The Holy See has finally purchased Final Fantasy XIV

Perfect in a fucked-up way. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKCE...

Little nightcap tonight. Heated some cran+apple juice, added cinnamon and fireball (yes, separately, because I am a maniac). Drinking at home is one of those things I'm exceedingly careful with anymore but all I really want is something gentle. It was, in fact, that.

I’ve got a really riotous idea: if you miss the way that the internet felt when things were better, have you considered that you can make something new, with love for what was? The future is in your hands.

Spring Red Bull is excellent this year

depression hittin so bad I'm skipping through time. always a crazy sensation, it was 10pm like five minutes ago

Time flies when you're having fun. Check out the new logo for dG's fifth anniversary, designed by Noisivy! You'll begin to see this on a lot of this year's releases, starting with AUDIOVISUA V1.

Last day of my workweek after a really wild couple of days. Tomorrow I can hit the road and just take some photos, man. I need it so badly.

I’m ok :)

@ntt.desktopgeneration.com Discord not working on hospital WiFi. Surgery within two hrs. Minor but necessary

I’m spending tonight in the hospital (not life threatening this time!) and I am beginning to go stir crazy. About to have an hour long ambulance ride to another hospital for surgery.

Hey so we just announced SPRAWL zero, a new FPS that we've been working really hard on. Inspired by classics like Bungie's Halo and Marathon, as well as Half Life 2 and anime from the era, this is our love letter to the golden years of FPS. Wishlists would rule <3 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ju0r...

Alex is a dear friend of dG, and we're proud to have worked alongside him on Roman Sands RE:Build! This #nextfest, be sure to check out the next game he's worked on. :~) -AB

On Itch too! rustltd.itch.io/dunderbeck/d...

Hello #Nextfest! With the new @dunderbeckgame.com demo live on Steam it is time at last to unveil the new key art by me! I'm so proud to be able to finally share this image with you. Please go and check out the demo, wishlist, review! store.steampowered.com/app/2477750

hi, I worked in indie games for 10 years and sorry, they're also burning down. you just don't hear about it because it doesn't make the news when a studio of 19 lays off 7, even when it's 200 small studios doing that

Still in the process of finding out how to best rework Patreon tiers, but in the meantime- everyone gets these + Cyberworks 3. Happy trails.

Project files for Sacrificial & Well of all Souls are now available on the dG Patreon. patreon.com/desktopgener...

Kind of at a point where I'm willing to just take on wild amounts of debt on the condition that I can live a life where I don't actively want to leave the world behind b/c of it

Really fantastic playlist thus far tonight

merch work eating me alive but I'm having a blast, so

Readying some deskmat conversions of deskGen (and my personal) pieces. If you’ve got any requests please let me know and I’ll see if I can pull from source files.

Unreal Tournament 2004 is now available for free. ...well, I mean, you probably could've grabbed a GOG offline installer out the back of a truck earlier, but NOW it's Official/Legally Free and has the in-development community patch packed in for ongoing support. www.oldunreal.com/downloads/ut...

Thankful for a lot of people today. Sent in the right direction and accelerating a lot of merchandise plans, have had some money thrown our way that buys another month of time too.

speaking of, here's one you can help out right now just by buying cool imagery deer.social/profile/did:...

hey folks, DG has been a huge inspiration and it'd be cool to see it stick around for quite a long time. It's a great group of folks and sites, and if you can throw a couple bucks at the patreon et al I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

A longer post on this, from the Discord. -AB

I've ended up losing a pretty critical monthly retainer. Things aren't dire yet, but I'm taking a few moves to be sure they don't get there (esp. b/c this was how I funded dG). If you'd like to pick up something from our Itch store right now I'd love you forever. Thanks! desktopgeneration.itch.io

Raw 3D.

Children (Robert Miles) becoming a “uhh, early 2000s!” song on Instagram reels should probably sadden me, but also? I’m just happy that more people can be introduced to one of the most beautiful songs ever written. It immediately puts me at peace no matter what I’m experiencing. Genuinely wonderful.

RETRACING MY STEPS [ @flatbeek.bsky.social x @ntt.desktopgeneration.com ] Trying to remember.

There are few downsides to my job. One of them is the perpetual availability of Dots, which is the most dangerous candy in the world and I should not be allowed near it.

There's a local pizza joint that def used AI to put their website together and the visual dissonance is so, so funny to me. This website should be trying to steal Bitcoin, not selling me pizza.

tC time : )

A reminder for those of you who are new around here that I have not one, not two, but *three* art books published over @ www.blurb.com/user/JamesRuic, as well as the excellent Emotional Abstracts from @yazan.desktopgeneration.com, which I served as editor on. Check 'em out, y'all. :~)

Heading to the dealership to maybe buy a car today. Mildly anxious, but I also really hope this works out.

Need to get back to marketing deskgen.net. Which is, if you are curious, a place where it is a good day to post.

toothache's keepin' me up tonight instead of the sound of snow plows. my insurance runs out in... 5 days. hmm.

figured I should post some pictures here seeing as I'm now a Certified Photographer™ Chicago 2024 Ilford HP5+

maybe

years and years of avoiding plain language and the active voice do make the choice to use it more impactful, I suppose
