Big news!!! I just released my new rhythm game! It's a passion project I had in mind for a while, where you improvise guitar solos and try to one-up each other. It's in early access. I plan to release about an update a month. Feedback more than welcomed! Get it here: rafiki.itch.io/guitar-ego

Love the new @play.date update with FOLDERS!!! This is a game-changer 😭 I always spend so much time looking for the game I wanna play

If you see this, post a vampire that isn't Dracula

computer pseudoscience

Why would someone pay $20k for a robot controlled by a human in a remote location to do things more slowly and clumsily when the median wage for a maid or housekeeper is $33k per year, which is typically spread across 10-20 households?

What exciting rhythm games have came out in the last years (5 or less)? I know of: -Oddada -Rhythm Doctor -One Btb Bosses -Trombone Champ Any gem I'm missing? #indiegame

Teacher: So, you want to start a business? Well, first question you've got to ask yourself is, "Do I have a product or service that people might want?" Tech bro in the audience: Whoa whoa whoa let me just stop you right there

NEW: I spoke to original Halo devs about that ICE Halo post One: "abhorrent” Another: "Using Halo imagery in a call to ‘destroy’ people because of their immigration status goes way too far, and ought to offend every Halo fan, regardless of political orientation” www.gamefile.news/p/halo-ice-d...

Your video game consoles cost more today than they did last year as a *direct result* of Trump's tarriffs. There's no debate, there's no opinion - that's the reality. Games cost more for everyone inside and outside of the US now because of Trump.

I released a pwyc guide on how to grow a beard (with or without T!). Here it is: ko-fi.com/s/86f0b94ffb

I'd like to find a name for my rhythm game before I release its alpha on itch. So far, its development name is "Simple Dual Rhythm Game". Very descriptive, not very catchy 😅 I think I'd like to keep Dual in the title, to put forward what it's about?

Lol the random ass Britney Spears game I made 6 years ago got some attention

Queerness and Games Con is a go! I'm presenting one of my latest games, Informed Consent. The two games next to my booth look promising!!! So excited for the games to be setup 😭

just found a bullet casing with the entire bee movie script on it

In Yoshi's Island, a "tongue overflow" glitch exists whereby Yoshi's tongue is able to fly away and begin gaining infinite length, overwriting the game's memory. The tongue-based corruption can have any number of effects, including skipping to the credits and ending the game.

The success of the boycott of Disney over Kimmel is simultaneously encouraging and infuriating, because it shows people could have stood up to this shit at any point before this - in defense of trans people, in defense of black women, in defense of so many others - and simply didn't

for people who prefer audiobooks over ebooks many classics, major philosophy books, other public domain work has been read by volunteer readers (quality varies, but some are better than paid versions) all free at: librivox.org I often pair it with gutenberg, to copy quotes for notes while listening

Blippo+ is launching on Steam and Switch today. See what not to miss! www.playdateunofficial.com/articles/can...

Maybe we're all just tired and fed up but I feel like Night Bluesky is particularly petty in the best way tonight. Unrelated, to make your night better, here is a 1990s TV show demonstrating how easy it is to be chill to trans people.

Metroidvanias are either Protestant or Catholic. Castlevania? Catholic, of course. Metroid? Protestant. Blasphemous is Catholic. Dead Cells, Protestant. Hollow Knight is Protestant, but Hollow Knight: Silksong is Catholic. That's why people are complaining the game is hard. Cause it's Catholic now.

There are people playing my games every day on itch. I might not make highly successful games, but I still find that pretty rad. Makes me feel very connected to the world <3

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read. They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

I don't think I should post acab content in the work chat that often

Just finished the English translation of my guide on how to grow a beard (with or without testosterone). I'm so looking forward to share it with even more people!

My partner and I (2/4th of SNW) are both trans and attempting to leave the US (I’m also an Arab immigrant). It’s extremely expensive, so please consider buying our game/leaving it a review so that we have some sort of income when we inevitably have to make the jump and start over. Thank you.

The Play for Peace: Games for Palestine charity bundle is now live! Nearly 400 games from creators all around the world, with proceeds going directly to Gaza relief efforts. Bundle link: itch.io/b/2979/play-... We made a launch trailer to celebrate this moment👇 Please RT.

A common mistake many new writers make is crafting a character and then, without story justification or world building to support it, making them heterosexual. This leaves readers confused & takes them out of the story.

Let's goooooo

There you goooo (More exciting tic-tac-toe variants coming soon) rafiki.itch.io/there-are-3-...

New game dropping today

Hanged out with a bunch of lesbians doing tarot readings at the park today, and it reminded me of my first lesbian crush, who would love to do tarot readings with me at parties. I miss her a lot.

Movies should be 45 minutes or less

Holy shit

Woke up this morning knowing deep within my soul I now have to play Return of the Obra Dinn. Let's go!

Hi friends! My team is casting 5 voice actors for contract roles in our combat-focused video game! Ideally remote voice talent with home recording setups. We’re seeking authentic representation for the following roles:

Let's goooo! I did some light voice acting for that game lol

LOOKING FOR PLAYTESTERS! I'm looking for someone to try the latest build of my Playdate game, and give me some feedback :) It's a 2 players pass-and-play game, so you also need a friend or something to test it. Comment or send me a DM, and I'll DM you a build! #playdate #indiegame #gamedev

I'm not doing that great mentally lately, but the Twilight fandom and my beard growth help me hold it together.

i shit you not, i just looked this up: Twitch Plays Pokemon got the second badge in about 50 hours

J'organise un show de drag à thématique Twilight! C'est le 16 juin prochain à 19h30. On est un beau cast de kings, queens et creatures ✨ Très hâte de partager ma passion pour cette saga légendaire avec vous 💖 (Au cas où j'aurais des followers de Montréal) my.weezevent.com/twilight-en-...

Exhibiting a game at an experimental games expo in Montreal today! Thread of cool games to come

I've been slowly but surely growing a beard that I'm very proud of in the last 6 months 😊 I've reached that without going on T (using minoxidil only, an anti-balding treatment sold OTC that I use off-label). So happy to pursue succesfully my transition goals 🙌

There's a Playdate OS/SDK update out today, 2.7.2. (Get it in Settings > System > System Update). While it doesn't have a lot of features for players, it sets the stage for a big new part of Playdate: networking. That means developers can start writing things like—that's right—multiplayer games.

You’re all going to be so good at paradiddles by the time you three-star 100% of this game! #playdate

Pyramid Head!!! Only missing Sonic, and I'll have the top 3 most attractive male characters tattooed on my thigh.

Just released a new game! It's a short (5 minutes) autobiographical rpg about my experience with sterilization. Playable on mobile and desktop. It's nice to work again on games that are meaningful to me 💖 I hope it sheds some light on an unfair system! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #rpgmaker

Nooooo

So happy with my Playdate holder

Let's gooooo
