I REALLY hate to say this, but after seeing how every other handheld console/PC is either exorbitantly expensive or running on years-old hardware, I have to grudgingly admit that the Switch 2 is competitively priced. Don't get too smug, Ninty; this is more slagging the industry than praising you.

My hype kinda deflated somewhat from this footage. The graphics, animation, and sounds all feel so lackluster. This honestly feels more like a student project than a retail game.

I already wanted nothing to do with the nakedly corrupt US admin, but DHS using POKEMON of all things as promotional material exponentially increased the "do not want" factor. Nintendo's legal team needs to do some good for once and clap these sorry SOBs in our government.

Working on a new boss enemy for Fury's Sky: Vagabond! This is one of a quartet of powerful Arator enemies known as the Guardians, who keep a seal to the Arator domain. This one is called "Knight." #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiegame #videogame #doom #doom1993

The "are you a boy or a girl" question at the beginning of Pokemon games hits different now that the trans rights movement is rising to prominence. It makes me wonder if the Professor was trying to respect the player's pronouns and gender this whole time...

Profound wisdom explained through cartoon geese? I dig it.

If Sam Altman and Mark Zuckerberg, two of the biggest players in AI, are saying that there is a reasonable possibility that AI is in a bubble about to burst, then they should be taken seriously. Any sort of AI hype is becoming increasingly difficult to justify.

Hey! Would you look at that! Disney caved on canning Jimmy Kimmel! Nice to see that giving companies a financial bloody nose still works. Good stuff, everyone! So happy for Jimmy.

In today's dumb #gamedev features, I added a "relative throttle" option to Vagabond that allows for HOTAS joysticks to have a throttle range. Granted, the user will have to adjust sensitivity for their given throttle, because GZDoom, but it's still pretty cool. #gamedevelopment #programming

I was playing Halo MCC, and while the games are good, the fanbase REALLY has a bad case of nostalgia. There are loads of issues with classic Halo. Weak sound design, poor feedback on weapons, poor weapon balance, some awkward control choices (like with abilities in Reach), and janky animation.

I swear, Nintendo putting Virtual Boy games on Switch Online is like Ford bringing back the Pinto.

So let me get this straight. DHS can detain duly elected officials for...doing their jobs. Is that right? Do I understand that correctly?

Randy Pitchford is something else, I tell you what. I feel sorry for all the Borderlands devs that have their studio headed by such an egotistical buffoon.

Beyond Sunset is a retro-futuristic cyberpunk FPS with light RPG elements and a Vangelis-style soundtrack. Built in GZDoom (because we hate ourselves). Have as much fun playing it as we did making it! Available now on Steam and GOG, DRM-free. Steam: s.team/a/1665260 GOG: www.gog.com/en/game/beyo...

I am a card-carrying Nintendo fan. I love their games and think they're fun. Which is why I think they absolutely deserve to get dunked on, whether it's prices, patents, or bringing back the Virtual Boy. I wanna see the fun side of Nintendo, not the bumbling idiot side with rabid lawyers.

I just dropped a new update for Fury's Sky: Vagabond, my #doom flight #videogame! It contains a new level, the Sentinel boss fight, and various fixes and tweaks! Check it out on ModDB! #gamedev #indiegame #gamedevelopment

That Nintendo Direct sure was long, meaty, and bursting with hot stuff.

Regarding the Monster Hunter Stories 3 info... ...Plesioth, hipcheck his balls!

Regarding the Metroid Prime 4 info... ...BOUNTY HUNTERS ON MOTORCYCLES!!!!

If a bowling alley in Istanbul serves poultry, then there is a nonzero chance you can bowl a turkey while eating a turkey in Turkey.

Kirk the Jerk has apparently turned the point of no return. Good.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

I don't know who needs to hear this, but just because a game has a reputation for being hard doesn't mean that complaints about the game being unfair are invalid. As rooted in challenge as games are, difficulty can be a detriment if it annoys too much. Looking at you, Silksong!

As odd as this sounds coming from someone who enjoys hard games, I feel Silksong crosses the line into annoyingly difficult. You're much squishier than in a typical Metroidvania and dying can get you blown back pretty far. And the on-tap heal isn't available all that often. I get the frustration.

"AI is the future!" No. The future was projected to be flying cars, robot maids, and cities in the sky at one point. Instead we got hallucinating chatbots, fragmented media streaming, and overpriced eggs. People say all kinds of things about the future. That does not make any of it accurate.

Attacking a person for what they do is called "satire." Attacking a person for what they are is called "bigotry."

Nothing like a last minute bug to ruin my Vagabond release plans. Sorry guys. Gonna need a bit longer...

Knowledge is knowing that UDP stands for User Datagram Protocol. Wisdom is realizing it can also stand for Unceasing Data Puke.

I'm playing Hollow Knight: Silksong and I've only known the Bell Beast for a short while, but I would commit murder to anyone who brought harm to it. Bell Beast is so stinking cute.

This dude seriously needs to go to Walgreens and get some Preparation H; I haven't seen an asshole this sore since I ate those jalapeno poppers with adobo sauce.

If you think the things I post are bad, you should see the posts I delete. I may be a loudmouth, but even I have standards. Sometimes.

Your butt is a 3D printer for turds.

When testing out a flyable plane in Vagabond, I found a potential bit of emergent gameplay. This plane has a push field that blows projectiles away when used. If a plane has its rate of fire maxed out, it drops mines. Using the field with max ROF launches the mines forward. Potential fun? Maybe.

A trans person walks into a bar, and no one else there thinks anything of it and just goes about their business while this person goes and orders a drink.

A lemon is an artificial hybrid between an orange and a citron. Ergo, life never gave us lemons; we made the lemons ourselves.

I would like the Epstein files like a state park. PUBLIC.

You could give a detailed and irrefutable psychoanalysis of Donald Trump and I'd still wonder why the fuck he behaves the way he does because holy shit dude is a Saturday morning cartoon villain made flesh.

I appreciate Silksong not because I personally am interested in the game (I didn't play the first Hollow Knight all that much) but because it managed to get so many people from all different walks of life to be happy about something. In times like this, that excitement means a lot.

I have ideas. The thing about my ideas is, I try to act on and execute them. And sometimes this is a bad decision. But it's always a decision worth making, for the experience if nothing else.

Made a showcase of one of the best levels in Fury's Sky: Vagabond, my GZDoom based flight game. If you want to play this, go here: www.moddb.com/mods/furys-s... #videogame #gamedev #gamedevelopment #doom #indiegame

The thing that gets me about the "video games are art" debate is that games get dinged for putting out slop while books and movies can do the same without being questioned. If you think Clive Cussler books or the Final Destination movies are better than any game, I refuse to take you seriously.

You need not worry about pissing me off. I get angry over the dumbest shit and my anger is temporary to the max. Doesn't mean you weren't right, or that any relationship we have is kaput.

Implemented some enemies in an upcoming map for Fury's Sky Vagabond. The idea is to have them patrol the map in a circle, and the player has to shoot them down one of them, chosen at random, to open the way to the boss. #gamedev #indiegame #videogame #doom

Made an early birthday cake for my fiancee! Her birthday is on the 2nd of September! It's a vanilla cake with three layers in different colors and covered in chocolate frosting and Nutella!

GZDoom turns 20 today! Huzzah! Learning ZScript was my gateway drug into programming. I owe GZDoom a debt I will never be able to repay. Fittingly, my current project, a flight game called Fury's Sky Vagabond, is developed in GZ! Check it out on ModDB here! #videogame #gamedev #doom

One of my favorite bits of #pokemon trivia will always be that Kingler has a higher base Attack stat than Arceus, because it basically means that a crab can flex on God.

YOU GUYS MEGA HAWLUCHA IS PEAK 1000000/10
