Nothing brings community together like an AI data center being constructed in their backyard. Hundreds of people packing Pittsburg CA City Hall. Love to see it!

Man, we don't get theater releases like The Furious all that often. It's a really fun action movie worth catching during its, likely very short, theater run.

lmao

Quick and easy to ignore and hide on Steam. Will just continue to play the first on Dreamcast every few years when I get the itch.

Saros fucking rules, damn

I don't want no scrub A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me Hangin' out the passenger side of his best friend's ride Tryin' to holla at me

My kid's last day of school was today. Wild to think that she'll be starting 4th grade later!

Mina's visuals don't translate well to modern displays. Text in particular is SO big on a 27" monitor 2 feet from me, it's hard to read! That being said, it looks great on a small display. I intended to play it across both PC and Steam Deck, but I think it's going to be exclusively handheld now.

Pragmata set out to answer the question of "What if in God of War (2018), Atreus wasn't useless 85% of the time in combat?" and I think it did a pretty good job of that. The near 50/50 split focus between 3rd person shooter and rapidfire basic puzzle solving mid-encounter is really neat!

Was thinking of some little personal projects I could work on just to get the creative juices flowing and came to the decision to convert some of my wife's fanfiction into some bad visual novels with RenPy. It's been very silly and fun to spend an hour here and there on this weekend.

Fuck I hate penalty shootouts

One of my favorite CPS2 titles! It's so pretty!

I paid $399 for my Steam Deck 4 years ago and it gets played near daily. The entry price, with admittedly a nicer screen, is now ~$800. My launch PS5 has appreciated in value over 5 years... AI companies are a blight. We are living in the darkest timeline, not just for games, but for everything.

Talked with someone a few weeks ago who proudly described using Claude to generate a poem apologizing to some coworkers for being late to a meeting. It's one of the saddest things I've ever heard someone say because they themselves could have done that. Like, what are we even doing?

Seeing a lot of glowing reviews for 007: First Light, which should help its chances for winning best indie game of the year.

What a rollercoaster it's been since I started watching Premier League in 2016 and chose Arsenal as my team. What a great Tuesday. Fuck yeah.

The Battle Angel Alita movie kinda whips ass! No idea why I left it sitting on the shelf for so long, it rules

As I look around the industry and see so many friends laid off, I increasingly feel like the only place for me long term is in the indie space as a solo/duo developer (thanks @selphchu.bsky.social for paying the bills!). I just hope I can continue to do good shit in my current role for a long time!

Four 1.5 hour trips into Bakersfield and back in a single week is far too many.

Had my mom on Discord while we watched a WWE ppv, and it was so fucking fun.

I've driven back and forth to Bakersfield more than once this week while staying in the middle of the Mojave. What have I done wrong in life to deserve this hell!? Bakersfield: Where Dreams Go to Die

Vampire Crawlers is a pretty fun little deck builder. Been a good distraction the last couple of days as everything else has been sad times full of stress!

Every few months I get my hopes up and every few months I'm disappointed. Maybe next time.

Just once before I die, I want to work on something as meaningful and wonderful as Opus: Prism Peak. store.steampowered.com/app/1947910/...

Life can be so exhausting some days

⚽Baby game for babies and I hate it.

People clown on Kojima simping for celebrities, but I think it's kind of endearing that he's so outwardly a fan of things and uses his platform to hype stuff up. Like, hell yeah man, post about Godzilla and Margaret Qualley and stuff

I've been hyped for Opus: Prism Peak since it was announced years ago (Opus: Echo of Starsong really hit for me) and it finally comes out tomorrow. Initial reviews dropped today and the game sounds absolutely stellar. I can not wait! store.steampowered.com/app/1947910/...

I couldn't imagine waking up and thinking "I wonder what drink ChatGPT recommends I have today!" Nightmare shit.

Prove You're Human announced (by 1000xResist dev sunset visitor) www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WKL... store.steampowered.com/app/4533950/...

Screamer kicks ass. What an awesome little AA game!

I've really gotta stop waking up and checking the internet first thing in the morning. All it does is make me sad for the rest of the day.

So the entire industry pivoting to making a single game, forever, specifically targeting teenagers, who (mostly) take a break from the hobby as they approach adulthood, and no cohort of teenagers like anything the last cohort liked… You’re telling me that’s not perpetually exponentially profitable?

Man, just beat Banishers and I can't believe I slept on it the last 2 years. Such a strange and lovely game. A slow burn ghost story on the bones of 2018 GoW's exploration and combat is such an unexpected delight. @dontnod.bsky.social knocked it out of the park.

Entering that fun time of year where I get to wake up every day and play "Am I Sick or Is It Allergies!?!?"

I love Slay the Spire 2's placeholder art so much. Quickly put together MS Paint assets are my favorite part of the prototyping phase on projects and using it for Early Access is so incredibly charming.

Slay The Spire 2's co-op is a ton of fun. Double-necro rules (more doom, MORE DOOM!!!)

Holy shit, live wrestling is fun as hell

One of these days I need to get back to GDC, it's been a hot minute (I think my last was 2019). 6 years later, I still blame Covid for derailing stuff!

It will never stop being funny that Kid Rock, by virtue of being the only one willing, has become THEIR guy at all major events

My 8 year old told me that the Taco Bell drive thru AI was creepy and said she wished a real person took our order instead.

The first Silent Hill movie is better than you remember.

Every closeup of James' face in the new Silent Hill movie reminds me of Daniel Jones

Find myself thinking a Kevin Costner double header of The Postman and Waterworld might be a fun 6 hour day

Man, found myself thinking about @untilthengame.com this morning. What a great game, y'all should go play it. store.steampowered.com/app/1574820/...

Up at 5am to watch these hockey finals

Came across an old video of my daughter at 3 years old doing spin kicks and yelling "Spinning Bird Kick" in her bedroom.

Kid and I were both home sick today. We watched Princess Mononoke while laying on the couch. Feel like trash, but that was nice.
