Stumbled upon Une vie a t'aimer while digging through Expedition 33's files in search of some other audio, so that's gonna be playing in my head again for the foreseeable future.

It's my birthday, so it would be super cool if you share/read my webcomic! It's got little queer people inside, only 17 pages so FAR. Maybe leave a nice comment if you're so inclined. ❤️ ⭐ schism.org/01-000-01/ #art #comic #webcomic #SchismComic

working on a new blog post all about little inconsequential details in games, and how much I love them.

new Iron Banner armor goes hard.

It is fucked up what they did to the headphone jack

Asher Mir. Claire in Unwound Future. The Alice Wake fakeout in AW2— while it had me I was in total shock. And then the big one in a certain 2025 title left me with an uneasiness in the pit of my stomach that didn’t go away for a *long* stretch of that game. Could argue I’m still not over it.

Here is some non-satire for you: Trans rights forever.

"Stasis Shard creation no longer has a cooldown in PvE." whoever at bungie is responsible for this I owe you my life

"Political violence" is a term that exists to suggest a moral distinction between "violence against politicians" and "violence by politicians" - so that one can be condemned while the other can be normalized. Obviously, no such distinction exists in reality: violence is violence.

I’ve gotten to the bit of Death Stranding where you can place zip lines and there really is nothing more satisfying than placing ones in the perfect position and zipping around the map in record time.

Everything about D2 Renegades looks great except for the parts where I can see the star wars influence.

If a game me wants to play it on NG+ to see the true ending, it better be as good as Alan Wake 2. Or at least include a musical section in the middle.

This “solo dev” and “only 3 devs” rhetoric is getting truly dangerously out of hand. Investors see this and think “I only have to pay 3 people” and the result is severely overworked and/or underpaid people and a subpar product. We need to stop treating outsourcers and contractors like ghosts.

Got accepted as a volunteer for a local game jam :D The game dev scene is still basically nonexistent in albania so I’m super excited to be part of any initiative that helps it grow.

gaze upon my worldbuilding documents and weep.

It's been a while. Glad to be announcing a new game, and happy that it is something experimental and weird: a tiny, tense, turn-based strategy game about merging units into spectacular combinations, and then watching them evaporate thousands of bugs. store.steampowered.com/app/2396130/...

I'm working on a tool for Destiny 2 buildcrafting with a friend and every day I learn something new about the API that leaves me baffled.

Could programmers from the 80's understand today's code? Could todays programmers understand code from the 80's? My brother, I don't understand my own code from last week. Every line I write is a bespoke bit of spontaneous genius that even I am incapable of deciphering mere days after writing it.

Artists feel pressured to make new art too quickly at the moment. Normalise artists fucking disappearing for months. Just walk off into the woods for a year and come back with a single sketch. It’s good for you

My one wish for this year of D2 is for Lodi to meet Eris Morn so they can talk pineapples.

Probably Neon Genesis Evangelion, though to be fair, there's not much that would make you think that in the published pages. Later on the story will really start deconstructing some pokemon worldbuilding and nuzlocke comic tropes though :p

"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

Nothing makes me miss Linux more than having to work with XAMPP in windows 10, if only for the ease of slapping sudo onto any command

Friendship ended with Ferrari and Red Bull now Cadillac F1 racing team is my new best friend

Tiny desk but it’s video game music. I want it.

LRT: OFF is easily one of the best games ever made and if you haven't played it: 1) what are you waiting for 2) play the 2008 version afterwards or at least listen to the OG soundtrack

OFF is now available digitally on Nintendo Switch and Steam! Launch Trailer on YouTube: youtu.be/OcPOkexZkHA For more information, visit the official website: offtherpg.com

It’s depressing the amount of job listings I see that just want prompt engineers instead of actual developers. I promise you all of that code copy-pasted into an IDE without understanding what it does or why it was spat out is a disaster waiting to happen.

I dont "NETWORK", I do not "keep a consistent schedule", I don't try to make my art "stand out" on people's feeds. I POST MY ART. And if it flops, I DON'T CARE.

Got the bug to design a one-page ttrpg to practice some concepts I'm learning in a game design course, and it took all of a couple of hours for it to blow past that page limit. At some point future me is going to have to trim it back down to no more than 5-ish.

Tank: Dark Knight (big sword!!!) Melee: Dragoon (my first job and still my main and overall favorite) Caster: Red Mage (I love my 6 step combo about casting progressively larger explosions) Ranged: Dancer (the only one I’ve tried) Healer: Sage (nouliths cool)

4pm. Stepped outside into weather that can only be described as the blast of hot air when you open the oven.

Keep thinking about how well Edge of Fate packed emotional gut punches into single lines. When Lodi says he’d accepting burning if it meant no one else had to. When IX says it always enjoyed warming our armor. Most of the things IX says, really. The patio in July. Ah, it hurts so good.

You will always be with your family on a patio in July #destiny2 #lodi

Thinking of starting up recruitment for my Destiny 2 clan again since a lot of people quit after Final Shape and it’s getting kind of quiet in there. Open to anyone who enjoys or wants to learn endgame PVE (even complete beginners!), and is willing to be active in our discord. DM for an invite :D

Bear with me as I try to get better about self promotion and repost this a few more times. It’s the first bit of writing about game design I’ve put out there and I’m pretty proud of it :D

Finally finished the Edge of Fate campaign

A while back I posted a homebrew artificer subclass for #DnD mainly inspired by Clair Obsur: Expedition 33, with a little bit of Bloodborne sprinkled in. Now, as the very first post on my site, I'm breaking down how I went about designing it. incomescrane.com/chromamancer...

got a certain finnish actor on the brain today

Picked up a single FF MTG pack on a whim and somehow ended up pulling my favorite character in the whole franchise :D Now I feel compelled to learn how to play the game lol

Bungie dropped their Lodi playlist and it got me curious, do y’all have a song you really associate with your guardian? Drop them below, bonus points if you wanna share some of their lore 👀 I’ll start off with one from my warlock’s playlist: open.spotify.com/track/4CBRme...

After so much time wondering about the Nine and their esoteric lore it's really funny hearing some of them speak and they're just like, extremely casual about everything. The Sun is out here basically flirting with Lodi. It's peak.

It's time to enter the mansion. Dead Take is out now. Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3352690/... Epic Games Store: store.epicgames.com/p/dead-take-...
