Not me though, my next project is super normal. The normalest thing ever. Just so fucking normal

Weird trans people on the internet will create stories that institutional media companies are too chickenshit to ever try, and that's just how it's going to be

My partner loves Tunic. Plays randomizer every day. 1490hrs on Steam. (just looked) They still fight ~everything by bashing an attack button as fast as possible and dashing a lot. I’ve learned a lot from this as a game designer.

just because you don't want to hear the advice (no one ever wants advice) doesn't mean it's wrong.

I am definitely going to start saying i am “high level” now whenever age comes up

This is my office assistant he mostly provides hot gossip and microwaves fish

Oh so you’re autistic? Name 100 of something

Gonna start a voice coaching sidebiz called “the Tone Police”

Reader, it always breaks, eventually.

Atmosphere. Environment. Ambiance. Color, music, sound, movement. The best games succeed in making ALL the details work together.

Zelda is a Metroidvania right

I too wish creating things was as easy as destroying them But this is never the case

Who wants to be nerds with me 👉👈

You can play my 3hr creation "Dreams of the Divine" at drajjon.itch.io/dotd #zzt #ascii #retrogame

OMG Watch This Designer Make An Entire #retrogame In THREE HOURS!? #ascii #zzt 😱<-pretend this is the thumbnail www.twitch.tv/videos/27794...

I want like Private social media So my future self Has blackmail material To get past Alexis To tell the truth

Tea and snack Hot shower Fuck the noise i do what i want because its what i need

my ADHD is like weaponized object impermanence, whatever I can see, is what I focus on, good bad and ugly

I really don't wanna do anything. I'm bored and lazy. (2 sec later) This rote work task is so much fun! (2 sec later) Oh I bet this would be a good bsky post #isthiswhatadhdfeelslike

If we never accept apologies, then we simply teach people that it's in their best interests to double-down and never change.

this is so cool. I hope to still be releasing games when i'm 80 :D they will probably look a lot like this too lol

just spent 15 minutes fighting several verification systems trying to log into my CC web account and gave up when they wanted me to wait on hold for 20 minutes called them to cancel the CC and that took <5 minutes and half as many pieces of info 🤯

why is LITERALLY EVERYONE so addicted to HYPERBOLE

"Please click HERE to read our updated ToS. By accessing our site, you represent that you agree to our ToS in full." where does legal precedent stand on shrink-wrap EULAs again? 🫠

i feel like i've lost the plot. all my efforts feel pointless - like the storyline is moving along at a fixed pace regardless of whether I do (or do not do) anything at all

Post-vacation, unpacking my suitcase one outfit a day. Peak efficiency.

TIL that many “booktok influencers” just read dialogue and skip the “big paragraphs” and like this is a new type of broken that I’d never considered, gj social media

Sitting in the ferry line (street shoulder) for 30 minutes and two ppl think they’re all clever turning off a side street right in front of me Yes, I got out of my car and let them both know how clever they were They did not change course, but now they get to relish the awkwardness too

OP: People prefer X because people aren't afraid to disagree Quote: THIS IS RIDICULOUS NO ONE LIKES ARGUING I sure love social media

“You have one remaining wish.” “Summon a hydra in the middle of my enemy’s fortress, but one with so many heads that any new heads will be crushed immediately, creating an ever-expanding mass of hydra heads that will destroy the entire stronghold.” “You mean…?” “Yes. A hydra-djinn bomb.”

the online trans community on here is *intensely* sensitive to priming. I don't think people realize nearly enough how dangerous it is to allow themselves to perceive danger from every direction when in fact that danger is coming overwhelmingly from one very dangerous direction (the US government)

and automatic distrust for anyone who isn't openly trans is also not a survival strategy. I'm sorry, it's not. It's just not! You cannot in fact treat every cis person as an antagonist! you cannot go through life like this and if you do you will be vulnerable to bad actors from our community!

I guess downstream of that it's deeply unsettling how many people in my ostensible "community" are utterly unable to perceive the difference between a person who is deeply bigoted and someone who doesn't agree with them

“The joy of the chase is better than the reward of owning” This article perfectly captures how I feel about collecting stuff

Who wants to go on vacation* *sit in each other’s vicinity while we stare at our screens

Does anyone need some advice or is my dinner lying to me

Really wish steam had a neutral review Like i want people to have a chance to be warned about things that might really turn them off (like they do me) without saying the game is actually “bad”

I have lost track of the number of games I’ve abandoned at the “final boss/stage”.

my first thought when I see this is "omg shiny pretty" my second is "I'd love to make/play this game" my third is "why did DOS ASCII not spare two measly characters for diagonal half-blocks"

i was just thinking how "Cyanne" would be a pretty cool name for a group of characters all named after colors and apparently it's a "real name", but like, one of those real names where the first page of search results is all baby-name pages and no one actually HAS the name
