weird thing about Skate is just how much lore there is that attempts to justify and explain a gameplay premise that is essentially just "do some skateboard tricks around a city", only for most of that lore to nullify itself with "it's science don't think about it"

I have learned how to do The Trick in Skate and I am having SO MUCH FUN

Canada, Australia, the U.K. and France have finally -- conditionally -- joined the many other nations who recognize the State of Palestine. But today, Prime Minister Mark Carney also once again called for a “Zionist Palestine.” Here's what's going on:

Uh oh space mushrooms! #SKRUBSquad

As a game inspired by Treasure games, Candy Rangers takes cues from Sin and Punishment's attention splitting mechanics, making you manage a team of characters while they're split apart #candyrangers

Honestly it's crazy how much a time saver this tool has been I spent roughly 6 hours today building a level, and adding the mess into it took me exactly two minutes to do 😭

I'm struggling to pay the bills so if you need a pixel artist/3d modeler/rigger in the near future please let me know! Models start at $99. RTs are welcome. Portfolio: 2dchaos.com #gamedev #3dart #lowpoly

reminder that Disney+ has still been on the Palestinian BDS boycott list for over a year. You should continue the pressure and continue withholding your money from them.

This asset pack I'm using is giving away its continent of origin by labelling an asset "American Football"

Not a panacea but @notgdc.io // notgdc.io exists and is nice. #notGDC

I feel like anything about GDC 'rebranding/reinventing' itself cannot earnestly be discussed without addressing it continuing to be held in a country with a fascist regime that is indiscriminately targeting, jailing and disappearing foreigners. Seriously, I don't think anything else really matters?

Heyyy sorry weird question... but is your friend axarinyg?

Is there anything worse than reading an article that is weirdly biased only to find out it was written by someone with a vested interest in selling you something? Like wasting five minutes reading the world's longest ad.

This being said please buy my games and leave a review because money is an unfortunate necessity store.steampowered.com/curator/4517...

It really is crazy how much better video games would be if remote work was the norm. Like, applicants from everywhere would actually be viable and there'd be so many more skilled and diverse hires than we currently have. Our industry loooooves shooting itself in the foot.

OK game's good

Me: "Maybe I'll try Skate for a bit today, I heard good things :)" The Skate demo:

"Unable to speak English, this petite 75-year-old Korean man was thrown into the American criminal justice system to fend for himself. ... I do not remember how it happened, but I jokingly started calling him my ggangpae ahbuhjee, which literally translates to 'gangster father' in Hangul."

It'd have been more helpful if the West recognized the very obvious and uncontestable genocide, instead of recognizing Palestine just long enough for Israel to massacre it completely.

I'm designing some merch! Which of these sticker designs would you be most likely to buy and/or which do you like the most as a consumer? :3c

More work on the halftone shader! Now I'm doing two fullscreen passes for both a dark and a mid halftone. I also found the halftone too distracting when applied to large flat surfaces like walls during gameplay, so I implemented surface normal checks so they don't appear on them anymore #SKRUBSquad

About a week ago I adjusted the scale and camera height of my player controller because I noticed they weren't fitting through some common doorways I had yet to test it in multiplayer so...imagine my surprise when I discovered that players are now half the size of the lobby NPCs 😆 #SKRUBSquad

[Hulk Hogan voice] hell yeah brother

Here is a okayish Backgrounder from CNN: edition.cnn.com/2025/09/19/a...

Large anti corruption protests in the Philippines are underway. Triggered by deadly floods which exposed $2billion lost to corruption in flood defence projects some of which didn't exist at all. www.rappler.com/philippines/... And a familiar flag is being flown at the protests.

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable. This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed. From me for @rollingstone.com: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Holy moly. The UK, Canada, Australia have just done the right thing and recognized the Palestinian state. This should have happened ages ago.

Only good policy decision this guy has made to-date

Australia recognizes the State of Palestine

I feel like tech has a profound inability to see speculative fiction as a silly little rhetorical "can you imagine if this interesting/weird/horrible invention existed", and instead views it as "well I guess we NEED to invent this thing now no matter the cost"

My weekly must-reads list and my thoughts on witnessing care and courage amid clouds of tear gas Friday night. "Almost 550 people across Chicagoland have been arrested by ICE during Operation Midway Blitz. It is a campaign of terror focused on a city that our president feels profound contempt for."

I'm incredibly ecstatic that we reached $100,000 for the Play for Peace: Games for Palestine charity bundle. With just 2 days left to go, please RT and support the bundle, and let's push it as high as we can go!!! Thank you for the support!! Link: itch.io/b/2979/play-...

Partner and I went garage sale-ing today and bought what we thought was a couple of crappy $2 game controllers (mostly for me to take apart). Turns out it was actually a Chinese emulator box called Game Stick with like 20k games on it so uhhh I think that it was totally worth it?

Where is his condemnation of the endless amount of harassment Erika Ishii has received because they're playing the main character in Yotei?

A goal I have for 2026 is I want to start tabling at markets, so I've started my zine making arc this evening! Already converted Runt TTRPG into a zine-friendly format, and started doing rough design + layouts for a photography one I'd like to publish.

Were they “just following orders” or something?

My indie game has over 100 million unique combinations of spells you can create i only use this freedom to make weird stuff #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev

its so nuts to contemplate that many places will employ folks who are at the top of their game at problem solving and then actively give them no resources to solve those problems lol what a Greek tragedy. like torture

CW: protester being struck in the head by a pepper ball Footage I took earlier of the moment Reverend David Black, a regular protester outside of the Broadview Detention Center, was shot in the head with a pepper ball by ICE agents on the roof of the facility.

Like it's still fascism if they suck at it
