For some reason I just assumed that one day I would visit Sam Neill’s vineyard and have a chat with him about stuff. Sure seemed like one of the good ones. RIP

The biggest graphical jump in video game history was zx spectrum (1982) to zx spectrum (1987)

Yes, I understand the irony of posting this…

Finally watched Project Hail Mary. Cried my bloody eyes out multiple times, have a full on crush on Ryan Gosling and Rocky, and want to watch it again immediately. 10/10 👎

This is so awesome it almost feels like I’ve already played it. Want. Mutchly.

Studios didn’t hire me because I had no experience in gaming… so I decided to make my own. Here’s my first indie game as a solo dev: a 3D metroidvania dedicated to exploration and platforming.

I would like a physical copy of my game please.

dreamcast forever 🌀

this feels so long ago

Reposting because of the sony news

Sorry how did I just learn today that 1. There was a PS1 Lemmings platformer called The Adventures of Lomax 2. The art freakin rules (Image via playstationpark.tumblr.com)

Genuinely blows my mind, the concept of a library. Like you get to read books and texts from decades and decades ago till now. For free. Amazing. 📖

This is an important announcement.

I don't want a download code, I want a physical game on a disk

Seems to be a lot of selective memory in UK's right-wing newspapers about schools not closing during the 1976 heatwave. I just checked and, yes, many schools did close early as well as allow parents to "keep their children at home if they wish". This clipping from London Evening News, 29 June 1976

good morning

This is why cities need trees. Hard surfaces and parked cars can reach extreme temperatures, while shaded grass and tree-covered areas stay dramatically cooler. This is the urban heat island effect in one image: hard surfaces absorb and radiate heat, while vegetation and shade reduce it.

Happy Juneteenth! It costs 0$ to repost a Black disabled queer small business! It could lead to my next sale. I sell pins, compression gloves, artist gloves, back braces, knee braces, wrist braces, compression socks, cute bags & more! Store: Bibipins.com

Today is World Refugee Day. Here’s a poem called ‘Refugees’.

Here's a rare one: we're hiring a News Editor at Eurogamer! The role is hybrid in London, though there can be some wiggle room on this for a worldie of a candidate. We're after someone who can not only proof, but understand how to push a story forwards originally. www.eurogamer.net/eurogamer-is...

Gonna be real here: I don't understand how anyone makes a video game and doesn't put anything stupid in it. I get tired of working on real stuff and blow off steam by adding silly stuff to my game. I can't fathom not doing this.

I guess I'll end by saying this: Jo Cox's murder was a watershed moment. British Politics today is the way it is because an MP lost her life in a white supremacist terrorist attack. And the government did nothing about it. We don't get to where we are today without that. End/

“yeah i can tell it was AI generated. how? just vibes, yeah. it has that certain gen-AI sais quoi”

We're still a bit too close to launch for me to have an objective view of causes etc, but safe to say Into the Slimy Mines has 28 100% positive Steam reviews, but hasn't done nearly what we hoped sales-wise. So any shares are massively appreciated store.steampowered.com/app/3639440/...

You want to know hot to stop people from chanting "eat the rich"? Create a system in which everyone has plenty to eat. It's not that hard, really.

That's cool! 🙂

I always get this film mixed up with S CLUB SE7EN, which was so horrific it made me Reach.

A while back we had the wonderful opportunity to pitch a Red Dwarf adventure game directly to Doug Naylor himself. While the project didn't end up going ahead, we're now free to share some of the work we produced for the pitch!
