spending valentines taking an aerial chains workshop with my hot girlfriend. i would like to thank god baby Jesus and princess diana for being gay

Get wired, chooms and chummers. ⚡ 'Netrunner' by Schafft, created on the ZX Spectrum for ZXGfxtober 2023.

I was thinking that if the song “Despacito” came out today there’d be like 20 “think pieces” all like “Justin Bieber and Daddy Yankee come together to prove love is love in any language!” or someshit

seriously though, Metal Gear Solid 4 IS on many levels “about” the PlayStation 3, the console hardware “arms race” of that era, and how the game’s creator felt like an aging relic called in to “save” the platform by exploiting its technology to questionable ends.

The game you are about to play is a product of its time. It may depict the PS3, which was commonplace in society. These depictions were wrong then and are wrong today.

In case you missed it, I wrote a blog post to introduce people to the concept of procedural narrative!

this is just what the inside of my head looks like at all times

That is an incredible pull quote from Meta, jesus. Masks fully coming off.

🌼My new game is here!🥀 "She danced in the wind like a holographic dream before the world died." alienmelon.itch.io/flower A game poem and interactive fiction about The End. You play the very last flower left on Earth, bringing peace to long dead soil. #IndieGame #VideoGame #GamePoem #Game

It was believed in medieval times that hedgehogs had spikes so they could roll over fruit to carry home to their children, which is not true but is a really cute idea

we’re so back!!!

a stat i always cite is the number of anti-trans articles in the press went from 60 in a year, to 7,500

you may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like

god finally someone is dealing with the issues that matter

Today on Hidden Door's not-so-hidden blog, we talk about procedural narrative + procedural generation (or procgen if you're COOL). You've probably seen procgen before, whether you know it or not. But where?! Secrets revealed, procedures explained: www.hiddendoor.co/blog/procedu...

Happy Black History Month from your favorite Gaming Musician. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpgV... Check out this video on some critical black creators to the videogame space. Show some love, cuz I know they're gonna try to come at this one.

I haven’t posted about my work on games in years. I still have jobs, I would just rather be open in other ways than promote those things

It took me months, about 495 rides, recovering from a shattered right foot and hacking a folding scooter, but I finally own a Nintendo Switch 2 using points obtained from Citi Bike. Afterwards, it left me questioning the very nature of work. For @aftermath.site. aftermath.site/switch-2-cit...

I kiss you.

I'm still looking for full-time or contract work – I'm a narrative design generalist with credits on multiple shipped titles. I focus on taming the complexity of narrative systems, writing prose, and leading narrative teams. brunodias.dev/bio

Aided by genAI models like ChatGPT, “writers” hoping to get paid for fake stories have become an even bigger problem for publications big and small. One such writer almost pulled one over on COYOTE — until @soleilho.com, who is a nerd, spotted a key idiosyncrasy.

trump musing aloud that he's gonna burn in hell has become so common in his ramblings that it doesn't even make the news, this was a few days ago and the only clip i was able to find of it was at RT

sounds like newspaper subscriptions are a waste of money too lol

“In our… research, we discovered that AI tools didn’t reduce work, they consistently intensified it… Employees worked at a faster pace, took on a broader scope of tasks, and extended work into more hours of the day…”

“wow! good job! incredible upper body strength!” - strangers seeing a woman pole dancing in her underwear and needing to demonstrate how they nobly look past to praise the Strength Within

honestly there’s some people I mentally ‘cancelled’ for so long that I can’t even remember what y’all did

YouTube has just informed me that they’ve reviewed this video and deemed it “not suitable for all advertisers.” Utterly devastating as someone who directly earns 0% on every video she posts. Without that 0%, I may be forced to cook and eat the family dog to survive. Whose family, I don’t yet know.

Blogged about playing the lucrative alien baby trade game when the economy is exclusively made of scams. aftermath.site/space-warlor...

I just love this thread of all the things children want to know

i have been looking to antifascist art from the post-WWII era for perspective. recently i learned about a great queer Czech artist, Toyen, who did antiwar work and also delved into bodies and roles. as in our era, you can't question the machinery of the world around you without questioning gender.

my favorite Steve Buscemi role is Ghost World btw

the neurodivergent urge to assume that someone actively hates you and you did something wrong because you simply lost touch in a natural way over the years

I never noticed this either.

We hit our goal thanks to all of you, but you can still join me in celebrating by reading (free!) stuff I edit!

ah, one of my favorites. thank you for everything

this is so funny, god bless louise lucas, Hero of the Commonwealth

Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries. One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home. Abolish the billionaire class:

Me whenever someone hires me to write something simple for a general audience

British values

This is bleak: Jes Staley, currently CEO of Barclays, reassuring Epstein that popular revolt against financial elites is unlikely because capitalism and pop culture have defanged social movements, leaving people more invested in consumption than justice.

retweet if you think trans people deserve a pack of cigarettes, six passports, nine flip phones, a pistol, a set of handcuffs, plane tickets, the key to a storage locker in ulaanbaatar, and $20,000 in cash

Every young person sentence online reads like this to me now: "Bro entered low-stim flow state doing a 10 min grocery rotation and got mogged by a friendly neighborhood cat 💀 Is proximity-maxxing essentials while touch-grass-pilled more optimal than suburb-meta carbrained bulk errands?"

You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.

having musician friends is crazy because they'll casually say things like "oh yeah i dropped a sonic-inspired retro speculative OST a few months ago" and when you say "holy shit you nailed the execution flawlessly why didn't you promo this?" they'll say "...promo?" like you're a talking dog listen:

After 9+ years at ustwo games I have unfortunately been made redundant. If you are looking for a stylised 3D generalist with 10+ years experience to have on your team please give me a shout or let others know that I am available for work! I'd love to chat ✨ fensartden.com [email protected]

This is the reality. The British state MILKS immigrants ruthlessly for money. Thousands and thousands of pounds. And then declares they're all dangerous spongers.
