friendslop as a genre name is pretty cynical but i think there is something to be said about the complete willingness to mimic aesthetics of a popular game 1-to-1 happens a lot with indie games nowadays where it didn't used to in the Golden Age

my most boomer take is that i think pokemon card cracking is gambling and youtubers who crack pokemon cards are promoting gambling to their audience

can't make develop anymore friends i'm sorry :( i'm very busy and slightly broke lmao

why are there so many games made by usually white european developers that lean so heavily on surface-level japanese aesthetics

The game industry is so fucking back

welp been a long hard month of getting all of the CD-ROMs burned for my new game, time to log onto my favourite megacorporation's twitter account and see what they're upto

Saying we should all go back to physical media I think misses the point. I actually *like* buying games and movies digitally for a bunch of reasons. What we need is better consumer protections so the things we do buy digitally are actually owned and companies cant delete/revoke access!

SINNER BABY WHAT ARE WE DOING !!!!!!!!!!

every year there's a new horror movie that is supposedly a genre-defying classic and every year it's just a horror movie

my psoriasis on my hands is so bad that my phone no longer recognizes my thumb print anyone want me to do some crimes for them

I do think ai psychosis is kind of funny in terms of revealing how many men are apparently already quietly going around thinking they're on the verge of inventing a new kind of math or physics

people falling over themselves to throw money at spaceX's public offering while the face of the company incites race riots in countries he doesn't live in yeah. that's

Hardly a new point, I know, but these race riots are another example that, while Starmer is up in a froth about banning children from social media, the biggest danger is adults having their brains cooked by rage-baiting misinformation on Facebook and Twitter and being radicalised into violence.

no other way to say it, this thing in the uk where every single time a non-white person is in the news being accused of a crime we have full on race riots is very very bad

i need yall to start using the fulll name God of War: Laufey when posting takes about it, i constantly think i'm reading out-of-pocket takes about the icelandic singer

there's no category of Short that i skip faster than "WHOLESOME MOMENT AT TCG CARD SHOW" i literally could not care less

managed a week of flights and long car rides this week so i could spend a few days with some friends in Finland and i'm very proud of myself

hard to express how profoundly affecting it has been to try and deal with urinary problems for the last year or two and how embarrassing it is to have to try and get people to take it seriously constantly anxious about car rides, flights, even a walk longer than 30 minutes

This country has heard enough from Tony Blair.

it's too fackin hot lads ........ who with me

idk how to feel about the new ZAUM game i feel like people get unusually bloodthirsty to ride for disco elysium and i can't exactly blame them but it feels off sometimes

running enjoyers: what's the deal with Runna is good?

five years ago today i published my senior thesis project That Which Faith Demands, an interactive fiction game about salvaging a fallen mech made from the body of a god jannouna.itch.io/that-which-f...

HELP i want to get wired earphones and an mp3 player HELP i'm going to performative jail

2019 was a different time man

I'm gonna go out on a limb here: I think this sequence was modeled on an AI video.

If that's the speech Starmer needed to save his premiership, he is sunk. Equating the Greens with Reform will infuriate voters who abandoned Labour. The man who kicked pensioners and disabled people says: "We got the big political decisions right". Incoherent and dull.

logged onto twitter dot com for the first time in months and it's good to know that everyone there is still dumb as bricks

it's really fucking boring that balatro is an aesthetic now you can make a board game based roguelite without literally copying the balatro aesthetics 1-1

now that everyone i know at Ustwo has been laid off anyway i can say that this is fucking shite www.gamedeveloper.com/business/-we...

Sadly my position has been made redundant and I'm on the lookout for a new role. If you know of any current or future opportunities that may suit me please let me know. Portfolio linked below: gamesmegan.wordpress.com

this shit look familiar to anyone ??

i feel like dropout as a media company is following a rooster teeth pipeline and i will not elaborate

working on something in early access is very cool because everyone gets to see it turn into The Actual Real Game That We Imagined in real time

A huge betrayal. Won't lower bills. Won't give us more energy security. Won't insulate from price shocks. And sends a clear message to the world that we are backing new oil and gas drilling. www.lbc.co.uk/article/ed-m...

Labour have demonstrated over and over again that they are not up to the task of tackling the climate crisis. They're not up to the task of protecting our children and grandchildrens future. We must fight back. Join.greenparty.org.uk

my hot content take is that i have never found a video of other people playing board games funny or enjoyable to watch

just one of those days 🫠

they've done it again ........ @skatunenetwork.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAKJ...

might fuck around and become a modded 3ds guy

embarrassed by how much my day improved when a barista recognises me and smiles and waves

been KILLIN IT at work the past couple weeks and that always feels good after a bit of a slump the sine graph of my ability to focus continues it's journey uninterrupted

If I told an art director at work "hey we're gonna take the lighting and shadow on this character out of your control" every single one of them would collaborate on a beautiful ornate hammer to beat me to death with

shows labelled as "understated" hate to see me coming
