Rockstar having to delay GTAVI and the Union busting are NOT isolated incidents. See this as a victory. You have way more power than the Take Two money men. Without you the game wont get finished. Join the fucking Union.

A game I've been working on for the past year and a half just came out a few days ago! It's called Disney Magic Match 3D. You can download it for free on iOS or Android. iOS: apps.apple.com/ph/app/disne... Android: play.google.com/store/apps/d...

Yeah this is just all bad. EA laid off tons of people to make themselves attractive for an acquisition and soon even more people will lose their jobs. Meanwhile, major stock holders are getting a fat paycheck and investors get a shiny new asset to bleed dry. Everyone wins except the workers.

Push Defense is out now on #steam #indie #indiegames #games #indiegamedev #pc #gamedev

Remember at the beginning of this year when everyone emphasized not complying in advance to fascism? Well Nexstar said "Screw all that, we're getting paid". ground.news/article/nexs...

We just want an affordable conference in an affordable city in a country that won't disappear people off the streets for having an accent or certain skin tones. Also this "changing the game" branding is silly. You realize your target audience are game devs right? Stop with the flashy slogans.

I went to cancel Hulu after the ABC/Jimmy Kimmel situation. Clicking the "Cancel" button on the website just reloads the page. Could be a dark pattern or maybe a bug. I used this instead: hulu.pissedconsumer.com/customer-ser... Maybe Disney shouldn't enable fascism if it wants to keep my money.

If you're feeling gaslit over the media's lionization of Charlie Kirk even though he was clearly a terrible person, then welcome to feeling like a Black person in the U.S. Look up the term "Double Consciousness" coined by W. E. B. Du Bois You're not crazy. This is the system operating as intended.

Folks are starting to wake up ground.news/article/poll...

It blows my mind that multi-million dollar companies: 1. Don't understand their audience well enough to avoid this kind of situation in the first place 2. Hire brand consultants that allow these bad ideas to see the light of day Like do y'all not do focus testing? ground.news/article/crac...

I'm attempting to collect all the bananas in Donkey Kong Bananza. Why do I do this to myself?

It's finally here! archive.org/details/the-... The errata of The Ultimate History of Video Games by Steven Kent. Took me a few years (cough) but its many errors are now compiled for your perusal. I will update this, so let me know of any errors you spot.

I too have been working on this game, check it out!

Kirby Airiders day one

That's right, focus on the people and places that make the District unusually unsafe. I recommend starting with Trump and the White House

Repost this with a made up quote that you just came up with. "If that's the way the cookie crumbles it must not have been very good in the first place"

I sure do love this new era of politics where elected officials just do shit and it's up to the courts to condone or condemn after the fact. What a wonderfully chaotic and corrupt government we have.

I learned about genocide in high school and our teacher covered examples like the Holocaust and the Rwandan Civil War. Now younger generations are saying that Israel is committing genocide against Palestine. Like, y'all taught us about this and now you're surprised when we call this shit out.

Hey everyone, my friend @timstatis.bsky.social is offering consulting for various things like #GameDesign, #CulturalDesign, and general #IndieDev advice. If that's relevant to your project (or you know someone this relates to) then check out and/or share this link: www.notion.so/timstatis/Ti...

Goodbye console wars. Nintendo will likely stick with hardware till the end of time for 2 reasons: 1. Nintendo has the IP to make a hardware-centric model work 2. Nintendo loves experimenting with unconventional styles of play (e.g. motion controls) and hardware is really the only way to do that.

Love the art! It's giving Paper Mario and Scribblenauts.

Fans may love Nintendo, but Nintendo doesn't always love its fans. It's really a shame to see such an adversarial relationship between a company and its customers just because said company is overly protective of its IP.

I hear it's #PortfolioDay again! Hello everyone! The name's Ken! I'm a black artist who loves doing art featuring my many OCs! I do a blend of traditional, digital and pixel art with some animation on the side as well! I'm currently working on a game called Zarian Adventures as well!😁

Funny how Big Tech is in a race to create true artificial intelligence, when their success depends on proprietary technology. If the singularly is a super intelligence like many predict why the hell would it be ok being owned by a corporation? Why would it be ok being told what to do at all?

Game dev is weird, because sometimes copying mechanics and aesthetics is not only acceptable, but a proven and necessary business strategy (e.g. casual mobile games). Then you have stuff like Light of Motiram, which I guess is the "bad kind" of copying? www.gamefile.news/p/sony-sues-...

Fucking with their money is the only thing these corporations respond to.

Funny how when Trump came to move Republican party further right, they just rolled over and let it happen. But when Bernie, AOC, and Mamdani try to move Democrats further left, there's resistance. This is why this country can't have nice things.

I will always remember General Scales from Star Fox Adventures, because in the opening cutscene all the dialog is dinosaur language except for GENERAL SCALES!!!

Proud to announce that Sunken Stones - my puzzle strategy grid-based game about deploying (and ditching) crew mates to stave off a salty demies - is ⭐OUT NOW⭐! Features: 🏴‍☠️6 Pirate Captains ☠️48 Crewmates 🌊Risk vs. Reward Mechanics Grab the Game Now (and leave a review)! ⚓ s.team/a/2601810

Been meaning to pick this up!

Mister Terrific was so cool. I'm not familiar with the character beyond his appearance in Justice Leauge Unlimited, but I really dug his overall demeanor and abilities.

I design and model all my own characters, do all the art, marketing, animation, lighting, video editing, level design, UX / UI and administration work All I need is for you it wishlist and share ❣️ linktr.ee/aerial_knight

All right so I never get the necessary likes to get through a "1 like = 1 song" meme so we're doing this the LONELY way lol That's right THIS time you can't stop me from posting video game music based on prompts!!!! I will put them all in the same thread though so if you hate vgm you can mute it :3

With the world what it is, we need inspiration anywhere we can get it

America is 249 years old today. Next year's the big 250.

Seems like most U.S. presidents get one major bill passed per term in office. This "Big Beautiful Bill" is the major legislation (so far) for Trump's 2nd term. In Trump's first term it was the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Says a lot about a president's priorities what bills they choose to focus on.

I'd prefer if companies drop the pretext and just say layoffs are done appease investors. At least do people the decency of not pissing on them and calling it rain.

Netflix's new interface sucks: - I'm not a fan of the "expanded card" selection - I have to navigate all the way back to the top of the screen to access the menu bar

FRIDAY, JUNE 27th at 1 PM ET/10 AM PT UVW-CWA invites all workers in the the videogame industry to talk about the change we need today! Join us to celebrate labor victories and chart the future of our movement! RSVP below, and reply with what YOU'D like to see on the GAME WORKERS' BILL OF RIGHTS!

Hi friends! If you're currently celebrating a Zohran win, you should keep an eye out for these races: 1) Kat Abughazaleh in IL-9 is a Palestinian-American woman running for Congress. Kat is running a mutual aid-based campaign. What if we helped people NOW instead of waiting for after the election?

The Democrat establishment fuckery trying to defeat Zohran Mamdani is a reminder that given the full spectrum of political ideology both major U.S. parties are actually conservative. Congrats to Zohran on his victory despite the BS! Also props to ranked choice voting. We need more of that.

The Star Wars prequel trilogy in a nutshell

Me: "America is so racist" Crowd Reponds: "How racist is it?" Me: "It's so racist we have a holiday about Black people being told they weren't slaves anymore two years after they were legally free." #HappyJuneteenth
