Well... That sucks.

Totally normal day. Who hasn't had to spin a strange occult glowing sphere that's on fire to match some forbidden harmonic geometry? #gamedev

That feeling when you hit ctrl+x, move your cursor, then accidentally hit ctrl+c, sending your original text into the void. You hit ctrl+v in desperation but it's already gone, you paste nothing.

Kinda glad I never tried being a Roblox Dev

"Hacking a password" using some automated tool that is solving the password one character at a time until it gets the full password.

and that's our first bit of combat animation for You Have Died (And Been Reincarnated As A Fox Girl) done! really pleased with how this came out a little detail i'm proud of is the snake's HP bar dropping smoothly instead of instantly, something i've never added to a game before

Heard great things about The Boroughs and just finished the first episode and wife says "oh, it's already cancelled" 🤬 This is why no one watches new shows on Netflix now. FFS.

Catalyst just released a #Battletech Activity book. I'm seeing a lot of posts about it on Tumblr. The book has a ton of my lineart illustrations; much more than I'm posting here. Always, strange to see work I've completely forgot about. "Ohhhh Yeah...I did do the new Lament lineart."

Look you dumb fucks, give me Billie Piper, a blue box and a modest budget and I will make some fucking good Doctor Who episodes and make money off if for everyone you pointless twats, you heathens, you stock fish.

thinking fondly of Quest For Glory letting you carry your character save across all 5 games in the series

In sum:

Irl stuff: my father is very sick and I don't have money to go see him. I've been struggling mentally and trying to deal with this, but I could use some help if anyone is able. Thank you so much and sorry for asking again. 🖤 ko-fi.com/2dchaos/goal...

Did a photoshoot for a local band for some album art and randomly took this *chef kiss*

Playing Snowrunner and I was a little too confident, took the turn too fast. Hit a rock and... Amazing Recovery! 👏

The complete elimination of Meta would yield unambiguous, far reaching benefits for global society.

Anyways this local Vancouver restaurant called Oishinoya has been ignoring my questions on insta about if they use ai images in their kiosk menu screens sooooo pretty good indicator they do lol So I guess if you care about this sort of thing, and you should, don’t give these losers any of your $

When your friend posts slop, use this in the replies every time. Some day they'll thank you for it.

Lmao sick, I just got laid off from GameSpot while on paid medical leave recovering from a gunshot wound.

This is especially funny when you remember one of the stock anti-communist lines is: "You don't own anything under socialism!" To paraphrase Microslop in their vision for the future of capitalism: you'll own nothing, and you'll like it.

‘No gen AI’ also applies to every aspect of Vampirium: 1997’s marketing. that goes for the stuff you see (trailers, graphics, copy) *and* the stuff you don’t (research, mockups, internal presentations). we WANT to be working on this game, so it’s all us!

The Entertainment Software Association of Canada & Circana have revealed May's best-selling games in Canada. Nice seeing Forza Horizon 6 top the list literally as Xbox is completely gutting its own brand... Outside of that, Batman & 007 did well, as expected. Nice to see Pragmata still there, too.

It's already been delayed 4 Skyrims. I guess it's another 2 Skyrims to go.

this is quite literally the most insane thing i have ever seen moving a game between engines is a setup; this is MS's way of making sure they can lay off the rest of id in two years when they fail to ship a game on a tight schedule that never accounted for an engine swap

This is a good excuse to report the only meme I've ever created that's worth a damn

Out for a nice evening walk.

"Hey if this is your flyer, I’m not going, I’m not donating, I’m not sharing. Don’t ask me."

Proud to announce the next game Vampirium: 1997 Dracula is king of the United British Empire. Kill his enemies and find your own path through a minimalist immersive sim sandbox. Wishlists and retweets massively appreciated (and, you know, massively helpful) store.steampowered.com/app/4035190/...

Oh fang! That looks good.

I really do love making videogames. #gamedev

I once asked a priest to bless a printer that I was in the middle of fighting with and he went "I only bless things when there's a chance it'll take" and then turned and walked out of the room.

"Unemployment and you." 😟

A few years ago I idly asked a coder who I respect whether we were going to hit a missing step problem with the industry, where people laid off or retiring were taking their skills with them when they left. She said no, I believe from the argument that there was still replacements behind them. Welp

It's my wedding anniversary today! It's somehow been 19 years and 3 kids later.

How's that whole "gutting health and food safety" going? Explosive diarrhea, eh? Cool cool cool cool.

Not sure what to say other than keep unionizing. The power imbalance is so skewed there's nothing left but to make it harder to do these things. Make it hurt profits. That's all they care about.
