I'm so stuffed after all that Christmas food. But I can't resist these little pick me ups as a treat.

I struggle to have a lucid conversation after doing a single press-up, the way the World's Strongest Mans can do it after deadlifting an actual ton is probably the most impressive thing they do!

Pro tip for owners of under floor heating: putting gifts of chocolate under the Christmas Tree is a bad idea... Every year.

Our Christmas Cards in recent years! Happy Holidays from the Ground Shatter team 🎅

Strike! 🎳

Max props to @connieku.bsky.social for still blasting out such quality content this late in the year.

GAME DEVS. I got tired of mind maps spaghetti, so I built a game design tool that lets me see exactly what I need to see. It lets you scrub dependency depth: see only direct connections, or expand the chain when you need it. This is for people who design games, let me know what you think 👀

Only 00s kids will get this, but the quarterbacks in the Bills @ Patriots game are called Drake and Josh

Any lawyers up? I'm at a party and the local dentist has just been around with a tray of delicious chocolate brownies. Is this entrapment?

Lots of people saying, "Jason Momma's Lobo" without considering how much swooning that might cause!

Can't believe I only just noticed this: F-eebie R-achael I-an (Ross) E-dna N-onica D-yoey 'S-up Gunther

This both looks good and is a good idea. Good.

Scottish friends! I'm looking for a voice actor (roughly 30-40 years old, female) for an unannounced game✨ You definitely don't need to be an established actor, but you must be UK based with your own recording equipment. This is a paid role, DM for brief! #voiceacting

Me, not really knowing what an Extraction Shooter is: what's with all these games about killing dentists?!

It's odd that this story doesn't mention the fact that the game - at one stage - was being backed/published by Microprose, who did a big splashy reveal at Summer Games Fest with it.

Perfection

I don't have ready access to Yes Madam so I'm watching Madame Web instead which is basically the same thing

That's already a fabulous package. Jingle Jam really is good if you like games or charity (or BOTH if you're some kind of weirdo)

Ninja Turtle Base. DONE. This is the one to repost, folks!

ALAN's made a sales blunder again! Really he promote this during the summer when the temperature is high, not in the winter when the temperature is cold. But his loss is your gain, as you can get one of the nicest and bestest games ever well-cheap.

The Brutal Base texture pack is OUT NOW for all your grimly concreted environment needs! shallowthinking.itch.io/brutalbasepack 80 authentically 90s/00s diffuse textures plus extra FX stuff in three formats to meet your needs, great for retro stylings. #indiedev #gamedev #lowpoly #gameassets

Fights in Tight Spaces started out as an Only Fools and Horses game

This looks amazing. You should dot dot dash to the Steam store right now and purchase it!

It would please me... if you came to Maraoke next Friday 21st at @loading.bar Stoke Newington! Tickets at maraoke.com/booknow! [Video Description: crowd of people singing along to Dua Lipa's Houdini, but written about Luigi's Mansion, at Maraoke]

I'd have put Crank 2 in instead of The Mechanic, but horses for courses.

"It's important to assume that every game company has a small collection of plushie llamas in their meeting room" - me, using my sample of one to extrapolate the behaviours of an entire industry

I'm getting adverts for a very specific bus route in Bristol (the number 36). Which is both too targeted, and also absolutely no use to me as I don't live on the 36 bus route. I hope this is something I can blame on AI.

If I were lumines I would not have a title that looks like it says arse, on a logo that looks like an arse, positioned over an arse

Earlier on at Monument a man darted out between traffic and was inches away from being splattered by a double decker bus. The dozens of people at the pedestrian crossing - to a person - said "fuckin' hell" and I haven't felt that level of national pride since 2012.

I keep seeing this thumbnail and thinking it's a video where Edgar Wright says something like, "Michael Wood Services after a big hotel breakfast and a long drive, the relief was immense"

When he's wearing his sunglasses, Mike McDaniel looks like someone who would piss of John Wick without fully acknowledging the ramifications

Fixed it

Weird thing to say in a Hyrule Warrior review...

Mindset, a puzzle so pure it would work in a newspaper, is now in a newspaper. The Observer started running it today. Cat for scale. (You can play the digital version in browser at mindset.game, or grab the app at mindset.game/app)

And we're all just fine with "Bustin' makes me feel good", are we?

Thanks to Milan for making me feel immediately at home on my arrival.

Frights in Tight Spaces: Out now! 🎃 Confront ancient and mysterious forces that reside in an abandoned manor, in which lethal traps, ghastly ghouls, and other unspeakable horrors lurk around every corner... ➡️ s.team/a/4091260

You spend years trying to establish your reputation as "the jock" of the UK games industry and it's all ruined in a single afternoon of wholesome biscuit decorating!

@jonbois.bsky.social I have an NFL question: Scott Hanson always refers to the "BLUE Medical Tent" implying the existence of other medical tents of different colours for other purposes. Is there - for example - an orange medical tent players go to when their feelings are hurt?

Okay you can mock. But when has a human creator ever given you the ability to Lergevtiepsappe an air conditioning unit in a game before? Never. That's when.

In response to all the people who said "I really like Fights in Tight Spaces, but can we have a version set in a haunted house where you can kick a Mummy in the nuts?" we have some new spooky DLC coming next week.

Introducing our upcoming DLC: FRIGHTS IN TIGHT SPACES 👹 Lurking in a sinister manor house, an ancient evil thirsts for a sacrifice. Horrors and otherworldly threats stand between you and your objective. 🎃👻Coming to Steam next Week 👻🎃

And yet I got kicked out of the operating theatre for playing a bassoon during a hysterectomy!

By using *REAL SCIENCE* I can officially say that Britain was in fact, NOT better in the olden days

While I may not agree with his choice of venue, the man ordering his drink on the Wetherspoons app WHILE STILL ON THE TRAIN earns a degree of respect for his commitment to getting the beers in

Given the picture they've used to illustrate it, the headline should probably finish "... and they're out for revenge!"
