If I hear one more youtuber sputter out an "I hope I'm pronouncing that right" in reference to an easily searchable foreign name I'm going to start lighting people on fire

i think about this tweet every single day

Found this Resident Evil-ass puzzle contraption at @unileiden.bsky.social last weekend

Stonetop: a fantasy game where the players are adventuring to live instead of to kill. And a game about community instead of individual heroism.

Next Level is out in just three days - some people already have their preorder copies, which is scary and cool! I'm doing a few threads this week about some of the stuff I cover in the book, today let me tell you about two very special games. (Pre/order it here: linktr.ee/next_level)

The name "s&box" is quite "clever", but I predict it's going to take me a long while before I won't be reading it as "es and box".

"I only use AI for the concept art and prototyping" OH, so only the most basic and fundamental parts, the parts that will literally determine the direction of everything else, just THOSE parts, cool, gotcha

Happy Fedora Linux 44 release day to those who celebrate fedoramagazine.org/announcing-f...

I choose to believe this is how most 90s arcade race tracks were initially conceived #gaming #retrogaming #arcade

40 years ago, a combination of design and human errors caused reactor no.4 at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine to explode. It remains the worst nuclear accident in history. This first photo by Igor Kostin is foggy due to the high radioactivity from the open and burning reactor core.

Shoutout to the coolest nightclub in all of videogames: Club Hölle from Hitman 3 www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0pC... I have been told the it’s quite an accurate representation of a German techno club. I wouldn’t know, I hate going nightclub experience IRL.

One more ping for this? Why not. I wrote about DLSS 5 for RPS, what it means for us to live in a world without graphics rendering and how easy it might be for us to lose control of the games industry: www.rockpapershotgun.com/with-dlss-5-...

Man it sucks to be an AI researcher in a time where the concept of AI has been poisoned by billionaires seeking to destroy livelihoods in the name of more wealth capture.

I finally started my Elite Dangerous space trucking career! Playing Death Stranding a few years back taught me I quite like the meditative experience of long-distance cargo delivery. Just with the occasional difficulty spike to keep things exciting.

Who’s this guy? The Bob Ross of synth music? Whoah

Sure the contraption that got us to the moon was cool but have you seen

In 1953 Iran had a functioning democracy. A free press. Seven political parties. Women in universities. Women granted voting rights in municipal councils in 1952. A secular prime minister named Mosaddegh who believed Iran's oil belonged to Iran. The US and Britain decided he had to go.

Can't wait! ♟💎✋

Just remember: 1. as long as there are people, they'll always want to play 2. as long as imagination and critical thinking continue to operate, we can devise an infinite number of ways to play Everything else is just clutter on the road and the question of the current system's sustainability.

I don’t think watching someone factory-reset an IoT lightbulb can get any more exciting than this. Seriously.

I'm playing Final Fantasy X-2 right now and I feel this frame encapsulates what the whole Final Fantasy franchise is all about: attractive characters in weird outfits and funny little guys

I haven't seen a video by @jimtrinca.bsky.social since he was at Videogamer many years ago. And he still got it. 👌 www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7i5...

Outright delusional

Incredible how a specific brand of smart people can be this dumb sometimes. You don't hate social commentary - you hate social commentary that doesn't conform to your own, and you're normative enough that you don't have to worry about reminding people you are human. gizmodo.com/andy-weir-st...

Layoffs are not just “how the industry is going” They happen because pieces of shit who care only about themselves are put in positions of power Pieces of shit who have ruined this industry Never forget what these people have done. This industry is devastated, and their bank accounts are bulging

This sounds true to me. When I (a millennial from The Netherlands) was playing around with an Amiga ST at The Centre for Computing History in Cambridge in 2023, multiple of these guys came up to me and unprompted started talking about their favourite games.

"We used the baked solutions and lit her like a movie actor - essentially, as if [Alyx] had a custom lighting rig that followed her around and ensured she always looked good. But it didn't really work." — Ken Birdwell, Half-Life 2 developer commentary (2024)

this one hurts the most

I don't think it's a coincidence that this got announced within months of twitter letting grok remove people's clothes and otherwise sexualize them. tech companies have become enamored with the idea of users personalizing everything, heedless of original intent or potential harm

Vandaag mijn stappendoel gehaald door racistisch kutstickers van lantaarnpalen in mijn straat te peuteren 😡
