DEFEATED THE COMPILER AT LAST! ON A TEAM MADE UP OF PEOPLE FROM THE GUILD I FOUNDED!! CRYO ARCHIVE CANNOT CONTAIN ME OR MY DIAMOND DOGSSSSSSS 💎💎💎🐺🐺🐺

So, so much of modern social media is quite literally designed and tuned to do one thing -- break solidarity between groups that would otherwise be united against the same dominating forces I can't overstate how much algorithms push and manipulate people towards moral policing, outrage, and lashing

I am deeply in love with @stimuwrite.com as a tool. It's actually wild to me how well it works for me in focusing my mind into writing. It's easily the best writing software I've added to my repertoire in over a decade, and it's now where I do the majority of my writing. please please try it!!

Guys StimuWrite has a patreon now!! I've been working getting this ready for months, and really hope it takes off so I can dedicate more time to updating the app and keep it free. Also I could really use the $$ tbh. If you're able to support, please join! There are rewards! bsky.app/profile/stim...

It's been 23 hours since we and @sunsetvisitor.studio announced Prove You're Human, and it already has over 40,000 wishlists. People *want* narrative games that tackle difficult and human subject matter, and both of our studios will keep bringing them to you. Thank you for making this possible!

We must not become less of ourselves in the face of annihilation. We must hold to who we are, hold tight to our joys. i came into this world dead, grey and silent. I shall go out of strange, full of love and wondrous curiosity. I shall go a fully-grown changeling with a kiss of intent on my lips.

WE MUST NEVER FORGET THIS MONSTROSITY. I WILL NEVER FORGET THIS.

every day of the war costs us a dozen rural hospitals

durandal when he's winning: they're gonna measure my dick in lightyears, little man. i'm teleporting you into the ninth circle of hell, there's a button down there i need you to press. ciao durandal when he's losing: listen man. we're gonna be ok. you're important to me

I still haven't even come close to figuring out how to fully express the endless, torturous pain of living in this moment, of watching monstrous gears turn and churn all my friends and family in a thousand ways. Of being so deeply disempowered to meaningfully hinder or stop atrocity.

problematic loadout value gap

All rooks are lying about rook solidarity. I cannot tell you the number of times I've been present for "cooperating" rooks turning on each other when one finds a nice loot the other wants Smeagol + Deagol ass shit

I was just asked to submit biometric data to SCHEDULE A TOUR of a house with a friend of mine. From a real company at a real property. Genuinely fucking insane and depresses me that I actually struggle to come up with ideas for techno dystopia that aren't already in action, victimizing people now.

Writing the kinda gay shit that makes you cringecum

it sounds a bit corny but its true, @hadalbloom.bsky.social and i were sitting in a parking lot staring at empty office buildings, processing the terror of the moment, and reflecting on the similarity of shape with histories of horrors before and we decided we needed to make something about this

the despair we suffer every day has fueled us, we turn our agony into vile art, sick of the world and the trauma inflicted on the disempowered i have spent a long while scared of the idea of creating something again with my voice but i have no choice, in this moment i must scream until i die

the violence around us and within us comes in various forms, intensities, and often are bound by writ we @crowhop.dev are making ADV VN about the terror of contracts, social, legal, physical and psychological, of the flesh and unknowable sign up for our newsletter for updates soon: crowhop.dev !

The other day I opened my VN encyclopedia and master storyline document in a different word processor than usual and it defaulted to displaying 6 pages per window, loaded with text All at once it hit me just how much I've written this year. I've somehow achieved a great step in personal evolution.

at @crowhop.dev we're at what I would call the tail end of pre-prod. i'm doing the majority of the gameplay engineering while designing the systems in tandem. i want to lock those in before production "begins". meanwhile @hadalbloom.bsky.social is writing out Expanded Trunks of narrative

NOW THIS IS EXTRACTION I deeply appreciate Bungie building a ranked system around the core draw of extraction games Looking forward to trying my hands on the leaderboard

Marathon's unique ranked system can be a lot to understand when you're new to it. We've prepared a resource to help you get used to figuring out score targets, loss penalties, and more.

god damn it I love this game. have not felt this about a multiplayer shooter since I have been able to vote

Yall should sign up for our @crowhop.dev mailing list at crowhop.dev so you can get emails about our SEATTLE BASED ADVENTURE VN CRY-GAME ABOUT BENDING REALITY TO TOPPLE AUTHORITY NO MATTER THE COST made in #Godot on #Linux If you enjoy higurashi, we hope you'll enjoy this thank you for your time

I think we're going to see even more stories like this over the next year. Good.

I'm actually floored at how much StimuWrite 2 helps me write. It's almost miraculous. I don't need much from a word processor most of the time, I've always written my best in basic, lightweight text editors with minimal features + StimuWrite is that + a few simple ADHD-satisfying tools that are 👌👌👌

The launch of Marathon has been a wild one to watch and be a part of. I'd say its a polarizing game, but I don't really think it is. It has an intensely passionate community that is pretty large, especially for a game that expects a lot of players. It also has a cluster of VERY dedicated "haters."

Life isnt and cant be a never-ending pursuit of currency The culture of imperial nations drives all to filter their life thru currency as a universal medium. To live via money. Art is a form of magic that defies the logic imposed on us by force. It is not just an escape, but resistance!

I wish for every artist I know to have more confidence in these times. We live in a neofeudalistic hellscape whose architects are cultists of war, death, and money. They want us to be worms who churn the dirt in their garden. To resist that by living for art and the wonder of life...is beautiful.

I'm in my Marathon arc and I'm going to go back and play the old ones now, having never so much as touched one of them. Does that count as modern Bungie successfully honoring their roots? is this the rare example of a game company ACTUALLY doing right by its predecessors despite shifting genres?

My company's barebones landing page website (that I built in a car ride through Oregon) is up! Hit up crowhop.dev and get on our mailing list so we can ping yall about our game!

I have so many thoughts on Marathon O.O I'm really really enjoying it, and that's a great surprise as a newcomer to the series who has not been into Bungie's design through the Destiny era. The latex/rubber aesthetic absolutely rocks, extraction shooters are largely drab, gritty and "grounded"

I feel like younger people don't realize that the internet wasn't always optimized solely to make you as angry and miserable as possible, and people are having a lot of nostalgia for 2000s internet vibes now because it wasn't like that back then

In Death Stranding 2, the Magellan is a vessel for the most dangerous waters of an uncertain "doomed" future. It is powered by the incredible bonds of those who inhabit it to be able to survive even darkness with their improvised tools Such a vision is why I started @crowhop.dev with @slimekat.com

been making games for over a decade, got burned by the investment pullback and laid off for the first time the only way forward for me right now, has been back to basics so i started @crowhop.dev with a friend, focusing on our talents and what we want to make, with jack shit money

the energy with which i am wishing you all a happy new year

I've seen The Princess Bride over a dozen times throughout my life and every time I see it again I discover something new that I love or another joke that permanently lodges in my brain 😂😂😂

This year has been an absolute nightmare in a lot of ways. The dead body of the current order is rotting atop all of our souls. But I am proud that I have chosen, at least, to channel what remains of my energy into art. Writing, coding, writing, coding. That's how I'm surviving at the moment.

genuinely, you have to stop relying on corporations to build and maintain your connections to others. if you want it to last, you're going to have to build it yourself, with others.
