Look at the serene, watery vibes of Oceanopolis 2000 with your poor, dry eyes. #ScreenShotSaturday #GameDev #PCGaming

I don't hear a lot about the FCC bothering artists anymore. Were they defeated that badly by Eminem?

Today I found a concept draft for my games current UI, along with a note in my handwriting that said "This is lame. Do not use."

Oceanopolis 2000 is now 588% funded on Kickstarter, but you can still reserve a copy for $1 as long as the campaign lasts. #Kickstarter #IndieGames #GameDev www.kickstarter.com/projects/aco...

Finally got around to adding "rotate building" into Oceanopolis 2000. Only took me 5 months. #GameDev #IndieDev #PCGaming

I don't normally use AI, and today I was reminded why. I tried searching for a summary of a book and the fucking robot just made one up. Entire bullet pointed plot line with characters and motives. "My bad. You want an actual summary of the book, not a potential plot line in that author's style."

I know most of you don't follow me for Kickstarter spam, but for outdated media opinions. So, here is one. Turok fucking rocks. It feels like having a fever dream after watching Indiana Jones and listening to metal all day.

The campaign to get my new cable, I mean launch Oceanopolis 2000, is still going great! #GameDev #Kickstarter #PCGaming

I didn't expect this much support. I really need to start thinking about stretch goals. #GameDev #Kickstarter #IndieDev

Download Oceanopolis 2000 and help bring some life to the bottom of the ocean. #IndieGaming #PCGaming

Hell yeah #GameDev #IndieGaming

Bored? Why not try building an underwater city. Oceanopolis 2000 is currently free on Itch.io #GameDev #IndieGames #PCGaming intimidation-crab.itch.io/stupidrapture

I am proud to announce that after just 8 hours, my latest project has reached 89% of its funding goals. www.kickstarter.com/projects/aco... #GameDev #IndieDev #Kickstarter

Build your own stupid version of Rapture intimidation-crab.itch.io/stupidrapture

A new website about PC games, from me, @brendyc.bsky.social and @jonhicks.com. Reader-supported, which means no ads, no guff, and lots of games blogging about delightful things to play. If you liked our work on RPS, we think you'll like @jank.cool.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Pst, hey kid, wanna build an underwater utopia? intimidation-crab.itch.io/stupidrapture

Watching Blade and realizing what Twilight took from us. Rave vampires are absolutely superior to emo vampires.

I love the way Maximus delivers his lines in a casual deadpan. I was thinking about it sounded like someone disassociating from stress, but he sounds exactly like the Fallout 4 player voice. "Do you want to kill a whole camp or raiders?" "Sure, buddy" #Fallout

No matter how many streaming services I subscribe to, I can never seem to watch a James Bond movie.

Every MIT Technology Review article: "How AI is eroding our sense of basic trust, making the internet unusable, and destabilizing democracy" Brought to you by AI-Driven AdTech Company "Gaslight your customers with the power of AI!"

Recently cancelled Game Pass and I was weirdly shocked to realize I don't digitally own any Halo games.

I want to play Fable 2 again. I miss Blood Stone.

I have been saying this for years, but the conversation has finally come up again. I would pay a one time micro-transaction to not see anyone's unique skin in online games. #Battlefield #CoD

I'm going to make an environmentally friendly alternative to ChatGPT. When you have a question, it will simply connect you to a stoned college kid who will make up an answer. I'll call it ChatTHC. Should be about as reliable as the current model.

In case anyone was wondering, building interconnected systems for a city builder is actually difficult. Who could have known?

Is anyone else getting followed by a bunch of bots with Cartoon Network names?

My main project is taking way longer than I would like to make. So, now I'm skimming my backlog of ideas looking for something that I can make in a day or two to get a dopamine hit.

Micro DevBlog 15 - Operation Spilled Martini -Rebooted the demo of OSM for the 3rd time. Very happy with this version. -Had a coding day where everything worked first try and I really enjoyed that. #DevBlog #GameDev #IndieGaming

We just don't make TV shows with high stakes dinner parties riddled with hijinks anymore, and what a fucking shame.

It's great how much thriller authors love killing Elon Musk.

Does anyone have a good recipe for baked Alaska? Trying to impress some people.

Added a nice little (Comically large) Cray super computer for the player to ruin in Operation Spilled Martini #GameDev #IndieGame

Theory: Randy Pitchford has a slight leg up in the industry because it would be impossible to turn down a pitch meeting with someone by that name. #GameDev #Borderlands4 #PCGaming

I sometimes miss the mono-culture, but I always desperately miss counter culture.

Testing out some aesthetics for a mission briefing screen. Trying to blatantly rip off Mission Impossible.

Entry #21 from my Idea Graveyard: Act as a humble farmer building more and more elaborate traps to stop heros from entering your house and breaking all your pots. Plays like a Tower Defense #GameDev

I think the audio book I just abandoned was narrated by AI, but I can't prove it. Now I feel like a New England settler sure that his neighbor is cavorting with the devil. Kent Klineman has sold his soul to Robot Satan and should be shunned.

Been having a lot of fun messing around with level design in OSM #GameDev #IndieGaming #LevelDesign

If anyone is working for a business Sugar daddy (publisher) who has lots of money to light on fire (invest wisely) then I have a whole lot of bad ideas (promising prototypes) for you. But you'll have to make the deal sweet, because I am doing just fine (running out of money) on my own. #GameDev
