So much online conservatism these days is just "I miss being a kid"

remember, anyone could be a stand user.

I can't believe that I'm saying this. But I think we actually have a game that successfully carried the Disco Elysium torch. And it's not any of the ZA/UM splinters. It's "Esoteric Ebb" by @chrisbodegard.bsky.social Chris. If you see this. To quote... you... I can't wait to see what you do next

AAA dev flowchart Make game > did it outperform fortnite in one week? > give up

Okay shoutouts to Phantom Brigade I like a lot of these types of turn based strategy games but the timeline based turn system makes the full replays look *way* more fluid than I find they do in something like Fights in Tight Spaces

We are Minmo We carry the flame

THIS IS WHAT SAM ALTMAN WANTS TO TAKE FROM YOU

Hakita what the fuck www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgNY... This is some peak fuckin trailer right here

You had them for 5 years… and your best idea was to put them to make… live service slop…

Holy shit Sony might be one of the dumbest fucking companies to ever exist

The Epstein Files tell a horrific and heavy story of abuse and corruption. But power protects itself through the expectation that we will feel paralysed by the sense of powerlessness. Their release is a seminal moment. That's why our new Byline Times print edition delves into the deeper story 👇

Imagine working on a game for a decade and getting laid off three weeks after launch What the fuck man I wish I was more surprised to hear that

Lmao the fuck you mean my dental hygienist can tell I'm stressed by my fucking gums what black magic shit is that

Let's Go, Justin!

I'm so proud of today's practice piece, feels like I've had a real breakthrough lately

Well this was an entire evening, but a good excuse to practice the style I've been fully honing in on lately - this semi-GBA style that lands somewhere between One Step From Eden, the proportions of my old YOMI Hustle Modding and an outlining epiphany courtesy of GBA-era Fire Emblem Games

I'm so Smart

rare to get such a clear glimpse into the mind of someone whose response to problems in his personal life was to blame black people

Shoutouts to the Yasuo I just played against who beat me in the first round, started teabagging behind his wind wall in the second, landed an anti-air and disconnected mid combo Truly incomprehensible playerbase that character has I was playing Cait/Teemo tho so deserved

Today's art practice is another new OC, Ernest the Witch. This one came out of two ideas: I wanted to make a spellcaster who's ultimate ability is throwing hands, and I wanted to make a transmasc witch as a fuck you to a certain fantasy author.

Solid #2xko_caitlyn route made not to be the best, but to practice a bunch of different Cait combo theory fundaments. We've got a rejump j.4S2, we've got a j.2H xx 2S2, we've got a 4H into part charge shot. Works from lights and works anywhere. Being >500 with super helps

Bro 2XKO's game feel is fucking illegal

I don't particularly mind if this kinda thing isn't very good I think it's sick

Bro anatomy is fuckin hard

Yo this thread I didn't know Ken Jennings was this fucking based

This kind of thing does point out a real ethical dilemma: block or mute?

THERE This one (and probably my next few) largely exist as FX practice. It's always been my single biggest weak point.

Today's practice

Feeling really good about this one, been a while since I tried some animation with more than a stickman.

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

call me crazy but it really feels like “World’s Richest Man Creates AI Chatbot That Generates Child Porn” would’ve been a huge international outrage requiring a governmental crackdown not even 24 months ago

Obviously, this is amazing BUT the thing I love most, is that it's directly poking fun at the desire/fetish to overanimate overlapping action & smears. Asking someone of James Baxter's calibre to *intentionally* do this (as well as mess up the spacing on a bounce) is funny in the nerdiest way.

Again just throwing in simple backgrounds to have *something* more interesting than a solid colour. Here's another OC one, and she just wants to ask you a couple questions

The lack of self-awareness in complaining that someone has ‘stolen’ the way you’ve used the art stealing machine is hilariously staggering. They really think they are creative.

It's a very short review for now because I just really want to get back to playing it, but I just had to give Void Stranger 5 stars. Outside of the FF7R series it's been a long time since a game was so good that I could firmly put it in my "best games of all time" list. backloggd.com/u/ChipCheezu...

Play this if you want a really good sokoban style puzzle game with a good story that will eventually turn you into an insane person if you dig into it enough.

Pretty happy with how this turned out! Always nice to make something where you look at it and go "that's a really visible improvement in my abilities"

Hello, not only do we not use AI we would rather cut off our own arms than do so. Demonschool is 100% human made.

I think this is one of those "perfect is the enemy of good" scenarios, but for consumption instead of creation. If a game overtly uses GenAI, then you condemn it. If you didn't know, then it's fine. The problem is if you start covering your ears so that you don't have to think about it.

I had a long meeting so I made a little brother for my mechanic girl

Took a stab at an OC for maybe the first time, made this mechanic girl

The most powerful narrative device a game can deploy is "throw you back to the main menu but it's different"

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential
