Here's an easter egg in the new Lego Batman that I think all of you will REALLY appreciate. It's so good, I had to make a video.

If you've somehow never seen it, here for you is just the loveliest fish out of water family sitcom that turns into a Big Gay Romcom halfway through.

We made a fake repo with fake bounties, and the bots are applying fake PRs, so we know who is fake, and we can ban them from the Coolify repo. IQ over 1000

I posted my mid-month newsletter yesterday, with a small faery tale on top -- and I also forgot (and just added to it) a Pudding study of similes in 500 fiction books, next link... open.substack.com/pub/arnicas/...

Weird Game Designer Facts #3 In the 80s, the most famous PC game designers in the US were Chris Crawford, Will Wright, and Dan Bunten (M.U.L.E.). Danielle Bunten Berry, her name after her transition, was the first out trans PC designer. Her last game was Warsport; she died in 1998 from lung cancer.

One dollar. The Handler's Screen, with a bit of becoming-the-mission fiction. Need to Know, quickplay rules with starter op. PX Poker Night, with Air Force fuckups fucked with. And Convergence, so catastrophically weird it turned me into a lifelong DG junkie. You want more? Oh. There's always more.

We're just about done hiring for this project. If any of these roles sound interesting to you please apply! We're working on something I think is p cool

My favorite thing about Mr. Blobby is how whenever Americans find out about him they take psychic damage

Adult content helped build Kickstarter. It helps build most of the big sites on the web, only to get evicted once the business settles into the positions smut built for them. It has every right to exist and its creators deserve to participate in the social spaces their work developed.

Retractions never get proportional attention. This one should.

damon reece's article about this is really good, the anecdote about the person who thought necrobarista was set in the future because they didn't recognise australian postcodes still sticks in my brain medium.com/@damonreece/...

this is tangential to anything much going on rn but when people muse over why austrailian game devs tend to set their games in america and wonder why, I often think about how Weird some american critics got about Necrobarista's setting

void bastards critics objected to our casual use of expletives pretty often because in America it’s a pearl clutching subject but in future space, everything is Australian, Scottish and Cantonese so u gotta suck it up for the swears

I just saw the phrase “the metrics you were goaled on” on LinkedIn and I threw up in my mouth a little.

this is the bare minimum you should be doing when defending your employees. making a statement and proving you support them sets the standard and expectation that these people cannot bully companies into firing employees they dont like

You foster new talent, you open doors to diverse perspectives, you take chances, you build a good name among artists and readers alike, and you end up with a culture of comics worth talking about. Help Conundrum stay exactly where they are and where they should be: crowdfundr.com/ThirtyYearso...

Funding cuts to the Arts here in Nova Scotia have hurt many institutions I care deeply about. Conundrum comics @conundrumpress.bsky.social is one of those very special small publishers who fill in the gaps necessary for Canada to own its place of pride as a producer of great comic artists.

Used for Albion (1995).

Every detail of a game communicates narrative, says @gilesarmstrong.bsky.social - so no writing is too small to be important. For more tips and inspiration, turn to www.inklestudios.com/kaleidoscope...

I spent this afternoon playing through Forbidden Solitaire, and I highly recommend it. I'm already a huge fan of Grey Alien's solitaire games, and the satirical/horror narrative about a fictional 90s gamedev studio is excellent.

Gasp Y'all aren't gonna believe this,

At Wizards, we learned from painful experience that the game designers in R&D could look at sketches and diagrams and evaluate a game proposal without it looking nice. Everyone from other departments needed the game proposal to look nice or else they'd get caught up critiquing the visuals.

for You Have Died i'm just using software blitting between a front and back buffer held in CPU memory. and it really drives home how doing graphics on the CPU is easily an order of magnitude less complex than having to go through a GPU just jiggle the bytes around a bit and there's your result!

OK, my idea for DELTA GREEN, which someone else could definitely write or homebrew is, in short, DOGE found The Program. 1/

Straight-up calling Warner Bros Seven Arts Kinney Time AOL AT&T Discovery Media a subsidiary of The ACME Corporation, having ACME as the primary antagonistic corporation of the film, and proceeding to say this is the film ACME doesn't want you to see should be studied by marketing students.

strange these op-eds about women being too angry have all come out the last few days when during the same time there's also been a massive investigation published on an online rape academy with millions of viewers a month and none of them have bothered to even cover it, even as news
