgot to add this , slide to the review guide that went out

Turns out you CAN have shit in Detroit, it just takes a while

The install size of Helldivers 2 on PC has been reduced from 154 GB to 23 GB with the help of Nixxes www.resetera.com/threads/13...

Psst! You know that little game you loved by that small creator? Go leave it a review 💖🙏

I can't remember if I've said this here before or not, but too many creatives place too much focus on making their works "original" and "unique", and not enough on making them actually good The corollary to that is that a lot of creatives THINK they're being original when they actually aren't

GOATed JRPG I live in hope that someday the Phantasy Star quadrilogy will get the HD-2D treatment

i would use it to pay the bills while i just work on my passion projects full time

I forgot to plug it yesterday (oops), but my game Prism Indigo DX is 40% off during the Black Friday sale. That's the biggest discount yet! store.steampowered.com/app/2927820/...

I love how half the replies are either "this is Owl House" or "this is Witch From Mercury" meanwhile I'm nodding and going "yes this is the yuri webnovel I've been writing except the meteor is metaphorical"

Did you know? Black Friday is named in honor of Rebecca Black, who invented Friday in 2011.
