Job offer!! I’m helping a PBS series look for a social media manager/content creator for an upcoming promotional campaign. The start date is ASAP, and a project timeline that currently goes to July. This is for a series on American Muslim history, so candidates with cultural familiarity preferred!

My game SECTOR ZERO just got released on STEAM! 🎉 #indiedev #gamedev

Paranormasight actually getting a sequel is the news of the year for me and the five other people who played the first one and know how much it ruled.

One of the best Earthbound-inspired games I've played. A genuine emotional rollercoaster, well balanced combat, mostly funny, sometimes scary, always surprising. I've word from the developer that the new console stuff will be coming to the PC version eventually, but may take a couple months.

How are you supposed to explain to people how this entire social, political, and economic reality is entirely downstream from anime getting banned on some dipshit's forum 25ish years ago

Happy to have another excuse to write about Final Fantasy 11, which recently broke in the exact right way to force its Games Masters into doing something extremely funny:

Sometimes I think it'd be a good idea for CEOs to be scored, Metacritic-style, based on how others evaluate how they run a company. I like to imagine it would encourage more restraint. Their incompetence does real damage. You shouldn't have to suffer executives just because you want to be a gamedev.

Oh and you don't have to live in NYC!

Rpgmaker.net coming back online is very significant, as a whole generation of 2000s and 2010s indie games was contextless and nearly lost without it. It's wonderful to see it back in action. Hopefully to stay!

I think about this post a lot

Things I learned in the '21 TX freeze: - looser clothing keeps you warmer (sweatpants > yoga pants) - put a sheet OVER your comforter on your bed - drape a sheet around drafty doors, roll a towel on thresholds - keep curtains and blinds closed - use one or two rooms, close up rest of your home

DO NOT PLUG SPACE HEATERS INTO POWER STRIPS DO NOT PLUG SPACE HEATERS INTO POWER STRIPS DO NOT PLUG SPACE HEATERS INTO ANYTHING BUT A GROUNDED, WALL SOCKET

was thinking of quoting that last one with "i hardly know-er vortex" but then this popped into my head and I laughed for 5 minutes

Anyone wondering why no indie has managed a Prince Of Persia, uh this is why, because it's a huge number even today 😭 Like we can tech art our way around some of it, but not all of it. Pretty sure this is why you see so many first person mobility games instead: that cuts the animations way down.

The millennial experience is the total and complete collapse of American competence. A hollowing out of civil rights, constitutional irrelevance, packing of the courts, all while being told we’re too liberal, too woke, too care-mad to be even taken seriously. Fuck republican feelings.

Because everyone could use some good news for a change.

Durante continuing to do the lord's work after all these years making Japanese PC releases shine their finest and often putting AAA releases to shame. You ain't gonna find anyone going above and beyond to ensure a current gen game originally released in 2024 supports GPUs a decade *older* than that.

This seems like a maliciously put headline to make people feel a certain way. Wikipedia is not partaking in generative AI. They are making AI companies and scrappers having to pay for training their modules off wikipedia texts. And having an AI (not that ai) tasked with updating dead links.

Every time I'm only given the option to say "not right now" instead of "no" to a company or service trying to push AI on me, I think of this

Give it up for fire alarm number 2!!!

When you go to protests you’re going to encounter some corny and cringe people you’re not fully aligned with in various ways and I think that’s OK and not something to get Yosemite Sam mad about.
