favoritepokemon.vercel.app Oh my gosh, whoever made this website, this is the most heartwarming thing I've seen in a long time.

If ZA/UM had made another Elysium, that’d be something else, but at this point I feel like a lot of people are just lashing out. I read this interview with a worker at ZA/UM and it just sounds so depressing that he has to deal with fucking death threats. He doesn’t deserve that. No one does.

updated the Grimoire support bundle! now it contains all 4 sets of tutorials and all 4 game templates ko-fi.com/s/8c30231847

So it turns out if you go cybernetic in Stellaris, then there's a risk that your species will invent the War Thunder forums.

Only a few days left to apply to exhibit your story-driven game (or a related tool or project), or speak about a relevant topic in a talk/panel, at #AdvX26! Submit by end of day on 21 May GMT+1 through the forms linked at adventurexpo.org #AdvX

Just a little PSA- Neil Gaiman has reactivated his Bluesky account. Because he deactivated before a lot of people could unfollow him, and/or because Bluesky doesn’t remove you from a person’s followers when you block them, a LOT of you are still publicly listed as following him. You should check.

Most isekai series are dire slavery-filled power fantasies, yet part of me is starting to wonder if their success can be partly explained by... the number of wildly acclaimed mangas whose message can be summarised with "Living a normal life is the best! Superpowers will only bring you misery!"

Pick a Bond from photos you already have on your phone.

just remembered some of my favourite recent poetry: journals of medical students dosed with ketamine and accompanying explanatory notes

“…it’s a very human existence, and it’s hard not to feel some kindness towards someone who would just like to sleep in on a sunny morning or loaf around on a cold evening…” I knew Roommania 203 was weird, but I didn’t expect it to be so ~warm~ kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com/2021/02/09/r...

The Four horseman of the BlueSky Gaming Community or something like that

NEWS! You hear that!? That's the sound of OFFBEAT; a music-tycoon game from the fantastic @whetstone.games OFFBEAT allows you to hook up kids toys, garden ornaments and kitchen utensils to a sequencer to create glorious electronic music (and export to .wav!) store.steampowered.com/app/4468030/...

Memento Mori: A Selection

You know that feeling when your brain needs a new hyperfixation to cope with everything, but you still haven't found a new thing to obsess over? yeah

Animating on one 3DS is fun but using 2 3DS is even more fun :)

idk why, but in my head La-Mulana was a combatless game like Animal Well, and now that I am finally playing it I am sad about the version of La-Mulana that only exists in my head

it must be so heart-breaking to make all this cool artwork for a game, and then they slap some dabadee-dabadi mfs on the cover because it's 2005 and the last thing anyone wants to do is look like a japanimation.

All these GoT spinoff media and such when Elric of Melniboné ys right ther and Tom Hiddleston ys at the heighte of hys poweres

... I think this might be the single most ridiculous patch-notes post I've ever seen on Steam. This is for a (solo dev?) game called Vietnam War, which is about the Vietnam War. (Also yes, I know about the AI audio stuff, don't care, not relevant)

Alternate take: artists, you need to chill. When someone tells you "your art reminds me of X", it usually means "your thing reminds me of this other thing I like, which means I like yours too!" They are not accusing you of plagiarism. They are struggling to articulate how much joy you being them

as ever, a hearty fuck you to jeff bezos and amazon for killing comixology

finally, perspective grid knowledge will be useful irl

I am very happy to report there is at least one good videogame about mushroom picking I know of: store.steampowered.com/app/1156590/... unsure if it lets you poison people tho

isekai anime where the person beong transporter into another world is an antropologist and they just spend their time doing ethnographic research

when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters

Lil meowboy. Photo from my collection ca. 1950s.

it's so fucked up that 'roguelike' now means you get three random upgrades at the end of a level instead of "occasionally the game will generate a gnome with a wand of death and obliterate you (in the event that you havent already died accidentally falling down a set of stairs while overencumbered)"

In Italy they have an actual name for the old men standing around construction sites watching the work. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umarell

Some practical advice on how to go from being completely useless in a kitchen, to being capable of feeding yourself:

We are rapidly losing the outlets where new writers can learn to shape a voice, where they can cultivate skills beyond quick news hits and PR with the guidance and mentorship of strong editors and the benefit of a trusted name, and it’s such a loss for writers and readers alike.

The king of game engines remains undefeated

I think Into The Breach is my top game to being on a desert island. There are other similar roguelikes I love more (Slice and Dice!), but don't have the same breadth of challenges

That moment of horrro when you realize your side-project is gonna need to handle dynamic character pronouns uuuuuuuuuuugh

We are *this* close to reinventing the newspaper business model again (congratulatory)

We know Hayao Miyazaki wanted to make a Pippi Longstocking movie, but the author, Astrid Lindgren, refused to meet him. I am 100% convinced Tove Jansson persuaded her friend Lindgren to steer clear of the man, because she was still mad MAD about the Moomin anime adaptation
