A final gamedev movie night with @lluisabadias.bsky.social for 2025 and of course we had celebrate it with our favourite kaijus: Gamera & Gyaos Gamera: Guardian of the Universe remains my all-time favourite film of the genre. I can't believe it's been 30 years already 💜🔥🐢

Two new addition to my tiny Gate Crushers diorama : the intersex and pansexual pride marines ! The pansexual one even have a little gaydar.

Think I'm gonna see out the last week of the year just building a cozy hobbit existence in Vintage Story Pushed myself pretty hard to get through these last two months, a couple of big projects dealt with, now I just want to find peace in a hole in the ground ⛰️ Stay safe, y'all 🫂

Ps to new Bluesky users: * admin here sucks * they are fair game for quote dunks * be merciless * in fact any time you want to start a fight w another user, start it with admin instead * it doesn't matter if they have nothing to do w it it's fine * it's enrichment * it's their care and feeding

today is a good day to share things that trans people have made reply to this with a link to your project and i'll repost it or you could go through anything i've reposted and repost it yourself? give the gift of visibility

I set my weird Christmas tree on fire… happy holidays everyone 🔥🎄

Godzilla Earth, Megalon, Manda, and Lil Godzilla Jr are hyped for the holidays!

Welcome, Twitter escapees/new Bluesky users. Four quick tips: 1. Starter packs are awesome. I made a game dev one here -> go.bsky.app/RxQCsKS 2. Bluesky's block is much more potent. Do not quote, or dunk. There's no pay-to-win so silence does remove nasty people. Blocks and move on copiously.

Sending out so much love & hope for all you wonderful folks as we reach the end of the year 💜 2025 has been a lot, it can be hard to believe that things will get better But we're here, we made it through. I'm proud of each and every damn one of you Whatever the new year brings, you're not alone 🫂

Know that AI could never make something as weird, horny, weirdly horny, or hornily weird as you are capable of making

This is my card for this year. Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is go back home. Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is to not go back home. Wherever you go this year, I hope you are with someone you love, even if that someone is you. I love you. Happy winter time.

I just saw someone yell “they’re just using it to generate ideas!” And I hate to say it But if you work in the ART DEPARTMENT and you need a death machine stuffed with your colleagues’ work to give you ideas Quit.

It's very easy: Just don't. The idea that Copilot or ChatGPT are suddenly essential tools is just buying into the corporate ad blitz. Games were made just fine (well, relatively) up through...what, 2023? 2024? They didn't suddenly become VITAL for budgets or design docs in the last 2-3 years.

Emily, the artist for my next game, is having a sale on comms right now & if you're needing art for whatever project you're working on I highly recommend her It's a real rough time for artists right now, end of year always is but now more than ever, so sharing when they are open for work is huge! 💜

The fucked up thing about the adult game sweep on Itchio is that they weaponized trigger warnings and tags against developers trying to do the right thing, further cementing my belief that adult games only have two possible ratings: Banned and Not Yet

Bluesky tonight is neatly divided between trans people and family members appropriately angry and freaking out and everyone else who has barely noticed.

I have a LOCKED account over there, like 500 people, under a pseudonym, so I can talk to other sex workers. It was permanently suspended yesterday, because I used the word “cis”. If they want people back there, they sure have a funny way of showing it

My video on Still Wakes the Deep got mentioned in Sight and Sounds's best video essays of 2025 WHAT THE EVERLIVING HELL!? I'm a video essayist now!?

Replacing my outdated pin. Hi! I am DogBlud, I do original, fan, and commission work w/ my partner @ependa.bsky.social. We are working on multiple projects atm, but we are regularly open for work even if we're not actively advertising. Please get in touch! werewolf.town/DEcomms.html

BIG NEWS: ROSEWATER has been nominated for Best Performance in the @indiecade.bsky.social Festival 2025! It's so great to see the amazing cast of this game get the recognition they deserve. See all the nominated games at www.indiecade.com/festival-202...

"we USE ai, but our game wont CONTAIN it" is a clarification that no one has ever cared about & now CEOs are using it as a wedge to get their foot in the door as a part of a long term plan into normalizing AI, just like how 'it's just placeholder' was used with E33. dont cede even an inch of ground

NEW VIDEO! The last Scanlines for the year is APPROACHING FAST, and it's a look at Darius Extra for the #megadrive/#genesis, which shows off a neat case of a fan project going legit and filling an ever so unique gap! As well as being a fantastic shmup! #retrogaming www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bAr...

Managed to wrap up the first instance of a big end of year project I hadn't intended to be presented with, yay me! That on top of trying to get my disability stuff sorted hasn't left me with a lot of spell slots to be social, but I hope y'all are holding together okay as the year comes to an end 🫂💜

Introducing someone to Johnny Mnemonic (1995) for the first time in the year of our Godzilla 2025 is a true delight 30 years on and this film is still just as fun, it's just the right level of campy 90s cyberpunk nonsense to stay great I love the original short story, but the film is so damn good

Yes. I judge the absolute shit out of people who do things like, oh play a Hogwart's game because it's free. It's also a social good that I do so, that everyone do so. Apparently you can't actively care about trans rights and transphobia and bigotry and active evil But you care how we treat you.

Since Polygon is leaving it out of the headline: Epic Games partnered with The Game Awards to put money into the pocket of a bigot who uses her wealth to further the genocide of trans people through lawsuits and legislation. Every 'free' game gives money directly to JKR, and they are complicit.

Sorry I think using AI for placeholders is also bad ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I know you only care about finished art but placeholder art also needs to be made by a human being who also needs to be paid for that But placeholder midjourney slop cuts that artist out

Okay, *fine*, I'll put my money where my mouth is. Here are 50* indie adult game recommendations 👇 *Or however many I can muster

you should all play more indie games made by 1 to 4 gay people in their bedrooms

"AVVIES" AWARD WINNERS THREAD. Woe be upon the winners! ❤️ Watch live 👇 www.twitch.tv/UVW_CWA

AVARICE AWARDS STARTING NOW 👇👇👇 www.twitch.tv/UVW_CWA

Okay, I'll make a thread of 50 indie games which I'll add to over the week, staring with. 1. Carimara Play as a little goblin creature summoned by a witch to investigate what's haunting her cottage, it's a creepy bite-size mystery akin to the Frog Detective games, and has gorgeous visuals.

The Avarice Awards holds a mirror to the hollow glamour of The Game Awards, as workers continue to have their livelihoods upended by mass layoffs. We are speaking truth to the powers ruining the game industry with their greed! Stream begins on December 10th at 7pm PT / 10pm ET on twitch.tv/UVW_CWA

Previously I had avoided the Crusader Kings series because it just seemed like way too much, it's a damn big game with a lot of moving parts to keep track of Then they drop a DLC that includes the rise of the Shogunate of Japan and suddenly a very specific weeb part of my brain wants to learn 🤔

Almost everyone I know is sick right now. They’ve got a “bad flu” or a “nasty stomach bug”. Almost no one will utter the word Covid. It’s not too late to start wearing a mask. It’s a great way to practice community care while keeping yourself healthy. Ideally an N95 or better!

It's been a heavy week, likely to only get rougher as the year comes to a close, so I needed a little comfort watching for gamedev night Nimona was the obvious choice 💗 Punk, queer, validating, heatbreaking but full of hope. It never gets old, never loses its power ...it's also a kaiju film 🦖🏳️‍🌈

Tarantino is unable to comprehend the value of actors performances because he is only able to create stories from the position of voyeur, not auteur. His films are entirely assembled from moments he has experienced as a cinema audience member- not as a human being.

Australia’s premier dykepunk band DOWNGIRL is so back

This is a perfect example of the difference between trans inclusion and trans exploitation Inclusion is showing trans folks exist as part of the world, normalising that we exist Transploitation is making every single thing the trans person exists to be is a discussion of their struggles

CIS PEOPLE PRO TIP If you discuss trans issues/transphobia problems and such as I do, that's cool and good. If you have trans friends, they do not want to discuss this shit 24/7 or hear you yammer about it. They have to live with oppression. Their being trans is merely one facet of their human exp

At about $60K that's about 128 million graduate team indie games, at $150K about 500,000 small indie games, at $300K about 250,000 mid-size debut indie games, or at around $950K about 110,000 indie games by a team of more experienced devs. There are a total of 110,000 indie games on Steam.

I'm so tired man. I need you cis people to understand this. Rachel Levine did everything right. Legal name change. Legal sex update. So professional and accomplished she got SENATE APPROVAL as an open trans woman. There's nothing we can do that they won't ignore to hurt us. So don't let them.
