upon further research, i have discovered information that once again has me reminding developers that you do not need a publisher to make a great game and see some kind of financial return on it. just releasing a game and uploading it literally anywhere, you will see more from that than a publisher

the problem with indie games is that there's just too damn many of them to play, and it's too easy to give developers money directly. we need to solve this by culling the definition of "indie game" to a sole 70 titles you've never heard of and making sure that devs get almost no money

just heard maybe the worst pop electronic metal song i've ever heard thanks to @jeffgerstmann.com and his WWE 2K26 video and i think it may have permanently altered my appreciation of hybrid genres

every time i read something advertising AI writing NPC dialogue to devs, i create ten new design documents for arcade games out of spite

lol

They’re saying nobody has ever done a national suicide as beautiful as mine. They say to me, eyes full of tears, “Mr President I’ve never seen a country kill itself as bigly.” And I smiled to myself. Think of that. Killing yourself. I’d do it. Maybe I will do it right now, who’d stop me? I wouldn’t.

They've now killed four people -- three U.S. citizens and a Mexican national. They've shot several more. They've lied about all of them. They haven't shaded the truth. They haven't "misled" us. They've brazenly, knowingly lied while in possession of the evidence disproving their lies.

Yea we should do better where we can, but switching to proton wouldn't have saved you from a ship that's already sinking.

Whenever anyone suggests more "moral" alternatives to necessary (data harvesting) services, they ignore that the only way to stop fascism is by getting rid of the fascism.

i smoked out Dave Lang at a Sony party that i got snuck into 13 years ago

I don't want my music to just be good, I want it to feel inevitable

Everyone has been like "let's unlearn shame" for a decade and never seem to do it. Sorry to be rude but you should actually start unlearning it. There's literally no point to being ashamed

A reminder: if you want to support my work, buying my book is a great way to do that. If you want to read a book about how to get into fighting games, buying my book is also a great way to do that, but if you don't have the $ you can just DL it for free.

i only got one sangle commission yesterday so if you want something, now would be an ideal time to hit me uppie. I've only got 2 styles right now, pink lines bust and my sketchie chibis~ check it out! vgen.co/texture

The fight in the US is “do you think billionaires should be able to do anything they want to you, your family, and your community?” That should clear up a lot. If you’re being forced to use AI at work, don’t you want to fight for a world where that’s a choice? Personal guilt is not what’s at stake.

Friends, today I am establishing "Woke 3". It's like "Woke 1" but actually it's significantly meaner. The true direct sequel to "Woke 1". We don't talk about "Woke 2".

"why do you have to post and repost messages about the BDS boycott every time there's a new game announcement or set of trailers" because there's this weird phenomenon of active forgetting that Microsoft is a tech partner of one of the most heinous crimes against humanity happening on earth today

yes ICE has a lot of money now. thats true. you know what else is true? democrats spent the last 2 decades building the infrastructure that allows ICE to spend that money as quickly and efficiently as possible

this graph is the new silver bullet for liberals. get ready to see this graph over and over for the rest of time because the people posting it dont understand a single thing about how we got here

“We lost all trust,” a current ICE official added. “I’m not sure I can see how we exist three years from now.”

as part of the many rituals i have adopted into my life since trying to cleanse myself of the kind of unhealthy, cyclical internet dependence i (and many of us) had developed over the last few years, i picked up DJing as a hobby two weeks ago and have been having such a great time practicing :)
