if you wish to understand me as a game designer you must know i follow the law of beasts and do things according to my guts and the weather

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

We don’t want AI slop. Stop sending us AI slop. Stop wasting our time with AI slop. It doesn’t sound good. It’s antithetical to our core values. You didn’t even make it. Knock it off.

I’m being asked to leave my apartment after 7 years- any little thing helps-https://linktr.ee/trashcamell?utm_source=linktree_profile_share&ltsid=2aeb66c0-2827-4783-8dab-9fff7be7250e

Did board games peak with Liar’s Dice? I feel like Hnefatafl gets close but Liar’s Dice remains the game my friends always ask me to bring.

I just released a new tileset! I had metal gear on the brain and did a study on how the old Ghost Babel game did its environment design. I got it working nicely with an autotiler too! casnef.itch.io/sneakytileset

Based on feedback from developers- I’m planning to make a Remote Voice Actors starter pack, so if you’d like to be on that tell me about your studio and drop your reel. (Also let me know if this already exists)

tl;dr - the reason why pro-censorship groups, notably Collective Shout, have influence over the payment processors is because they’re backed by a lobbying group called GOSRN (the Global Online Safety Regulators Network) if you’re looking at the PP censor situation, you might want to look into this.

IT'S WORKING, Y'ALL!! Keep the pressure up!!

Currently on the phone with Visa Instead of starting with a complaint, I approached this as a Confused American Consumer who doesn't understand why they can't buy things off a website they use The call center rep immediately asked if it was about Steam/itch (cont)

Kevin McLeod, who for 20 years has been the "royalty-free music guy" online, has just launched a new website where other composers will also be offering royalty-free music for anyone to use in their projects: freepd.com

i like putting stuff like this in my calendar. i can't really bear to do it every day, but mine's on every 3 days reminder like this (and i include the phone number and any notes in the current entry, which gets propagated to all future calendar entries). this way i can keep it up and i won't forget

Thank you, Colleen O'Shaughnessey.

In fairness, "Hire a real artist," is good advice and something we've done before AND WE'LL DO IT AGAIN.

All you can eat sushi is great. It lets me live out the fantasy of being a Gluttonous King scouring down food and demanding “MORE!” as the waitress comes to pick up my towering pile of plates.

important life hack for video games

Roll20, which owns DriveThruRPG, told Rebel Scum's designer (@9thlevelgames.bsky.social) that allowing their "hateful content" and political speech on its platform constituted a "slippery slope."

my thought process while making the pixelvision8 palette ( lospec.com/palette-list...) - no pure black/ white, for extra character - colors that can produce loong color ramps e.g. white-yellow-orange-red-purple-black - at least one definite 4 color grayscale (gameboy) ramp

This anonymous hate I got on tumblr is the best review that I could have asked for. I wish I had written “thinly veiled anti-Al rant disguised as ethical guidance” on the cover of the book a.co/d/92AHmvR

ICE out of LA #americanimmigrantssolidarity

I consider the Bakers to be the single most influential game designers of the 21st century, and if you don't believe me, you can go look at every single game that uses their philosophies and structures, without even knowing they are using them.

it has finally happened

Getting creative with my #tilesets. Have an offshore oil platform

Happy Pride Month. @tomschalk.bsky.social as Challia Me as Char

The Flyer. 1/4

I freaking love this #tileset. So retro. Such Monochromatic.

PIXEL ART BATTLEMAPS

happy gay month everyone! and remember:

Hey #lancer folks! My friends and I just finished a game jam submission for the LANCER One-shot Module Jam and you should check it out! It's all about fighting computer viruses taking over a simulation. casnef.itch.io/consume-code

PIXEL ART BATTLEMAPS

Hey you #LANCER and #ttrpg folks. I made some tilesets for making World Maps and Battlemaps. Great for fantastical and alien worlds! casnef.itch.io/axis-mundi-t...

somehow we got more linux setups in this house than windows ones... this truly is the year of the linux desktop

My dog loves to play with stuffed animals, but only if I roleplay them as if they’re this soft spoken character trying to be their friend. And once I do that she pounces on them and rips them to shreds while I roleplay the stuffie screaming for its life. I’m DM’ing for my chaotic evil dog.

*said like Rich Evans* ~CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVVVVESSSSSSSSS~

I got one of those toys as a kid that advertised something like, "13 unique voice lines!". I remember saying, "That's it?" but not because I wanted there to be more. I genuinely believed you'd only get 13 lines and then you'd never get another one again. Silent forever.

Making unhinged emoji's for my discord is my favorite freaking thing.

Look Maw! I made new buildings!! More things for the players to destroy! #pixel-art

My poor computer can’t handle much these days and it’s time to get a new one. I’m offering Commissions! ko-fi.com/voidquail/co...

The perfect man cave doesn’t exis- Oh fuck

Hit a wall with the tileset and decided to start over. Aiming for a "realistic" scale for Lancer was proving difficult. This version makes lots of little changes that ends up looking more stylized. And hopefully easier to read. #lancerrpg #pixelart #ttrpg #battlemap
