This applies to other things in life! Tell the manager at a restaurant that your server was awesome. Leave a great review for that little local business. People are so fast to complain when something bad happens. Be just as quick to praise when it's the opposite. It matters.

One of THE coolest, cleverest visual novels I've played in a long time. Easy recommendation.

Normally this would have been cause for alarm before our production 1:1 but, as I told Adrienne today, "I trust you and your big wrinkled brain" #gamedev

Accidentally set our dinner order for pickup instead of delivery and was being very annoying about having to drive down there (minor inconveniences are the most satisfying to bitch about) but the people in the restaurant were happy to see me so I guess it's ok

Whether your week involves literal or metaphorical clean up, Scrubbin' Trubble wishes you some #MondayMotivation to roll up your sleeves and get it done... SPOTLESS! #indiegame #gamedev #roguelike

Blegh, very tired of this take The problem is not too many games. Not everyone needs to play every game. Not every game SHOULD need to make a huge sales splash. There is a problem with getting games to their audiences. It's a curation, literacy, storefront, scope, and legacy games culture problem.

Man the bots and scammers are just rampant on here

My take on Borderlands 4 is that it didn't need to be an open world. I appreciate the work it must have taken from the team, but I don't think it gains anything from it, and it would have been fine and probably had more engaging areas if they had kept the original world/area format.

hey these are new!

Spirit Halloween has Sinners costumes this year, and I am clapping for Annie's costume being the only one that (currently) has several sizes completely sold out 🕯️May you carry that half as well as Wunmi Mosaku🕯️

I hate when you make a typo ONCE and your browser is like, "Ohhhhh are you looking for Salient Hill? Like when you searched for Salient Hill? The one time? Salient Hill? You meant Salient Hill right? Let me put that in there for you. Autocomplete. Salient Hill. You idiot. You dumb baby. Fuck you."

just learned about the content warning that open Silent Hill f and this feels like it comes from a parallel world where AAA games took on a whole different meaning for "mature" damn. more of this approach please

Submissions to the Experimental Games Showcase at GDC are now OPEN through October 24, 2025! Please send us the weird shit you're working on! More info about the session and where to submit can be found on our NEW website here www.experimentalgamesshowcase.com

I'm looking for a 3D modeler who has worked with Unreal and has immediate availability, with an emphasis on environments and items. This is a paid, short term remote contract for specific assets/material. Please pass along your hourly rate and a link to an easily viewable portfolio! #gamedev

The library is great because you get to experience situations like, "THAT'S the 'viral sensation'? Thank god I didn't pay money for that."

If the world seems miserable and hopeless: - Take a nice hot shower - Eat something - Give a stranger a compliment - Leave a nice comment on an indie creator's work - Watch something you really love - Put away the social media sometimes - Remember you can make it - Remember we can make it together

Shut up this looks so stressful but so fun

As a permalancer: if you are EVER verbally offered ANY kind of promise (a raise, a contract extension, full-time employment), IMMEDIATELY ask for it in writing and be low-key relentless about it. As someone who has been strung along too many times: they can't keep getting away with this.

I really miss rental stores and Red Box for games. (I know GameFly exists, but it doesn't have to convenience and is a subscription model.) I miss being able to spend a few bucks to rent a game for a few days and try it out/play it that way. This is about the new Silent Hill.

41% funded! Thank you all for your generosity! If we get the base goal met, our first stretch goal will have OFF creator and superstar belgian comic book artist Mortis Ghost work on Blanksword with us! Some people thought it was a joke but no, it's for real! Please keep it going!!!

Reminder ⏰ Today is the submission deadline for December’s Wholesome Snack! Please complete your entry by midnight Pacific Time to be considered.

We're down to the last 1.5 hours of the Games for Palestine charity. If you've not yet picked up nearly 400 incredible indie games and experiences, and support a good cause while you're at it, now's your chance

LAST 24 HOURS TO SUPPORT THE CHARITY As we approach the last 24 hours of the Play for Peace: Games for Palestine Charity, I want to share a few thoughts, learnings and thanks for everything these past 10+ months. Charity bundle link: itch.io/b/2979/play-... Thread below⬇️

We're looking for a pixel animator to help season the graves 👀 Unity experience definitely a plus!

guess whose birthday it is today store.steampowered.com/app/2666920/...

We watched Onyx the Fortuitous and the Talisman of Souls last night! We'd never heard of the YouTuber, and I think this character would be too much without the rest of the cast, but holy moly this was fun. Great production, Jeffrey Combs, amazing practical monsters, and a non-binary love interest.

Got a big CD binder to store all my PS4 and 5 discs, and it's very convenient, except for the newly unlocked fear that now instead of losing a single game, I can lose ALL my games at once

God, hear my prayer. Please make the Mangler from The Mangler real, and make it run after people on four metal legs like a large cow.

Yeah okay the Knights of Guinevere pilot is amazing I would die for Frankie I need 10 seasons immediately

This is as good a time as any to remind you that our Kickstarter is ✨in its first week ✨ and in exchange for a preorder of the game and all sorts of neat rewards, you can help us bring our 3-years-in-the-work passion project across the finish line!

BG2 still holds up and I love it, but heavily modded because in the early 2000s the men had three love interest options (grieving widow, murder wife, circus baby), and women had one (insufferable intolerant asshole), which is in keeping with a lot of early gaming

I'm incredibly ecstatic that we reached $100,000 for the Play for Peace: Games for Palestine charity bundle. With just 2 days left to go, please RT and support the bundle, and let's push it as high as we can go!!! Thank you for the support!! Link: itch.io/b/2979/play-...

Watched 28 Years Later It was Uh Hrm

I'm not telling you what to do, but if you REALLY want to be cozy-maxxing, you need to get a stand for your e reader, and one of the remote control page turners, so you can be snug completely wrapped up in your blanket and still keep reading I'm just saying

Great people, great game, great causes... you can't lose

Where is his condemnation of the endless amount of harassment Erika Ishii has received because they're playing the main character in Yotei?

I'm extremely late to the party I'm so sorry but uhhh wow N. K. Jemisin is great???

One of the worst things you can do to your game is make it according to what was a hit for someone else when you're not genuinely hyped for it. You can't duplicate success just because someone else had it with a specific mechanic/art style/genre/whatever. You can't.
