Burger Becky, a trans elder in game development, was recently diagnosed with cancer. When she sets up the inevitable fundraiser to help pay for treatment i hope people will consider giving.

the wip i was working on when this happened

There's always time for fun...It's Friday night.

zero divide 2 p cool...really lookin forward to that bracket

Join us November 11th for Zero Divide 2! A very "Virtua Fighter with Robots" type of game. The presentation is frankly awesome (especially the soundtrack), the robot designs are pretty creative, and the gameplay is snappier than you'd expect! Sign up here

Back to The Lab is heating up for November 🧪🕹️ Join us November 4th for Fatal Fury Special! One of old SNK's finest, Fatal Fury Special is equal parts calculated and explosive. Buttons are strong, damage is high, and there's no shortage of defense thanks to the strength of backdash. Sign up here

Lowtax speedruns would be enthralling if any of the leading competitors were skilled enough to complete the run.

The Japanese Mario 64 official strategy guide is an incredible thing. "Can we make little hand-made dioramas of all the levels?" "Sure, why the hell not."

i walk around my house like a rat goblin

whenever someone says "gaming is an expensive luxury" i have to add a "NOT YOU" to the end of their post because my interests are almost exclusively 2d games that run on potatoes that can be bought for under ten bucks, plus ancient arcade games

Imagine being the CEO of a company that solely exists, & attracts investment, because a critical mass of people abandoned your competitor over bigotry. Now imagine crashing out publicly & asserting your userbase has no value to you because you don't want to eject a specific & named bigot.

Friday is the last day to register for this, so even though Mystery isn't until Sunday you got through Friday to make sure you're in this, and other, brackets. ALSO. I'm giving games away from my big ol' satchel of Steam stuff to everyone who enters (in order of place). Play games, get a game. :D

Sujood is trying to get her baby better medication

Yeah

my wife has told me that i am a quote "mean girl poster" and chat is that true

Here’s a thing I’ll add, as someone who’s been there: if you’re the CEO of a platform with millions of users, you don’t get to have as much fun on that platform, period. And your job is to eat shit every time a legitimate critique of policy comes up. That’s the gig. Don’t sign up if you aren’t game.

really great thread. Literacy is absolutely the correct frame. Say someone picks up an STG, bounces off it, says "I'm bad at them" within minutes of playing one for the first time; if someone did this with Joyce or Faulkner or whatever you'd encourage them to build that literacy muscle over time

There's currently a subscription drive for Indiepocalypse if a monthly curated 10 game collection of indie games (plus a ~5 year back library) from a *wide* range of devs sounds like something you'd be into. Every subscription directly supports contributors. patreon.com/indiepocalypse

worth pointing out that "end of support" does not mean the operating system suddenly stops working and drops dead. you won't get updates, but for most people this will not matter at all, at least for a year or two.

love to read this stuff how Metal Slug achieved that amazing art by using 3 pillars, shapes, coloring and shading 6th-divisions-den.co...

Columns II is a game that dresses its volatility in subtlety. There’s not a ton of gimmicks, just chaining and damage offsetting. However, you will never be ready for how much a single chain with like 10 pieces will hurt. Hope you’re ready to pop X-Factor with us challonge.com/PWVoyage2nd

I have been trying to find more of these cars but if you can believe it searching for “sluts train bomber” and similar terms is not exactly fruitful, at least for the task at hand.

evil zone is such a funny video game www.twitch.tv/thecommunity...

I've been bedridden for the last 10 months, unable to work as I try to get a surgeon and insurance lined up for my operation to let me work again. If you could send a couple dollars, it'd really help. Time isn't on my side here, and waiting is very expensive. ko-fi.com/fooneturing
