Folks hovering around my generation, plus or minus ten years, keep pining for IPs to return, and its like I keep saying, do you actually want New Thing from Franchise You Like, or do you want to re-experience that feeling you got when you fell in love with Franchise You Like and hope this'll do it?

I want to write another indie fighting game roundup for April on SuperCombo! If you have released a new character or a new version or your published fighting game or you have a major update (e.g. Kickstarter launch, Steam page launch), please reply here!👇 (Only original IPs, no fan games)

イロトリドリノセカイ🌍

LOL, trying to stay offline and do my work, and friends are sending me "LOOK AT THIS NEW PIC!" texts .... This one is worth it. First PoC and first woman to go around another world. Don't stop talking about this point. It's important. #ArtemisII

some of these are definitely "process of elimination" due to keeping it one per franchise, but still p. close

Be kind. Be good. Be empathetic. It's never too late to grow and evolve as a person. The anger in your heart is nothing to the love that you can give to the world and yourself. I might sound corny af but trust me; living life with a full heart beats trudging through life with nothing but hate.

"arcade games are just made to steal your quarters" is like some "contemporary art is just money laundering" type shit. dispense with these layer-two takes you heard from someone marginally smarter than you. play out run. get your cock out and play xevious. play mr. do!

been sitting on this for a while, but was thinking abt beat 'em ups again. how they're not only for old fogeys like me but also please get away from 80s cartoons at least a little bit (until I find a good image for blog embeds, enjoy my lovely pitbull) dynamicdonut.bearblog.dev/beat-em-up-t...

Canadian Games funding is unique and NEEDS to be discussed authentically The numbers dont add up and give a false sense of the realities when leaving out crucial info: With a successful CMF application your 100k investment becomes 400k with a 15% recoup. Insanely good deal considering the world

🌞 SOL CESTO – 1.0 OUT NOW ON STEAM 🌞 It took us nearly 3 years, but Sol Cesto is finally complete! We hope you’ll enjoy our weird roguelite and all the surprises we’ve added 👀 Please help us spread the word 🙌

I just got back from some of the major news websites—and I know there's a lot going on—but I kinda think the president of the United States publicly posting a graphic video of a murder should be news.

Going to join my voice with those of my lovely friends and say that this kind of gatekeeping can f off. Especially if it comes from anyone who just buys games or hardware to look pretty on a shelf anyway. Vintage/classic/retro games are for everyone, and it doesn't matter in the end how you play.

you do not have to hand it to tucker carlson or marjorie taylor greene or alex jones or megyn kelly. they're all rats who see trump as a sinking ship and they're getting ready to jump in preparation for their next act. you do not have to fall for it.

A "use it or lose it" clause is the perfect way to describe it, and should be used for all media in the entertainment industry in general. Your company will not go bankrupt if you make a 13 episode show available for streaming or home media, I promise you

Letterbox is the best social media app because it’s 99% finding cool new movies from friends and 1% like a Free Willy Stan gets mad at you

I used to write the WaPo editorials on US-Africa policy, as well on as human rights and politics on the continent. To describe hundreds of thousands of deaths on the continent as “messy” is an absolute abomination.

I refuse to be hopeless. I would rather be delusional.

EXPERTS IN WHAT EXACTLY

The skill of knowing when something is 'good enough' and moving on to another area is a *vital* skill/sense to develop.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility ❤️🏳️‍⚧️❤️

I’m so proud to have fans who take to the streets to stand up for humanity, just as I do. And I’m equally proud of those who feel the same way, even if they can’t be there 🫀🪽 ぼくと同じように、人間の尊厳のために街頭に立つファンがいることを心から誇りに思う。そして、ここに来れずとも同じ気持ちを持っているすべてのひとのことも、同様に誇りに思う🫀🪽

it's such a bummer these devs only did these three stylized games, they were REALLY talented

Gaming has to be accessible to children or the whole party is over.

ANTI RACISM RAVE IN SHINJUKU MOTHERFUCKERS

if you’re at mocca this weekend, i’m bringing along some donation-based stickers! pay what you want, proceeds from these will go towards my local mutual aid in sunnyside/woodside ( @swma.nyc )

My favourite thing in this genre is the DVDs from the original Dead Rising, which until about a year ago were somehow completely undocumented online

one thing you can do for your laid off friends is reach out to them and tell them that you appreciated their work. I dislike the stigma in America of people avoiding talking to you because you were callously cut out of employment because people who have no taste deleted you from a spreadsheet

Here are Dave and David's full unedited comments for those interested:

A thing I'd like to build with friends: UFO 50, for TTRPGs. An anthology of small games that talk to each other inside a shared universe. Each game covers a different area or aspect of the world. Games can cover wide swatches or small corners, cover events or moments...

So, Epic bought one of the biggest Brazilian game studios (Aquiris, the devs of Horizon Chase and Wonderbox), turns them into Fortnite skin makers and now they’re firing many devs and stopping distribution of their previous games. It’s making my blood boil.

anyone friends with me on steam know this list is bad bad

this is not a dig at Kinney or a "should have known better" since I have been there, but I did learn the hard way to never put my body on the line for crunch or give up weekends and attending important family milestones with the expectation of company loyalty or a company even noticing or caring

It’s as easy as shutting your effin mouth! And did I mention… it’s free?!

Really helpful video. Pointing out how the obvious signs of AI tricking us aren't so obvious anymore, making it more likely that we don't double check. Which, as somebody who hates GenAi & how I have to double check real artist to make sure it's not AI slop, is really annoying

「THE NEXT GENERATION パトレイバー」

"Authors feel their work has been stolen" I have server reports and resource warnings that were generated due to GenAI theft bots scraping Anime Herald day and night. I have bags under my eyes because I repeatedly had to fix the server at 4AM Fuck y'all who say otherwise, we HAVE been stolen from

Thinking about how my students have never known a time when this wasn’t true, and I have no idea how that shapes their expectations, goals, decision-making.

In case anyone's curious what this kind of thing looks like practically, here's one line in Detective Instinct. Control codes for fading out/starting music in a specific number of frames, pausing the text printing for a specific number of frames, changing expression mid-line, text speed, etc.

oh my god this is legitimately rad as heck
