8 years ago I decided to write a song using every Video Game Console's boot up sound. Turns out it'd be my most popular video with just shy of 100k views!! youtu.be/-i9xSZbR_LQ

Hey, everyone! I've just released a new story on itch for free! "If I drew what they did to me, I'd get sent to prison" is a short autobiography on art, trauma and censorship that only gets more relevant since I started writing it in 2023. 10 pages long! CW: discussion of CSA, incest and self-harm

In 1999, a farmer gave away 87 acres of land to a small Texas town to use as a park. The town sold to a data center developer for $10 million.

ah, I was wondering why the NYT was having a panic attack yesterday lol

A WIDOWmaker implies it makes widows by killing men. A PEACEmaker implies it makes peace by killing men. A HAYmaker

Just watched the Among Us show! It's pretty good! Feels faithful to the source material while being a comedic murder mystery! Definitely don't skip the (ABSURDLY LOUD) opening cuz it changes every time!

Happy Pride Month!!! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

Happy Pride Month

I'm GAY and TRANSGENDER.

The state of employment in the games industry is now so dire that you have to be a time traveler, since UE6 isn't slated to come out for at least another year or two 🫠

He's a good boy he's just a theater kid 😭

genuinely what do you say to ppl like this other than "kys"

checking the magic 8-ball i use for meal planning after giving it a fervent shake

WHY THEY MAKE CHOPPER SWEAR SO MUCH ON THE LIVE ACTION??? HE BABY HE'S ONLY 3 APPLES TALL

Love the Mike Wazowski-ass placement of the gun and Nintendo seal of approval that makes it look like they're both letting it hang

I told you this place is always crowded, we should’ve called for a reservation 😩

I dunno why people ragged on the Super Mario Galaxy movie. It's on par with the first one for the most part. It's not high art, but it's fun and chock-full of references in a way that is clearly DEEPLY researched. I'm talking DEEP cuts

So is anyone actually excited about Star Fox? Aka Star Fox 64 3 aka the Same Star Fox game 5(?)

A commonly shared Super Mario Bros. fact is that "the clouds and bushes are the same", but the bushes only use half the cloud graphics. However, this statement turns out to be completely true for WarioWare: Twisted, where the bushes are actually just full green clouds buried halfway in the ground.

Today is #NationalPenguinDay so we're remembering that time we made a Penguin out of Penguin Books. It's a Penguin Penguin. 🐧

You ever think about how cool Samus is? Samus is so cool...

Why they put Sanji and Zoro in a normal ass outfit in Season 2 of live action One Piece Sanji is just in a t shirt

My first ever @officialpax.bsky.social with @bostongamedev.bsky.social... was a BLAST!!! See you all next time!! (Featuring characters made by @hypersect.com, @normalhorsegames.bsky.social, and @nthcircle.bsky.social)

Two of our local panels organized in partnership with PAX. On the left is "We Have Gamedev at Home", a collaboration between BGD, Gumbo, Seattle Indies and Shattered Journal. On the right is "BGD Lightning Talks".

From left to right: our BGD booth on the PAX floor featuring local studios. A sign for our Indies Demo Night. Game Audio Boston's Hang, and our Mini Con.

Last week we wrapped up another incredible Boston Gamedev Week! This wouldn't have been possible without the tireless work of our wonderful organizers and YOU, all the people who came and brought the party! Vid from Make Games Make Friends, more highlights below 🧵 #gamedev #indiedev

💥TDOV bundle thread💥 For $15 you get 15 trans books & an audiobook! This bundle has the good shit. Shit you haven’t seen bundled before. Lotta sci-fi, some fantasy, a bit of horror, plenty of romance. Bundle ends on March 31 so don’t put this off. Here’s why 🧵 itch.io/b/3594/tdov-...

We’re in a video game crash. You can’t look at 45K jobs lost, games in dev for 5-10 years shuttered in a week or a month, jacked prices on hardware to 30%+ vs launch, and component prices through the roof due to garbage SlopTech and tariffs and draw any different conclusion.

Day one of PAX! Come see us, try the demo, and get some trading cards! @polyfightergame.bsky.social

Thanks to everyone who tuned into our panel last night! Great work everyone! @ericmazer.bsky.social @kyaneosart.bsky.social @samwinkler.bsky.social @bondhunterbond.bsky.social
