Slack seems to be down, I think this means I can go now

I lived off a partner for years - essentially - while working on Unfortunate Spacemen. It makes getting up in front of a crowd and talking about "my journey to success" feel priviledged and fake. But it's common and there is often no other option. Support structures matter, make sure you have one.

As I review game designer applications I can only ask game designers to do one thing: plz design games. Don't design "experiences" (whatever that means), don't just design board games, don't only design card games. Just make sure you actually design video games. For the video game design role.

The ARC Raiders withdrawal has set in.

Jealousy is not a good look

free idea after playing Megabonk for 37 seconds Carmageddon 2 Vampire Survivors-like

Found some fog.

I have some concerns about the implications of all of society being a whale farm, which means everyone else is the content for the whales. If you understand free to pay ecosystems it is... Worrying.

We were not made to know so many things at once.

My favorite work status

This bug report and social media have a lot in common.

Turns out it IS actually my circus, but I'm still not entirely sure where the monkeys came from.

Cooked.

Conventions are such a cool little temporary world where we just live in a walkable city with all of our friends.

Say I had a collection of digital videos I wanted to play on a TV, what's the setup people use now for this? Are people still using at-home Plex servers or is there something better now?

There's only one genre of youtube video I watch anymore and it's whatever this genre is

Just found out it's called the Suzuki Jimny, not Jimmy. Really messed up.

If you're okay with doing remote work to what is effectively Pitcairn Island, we are starting to look for a game designer at Deep Field, creators of beloved title Abiotic Factor.

Biggest news story of the day

Curiosity

Core pillar of ABF, meeting all manner of weird little guys

Formative stuff

I like Simon @gamediscoverco.bsky.social

Doggone tired

Watching Criss play RuneScape, damn game's really telling on itself

Some of the most remarkable lost artefacts from the ancient world were the titanic wrecks of the Nemi ships, built for a Roman emperor. In their first-century heyday they held gardens, palaces and baths in a floating wonderland. But barely a decade after their recovery, they were lost forever.

Just ban this person from flying, imo

This is Abiotic Factor for me in a nutshell. I try to remind myself of the last panel, when I can.

Analytics ruin video game design

behind the scenes

I think I will be judged well.

You fools, there is only one path before you.
