DOCTOR: Are you taking care of yourself? ME: [thinking about the chocolate cupcake and can of Monster Energy I had for breakfast] yes

My feature piece on @xpgaminginc.bsky.social Level Up Showcase 2026 in Toronto is out on @mobilesyrup.com! The event was a massive success and tons of fun, and so was reporting on it. Please give it a read! mobilesyrup.com/2026/04/10/l...

💥 ISO: Gamedevs & Playtesters! The G.R.I.D. is a FREE game dev event for devs to get structured playtesting and industry feedback at any stage of their game. Free to attend. Free food. Free prizes. Did I say free? You just have to be a game dev. Apply at playthegrid.games #gamedev #indiedev

ALRIGHT A REAL ANNOUNCEMENT THIS TIME! The G.R.I.D. IS BACK! FRIDAY JUNE 12, 4-9PM, George Brown Polytechnic! OH BOY there are major upgrades to this year that I cannot wait to share. You will see one of them when you visit playthegrid.games Applications for everyone open April 6th! #playthegrid

A decommissioned poster. It's too dark, but I still kinda like it.

A hawk lazily circling in the updraft and a human laying in the grass below wondering how to be free like that bird are two animals using their sharpest evolutionary knife.

I won't lie. As it's leaving, I sometimes wonder if I will never see another winter again. This sounds like jest, but I spent the first 13 years of my life without winters. I can't stop worrying that I'll lose them somehow.

DO YOUR STRETCHES AND THANK ME LATER

Congratulations on your win @avilewis.ca, you have an impressive platform. But _please_ don't forget about your promises on electoral reform. I am tired of minority electorates creating malevolent dictators. It is an exploit that is making people not want to play the game. 🧡 Good luck, NDP 🧡

Bradly heard us yap endlessly. He deserves a medal. But also... He's cooking up something really cool with all the Canadian features he's been collecting. Follow him for when it drops in April!

Oh hey, did you hear we spun up a 3rd Chapter..!? Checkout the inaugural Kitchener & Waterloo Show & Chill next month, April 1st (first Wednesday of the month) ---------- And if you're a Kitchener / Waterloo dev you should join our discord (link in bio) and find your new favourite community! 🍕🦖

What a cool experience it is working on Capy Castaway, writing a love letter to Toronto it writing back 💌

Just a reminder that you can attend great #gaming events for networking here in Canada, and we don't have gestapo at our airports. Next one is XP Game Summit, May 21–22. 👇 #indiegame #gamedev

I want to reach just beyond my grasp.

Toronto is the best fucking city in the world: Harmolodics and Lavender Town at Drom Taberna then Alpha Shawarma Walk home a happy man.

What's the opposite of turning DLSS on?

Thank you to everyone who came to play the demo at GDC. It will be the last time we'll show this demo publicly. For those of you who got the red logo at the end of the demo... I'll remember what you did.

We have new key art now!!! I'm getting posters of it printed so stay tuned for that 👁️

Made some improvements to my web app for to converting 8 images into a 1 page pdf for printing classic 8 page zines. It now includes different paper size options and the option to add custom margins around each image. #zines #indiecomics #comix #neocities jenbarb.neocities.org/home/zine-ma...

not just for games, either! if you loved Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie, thank the Canadian government bc it was funded largely by both federal and provincial grants

All good civ players know that you use the grants promotion on Governor Pingala to double the great people points per turn in your cities.

Some fun stuff last night. Thanks GTA GAME GANG

Went live with Astromine demo update - Acid, Drills, and Strafing: store.steampowered.com/news/app/183...

Not saying that these 9 games are the best, but rather, they made me the person I am today, one way or another. Unrelatedly, did you know I used to do cheerleading and was studying to be a lawyer?

🔎 NEW ANIMATED TRAILER 🕵️‍♀️ What would the world look like on the brink of freedom from colonial oppression? Hill Agency: PURITYdecay is an Indigenous-made cybernoir point and click mystery adventure, where you play as Detective Hill, a tough Private Investigator. Animation by @meowsmouse.com.

I want a button on my keyboard that immediately plays this banger: youtu.be/DaYBhbe0dns?...

Come find me so we can yap irl about our special interests.

Once again, a long post with strong opinions. It's probably twice as long as it should be, it's also repetitive and written in affect. And you probably disagree with my argument. So maybe you shouldn't read it. On the other hand, most things worth reading are written in affect.

stared at browt so much i had a vision

if you feel like this it may not be because you're old, it may be because you don't want your enjoyment to be beholden to the demands of a content schedule or engagement retention strategies

Toby Fox: I AM GENIUS

A lot of my software friends have asked why I'm so resistant to agentic coding in games. While it has uses for tooling, I wouldn't trust it with movement code. Every time I try I run into this issue:

this is what a third space looks like

Any homies wanna play this with me 🥺

Seeing people share Steamed Hams edits so for consideration may I share it made using Mario Artist on the 64DD.

After months working in the shadows… meet Curse of Resthaven. A gothic horror mystery where you govern a cursed island trapped in a time loop while searching for your missing niece. If it’s your kind of weird, please wishlist! store.steampowered.com/app/3796150/... More dev secrets soon.

i feel both an inclination to identify with the games industry, as someone who relies on it for a living, and a strong urge to distance myself from it and its chaos and declare that we are artists who made art before we were part of the video game industry and will still when it's dust

Parents of kids who play video games, do you monitor/help them choose games to play? If so, how? Especially if the games in question aren't ones you're personally familiar with? Working on a feature! Reposts appreciated! 🙏
