Here's a peek at (another) thing I'm working on.

The problem with video games nowadays is they're not about a funny little guy collecting shiny things anymore. Video games are supposed to be about a funny little guy collecting shiny things.

Bad Apple but it's Sin City

I hate that every online community is based around Discord now. "Join our Discord!" And then you join and it's either mostly dead, moves too fast to follow, or a handful of regular users who only reply to each other. No matter what, you wind up getting ignored.

I'm shocked at how many people I thought were more intelligent reacting to this obviously fake rumor like it's confirmed. It's 11 months away. It's still being made. It doesn't have a runtime yet. The source is some random rumor site nobody's heard of. Don't believe random shit you see online.

I did flipbooks for all of the Animorphs covers I did, but they appeared in black and white and very small, so I am posting them here so you can see them large and in color. No AI here--just Elastic Reality and painting. You can buy a signed print of this cover here: www.etsy.com/listing/798775628

Three completely different puzzle games with completely different mechanics, battling against each other and sending garbage back and forth. I don't know if there's actually any interest in something like this. Most people seem to just find it confusing and frustrating. But it's been neat to make.

Damn I wish Bettel was on here so I could tag him

These fuckers have been yapping about "protecting civilized society" for years, but their idea of civilized society is some uncivilized medieval bullshit. A king with no accountability, invading countries to steal their resources, king's men who can execute you on the spot if you disobey them.

I think I found the missing ingredient: a second button that rotates blocks. Speeds up the game considerably, and avoids scenarios where you can't really find a match.

Okay, here we go. You have to connect all 4 sides to start the destruction, but once it starts it'll ripple through any blocks that are connected to the group with one side. I think this works well.

Another puzzle game prototype. This one a twist on a Panel de Pon sort of thing. Instead of matching whole blocks, each side has a pattern. Match all sides to destroy a block and the 4 it matched with. Neat idea, but might be a bit too complex. I'll see if I can tweak some stuff to make it work.

The lesson Dems should've taken from Zohran's win was "Listen to what your constituents are concerned about and build your messaging around what you can do about it" but instead their takeaway was "Just keep saying 'affordability,' it's basically a cheat code"

It's funny that the original Kaizo hack was made by a guy intentionally trying to make something basically unplayable to troll his friend, and an entire community not only figured out how to play it, but loved it and demanded more

A touching tribute to Mike F

Sony's obsession with players getting stuck is so bizarre. PS5 has the game help thing built in, all their games have a sidekick telling you puzzle solutions before you even have a chance to think, there was that patent for like a controller that tells you which button to push, now this.

Mario Wonder was great, but I hope the next 2D Mario adds a new move or two to Mario's base moveset. They used to do this in nearly every entry: 2 - literally a different game 3 - P-speed, sliding, carrying shells, and more World - spin jump NSMB - a bunch of his 3D moves NSMB Wii - air twirl

A complaint about Tears of the Kingdom that I never understood is that you can find the flashbacks in any order. Because I actually liked that! I love nonlinear storytelling. Stuff like Lost, Kill Bill, Memento, and Metroid Prime were hugely influential to me.

this was when i completed leo only for it to explode a second later 🥲

Somehow I never reposted my Magnum Opus: Average Day For Pit

Where does Bettel find all these bozos to collab with

Okay, here's this system actually working. Make loops to drop garbage bubbles, pop bubbles to drop garbage blocks. Obviously will require some balancing, but I've got ideas for that.

Had an idea, prototyped it real quick, I think this could be cool. Basically, I can have multiple puzzle games battling each other. This Suika-like will be able to battle the Tetris-like I've been working on, and others. You choose your puzzle game like choosing a character in a fighting game.

I just want evil people to be held accountable I'm so tired of watching the rich and powerful ruin lives and kill people, knowing that they're gonna get away with it, that nobody who can do anything about it will A society without justice cannot function

WOW!!!!!!!

Had an idea to do one of those Smash Bros moveset concept videos for Tinkaton, but every single move is Gigaton Hammer. Normals, specials, taunts, everything. I just keep playing the exact same 10 second clip describing how the move works.

Skyrim and New Vegas are fascinating, because any other AAA game that's 1% as buggy as them will be subject to volcanic levels of Online Gamer Rage, but somehow they not only avoid it, but are hailed as glorious godly masterpieces where the bugs are just part of the experience.

Alright, this one's gotta be my year, when I finally stop being worthless garbage. I only have 2 years left before it's too late.

What was your biggest impact on the internet? I made a hololive fangame that went mildly viral in 2021. This helped inspire a whole community of hololive fangame devs, several of which went on to be much bigger than mine.

Sometimes I think about this Marisa

There's a sizable category of indie games that are basically just, "Nintendo made a game that altered my brain chemistry as a kid, then decided they didn't feel like making more games like that, so here's my legally distinct version." And I feel like that says a lot about the company, good and bad.

Was reading about the Three Stooges and were these guys cursed? Curly dies of a sudden tragic illness, they bring back Shemp. Shemp dies of a sudden tragic illness, they get a new guy. Larry dies of a sudden tragic illness, then Moe dies of a sudden tragic illness while looking for a new guy.

I would get more engagement if I went back to Twitter. I used to regularly get >1k likes there, here I rarely get 100. Usually <10. But bsky isn't full of nazis who pay to boost their nazi bile to the top of every post's replies, so I'm staying here.
