The Independent Workers’ Union of Great Britain has asked a judge to grant the fired GTA 6 developers interim relief at a preliminary employment tribunal hearing while Rockstar Games denies a number of points made by the union. https://bit.ly/4bkXRtY

carmack is such an incredibly stupid guy. i used to think he was a genius at one thing and dumb as rocks at everything else, but i now realise he was only ever a garden variety fuckwit with the luxury of spending immense amounts of time on his interests and the vacuousness to hold only one at a time

Went to Lux Helsinki yesterday and they had this really cool mycelium made out of optic fiber cables

accidentally introduced a bug to the game where all the text got replaced with "you"

In short, every shithead you don't ban costs you ten other customers. "A [potentially regular] customer doesn't say anything but never comes back" doesn't register with you as An Event the way that kicking someone out (temporarily or permanently) does, so it's extremely easy to miss it.

Synopsis: You need to kick more people out. You will actually have a larger base of customers/attendees if you kick more people out. You will make more money. I am dead serious.

I spent an excessive number of years moderating a gaming forum and I learned a great deal about community spaces and cultivation, whether I wanted to or not. I have critical advice for anyone who runs a game store or gaming convention. Please share this thread with people who run those things.

Oh yeah this review gets me <3

In case you missed it, BIG HOPS is coming out January 12th on Steam, Switch, and PS5! #indiegames #nintendoswitch #ps5

Recreated a video i saw a few years ago (if anyone has it please share)

super thrilled to finally release Quake Brutalist Jam 3! an absolutely insane amount of work was put into this pack, so much so that we decided to put together a standalone release, no purchase of Quake required! www.slipseer.com/index.php?re...

The third Quake Brutalism Jam - launched last night. Largest community project of its kind. The biggest surprise: It's available both as a mod or as a FULLY STANDALONE FREE GAME. 77 one-shot Quake adventures using a whole new set of weapons, enemies and a whole lot of concrete. qbj3.slipseer.com

Sheep dog n' wolf/sheep rsider is one of the best looking ps1 games hands down, it almost looks like a low poly wind waker. Great vertex shadowing and strip texturing

Quake Brutalism Jam 3 is out now! I made a map for this!! www.slipseer.com/index.php?re...

if your new year's resolution happens to include 'rescue more talking cats' or 'perform more slapstick violence on unwitting space pirates', I have great news for your highly specific self: Skin Deep is still on sale for a few more days store.steampowered.com/app/301280/S...

i have a new hobby i made up where i look at hundreds of ancient stock photo cdroms from archive .org and try to find cool shit in them. ill post more later but for now these are "tonights picks"

In September, we connected @johnjoemcbob.com of @veryevildemons.com with Kenji at Design & Creative Centre Kobe, hosts of Kobe's @unesco.org City of Design designation to chat all things design and visit some of Kobe's key design sites! 📸 Courtesy of Matthew Cormack + Kenji Kondo.

i have a plan. we gotta send balloon boy into area 51. they won't bat an eye because they'll think he's one of their aliens coming in for a landing. and all the guards will be distracted trying to find balloon boy because this time they assume he's just hiding again, when he really IS in the balloon

I'm still not over it whenever I see the "the government is pushing electrification to control you by controlling the grid" conspiracy. Like generating your own electricity is easier than it's ever been but refining your own fossil fuels is impossible

This is the energy I want to bring into 2006

Happy tenth anniversary to photographer Joel Goodman’s classic image which by rights should be hanging in the Louvre.

I'm only RETVRN TO THE OLDE WAYS about a few things and this is one of them

no fruit has ever benefitted as much from the advent of refridgeration as the humble apple. leave one in a fruitbowl for a week and it'll start going wrinkly but a month in a fridge and it's still juicy and incredible. that's apples

I am begging games writers in 2026 to stop talking about point and click like it's a dead/dormant genre currently being resurrected by whatever thing you've just noticed

It's really interesting to see how dark patterns started as actual strategies backed by (evil) research but through two decades of reuse became this weird cargo cult marketing scheme where people just imagine that the money extracted from users scales linearly with how many pop ups you show them.

"Pigsy" has been hard at work this year on his adaptation/rework of #Castlevania Symphony of the Night to the #Sega Mega Drive / #Genesis And the results have been superb so far Full vid + download link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoPp... #homebrew #retro #gamedev #gaming #indiedev #retrogaming #PS1

My last PC Gamer piece for 2025 just went live! Silksong might be the juggernaut that everyone's talking about, but if you like your platformers full of exploration, here's six alternatives (one of them free!) that each do something different with the formula.

membly scrimplus to all observers

The confusion and conflation of ‘generative ai that is built on stolen artwork’ and ‘machine learning, character behaviour modelling and proc gen’ is intentional on the part of the grifters peddling the former. They benefit from murkiness of classification, because the latter predates their bollocks

Forklift Load ($2.39) - for overlapping circles of "shenmue fan", "nier automata fan" and "euro truck simulator fan". you're an AI forklift in a world where humanity has disappeared. help others while puzzling over this serene world. (PLAY WITH A CONTROLLER!) store.steampowered.com/app/1392490/...

Were classical statues painted horribly? buff.ly/fS78ULM It is often suggested that modern viewers dislike painted reconstructions of Greek and Roman statues because our taste differs from that of the ancients. This essay proposes an alternative explanation.

knuckle will rip your guts out and vomit acid all over your face but we love him. the idea is basically "a bullsquid: isolation" over like 10-15 minutes of game. totally might not get done though. whatever right!

bc on holiday and my mind doesn't let me relax unless working on something, i'm doin a real small half-life game with @coolgoblinzone.bsky.social and @gmad.bsky.social. that it is not something i could profit from should stop me approaching it the wrong way (stressfully). here's knuckle the squid

btw: windows users: wincompose.info linux users: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compose... put away those alt codes and put that caps lock key to work. thank me later

Anyway. This is the gaming industry's consumer base's view on a technology that a bunch of people in the industry insist relentlessly is "here to stay" and we "have to accept"

Something lovely for the weekend! A 1,800 year-old Roman glass flask shaped like a mouse! Squeak squeak! 🐭❤️ 📷 by me www.metmuseum.org/art/collecti... #Archaeology
