2026 update

Going through the 1995 E3 Show Dailies. There are some amazing trade-only ads in these that I don't know have ever been reproduced

I can't believe I didn't share my Global Game Jam project here yet!! "Soul OS", an FMV game about a sleeper agent with some scifi evangelion type concepts! maxjk0.itch.io/soul-os

Okay but like are we all in agreement on this: The Nvidia GTX1080 was the greatest graphics card ever made

Software as a Service: Own nothing, die hungry

i made a version of wikipedia you can doomscroll xikipedia.org

Game designers: never give up hope

What if there was a website that regularly covered indie computer games outside of Steam, including experimental works and interactive fiction virtualmoose.org/2026/02/01/i...

My Global Gamejam plotline might be one of the most convoluted stories I've helped create yet

So far so good with Godot! Things were a bit confusing for me at first, but I think I'm getting the hang of it. I'm making an FMV game so I'm sticking strictly to just UI stuff, but I think that's always the best way to get familiar with a game engine

BREAKING: Bernie Sanders is introducing an amendment to cut ICE’s $75 billion funding increase, and to use those funds to restore the federal cuts to health care.

Satoshi Kon talks about how Requiem for a Dream took from his film Perfect Blue (1997)

Alright to serve my part in the protests today, I'm gonna see how much of this year's Global GameJam I can do entirely on Open Source Software This is the year of the Linux Desktop and me Learning Godot finally

This looks bad, right? But here is the thing... ITS WORSE This survey only reached a narrow selection of respondents. Notably cut anybody who has been unemployed for too long. Mostly just ppl who can afford to attend GDC. Many laid off before 2025 are still looking! variety.com/2026/gaming/...

Just saw Iron Lung Incredible job all around! Its really refreshing to see a project of this nature just work out so well. You see "oh movie made by YouTuber" and the risk is that it's gonna be cheesy acting and bad writing, but no, I really think Markiplier pulled it off!

Iron Lung is playing right now in theaters worldwide. It's been one of the greatest privileges of my life to be part of this journey along with Mark and co, and the result is one of the best things I've ever been part of. I hope you all enjoy it!

Ubisoft unions have unanimously voted to strike from Feb 10-12, due to waves of layoffs, lack of job security, and the end of remote working. (Read more at Insider Gaming)

高いデジタルリテラシーの人はAI使わない(#＾ω＾)

Found an interesting project at magfest this year, can't believe this kind of went unnoticed for years? Seems to be an ARG about Captchas, it is spread across ~20 executables, some of which require you to go back and fourth between in order to progress completelyautomated.itch.io/the-research

@testtotelland.bsky.social An interesting find at Magfest's Library Table this year...

My last job messed me up worse than I thought. I just had a dream where I was running later and later to work, feeling worse and worse that I was gonna have to stay later and later to make up for it. I suddenly realized "I don't work there any more" and it was so relieving

Everything that appeases capitalism eventually pivots to nostalgia to minimize risk. In gaming, that means a feedback loop of remakes that slowly cannibalizes the very creativity that built the industry. #blog #gaming

Just 100%ed Mario 64 for the first time ever. Never actually played the original before in its entirety, only the DS version up until this point. Absolute masterpiece of a game!

リトル・ニモのプレイテストが Steam で利用可能になりました! store.steampowered.com/app/2229030/...

そういえば、生成AI周りで「データセンターが水やら電気やら喰い尽くしててヤバイ」くらいの話は聞いたことあっても、データセンターがどんなものか知らない人って多いのかしら？ 誤解を恐れず簡単に説明すると… PS5の100倍くらいメモリ積んだモンスターマシンが、建物内にぎっしり隙間なく数千台とか並んでて、全てのマシンが24時間365日休まずファンを爆音で唸らせながらCPU使用率100%でフル稼働しつづけてる場所 って言えばとんでもなさが少しは伝わるかしら？ 猛烈な電力消費、爆熱を抑えるため建物全体に張り巡らされた水冷装置、それらの資源を駆使して創り出されるのが、剥ぎコラとか詐欺広告とかな訳ですな

YNow what? While it isn't personally my *main* reason for the switch, I think we've actually hit the point where you can just start telling people "I post on Bluesky instead of Twitter because the discoverability is better"

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

I had to open Xcode for this. Mac friends, tune in! 🪐📡📺

Just beat Split Fiction That final stretch was amazing, I love a game that saves the best for last

Dude I'm Starting to Think This Waluigi Shit Isn't Real

Today is the 10th anniversary of this gif of me showing how to make games on TV.

I should put this post in my class lectures on having to choose some kind of role/specialty

The public playtest for Little Nemo and the Nightmare Fiends is now LIVE on #Steam! Head to this link to request your access! store.steampowered.com/app/2229030/... #indiegame

for my research project, I've been playing a lot of tiny games released in the 2010s by hobbyist devs. those vivid works buried in the history are still worth to look at, teaching us how game making can be simple and dynamic

His ass does NOT look friendly

If the evil dictatorship ever deemed me as an enemy of the state and subpoena'd my discord DMs, I think they could never publicly release the chatlogs because I'm posting too many bangers, and they're gonna be afraid I'm gonna win people over

My controller is now cursed

AI use: boo Writing the best final line in videogame history: A+

The Steam game "Hardest" is being deleted, after the developer's girlfriend made them realise that its AI assets are "a disgrace to all game makers and players". (Hardest store page)

The developers of PEAK explain pricing

if you use software to lock down hardware repairs to make sure you are only able to sell replacement parts then it should be legal for a random dude to not only crack your protection but release and even profit from it without any legal consequence whatsoever you made your bed now sleep in it bitch

After a year of development, we're finally releasing the demo for my game that started off in the @vinny.vinesauce.com 2024 Shroomjam! Let me know what you think, and I hope you look forward to it! #indiegame #gamedev #unity3d #platformer #ps1 #psx #lowpoly #pixelart #cozygame #gaming

John Carmack stood in the kitchen of a party at 4am slowly turning into a crackden wondering if the cool people will come back if he texts them
