"Three icons at the top of the screen is too many. Better hide two of them behind a kebab icon for some reason." - Bluesky UI experts, apparently

RE: https://mastodon.social/@nancycomics/116674678093844722 It's worth a shot

The Pokémen be like "Send your Starmies! There's no pokémon team Who can stop me And you'll soon see I've come for vengence For the first son of Oak And I'm ready and willing and prepared to croak!"

You hear of Chet Faliszek? The guy who wrote the entire Portal 2 co-op campaign story? The guy who's important enough to be mentioned by name in an employee handbook for a company he no longer works for? The guy who gave us Left 4 Dead 2? […]

The secret to making traditional art is to let a beneficial spirit enter your body and ensure you only draw the Good Lines.

"Intent does not negate impact" seems to be said exclusively by people who would immediately reject it if it was said to them.

It's not clear what happens if an anime lady covers the skin of her upper thighs but experts all agree it's not good.

The final test of every fan is to accept that the thing they like is bad and sucks.

If anyone has any favorite homebrew retro games I'd love to hear about them so I can add them to the woefully short list at https://encyclopedia.lol/Articles/Homebrew

The evil lord Zaxis and his henchmen Xaxis and Yaxis.

This has big "I am extremely frustrated and being held hostage by my NDA" energy.

Not sure why I want to get on pixelfed.art so bad when their mod team seems to be asleep at the wheel

They should have stopped numbering Final Fantasy games after 10.

I went to the store and bought two oil changes worth of oil for both our vehicles. Just in case.

I don't wanna brag but on Mastodon they don't routinely apply account-wide NSFW filters on people as a punishment.

I have an alternative theory.

Familial relationships technically exist in Tomodachi Life but they don't affect any behavior other than preventing certain relations from falling in love.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but It's now safe to turn off your computer.

Her name is Denise now. Yeah. Still a menace though.

Now that I know what combinations produce what personalities in Tomodachi Life I need to go back and tweak quite a few characters.

Should men wear short shorts this summer? No. Men should wear short skirts.

I think for procedural generation to work well for a game you have to have enough possibilities that a player will never see them all before completing the game.

I have yet to see a refutation of the "Star wars is for 50 year old babies" meme that is not some variation of "But I am a 50 year old baby and I love Star Wars!"

If a ladder painted yellow appears in the first act it must be climbed in the third act.

No offense but if you're a fan of AI and approve of what it's doing to the world I want to beat you with a sack full of hammers.

Disappointed to hear that Ian Bogost is not a fan of my new game.

Game devs, take notice

Finally getting somewhere in Tomodachi Life.

Australian state name origins: A direction: 4 A queen: 2 A different place: 1 A guy: 1

[Uspol (unserious)] If a 'roided out UFC fighter were to slap Trump on the back and cause him to unexpectedly explode in a shower of red chunks, well that would be something.

Irrationally angry about the term "Kamikaze drone" which seems to mean "cruise missile that costs $35 grand instead of $3 million"

There is not a baseball player named "Alimber Santa." I refuse to believe it.

Google should invent a text box that you can type queries into and it will return factual results from various websites. Then we would have an easy way to verify its chatbot responses.

Google Gemini: "AI can make mistakes, so double-check responses." HOW EXACTLY DO YOU EXPECT ME TO DO THAT WHEN YOUR UNRELIABLE CHATBOT IS INCREASINGLY EMPHASIZED OVER EVERYTHING ELSE

There are a million Star Wars characters where their name is the only good thing about them. Despite this the writers still couldn't come up with a better name than "Baby Yoda"

Tired: I'm thirsty Wired:

Sequel game that asks if you played the previous game and if you say "no" it lies to you about what happened

Deadstiny 2

"The recommended way to install Guzzle is with Composer. Composer is a dependency management tool for PHP that allows you to declare the dependencies your project needs and installs them into your project." My ass whose idea of starting a project is opening an empty text file: Okay.

Trying to wrap my head around building an interface with an entirely API-based space game, but because I'm a geezer I'm trying to do it in raw PHP. So I feel like a kid with a can opener. Think about how the curl_exec() addresses the remote server.

Turn up your darks (when explicable)

The current Twitter limits prevent you from making more than 50 posts a day and changing your email more than 96 times per day.

Just saw a popular post about what it means that the He-Man movie has bombed which seems like a pretty bold stance given that the He-Man movie won't be in theaters for two more weeks.

One of the most affirming experiences of my life was when I saw a bunch of other people talking about how miserable Enter the Gungeon felt to play. I thought I was the only one.

BattleTech ranges are so funny. "This is a gauss rifle. It shoots incredibly far. It can shoot clear across a mall parking lot."

@nerunian-guy.bsky.social is low key an amazing person to follow. They consistently boost great art by smaller artists (including me). I've found a lot of cool people to follow on Bluesky thanks to him.
