friendly reminder that Steam sales are a hollow shell of their former selves and used to be a LOT cooler and more interactive

I'm in a rather desperate financial situation so against my better judgment I am opening up music commissions. 3 slots, $75/min, $100 upfront and the rest upon completion of the piece. Arrangements or originals. I work slow due to disability, sorry. Examples of my work at music.sylveon.gay

I'm always consistently busy during Christmas. But honestly, that's what brings me joy anyway Spending time with the family? whatever man I've got ART to produce

...does anyone actually know how Fortnite item/skin royalties work? Like it has to be a one-off payment for someone's likeness/IP + % per sale, right? I can't imagine that the creators of someone like, El Chapulín Colorado still get royalties when his skin isn't on sale

free mashup idea you can steal: Double Life + sans (same key, almost the same BPM, both have a continuous cowbell ticking)

Yusuke Murata should submit to the Mega Man Robot Master contest again, just to be funny

I respect musicians who draw their own coverart (ie. Kenshi Yonezu)

fun idea for a quiz: is it a lyric from Linkin Park, or Hiroyuki Sawano

Captchas should fail if you endorse using genAI because you might as well be a robot

if you mirror the OnlyFans logo it kinda looks like the Sonic the Hedgehog emblem

Okay man. okay

after all the hubbub with Fortnite and Harry Potter, the actual collab ended up sucking anyway They couldn't get the actor likenesses (likely cause they want nothing to do with mega-TERF Rowling), so they're all reskinned (and hilariously overpriced) defaults. Not even Jonesy showed up

Smiling Friends self-insert characters if they were good:

nic

for real though why is "JRPG" the /only/ video game genre to have the country designation? The traditional kind of turn-based RPG didn't even come from Japan and the term means diddlysquat today because other countries make "JRPG"s too now

📣 GDC 2026 📣 @fortebass.bsky.social and I are doing a mid-mortem(?) mid-sloth(?) review of lessons learned so far from @outersloth.com! 💲 sub insights 💲 how is the fund faring? profits?? VALUES? 💲 ...terms reveal??? gasp?? idk still writing lol yay see u there! schedule.gdconf.com/session/game...

how much do you want to bet that Neil Druckmann has never actually played a single Crash Bandicoot game in his life

The wait is over, Punks: THE END is now live on Steam. And so marks THE END of our major updates for ANTONBLAST.

I still see him in my dreams

I love Super Mario Bros, it's my favorite JPlatformer. Doom is a great game too, one of the best USAFPSes out there

we've already had two (relatively) faithful adaptations of Animal Farm, I think we can have a completely farcical Seth Rogen one that borders on parody. As a treat y'know

The year isn't over yet, but this might be my favorite thing I've produced this year

I didn't get too many super great answers to this one funnily enough. For all the game's influence I'm surprised no-ones really tried to match FN's specific kind of gameplay well, there's a wide open niche yet to be filled at least: "games that play like Fortnite but aren't Fortnite"

*Skinner voice* "d'ohhh no, I said Steamed Replays" store.steampowered.com/replay/76561...

The constant push for generative AI by companies and CEOs feels like this classic dril tweet but instead of racism it's AI slop

so what are some alternative battle royales to Fortnite that have crazy movement/items and weapons and whatnot? Is there anything out there that has a similar gameplay loop/gets close to its zany fast-paced energy? Drop your recs if you got any

I really really wanted to like this goddamnit. "Papers Please but medieval" is a slam dunk of an idea but that promotional art is very clearly genAI :/ store.steampowered.com/app/4111570/...

*to the tune of Jingle Bells* tung tung tung, tung tung tung, tung tung tung sahur

I kind of have mixed feelings about this because yes, I do think more games should just be a one-and-done projects and not constantly trying to hold people's attention and siphon money through live service on the other hand though. This game was also supposed to be one-and-done:

maybe I'm biased but I don't really like too many of the Love Live girls designs post-Nijigasaki. I was a bigger fan of Yuhei Murota's work basically

You could pay me to do this and I'd still want my money and time back

friends: "please come visit us at Anime Expo/Magfest/[insert con here]" me: "haha... yeah"

waddle dee

oh god one of my last posts went out of control for the wrong reasons

the Ninjago theme song might be one of the corniest buttrock songs I've ever heard. I love it JUST JUMP UP KICK BACK WHIP AROUND AND SPIN www.youtube.com/watch?v=Il7y...

do you think that Clair Obscur 33 is gonna do the Black Myth Wukong thing where even though the game might be really good people are just gonna completely forget about it and it'll fall out of the public consciousness the next year

the newest South Park season wrapped itself up quite nicely and I appreciate that a lot. Sometimes when they do these really long stories they tend to not stick the landing but this time they did. Episode was funny as hell

We're hosting a Boss Design Art Contest for Mega Man: Dual Override where the Grand Prize winner's design will be added to the game as a boss! Entry Period 12/11/2025, 6:00 PM – 1/1/2026, 11:59 PM PST Full details: bit.ly/MMDORobotMaster #MegaManDO #DesignARobotMaster

ending the Game Awards on a generic hero shooter has got to be the single most diabolical thing that the Dorito Pope has done in a long time

mashups is the genre that most requires a theory background & is the genre most produced by people with no theory background

lil Nico has arrived. yey

Warframe could release the worst update in the world but as long as they never change the core movement and gunplay the game would still be good and live for 12 more years
