These days artists are expected to be thick-skinned, circumspect, non-reactive, non-political, non-controversial and completely inoffensive. And also sales people, promoters, etc. when many of us have massive anxiety issues and self-doubts. There's not much room left to be just fallibly human...

i feel like it's not talked enough about that in order for there to be a cyberpunk, there necessarily needs to be a like, cyber fascism that exists for a meaningful time for our lovable punks to rebel against. and i'm worried that we're rapidly approaching cyber fascism

Would really appreciate people re-sharing and whishlisting our game, as indie devs with zero budget, spreading the word and getting our wishlist numbers up will be a massive help. Thanks in advance to anyone who has done so.

They are ready....... Follow @machinefun.bsky.social for info on how to enter a giveaway and maybe win a premium model of a Kuji-sama 500!

With all the UKGE AI stuff going round: if you are vending this year and would like a free NO AI used sign for your table, email me (link in bio) so I can vet and add you to the list for one. Lets make these lazy grifters real uncomfortable.

Hans Zimmer is possibly my favourite composer of all time. I think it's important that we sep- Nah. No. Fuck 'im. Trans rights are human rights.

would like to have a wee little word with all the people who said everyone was overreacting to the california OS age signal legislation

A reminder that you would be required to hand over your ID to the following OS providers: -Your computer -Your phone -Your car -Your farm equipment -Your bank/ATM -Your game systems -Your work hardware -Your purpose built electronics -Your fucking high end calculator The list goes on

"This Extreme Gear is very much just an electrical power cell with a deck on top. It boast extreme acceleration and speed but no natural turning ability." I'm trying out making custom Extreme Gears a la Sonic Riders! #3dart #retro #lowpoly

A quick heads up; The UK government is currently holding a consultation on the Online Safety Act. The consultation lasts until the end of next month. Please fill it out if you live in the UK and/or share it around to get more eyes on it. www.gov.uk/government/c...

The main thing you need as a writer is commitment to the bit. Whatever your bit is, hone it against your very bones until it’s sharp enough to cut the eyes of those who dare to look upon it. That’s what readers want.

Fuck you. My art of "Princess" Fludd in a cute widdle dress from 2020.

Doxxing is wrong. It puts people at risk and crosses serious boundaries. Supporting those who do it is just as wrong, because it normalizes harm. I don't know about you, but I don’t want to be associated with people who think exposing others’ private information is acceptable.

Mind you still super self conscious about my progress in these 10+ last years

little teaser for my next ensemble piece/print 🎮

Instead of censoring the internet and giving away our identities to third parties, maaaaybe start building proper websites for kids again instead of making them have no other choice but to be on social media. 🧵

So hey I just had to pay a bunch of self-employed indie author taxes and uhhhh if you're looking to buy some widely-enjoyed books about super gay magical girls having adventures in Portland, and suggest to your friends to do the same, it would help me out a bunch 😅😅😅😅😅 magicariot.com/buy

i had really no idea how to approach a staryu pokehuman but this is what i ended up with haha

A key component of worldbuilding that amateur media critics don't understand is that just because something is patently ridiculous or full of obvious problems does NOT mean it's impossible, or even unlikely to happen. Our world had Juicero; there is no reason a fictional one would be any different.

Here's even more reason to: www.gamespot.com/articles/squ...

Breath of Fire 4 (PS1) ❤️

Think of how many games where the verb is violence. How many games (including the ones nominated for tonight’s BAFTA awards) where you shoot, fight, kill. But when games want to explore the topic of violence in a meaningful way, that’s the issue?

Big fan of the soundtrack, especially the main theme!

PLEASE HELP ‼️ K & their dawgter are facing eviction proceedings at the end of the month 🚨 K works so hard & is in desperate need of survival funds but dosent get *nearly* enough traction towards keeping a roof over their head. can anyone with more reach help get eyes on their urgent need? 💕💸🏳️‍⚧️

"They said they wouldn't pay me and would use AI instead if I didn't give them a lower price" They're bluffing. They already tried AI and it didn't work so they're contacting you. No one goes "I'll pay you or do the free one" they just do the free one, see that it's crap, and do the paid one.

pokemiku for a stamp rally

As easily as you have sworn off Harry Potter pish, you can stop buying games from Microsoft or Microsoft owned studios. This is such a small ask and low bar to clear, there are thousands of other games available at any moment, but the impact can be huge.

LIVE WITH TUNIC!!! AND SOUP IS HERE IRL NEXT TO ME WOW :))) m.twitch.tv/candaru?desk...

But this, of course, is not "violence." But if one of the workers decided to vandalize or sabotage the machinery to force it to stop, now THAT would be violence.

My wife broke the metatarsal that connects to her pinky toe and we are uninsured. I'm trying to get the money together to visit an orthopedic specialist (and lyft rides) -- so I'm having a flash sale of my most BONE-CRUSHING games. (appreciate any support and reposts!)

I need to stress again that requiring ID for age verification is technically unnecessary, and yet more evidence that the point of these laws is to end anonymity on the internet, not to protect children.

"why are they doing this?" To kill open source ventures like Linux distros because the cost of adhering to this law is too much to expect these projects to pay and maintain, forcing everyone to use windows and train their AI/farm metadata They'll say it's for protecting kids or something tho

You Do Not Hate Congress Enough

Happy Pride Month! I'm going to take this opportunity to compile a list of games with LGBTQ+ themes or characters. I'm going to try to stick with the lesser-known ones to give them visibility. 1/5🧵

Surfside Resort (Ridge Racer 6, 360, Namco, 2005)

As Bluesky was down so much yesterday, am resharing in case people would like to read this piece.

Everyone understands why it'd be a supremely stupid idea to force puzzle games to adapt to widescreen monitors, yet few ever stop & think that maybe this applies to other 2D genres where players interact with the edges in some meaningful way

The fact that "being taxed on a wealth that would take most people dozens of generations to gather" is "the scariest thing she's ever seen" means the world isn't scaring millionaires and billionaires nearly enough yet.
