even if the awards show was cancelled, I'm still running this discount (until May 12th) using code AWARDS for 50% off your first month! so if you like my work, that's the best place to support me so I can keep making stuff consistently and not worrying (as much) about other work + expenses :)

totally separate from the awards show cancellation, this was honestly the worst trip I've ever had in my LIFE, legit UNIMAGINABLE things went wrong on the way here, and the postponement was a really unfortunate capstone to the whole thing, right as I got to my hotel too

so unfortunately this means i 100% won't be able to attend. it's been a massive honor to be nominated for TWO awards, but getting here today was a huge undertaking for me,and there's no way I'll be able to come back for a reschedule :(

aw man :(

traveling today has been a nightmare, after a horrific flight cancellation and now a super long layover. I'm still going to the indie game awards but I'm going to miss the first few hours of the debug games festival

KEEP DRAWING!

tired and defeated because my overcomplicated UI finally caused problems and now I have to fix it :( lesson learned

WHAT NOW - dashare.zone ADMIN

Imagine being a coder but thinking there's no artistry to writing code. What an empty existence

This is the single funniest thing I have ever seen Bluesky staff do.

i love blaming stuff on vibe coding. i'm vibe blaming, which just as good as placing blame using knowledge

#interfaceX26 is a new event/sale on steam starting Apr 27, all about games with fake/simulated interfaces! my triple-award-nominated game "an unplayable game?!" is a part of it, but it's free so I can't really discount it lol but if you like the concept, check out all these cool #fakeos games!!!

That's exactly right! We are in the business of trying to catch lightning in a bottle. Might as well just have fun while doing it.

Oh no, I just caught myself thinking about what kind of game I could build that would sell. I thought I was struggling with fun ideas, but it turns out the need to survive just poisoned the creativity well. Repeat after me, folks: don't try and make games with money as the end goal.

ITS BEEN DONE more followers than following, my lifelong dream

cool minor announcement later today :) if you liked an unplayable game, it might be relevant

so i watched "mercy" through VERY LEGAL MEANS I ASSURE YOU and the concept was alright! and there were some cool scenes that play with that basic concept unfortunately it turns into really blatant copaganda and ends with "the cops have a cortana now" so... yikes pro ai copaganda for sure. skip it

ROOKS TOGETHER STRONG #marathon

an unplayable game was, in a small way, inspired by myhouse.wad i loved the idea of hiding the entire game for unsuspecting players to discover, and when i realized it was a good fit for my game, i was SO excited to try my hand at it and it seems to have paid off! 3 award noms aint bad #gamedev

davey jones be damned, monday again.

not loving the trend of youtube videos just getting worse and worse i clicked on a video about Mario kart 7 and the dude was talking about the 3ds price in comparison to "the handheld console that preceded it, which was of course the DS" dsi erasure??? or a total lack of research and care???

Long term solo dev is like... I added trombones! Okay trombones broke the sky. I fixed the sky! Okay fixing the sky broke goats. I fixed the goats! Ah shit my wife left

TWO CRYO VAULTS LOOTED 3 KEYS STOLEN FROM OTHER RUNNERS somehow I am POSITIVE on keys today

no way that this happens on the ONE DAY A YEAR that I'm trying to avoid the internet BUT IM SO HONORED, "an unplayable game?!" was such a small project but it's been a dream come true to see it reach so far :') play it, its free!!! congrats to all the other nominees, see you guys across the pond!

OBS wizards/streamers, I'm having trouble and could use a hand my OBS keeps randomly freezing and I'm not sure why (video attached). Tried reinstalling multiple times, removing all plugins, changing video encoder, nothing seems to be working. assistance would be much appreciated!

finally reading uzumaki while waiting for my meds to kick in. very good, but you probably dont need me to tell you that 🌀

after 12 hours i finally beat the last judge and got to act 2 of silksong. is this a good pace? /genq

Could I interest you in a free pixel font this evening? There's 28 to choose from right here under CC0 :) not-jam.itch.io/not-jam-font...

mario galaxy movie might be very weak in a lot of aspects but i CACKLED at "hola yoshi"

oh my god he fucking said WHAT. I'm logging off for the day fuck this, there's nothing i can post that would matter. he should've died from covid in 2020.

if you've seen my Patreon #gamedev updates recently, you might've noticed that I've been a bit hush-hush about a "secret thing I'm working on"... it's this! I was invited to give a little talk about an unplayable game, why/how it came to be, and the importance of understanding inaccessibility :)

people who speed up when you turn on your turn signal, so they dont have to let you in some of the worst behavior out there I think. obviously VERY dangerous because we're in cars + also such a clear indication of needless selfishness, and for what?? so we end up at the same red light in 3 minutes?

AT LAST! I. Will. Have. VENGEANCE!

Depluralize a movie. Crow on the Orient Express

I will die on the hill that it's inappropriate to call Easter "Zombie Jesus Day." Zombie is not a generic term for undead - it has a specific meaning. We HAVE a generic term for beings who have returned compos mentis from death in their original, physical bodies: Revenants.

SWHFTT‼️‼️SUNDAY‼️‼️ 98. The Moon landing was a Raid

cool example of how much design work goes into something as simple as "save the game the moment you lose" sometimes it's better for the game if you just dont worry about it! people will probably try to cheat, but a lot of the time, it's just not worth the extra safeguards imo 1/3🧵

ai overview for a job rejection letter. so I can read that I didn't get the job TWICE

It is the year 2026 AD. Super hackers have gained illicit backdoor access to the AI Claude through the Chipotle support chat.

i know what girls want and what we want is to just like an email instead of having to reply to it

you, a naive fool: i do believe there are some things the nytimes won’t both sides the nytimes:

on a real genuine note, does anyone know how to resize the damn monitors in widows settings? it thinks my main UW monitor is WAY bigger than it actually is, just because I got 1440p at a smaller screen size its not too hard to work with but I sometimes lose my cursor when going between screens :(

tired, (rightfully) distracted, and getting mildly sick. what a week everything is sorted out, FINALLY, so I'm hoping to get back on game dev instead of planning travel and sending emails all day. i am also very bad at sending emails so it takes a while
