With all this microslop banning "Microslop" on all their platforms, it feels a bit like the principle skinner meme, like "Are our products bad? No! It's the users who are wrong!"

That one tune in Castlevania III... does it sound like a squeaky hinge, or maybe a plastic straw in a disposable cup?

I'm in need of a frame graphic for stream polls. Anybody out there open to discussion? Frame must be tentacle-y. Signal boost if you can! #art #stream

I have just released some patches for the NES game Deadly Towers to make the experience a little more palatable, One just speeds up transitions and stops repeated music tracks restarting, the other adds no knockback and iframes on room entry. Enjoy! #NES #DeadlyTowers github.com/refractionpc...

More developments: Scott talks about how Ars Technica published an article on the subject with AI hallucinated quotes, discusses theories on why the original piece was posted and by whom, and the overall effectiveness of it. theshamblog.com/an-ai-agent-...

Please if you wish to contribute to a big project you love, but you don't know how to code yourself, please donate, or help other users. PR's where you asked an AI to generate code is nothing but detrimental, more often than not it's uninformed work that is incorrect in its function/implementation.

I should really post when I make a thing. So I made a really bad tool for Ultima Underworld 1 & 2 where you can replace the portraits/body with your own. It's not amazing, but it does the job! If it sounds interesting to you, you can check it out here #Ultima #Modding github.com/refractionpc...

Small, free act you can do to bring some good in this world: add positive reviews to ALL you Steam games, especially the small indies. You don't need to write anything smart, just "game good" is enough. Every positive steam review tips the algorithm and helps your fav artists get more sales

Another year comes by, and so another PCSX2 release! 2.6 just landed, check it out here: pcsx2.net/blog/2025/pc... #emulation #retrogaming #pcsx2

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone whatever you may celebrate this festive period, and if that's nothing at all, have a excellent day :)

Pretty disappointed in both @humblebundle.com and especially in @girlswhocode.bsky.social. Please teach girls how to code, don't push them into generative AI. That won't build their skills. Prioritize foundational programming skills and awaken their interest. "Tired of long days writing code"???

Rough monster pose sketches for a side project that's on hold.

Time to update the "Microsoft is a corporation that turns 30% of code is written by AI in to" meme www.neowin.net/news/microso...

Head's up there is a Bluesky ban scam going around. This account just joined 40 mins ago and send me this DM. DO NOT CLICK THE LINK. Bluesky would NEVER send a DM like this and make you scared. This would come through email and would have a more professional email than this. Stay safe!

The latest video from @mattkc.com covers a now-infamous GTA San Andreas bug with the Skimmer not spawning on Windows 11 24H2! youtu.be/poEo0GrQTtQ

Apparently I deleted the entire last post, not intended, but anyway, I managed to fit a 30 second 1080p video on to a floppy disk! Quality isn't great, but very good for the size, enjoy! (link for video in comments) #av1 #floppydisk #compression

Give folks their flowers No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier "They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

For the devs following me that build their games on Unity - important news ☝️

Jimmy Kimmel's Monologue now has 14.3 MILLION VIEWS on YouTube. It would be a shame for you to share it www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1tj...

#GodotEngine 4.5 has finally arrived! 🎉 With this new release, we made meticulous efforts in order to amplify what is possible to do with our engine, guided by our goal of making gaming and game development for everyone! godotengine.org/releases/4.5/

So I saw the video from 100th Coin yesterday about his test that he ran on all the Nintendo NES emus through the years, and how badly they did (I'll post a link to the video in the comments), so figured I'd try it on my emulator, and to be honest, consdering it's incomplete, i did pretty good!

Now if UK politicians could do this against this man. UK might be in a better position. And I'm looking at various media companies over here as well the amount of leeway you given Farage is completely unacceptable.

GOG Are giving away some more adult games (not all p*rn) in protest/movement against censorship in gaming by payment processors. They're up for 48 hours so be quick! items.gog.com/freedomtobuy...

I do firmly believe that refusing to outsource your basic cognitive functions to LLMs right now - as so many are stumbling over themselves to do right now, like hogs trotting to a pile of slop that’s been set up inside of a butcher’s delivery truck - will very much pay off in a few years.

Please sign this if you are able. Payment processors being able to dictate content available on gaming platforms is overstretching their jurisdictions. Adult gaming has much of a right as any other type to exist, and LGBTQ+ content has been unfairly added to the mix. Stop this madness. #gaming #lgbt

To honor Ozzy's larger-than-life rock and roll legacy, we're making Brütal Legend *FREE* on itch.io: doublefine.itch.io/brutal-legend But this incredible deal will only last for 666 minutes, as the prophecy foretold. So get yourself clicking, before it disappears like a demon in the night... 🤘 🖤

Today at work, we had a townhall meeting with the head of RnD where we were told we have to embrace vibe coding and if the AI lies/hallucinates, we just have to add "don't lie to me" to the prompt. I hate this world.

This is important to sign and share. I archive Dutch language educational games (yeah very niche, that's why they require archiving) and I have to deal with lost media a lot. Don't let games disappear, please. stopkillinggames.com

@fanatical.com is running a "Build your own Point and Click Collection" and The Will of Arthur Flabbington is among the titles you can choose! So if you were waiting for the right moment to get it, don't miss out www.fanatical.com/en/pick-and-... #pointandclick #indiegame #bundle #steamkeys

This is devastating, trigger warnings ahead. This is the loss of an amazing soul, absolutely heart-breaking. Always remember, your words matter and they can impact peoples lives, in both directions. #saveafox #triggerwarning #rip

Mostly finished... mostly. #art #frog #herps #digitalart

This was NOT on my bingo card! The hype is real!

I think this is an easter egg in Smackdown Vs RAW 2006 on PS2, possibly one of the devs, but no idea who, any ideas? The texture quality isn't very good, the OG texture was 64x64 for the entire crowd member lol

Looks like the BBC are getting in on dad jokes now. Saw an article this morning about the new Met Office super computer for predicting weather. It's a cloud-based system

Apparently the Mages Guild were running a naturist event, and nobody told me about it!

So it turns out the Oblivion Remaster DOES still have potato faces :D @thecantina.bsky.social

It's good to see they kept the best art in Oblivion!

Amiga Friday was a lot of fun today. Actually found a lot of really fun games, and I had a nice time. Thanks to the huge raid from BillBull, too! I made a highlights montage #Amiga youtu.be/yF_CaKp7qiI

Hi hi! These are some pieces from the last year for #portfolioday . I would love to work in gaming, both video and board doing illustration work. I do mostly pixel art, but I also love digital painting. Slowly working on learning to animate.

Yes please, Microsoft, tell the scammer my email is active and that I don't want any more emails from them, what would go wrong?

One of the #pcsx2 testers found a hidden fun thing in the texture for Agent 47 from Hitman Contracts, apparently there was room for his beat up face which I guess never got used! #ps2 #hitman #gaming
