My 9yo is playing Tunic for the first time and it's taking everything I have not to give him hints

Sometimes when I'm having a bad day I look up compilation videos of fashion influencers setting up their cameras somewhere, then walking backwards facing the camera only to fall ass over teakettle over whatever was behind them the entire time, the dumbasses

If I had a dollar for every time a Brisbane game dev made a satirical golf game with all the boring bits put back into it I’d have like four dollars which is quite surprising yada yada

Hate him, love this move. Every Dem governor should do this.

Seeing Alton Brown show up on so many of my favourite food youtubers' channels gives me undue hope that maybe one day I will get to share a meal with him. I have seen so many episodes of Last Meals, but this is the first that has made me break down and cry. youtu.be/kCFkoOoYpa4?...

I’m not shy with my general anti-AI opinions and overall skepticism, and even after having my FIRST EVER positive AI experience recently, my opinion hasn’t changed: If you delegate the tasks that will lead to you becoming an expert in something, you have chosen a future of mediocrity. It’s a CHOICE

It’s really frightening.

More Witcher 3, you say? Right when I’ve finished the last open world RPG I was playing, when I’m still very much in an open world RPG mood, you say? INTERESTING

Last year, miHoYo copied my puzzle game Ouros in Zenless Zone Zero. Because they are a recognized, billion-dollar studio and my game isn't well known, some people are now assuming that their version is the original, and mine is the clone. I hope this video clears that up.

Our lovely @tasgamemakers.com president @hey.paris wrote a PHENOMENAL National Cultural Policy submission, and the board has decided to share it on our website for all to read to support national advocacy efforts: tasgamemakers.com/policies-and...

Ads coming to ChatGPT is just so funny to me The thing they said would change the world is succumbing to the very thing that ruined the rest of the internet. It’s just so lame.

Loving my new MacBook Neo so far for doing normal everyday work stuff when I’m away from my primary workstation. I would like to have a CONVERSATION with the mfer who designed the keyboard. Specifically the tiny Left Shift and Enter keys. You’re ruining my life.

This video should be on loop in every office of every AI product team in the world. This. This is what you're making. Can you make it better? If not TURN THE FKN CAR AROUND.

The construction work across the road from my place has me all stabby

Games needs to stop misusing "genre" to mean game type, or we need to start applying that misuse to all media: Mills & Boon: Third person bang fantasy Booktok: Third person fantasy bang Noir: Black and white mystery narration Thriller: High user retention Youtube: ad supported free to watch

Maybe the next generation is going to be okay

@elprezau.bsky.social I got me a Macbook Neo! First impressions: It's going to take me a LONG time to get used to the tiny left shift and enter keys

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

Real life edge cases! This make me happy, actually. As long as no-one was hurt.

Discovering there's a tier below "As Seen on TV"

Legally justifiable wedgies for all

This really is tremendous leadership from Freeplay, and the kind of thing that has been glaringly missing from the games sector. This stuff is really important, so games people, do not let this moment go to waste.

Submissions to the National Cultural Policy close next Sunday 24 May. We need as many studios, gamemakers and sector support organisations to put in submissions. Freeplay's helpful guide on making a submission can be found here: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

The only discourse on Mixtape that's interesting is seeing how asymmetrical the conflict between press & influencers plays out - many influencers individually take shots at "the press" for clickbait & to solidify their own commercial relevance - while the press writes critique about the actual game.

New phone is as smooth as silk, I’d forgotten what this feels like.

Absolutely loving hearing the amazing @worldsbeyondnumber.bsky.social crew playing one of the game systems I’m most excited by, @stillfleet.bsky.social 🤩 www.worldsbeyondnumber.com

I caught up with Beethoven & Dinosaur a few times over the last year of Mixtape's development. Here are some fun stories about making the game. A rejected pitch, meeting Kojima, their approach to teenage narrative, America as pastiche fantasy, emotion through play, music budgets, and more! Wow!!

I took my kids to Mona for the first time last weekend, and it was incredible. There's lots about Mona that can be troubling, problematic, schlocky, trite; but I can't argue with the looks of astonishment on their faces with each epiphany about what art can look like and do to your brain.

Github Reap Github Sow

A budget detail many missed last night was how the Albanese Labor government is addressing what it calls social cohesion. It is cutting $9 million from the Australian Human Rights Commission, the independent body that protects and serves every community equally.

When have landlords ever been quiet about this? MORE LAND TAX = HIGHER RENT etc. Make it illegal to raise rent prices for five years after a change to property tax policy, Labor. Then we'll talk.

I DID NOT KNOW HE WAS A BUSINESSMAN

The Mafia 3 soundtrack absolutely slaps

@brkeogh.bsky.social I'm going to buy you both of these

Mixtape is a fkn MASTERPIECE

92.1 + 1.5 = ???

Actually, it’s not cute. An artist only redesigns their website when they are in extreme distress.

Ordered a new phone and laptop from Apple days ago and it still hasn't gotten out of the Processing state. I could have walked into a JB Hi-Fi and bought these shits same day. In fact, maybe I'll just cancel and go do that. Why does anyone order direct from Apple?

Uhhhh I'm only paying for 100Mbps

speaking of webcomics I still think this Hark A Vagrant panel is like. the single funniest image of all time

Met Chris Roberts. Asked him when Star Citizen was coming out. Here’s 3500 words on it. (Wherein I also interview several avid players to try and understand why they’ve invested thousands of dollars into an unfinished game) thisweekinvideogames.com/feature/star...

RIP freud. you would’ve loved whatever this is.

I finally ordered and received my @dropout.tv hoodie and I may never take it off

I love videogames

Dunno if you read the full announce as it had more details. One is a feature where you give it a shot of the scene you want greyboxed. And umm yeah…

A) I have zero faith in this. B) I still haven't found a single positive reply to this post after a LOT of scrolling.

Pitch: Roguelike Deckbuilder Simulator. It's actually an asset slop game about building outdoor patios and decking, but sneakily.
