Looking forward to Godot: The Hunt for Godot: The Game. We all know what engine this one'll be built with. Yep, you guessed it: Unity.

I don't know if this is a millennial or boomer complaint, but this kind of email makes my skin crawl. We are not friends. Don't talk to me like we're friends.

One thing this article touched on that I think would go a long way is having map pins that vaguely suggest something, the way Elden Ring does. I didn't think of it as accessibility at the time, but I never used the map pins because I couldn't remember what they meant even when I left them myself.

Yakuza 3 had a hostess club minigame.

One of the worst things about doing dev work is that you can do something like go to a website, unsuccessfully try to search, look in the console and see errors, and then somehow leave with a bizarre feeling of personal failure as if you're in some way obligated to fix it yourself.

Absolutely peak Tim Heidecker energy here

Incredible that the rapture is coming just one day after the 30th birthday of kpop superstar Im Nayeon of the powerhouse girl group Twice. Coincidence? Seems unlikely.

I don't want to sound like a "git gud" guy, but I think I'm also in the camp that Silksong was not as hard as Hollow Knight.

One of my favorite things to do is drop paragraphs of way-too-heavy and wildly pessimistic "my political theory of everything" bullshit in the high school pals group chat and then anxiously wait for someone to change the subject because I fear I've ruined everybody's mood.

My least favorite thing about Silksong is how it auto-equips new silk weapons when you get them without really telling you, then when you go to use your special attack at a critical moment in a boss fight, it's not the weapon you think it was going to be and you get smashed.

Damn, I never thought the unaccountable fascist microcosm would somehow be related to the unaccountable fascist macrocosm.

I've been cutting my own hair since covid and I think I'm sort of reverse-learning. I do it just a little worse every time.

My only real criticism of Silksong is the same one I had of Hollow Knight, which is that they should start you off with either the dash or the double jump so that basic movement can actually be fun at the beginning.

Look, societal collapse isn't good, sure, but also Silksong came out, so who's to say whether things are bad overall?

This feels like a Succession plot line.

The cool thing about learning anything about politics or history is the constant feeling that you just kind of Flowers for Algernon'd yourself and ruined your life.

I think there are few difficulty grievances with Silksong that couldn't be resolved with more grinding. It's the built-in difficulty slider of Souls games.

Halo? Fantasy role-play? I'm starting to think Geraldo doesn't even care about accurate genre distinctions!

Genuinely hilarious that one of our best chances at slowing our rapid collapse into fascism is him not showing up at integral moments because he just doesn't really want to. Perhaps his most human trait.

I love watching garbage on Tubi, but sometimes you end up with a whole recommended section called "because you watched Lake Placid 2" and you're like aw man I really screwed this up huh

I hope people understand that the anomaly here aren’t the conditions—the conditions are very typical—the anomaly is that they put a number of documented workers from a high-income country in those conditions. This is how people are treated in custody routinely

I'm finding, as is often the case in games like this, that Silksong is much more manageable when I stop ignoring the special moves just because they cost a resource.

I've been reading One Piece and I keep saving panels I like. I'm just gonna start randomly posting them I think. I'm finding I particularly enjoy cartoonish body horror.

The Saskatoon "starlight tours" writ large.

One thing I like doing is microdosing having a headache. What if you didn't have a headache, but you kind of did. What if you just edged that for a couple days.

the shooter was an online gamer. it's important for newsrooms to understand video games more than ever. that's where i step in. so umamusume: pretty derby (ウマ娘 プリティーダービー) is a gacha horse racing simulator based on real life japanese race horses. in the world of umamusume, anime girls replace horses,

Lowering the flags on 9/11 at the Guantanamo Bay McDonald's for Charlie Kirk is the most dril tweet thing that's ever happened

People like Polis and Shapiro will voluntarily fly flags at half-staff because they want to convey reach-across-the-aisle decorum. They'll expect to receive it back, which they will not, and never do.

"Political violence" is a term that exists to suggest a moral distinction between "violence against politicians" and "violence by politicians" - so that one can be condemned while the other can be normalized. Obviously, no such distinction exists in reality: violence is violence.

must sometimes be incredibly weird to live in the world you spent your life advocating for

Agreed with the Cooler Heads here. This act of political violence may one day soon serve as pretext to justify federal occupation of progressive cities or even unaccountable militias imprisoning people of color without due process at impenetrable, inhumane black sites. Well, I sure hope not!

Watched that far away Charlie Kirk video going around, figured nah he's probably fine. There is a second video and uhhh dont look that up. Probably not fine actually.

What if no one shot JFK and his head just did that.

I first released The Idle Class 7 years ago.

Yet another example of "it was possible to do this with previous technology, but we didn't because it was in bad taste." I increasingly feel that an essential component of this is that people see AI as objective, and I dread the catastrophic consequences that will inevitably rise from that idea.

“With support from a few contractors” …otherwise known as MORE DEVS???? It’s giving “a solo dev and ten of his best friends.”

I'm going to start getting out of crimes by saying actually I was just doing the crimes to show other people that the crimes were bad.

A certain kind of young male charisma exists that I can only describe as "a mom would find this extremely charming," and I think it illustrates the limitations of the English language that there is no word for this.

When The Sleeper Wokes

Somewhere out there is a culture warrior guy whose single issue grievance is about when they briefly added the girl Ninja Turtle in the 90s.

Playing the TMNT Hades clone and trying to imagine myself embodying Michelangelo as a form of mindfulness.

Devlog #19 for South of the March is up! This one's about a new feature (text nodes on the map) and some of the thinking and design process behind it. #gamedev #gamedesign #indiegame #renpy #devlog smallgraygames.itch.io/south-of-the...

Usually I think UX is the most important part of web design, but then I think about how Amazon has possibly the worst website in the world, yet the entire US economy runs on it, so as a counterpoint, maybe nothing matters at all?

One of the duties of a cat is keeping exactly one piece of litter stuck somewhere to their fur at all times.

I've watched over 10 million hours of KPOP content, seen idols repeatedly get asked for "TMI" and say stuff like "I had a cheeseburger for lunch," leaving me asking, how is that TMI, are they stupid? Finally just saw one where "TMI" was translated instead to "fun fact," and it suddenly made sense.

God I hate it when I happen to be injured in a car accident shortly after being flagged down by a woman who was the victim of a domestic violence incident, immediately rendering assistance, and remaining on scene until responding officers arrive to ensure her safety.

I've been reading the One Piece manga after burning out on the anime during Skypiea. I don't know if this is a standard take, but this is a 100% better experience to me.
