gamedev problem: my placeholder asset is too perfect to replace

I now have an .img of this, and they actually added custom branding to the game! Hahahahahahaha!

I only use LinkedIn about once every 6 months, but this profile view really has me intrigued...

I'm your grandma.

Training this slacker to take in the washing.

The only commodity I care about are Griffin Pirate Stories. Someone needs to archive these, they've been averaging ≈$100 per book for a couple of decades, and 7 year-old Emmy needs to know how the story ends. 😟

Please enjoy five of my favourite images from an Australian arts & education magazine from 1990.

What this guy lacks in 'big beefy arm', he really makes up for in 'burnination'.

Do you refuse to play games with sexy ladies in bikinis, unless they responsibly depict the dangers of sun exposure? Well, have I got the game for you!

The worst part about having to spend thousands of dollars at the dentist (again)… is not that I'm probably going to end up losing my teeth anyway (again)… it's that I could be spending that money on multiple bespoke jester costumes instead.

Never been so devastated to find disks dead on arrival. 😭

> Australian pizzeria chain > Uses Skunny to promote their business > Shortly after, rebrands as Domino's Pizza Coincidence?????? 🤔

WE DID IT, CHAT. It took about 6 months in total to track everything down, but this is the final missing game in the series! Just finished uploading all the files, and the missing manual for Wizard of Words. Give 'em a play, if you like! 😊

Faith in humanity restored by eBay listing for frog stickers

Lying awake at 2:00am. My brain:

Anyone in Melbourne/Australia wanna make and trade weird zines with me by post hmu Social media is out and weird zines are in

Digital art peaked with this crabeater seal, drawn in the late 90s by Australian teenager Andrew Morison, for his MS-DOS game 'Rise of the Penguin'.

🤔

I FOUND A COPY! (Also the missing Wizard of Words manual!) Unfortunately this is the older version, and I don't currently have a way to retrieve this off a 5.25". If any Melburnian pals wanna help a gal out, hmu, otherwise I'll post it to one of my interstate connections. 😊

Australian Children's Literature be like: Old mate scoffed some rank grub and got all crook and unco... it was so dodgy he got borderline blotto. Frank was all, "That's cooked mate. Sort ya shit out ya mad cunt." Then gave him a dink in a one-wheeler.

A year ago I thought there were only about 20 Australian DOS games, and now I think I'm gonna crack 100 titles by the end of the year...

#screenshotSaturday I suppose. Helping the kids make a tiny adventure game where they do most of the art and writing and I do all the technical and tedious bits.

Need an app for cool people to come over and parallel play with me. I don't want to talk to you, but I do want to lie on the floor and listen to weird vinyl/cassettes with you.

Oh shit, for real?

A new short adventure by Yours Truly is out on itch!!! wavey-games.itch.io/the-dissident #pointandclick #adventuregame #indiegame #indiedev #cga #retrogaming #MajorUpdate

No one sent me an offering of banana cream pie for Fool's Day, so you're all getting pranked for the rest of the year.

Bring back 90s multimedia monstrosities!

Gave my cat an entire piece of ham, and he dropped a partially stunned moth on my foot 5 minutes later. 🥰

The scythemaker wasn't at the Lost Trades Fair this year, and I am SCATHING when I should be SCYTHING. Oh well. At least I saw some cool armour.

Working on some more horror game background art 🙂 #pixelart #gamedev

This is the ideal enemy design. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

Me, endlessly exploring wetlands in the evenings:

nothing i love more than the mangrove

We just started a new collaborative playlist in my Discord, so I'm making the previous one public. If you're looking to discover some new bangers, and/or data to describe which genres you loathe... It's all yours!

Autumn equinox explorations.

Sharing their denim two-piece outfit.

@emmfoolery.bsky.social good news!

≈ Every 6 months of my life I learn fresh horrors about my female body. I was recently put on some medication to try to regulate some hormonal symptoms, and today I passed a DECIDUAL CAST. Which is when your ENTIRE UTERINE LINING COMES OUT AT ONCE. It HURTS. WHY DOES NO ONE WARN US ABOUT THIS?

More films need elaborately animated, Manhattan Transfer inspired, rat villain troupe musical numbers. In Hungarian.

I'm only sharing this because one game having 'No Images' was hilarious to me.

Which social media/online spaces/communities do you engage with, that you feel actively improve your quality of life?

The year is 2026. Someone dumped their collection of a few 1990s floppies containing ZZT games. Out of those, even now, we found two that were not preserved. Back up your ZZT floppies and hard disks today, if you haven't yet! I will happily sort them for you.

if i'm interested in a new AAA game (honestly pretty rare these days) i just wait until it's on sale for $40, and by then i've lost interest. it's a perfect system.

My retired Boomer neighbours, the exact second 7:00am hits:

I am begging you to put down your phone, lie on the floor, and listen to an album that was important to you in your teens/early twenties.
