I’m a pointless human being with no insight worth a damn. I’m a fraud with no history to speak of other than several chances I wasted and mistakes I’ve made. My only saving grace is that I’m trying my best, and I doubt I’m even doing that anymore. Douglas, my cat, doesn’t care about any of that.

TIL that Flotsam - a game whose art style I'm obsessed with and had followed for a while back on X - recently had it's 1.0 release and I'm very excited to finally play it!! store.steampowered.com/app/821250/F...

A great deep dive on RE4's translation, and the conclusion that... very little was changed in tone or meaning from Japanese. All it takes is one weird nerd starting a rumor of 'bad localization' to get Reddit riled up, but it takes this kind of borderline-obsessive comparison to disprove anything.

“Poor people have a right to art!” They sure do. So get to it.

Hey instead of watching the crushing hellscape that is The Game Awards you should watch my trailer and wishlist my cool indie game that isn't there instead

It's Mari Lwyd season

“I have a frozen cum dice” - @thepotatocat.bsky.social upon opening this absolute belter of a D6 in their advent calendar.

RIP Jim Ward.

Background + sprite animation (the ship is now pre-rendered) and... tunnels ! I think I can add more gameplay elements and stay at 30fps, there is hope, the megadrive is a beast :o

tis the season

Evening reminder in case it was also 7am for you when we released the game: 🪱🪱🪱🪱Wirm is out now!!!🪱🪱🪱🪱 Please check it out and leave a review if you can. They really help! store.steampowered.com/app/1934870/...

Oh hey, it was the 30th anniversary of the release of Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness yesterday! It's an important milestone game, especially for the further popularisation of RTS games and for mid-90s PC multiplayer gaming. I have a lot of love for Warcraft II, mostly from the PS1 version.

I've only been on this Cyberpunk journey for 2 years--but it's been a hell of a ride with an amazing team. I can't wait for what comes next 💥🦾✨️

I’m in two minds over the Battlefield winter event. It’s apparent a lot of work has gone into it from new mechanics design through to ample environment and sound work. It’s good fun and should be applauded. But it does feel that doing this on two infantry only maps misses the point of BF a bit.

HAPPY UNBEATABLE RELEASE DAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE nothing but love and excitement for everyone at @dcellgames.com today!! go play Unbeatable!!!!!! store.steampowered.com/app/2240620/...

I need to test my new encoding settings and Star Citizen is stable so my wonderful wife @thepotatocat.bsky.social and myself are going to do some bounty hunting together! Come watch us die (a lot) on twitch.tv/MooseAndTato

Oh, wow, apparently the third Quake Brutalist Jam got over SIXTY maps submitted. And one of them is a three-hour-long monster. And there's some other beefy ones in there too. For comparison, the original Quake was 30 maps long and none were especially big. Easily the biggest community project yet.

the way that ai is being advertised now is that everyone has to pretend to be incompetent and incredibly incapable and useless at everything

Guys, do not use the Discord Checkpoint thing (Discord's attempt at Spotify Wrapped). It requires enabling them access to scrape your data, and has an alarming amount of private data being used for it. Make sure you have these disabled.

Cats!!!???

It's not just that the output is fucked, the premise of teaching a child to prompt a book cover design instead of making it with their owns hands is so sad.

I wrote this huge, 3,000-word or so deep dive into the state of game actors’ contracts in the UK, which is a hot mess of exploitation, AI clauses and chaotic rate calculations. And no one read it. But you really, REALLY should. www.gamesindustry.biz/contracts-fo...

My wife got me the U.S.S Enterprise NCC-1701-D Lego set and I am astounded. So is Douglas, who took all of 10 seconds to find the packing box.

reminder: It is illegal to use a device like the Allmiibo ($12) to skirt around the $30 greed of a $4b company UNLESS of course you own every Amiibo and manually scanned them into the Allmiibo (after wiping it because it comes preloaded with all of them) you should never do this

✨Today is Bandcamp friday! Best day to support your fav artists on the platform 😇 bibikigarcia.bandcamp.com/album/arco-o...

Bandcamp Friday is here again. All earnings go straight to the artists. A little reminder to grab music you love and enjoy the best quality. And I’ll just casually leave my link here 🤣 isidorbobinec.bandcamp.com/album/stella...

Wild(ly frustrating) time to be alive when the industry is lamenting difficulty getting vis/retaining players but only putting money into growth and performance marketing, gimmicks, AI etc knowing that everyone is sick of ads and craving authenticity, connection and quality experiences

Looking forward to a new DC Comics series that gets canned one season in because it didn’t print Stranger Things money.

Cruelty is anhedonic. It rarely delivers the euphoria promised because, in the abstract, what feels righteous and joyful inevitably reveals itself to be sordid and small. Then it's "No not like that". "No not enough". "No the real battle, the forever war to make this feel good starts now". Forever.

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

An easy way to explain luddites: Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand. And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before. That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.

bit more! needs more work still but it's coming together slowly
