this happens every time i try go fishing im sick of this shit

The Godot patch notes made me laugh, so I added sound effects to it

every day I choose between fixing the next bug in my code or disappearing into the tundra and the tundra looks more and more appealing all the time

what i've learned from owning an ayn thor is i want a phone in this form factor (maybe a little thinner though) clamshells are great but the folding screens with lines through them are not great. just have two screens it's fine. also put a gamepad in there that's the other thing.

"Players don't read" of the Devil fixes this by giving gamers poker chips for proving their reading comprehension 🧠

NieR Automata genuinely might be one of the most important game releases of all time explicitly because of how it directly inspired DXVK, yes. www.digitaltrends.com/computing/ni...

This is right. Don't ever hand your phone to the cops, locked or otherwise. Digital IDs might seem convenient but they expose a huge flaw in your personal security. Cops and feds are not your friends. theverge.com/2024/9/24/24252235/police-unlock-phone-password-face-id-apple-wallet-id

i think part of why troubleshooting is seen as scary or magic nowadays is windows/mac/android/ios go to great lengths to hide everything you'd need to properly troubleshoot. why did we start hiding error messages. half the time the issue is simple but diagnosing it is hell because of this.

Moved to desktop Linux in earnest for the first time in my life, and honestly - it's finally ready (or it's been ready for a while). All my daily use apps are there. Driver support is perfect and all works out of the box. Every game I care to play is available to play.

if I call one of your characters obnoxious it's the biggest compliment I can ever bestow. I fucking love obnoxious characters.

We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA. Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.

Unfortunately, you have too many items. Therefore, I can't give this to you.

girls are so pretty

Now that the embargo is up on the Steam Machine, I can reveal to you its actual size. And while what I've been allowed to play on it is limited, I can tell you that Towerfall runs perfect on it

NEVERMIND 8BITDO YOU TOOK TOO LONG, STEAM CONTROLLER 2 IS MY NEW BEST FRIEND

I will stand by, this remains the funniest mistranslation in manga localization history

8bitdo if you make a version of your pro or ultimate controllers with steam-deck-style touch sensitive thumbsticks I will pay two hundred dollars for them plEASE

"Gay people should just create their own stuff" Webfishing dev got doxxed because their game was too gay, you guys literally don't let us have anything

Anytime I mention this story theres a few dozen people who never heard about it, so for those unaware

started Hundred Line and Sirei is great but the issue is I don't hate him with every fiber of my being

Love Tara rightfully boiling over this lol. It's so funny that this was something people brought up constantly when the game came out as GOOD design, but as years go on, games train people more and more to NOT actively engage with and respond to what they're experiencing.

Immensely refreshing read

more than "you should play bad games because a maligned game might be good" i would prefer if the positive contrarian dogma was "you should play games that genuinely interest you regardless of what other people think" because holy shit the former leads to a lot of turning your misery into Content

I read a thread about games with terrible UI earlier and this video has been destroying me all day.

"nintendo I would like to know who composed this specific track" "nintendo sound team :)" "that's, not a person, I want like, a name" "...a guy on the nintendo sound team? 👉👈🙃" "no-"

Bloodborne runs at full speed through PS4 emulation on a fucking Steam Deck, it's the funniest shit. youtu.be/DCt5bI1F0A8

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Write code to make being human easier. Rip code out if it makes being human harder. Write code to make caring for each other easier. Rip it out if it makes caring for each other harder. Empathy driven development has literally never failed me. It’s done me better than everything else combined

Everything about making video games is harder than you think.

ECONOMICS GAMES ARE NOT ABOUT MONEY AND I CAN PROVE IT BY SHOWING THIS ALIEN BABY ABSOLUTELY BEEFING IT AND LOSING ALL AUTONOMY AND LIVELIHOOD IN SPACE WARLORD BABY TRADING SIMULATOR. I GROW MORE NORMAL BY THE DAY.

if we talking about the game awards can we talk about their silly games for impact category aka the diversity award. its so silly they will put queer games and games with poc leads (all indie btw) in that category but never nominate them in anything else

Extremely powerful
