*beats you with a rock over and over again* YOU DIDNT GET THE JOKE BECAUSE I DIDNT WRITE IT FOR YOU MOST GOOD THINGS IN THIS WORLD WERE NOT MADE FOR YOU NOW DIE

What a delightful way to discover the game you're playing is unquestionably Australian

In Donkey Kong Country 2, it is possible to trap Diddy Kong in a state of eternal horror. Hitting K. Rool with a team-up throw in a specific manner will cause Diddy's eyes to pop out in shock; however, he will never recover and stay in this state until the game is reset.

This shit is exactly why placeholders are commonly pink/black checkerboxes with PLACEHOLDER in giant text on it so that shit doesn't get missed and go to fucking retail

Cert is a difficult process and can really trip you up if you haven't done it before, so it's positive that some of this is being released. In narrative there are a whole bunch of things like incorrect terminology or broken button prompts that can cause submission issues.

twitter has been deserted for good so i suppose i will post here too: i am currently open for work! hit me up if you know of openings that i'd be a good fit for 🫡 i updated my hireme page with a sample of the stuff i can do - videogame graphics, VFX, 2D art and so on polclarissou.com/hireme/

Been playing the only good videogame

I dunno, I just don't think this new NPC character in Metroid Prime 4 feels in keeping with the spirit of the series

Hm.

Oh my god, what a cool website. People are still making cool websites in this day and age... I'm so happy... kendalls.garden/coropata

one good thing tonight - now very badly hoping for a second. 10 second exposure on my phone from near Waitpinga Beach

one of the sublime delights of working on Eternal Strands was getting to work with @robynholdaway.bsky.social - Laen wouldn't be half as sparkly a character without their insights and creative input. I truly do not understand the AI spruikers' impulse to do away with human collaboration

I wish it would stay there!

A rare interview with the creators of the always-funny, always-brilliant, and *usually*-sexy—or occasionally anti-sexy—OGLAF! Cooper has kept a low profile over the years, but is legitimately one of the very best artists in comics today. Read OGLAF if you're old enough to drive!

Fifty years ago today, me and my two stalwarts were re-traying packets of plutonium-infested stream samples from the Maralinga tests while we listened, hushed, to the dusty old transistor seven telling the minute-by-minute tale of the CIA and the British conducting their coup. We felt finished.

[through gritted teeth, visibly trembling] I must strive to maintain a sense of whimsy

in the year 2025 we ought to all be trying our very best to cultivate peace inside of our heads, since it's certainly not coming from without. free yourself

F1 stewards gotta be pulling scraps of paper out of a hat at this point, absolutely no sense to their decisionmaking

Finally got around to migrating all the DevBlogs from cohost (rip). Added a new section dedicated to them on the Final Profit website. Lots of juicy insights to digest, such as Mrs. Five's origins as a Nintendo Mii. www.finalprofit.com.au/devblogs/the...

intentionally muddying the water by conflating procedural generation with genAI is turd behaviour!

Tribute to Metroid Prime games, my fave saga. See you dec. 4!!

It's really telling that upper leadership has looked at a literal world-leading level of lqa quality and seen it as a cost center to be automated down rather than something that distinguishes it from the rest of the competition

Because SE's QA people are probably not in a position to defend themselves and their jobs in public, I want to spell out some of what it is they specifically do for us localizers, because nothing I've written here is rhetorical. SE QA acts as a final check on our work after translation and editing.

how lovely you are

same energy as my favourite spam email of all time, which arrived this week

life moves so fast and so often the way the river flows does not feel all that great

today’s “my lobster is too buttery” problem is that the wattlebirds are singing their beautiful lilting springtime songs to each other so insistently that I’m having trouble concentrating on my work

a Metroid Prime 4 trailer dropped two hours ago and not a SINGLE person pinged me to let me know... feeling BETRAYED and OUTRAGED......... repost if you agree

Hugely enjoying Z-A. It's got the sauce. Every character in this is completely deranged or has severe depression

BREAKING: Yesterday Grand Theft Auto VI maker Rockstar Games fired dozens of people, all of whom were involved in union efforts. A British union calls it "blatant and ruthless" union-busting. Take-Two Interactive says it was due to misconduct. Here's the scoop: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
