Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

I don't want gen AI in my browser I don't want gen AI in my pc I don't want gen AI in my art I don't want gen AI in my games I don't want gen AI in my music I don't want gen AI in my movies I don't want gen AI in my books I don't want gen AI in my cart I don't want gen AI in my life

Happy Mewgenics day to those who celebrate

Between Fable, Mewgenics, Hozy, Paralives, Erosion, and Dobble Dungeon, my Steam wishlist is looking very healthy. I think 2026 is going to be a great year for games releasing

In this age of review embargoes lifting at the last possible second, Mewgenics reviews coming out releasing the week before completely threw me. I'd almost forgotten early reviews could happen

getting increasingly stressed that I've only got a single lifetime to work on all my projects

Overheard in Waterstones: "I loved the Midnight Club but I couldn't get into Mike Flanagan's other series because they're about old people" Old people... Ouch.

Listening to the latest @playwatchlisten.bsky.social episode at the gym, and my headphones ran out of battery just after Alanah asked Mike "Are you into goth girls?" What a cliffhanger! @charalanahzard.bsky.social @mikebithell.bsky.social

Mistborn and Stormlight Archive TV shows! Hopefully this means we'll finally get to see Sanderson's work on screen. And he's got creative control. I need to go shout at the sky in excitement. www.ign.com/articles/bra...

Counterpoint. Instead, offer free media literacy and critical thinking training to every adult in the UK.

The place we need to get people to, on both sides of the Atlantic, is immigration enforcement is not a priority. It should rank far below littering on our priorities as a society. We're talking about paperwork here.

Going to a LOTR themed night at a friend's house. Naturally, being 6 foot 3, I've chosen to go as a hobbit.

I'm kind of convinced we've been living in the Darkest Timeline since around 2016

Only tangentially related to this, but for a long time I refused to call Twitter "X" because it felt like Musk trying to claim credit for someone else's homework. But the Twitter I knew is dead and buried, and new built-in features are used to abuse. So now I call it X

Now's a great time to delete that X account. I just did.

I'd been in a writing rut this year, feeling like I'm treading water with my current book. So, for the first time, I tried a November writing challenge ( #WriteOne since #NaNoWriMo is dead). 800 words per day writing something new, continued into December. Just hit 32,000 words and loving it.

Hi GameDevs please share to help your friends get hired. We are opening more roles: www.absurdventures.com/careers

I googled "chill games on gamepass". One of these things is not like the others

1 day, 3 hours, 48 minutes and 15 seconds until #Reach comes out... Not that I'm counting or anything... 👀

It's almost here 🎉 Cannot wait for people to get their hands on Reach. 16th of October!

So proud to finally be able to show off what @ndreams.bsky.social Elevation has been working on for the last 3 years. Can't wait for you all to get hands on

Anyone know any decent alternatives to Duolingo that aren't 'AI first'?

I just got a very small amount of hands on time with Clair Obscur Expedition 33, and damn that game looks good. Slick presentation and a really fun evolution of turn based combat. I wonder if dodging and parrying means you could get through the game without taking damage... 🤔

Don't think I've been this hyped for a game reveal in years. Oblivion Remaster reveal here in 15 mins www.youtube.com/live/kjOiLCC... #ElderScrolls #Oblivion

Some great (mostly evergreen) game design tips here. Making me itch to get back into some side projects

It's little things like this that I love most in games. Where some dev has lovingly crafted a rabbit hole that only a handful of people will ever find

HOLY SHIT! This might be the coolest thing ever.

Currently watching Eternal Strands download after the last couple of Play Watch Listen episodes piqued my interest. Really looking forward to this one (hurry up interwebs)

Enjoying Brian Eno’s book, What Art is For 📚

I started playing Cryptmaster last night after seeing it the latest Design Delve video. Its incredible, and a really good couples game. My partner and I have had loads of fun figuring out the puzzles together. Highly recommended! @designdelve.bsky.social @thecryptmaster.bsky.social

I recently discovered Brassic on Netflix and why the hell didn't I watch this sooner? I could happily binge all 6 seasons in one go

Duolingo judging me hard this Tuesday afternoon

Optimist: The cup is half full. Pessimist: The cup is half empty. VR developer: The cup comes with the expectation of interaction. It needs weight, a custom hand pose, you need to be able to fill it, and...

I like to be helpful

I've started playing through Baldurs Gate 3 with my partner, and we've really hit our stride with this teamwork thing. I fling every spell I have at our enemies while she runs around looting their bodies mid-battle. Works a treat.

Ah we're out of the darkness and emerged into blue skies 😌 We're nDreams and we make non-toxic, non-doom scrolly, non-hateful VR games. Give us a follow if that sounds good to you 😇

I picked up Legends & Lattes by @travisbaldree.bsky.social as a palette cleanser after a mammoth month with The Magician, and holy crap why didn't I read this sooner. I love Viv, Cal, and the rest. And if anything happens to Amity, I'm gonna throw something. 💙📚

From the archive: About a year ago, I had this random idea—how would "Owen," a character from a game I made back in university, look with all the knowledge I'd picked up since then? Character modelling isn’t really my forte, but sculpting is always fun.

Heya everyone, thought I'd re-introduce myself (I have been a hermit for a while) I'm Sam, based in the UK, and I previously worked on Atomfall at Rebellion and currently at nDreams Elevation as an Environment Artist. Will be ramping up on some personal projects 🙌

It's pumpkin carving night, and this might be the best thing I've ever done in my whole life. I love them, and will be very sad when they're rotten

Intro time! Hey everyone. I'm a #GameDev and SFF writer based in the UK. I'm currently working as a level designer on a VR thing I can't talk about (but am very excited about!) for nDreams. Let's connect!

Bluesky feels like a decent opportunity to start fresh with which communities I'm part of. It feels hopeful compared to the Other Place.
