Assembling a piece of furniture today and at this point I have assembled, disassembled, and reassembled almost every piece I put together twice. I feel like this could be one of those streamer rage games where the game presents instructions that are accurate but almost impossible to follow correctly

dnd update: there is no longer a vampire in the party inventory

The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien v2.48: Stopped children and babies from joining you on your adventures

subnautica 2's build tools are good

back in my day we didn't have it so easy as the kids do now, we couldn't craft straight from containers in range we had to carry those crafting ingredients right in our own pockets, and with limited inventory space

The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky v3.25: Fixed head wobbling when planting C4

Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James v1.5: Enemies no longer start to regenerate health when stunned.

wow — the preprint host, arxiv, is banning authors for a year if they submit papers with hallucinated citations 🤖

this is a perfect game, I had stuff to do today and instead I shelved 932 books by hand (upgrades are for cowards) and I also alphabetized the titles within each section

dracula’s puzzle mansion why doesn't this exist yet

Blue Prince (2025)

happy brunch day its 10pm and I forgot to eat and didn’t feel like cooking, there are no rules still brunch

Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy v0.15: Players now gain 7 HP regen when out of combat

I have opened my ongoing side project for the first time in 2 years today and my first submit is a change to 220421 files

The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco but now you can use Ping on the minimap

dnd update: they put a vampire in the party inventory

I made a bot and it is good

The Call for Proposals for Roguelike Celebration 2026 is OPEN! We're looking for speakers to deliver cool talks about procedural content, roguelike game design, generative art, and more! Roguelike Celebration is a virtual conference, no physical attendance required. Check it out and tell a friend!

it took less than two minutes of gameplay before reaching the first reference to cannibalism in forbidden solitaire

i’m deleting my repost of a fake account impersonating an nba reporter. i didn’t look close enough and i was fooled, and that’s on me. the basketball court does NOT fold up like a backgammon board after the game and the players do NOT sleep in it until the next game

When I describe my personal design aesthetic to other game designers, I tell them that I don’t design for balance but rather drama. This is a great illustration of that.

it's so fucked up that 'roguelike' now means you get three random upgrades at the end of a level instead of "occasionally the game will generate a gnome with a wand of death and obliterate you (in the event that you havent already died accidentally falling down a set of stairs while overencumbered)"

happy brunch day (imagine a photo of poached eggs, chorizo sausage, crispy home fries, and toast because I forgot to take one)

update: I think I am getting like a 50% hit rate of good procgen outputs, what an excellent way to spend a saturday

So I am rebuilding an old twitter bot for bsky. What are some games have great ongoing patch notes & new feature drops? I got some good obvious ones: Dwarf Fortress, Caves of Qud, Civilization, Stardew Valley, Baldur's Gate, Minecraft, Crusader Kings.

for everyone else it is the weekend the cherry blossoms bloom, but for me it's the weekend where I get to hear the orchestra of car horns as people struggle to find parking and deal with tiny streets that require cars to take turns passing each other

saving these for future slide decks

"By the time I show my art to the public I consider it a personal failure" damn, critical hit

I’m starting to think it’s not coincidence that my favourite brunch place in Toronto (Good Fork) and my favourite dinner place in Toronto (Azhar) are both Turkish restaurants.

I am enjoying this game way too much. store.steampowered.com/app/3119540/...

I appreciate how I, the brilliant Sherlock Holmes, deduced that this woman was pregnant with the magic of observation, and then I chose to tell her and in response she murdered me

I like how you can see the fog of war like it's Diablo or something.

out now: store.steampowered.com/app/2364580/...

I have 438 games in my steam backlog so of course I have decided to install Satisfactory again.

Palantir are about six months away from ordering their employees to leave audio logs scattered around their offices

Aww the neighbour’s kid is learning to play Beethoven’s 5th symphony. On the recorder.

dnd update:

a spider has taken up residence in my basil plant so pesto is extra risky now

in the genre known as "horror films about video games", the "haunted game developer" is a rare niche that I deeply treasure

“Chat,

dnd update

happy brunch day
