A demo of Hungry Huey, a juicy puzzle game for Game Boy Color, is out NOW! nielsderijk.itch.io/hungry-huey Go play it (I'd love to hear what you think)!

this is extremely funny in retrospect

Why is it called Donkey Kong Bananza and not Red Faction Gorilla?

Apple released new Replay All Time playlists showing off just how clueless they are these days. 7 of my top 10 tracks is stuff I’ve never even heard of and all 7 have a play count of 0 as shown in their own UI. Stop vibe coding and do some actual work for the money I’m (currently still) giving you!

Like it or not, I’ll pirate the original releases out of spite and help others do the same.

It is really really sinking in for me the degree to which LLMs are the ultimate expression of right wing anti-intellectualism. Its proponents are literally mocking the idea that anyone would ever want to learn anything, know anything, develop any actual skill, or have a thought of their own.

💥 Season Two is OUT NOW! Grab your Playdate and check out the games premiering today. LET'S DO THIS (You can get S2 here: play.date/s2)

To anyone who wondered in here via OutRun I’ve got other Game Boy games too. Some more racers (I really like HeroGP), a Spelunky-like for Retro Gamers (Cave Dave), and more! Here! -> itch.io/c/439443/egv... Tell your Mom! (Or just RT) #pixelart #indiedev #gameboy #RETROGAMING

Out and about

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but 2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but 3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So 4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

We annoyingly shouted down NFT people and NFTs died. We annoyingly shouted down ai people and their stranglehold is beginning to crumble. I’m not going to ignore the crooks and the creeps to benefit your sense of “peace.”

Officially announcing my next game, #HELLEVATOR coming to #playdate this year! #gamedev #indiegame #roguelike

Thanks BBC News but if I want hallucinations in my news, I’ll just put LSD in my morning coffee.

AI is a prejudice replication machine. Bog body is found, without a head. So, no idea about hair colour. Enter AI: It's in Ireland, so it must be a readhead. @archaeologynews.bsky.social: you should stop using this.

What’d she do? Return a Tesla?

AI slop is like microplastics but for data. Good luck ever getting that out of the system. What do you think when you see a picture of a hand with 6 fingers? AI? Guess what’s living right inside your skull.

BREAKING: Sam Altman has yet to talk to a thoughtful person.

Bluesky needs an edit button.

Thinking about buying Down the Oubliette or Sketch, Share, Solve on itch.io? Why not buy this bundle instead and get a ton of other games as well! #playdate itch.io/b/2863/calif...

Fuck cis people. They will always see us as a debate topic and nothing else.

HUGE news today: 🍺 Root Bear update is out, with all-new game modes, music, global scoreboards. It's the game of the beer! play.date/games/root-b...

Sometimes you spent days on something and then realize that probably nobody will ever notice the difference.

Before anyone thinks I’ve disappeared, I have put a lot of work into 123 BOTS after the demo but it’s features with placeholder graphics, mechanics that don’t make sense out of context, and a lot that I don’t want to reveal just yet. I hope to have updates soon but it’s just not ready to show yet. 😬

Playdate devs! I'm hosting a game jam to create a game based on my unfinished dungeon crawler, a screenshot of which has haunted the Playdate website for years. itch.io/jam/unfinish...

There’s a new Nonogram game on the #playdate. For everyone who’s finished Sketch, Share, Solve years ago it’s an opportunity to get more puzzles and for me it’s the first time I can play a Nonogram game on Playdate without constantly thinking about implementation details. play.date/games/grid-g...

You are absolutely, positively, truly not prepared for how the clock mechanics of Parliament keep Big Ben's time accurate…! And on that note, Happy New Year, friends! See you in 2025. 🎉

I’ve played a lot of Puyo Puyo and Dr. Mario over the last year and a half and kept thinking it would be nice for the Playdate to have one of those. Now, I know there’s clones but I wanted something more tailored to the Playdate. Familiar in the rough outline but different in the details.
