Parents, please check your kids’ candy this Halloween. I’ve just found an ancient metal whistle with the inscription “QUIS EST ISTE QUI VENIT" inside a Snickers bar. I blew it and heard a note of infinite distance, and now I’m haunted by a figure in pale, fluttering draperies. Be safe.

Today is my 40th birthday! To celebrate, please help me introduce Post Games to someone who will enjoy the show. Some helpful options: + Share an episode you like on social! + Tell your group chat or favorite Discord! + Start a forum/Reddit thread! + Write a review on Apple Podcasts!

Timothy Cain's videos are all worth watching, but this one in particular landed just right for me. Knowing how the cost of the ""same"" feature scales relative to the expectations of the rest of the game is so important. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lIU...

Incredible period in game dev, gonna devour this series www.filfre.net/2019/01/life...

Love this kind of stuff, and the expressive power and controlled chaos from simulations. Letting the player in on the rules of the world and seeing what happens.

Looks like I'm looking for work. If anyone out there happens to have a lead or principal level design gig in Austin or remote, I'm all ears.

Hello, have you remembered to buy a copy of Mind Diver today? Only if you buy one copy every day for 100 days will you unlock the true ending (unlocking the gatling gun)

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

I'm looking for experts on the history of video game creepypasta. They can be streamers, YouTube essayists, academics, historians, journalists, anything. All recs are appreciated!

In space, death is contagious. When we die, the Scarabs decontaminate our ships and lay us to rest. But when Dalia gets cleanup request from her childhood home, she finds something she’s never seen before: a contamination that doesn’t want to be cleaned. This is Ambrosia Sky.

Really enjoyed the pilot. Some cool world building and characters in the. Can't wait to see more.

Kitfox asked me for a few screenshots of forts with ascii enabled. From what I can tell the gate fold of the record is using these two screenshots of the fortress head punch! Happy to help honestly. The question is. Did they add any other additions.. More inspections will have to happen.

Do you think unbending Clippy until he was a long piece of metal would be painful for him. Or do you think it would cause him to feel a great sense of relief

what a humiliating way for don jr. to find out his dad sends birthday cards.

I've seen estimates that it takes a team three tries to learn to work cohesively and start really cooking. When's the last time you got to work with the same people on three projects from start to finish? Mine was Harmonix. In 2009.

Instead of laying off developers, Keywords subsidiary High Voltage had them make an original game! "Losing a creative employee...is expensive. You will inevitably have to spend more to get the same level of competence, and no matter how much you pay, you will usually lose invaluable experience."

I have a new hero.

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

this is why I pay for photoshop

Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”

So yeah, if you're in the Austin area, follow @thesecretlantern.bsky.social we're doing really neat things.

Making them wear high-visibility vests over camo is such a good joke you couldn’t write it

If you're not watching a live stream of a century old church serenely move through the Swedish countryside, what are you doing with your Tuesday?

You ‘run the gamut’ and ‘run the gauntlet.’ You don’t ‘run the gambit.’ gamut = entire range or series gauntlet = severe trial Gambit = Alpha-level mutant who can convert potential energy to kinetic energy

I can stand by this list.

Nothing to see here. Just Tesla deactivating a Cybertruck in the middle of a freeway because the owner used HIS vehicle in a music video.

@plante.bsky.social Definitely think this should be touched on in a Besties/Resties. Super cool synth/soundtrack building mechanics in a quite fun action RPG from my fav synth youtuber. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsFx...

I mistook Amy Madigan in Weapons for Holly Hunter at first, then did some digging and learned I could get a nice side by side comparison in Roe vs Wade.

Vaccination against measles stops kids getting sick and slowly but surely can eradicate the disease worldwide… Focusing on “treating” measles allows it to run rampant and create multibillion dollar businesses that make money keeping your sick kids dependent on them.

hire them folks

I will admit, the lawyer is super supportive and said that I did a damn good job in negotiating the lease. So yay? I guess. If you wanna know how to support us. Every bit helps www.thesecretlantern.com/support-us
