Announcing Big Bad Game-a-thon 10! We've been doing this for 10 years now, gracious me. BBG 2026 will take place September 25-27! Submissions will, as usual, be open the entire month of July. So you've got about a month to start brainstorming. More info on our website bigbadgameathon.com

One day, some commentary YouTuber is gonna stumble into the Mormon cinematic universe and discover a goldmine of content

Everyone knows about the whole "queer people walk faster in june" bit but what they don't tell you is we also build meter faster in june and get access to hidden supers like the Shun-Woku-Satsu

I'm officially giving myself the day to do nothing important.

Are games art you goddamn right they are

I made people race sylvie lime during the @kusogrande.bsky.social tournament hosted by @brossentia.bsky.social ! Rewind at www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2kE... or on brossentia's twitch

PSA: Bluesky's new auto-tagging moderation stuff is a disaster. Disable it. Go into Settings on the Bluesky site and enable adult content and set everything to Warn at most, which makes posts opt-in. Hide just vanishes posts. Then go into Advanced/Bluesky Mod Service and do the same on everything.

He has so much health

I love the variety of characters in One Piece: Stretchy boy Reindeer "Sho-do-do-do-do-do!" He has two elbows on each arm?? Nerdy general lady Spoon on his cheek Children, but BIG Giant, but SMALL Spider butt man

Dreamed I performed an improv musical number in high school and impressed EVERYONE. Then the school got bombed, but we found something that worked super well against missiles: cardboard. Soft enough that a missile would go through it, firm enough to catch it in place.

Laughed at this image for 10 entire minutes

I'm very out of it today. Took what I call my "reset pills" yesterday to try to get back to normal when things are too much. Been a good year or so since I've had to do that. Maybe should've done that earlier this year so stress didn't give me shingles lmao

I genuinely don't know how I've made it through the last 12 months. It's just... it's so much.

My sister's baby didn't make it

anyone done this yet

NES development is so dumb. In order to get it to move from the title screen to start the game, I have an invisible copy of the playable wolf DIE when you press start. That then shifts the game into the main game loop.

I don't think people realize just how normalized ritualistic child abuse is in Mormonism. Most kids 8+ years old (and many younger, depending on the family) went 24 hours every month without food or water. Adults also go without food/water for 24 hours, but at least they can decide for themselves.

GM hangouts in @brossentia.bsky.social 's discord for Kusogrande can sometimes produce glorious results, like when a GM finds a game that they know they want to give out, but become so obsessed with the game's 'decisions' that they keep playing, wanting to see more of the absurdity

Okay! Title screen (work in progress) forour NES game, Wild n' Wolfy, is up and working! I want to work on knockback next, then it's time for level design.

Back into the game dev mines! I haven't shown a lot of what's happening with the game since it's mostly been code and stuff, but I expect for visuals to come along significantly next week.

Fun game: name the animal that leaves this footprint

Every time I hear or see something about GDQ, it sends me down a dark place. I want to be happy for you all; I really do. I just can't be right now.

needed to move my piano while on a call and started cackling all of a sudden, had to record this to show why

BTW, when the NES game is finished, I'll likely move on to other game dev projects. It'll be nice to use modern tools, but I think I'm gonna get really into optimization. I actually really, really like working on the assembly level.

NES game making more progress. I've got all the info on the "GET READY" screen tied to variables and updating correctly. Gonna fiddle with physics and collisions, and after that, it's level design time. Not long until the prototype is ready!

I'm so happy with how NES development is coming. I'm at the point where I can write most of my assembly without looking at examples or explanations. Just trying to make it clear enough that I'll understand my code in a year or do

If y'all haven't heard the Roxy cast for Rocky Horror, it has a LOT of the same vibes here. More polished, a little more showy. music.youtube.com/watch?v=wzCe... IMO, the movie is great but is completely different from the originals.

Been working on more transition screen stuff for our NES game as well as the title screen music. Pretty set on the tune, and music theory is coming in clutch for some of these chord progressions - throwing in a III, vi, IV, V, I just to add a little spice 🥏

Thinking about Gniesbert again

I’ve done something terrible

This makes a good point - AI can be dangerous and lead to people making less informed choices - but it also raises a big question: how do we, as people, have conversations that feel genuine? Or, better yet, how do we get people to accept that pushback is good and healthy?

People reuploading "Only in Monroe" with Steven Colbert are claiming CBS is trying to silence him—they're just lying to get views on their channels. Colbert has the video up on his own channel here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJTX...

Alright! Time to sleep. Been an amazing weekend with Kuso matches, and I'm proud of the game dev I've done recently. Gonna get some much needed rest

saw this image and i now want to draw a grumpy lion... so cute lol

the hungry observatory

I love seeing people freaking out about being buried alive on reality TV shows, and I'm just like, "Put me in. Throw in some bugs, too. Let's get WEIRD."

So I finished the game I got for @brossentia.bsky.social 's Kusogrande tournament today and the ending song has to be heard to be believed. Volume warning, ear havers!

OMG, @manguitopandito.bsky.social made me coffee this morning, and it tastes exactly like Honey Smacks

Intense dreams last night. Just wanted to wake up, but I kept waking up into other dreams, some more realistic than others. Did figure out a way to tell if it's a dream - reflections are often very inaccurate

I can't believe I'm developing a real NES game. My childhood self would be over the moon

Just finished Season 50 of Survivor, and wow! With the final crew, it's exactly how I hoped thing would go down (along with accidental spoilers from Jeff Probst that turned into a running joke)

This has honestly been the best week for understanding NES assembly so far. Lots of mysterious rules for how different functions can/can't interact with each other, mostly because of very well known hardware limitations.

BTW, when we get the demo out for our NES game next month, I'm considering doing either a Kickstarter or pre-orders for the game (both physical and digital versions). Would any of you be interested? If so, have a preference?

@fabraz.bsky.social Question! Any chance to request a creator key for Bubsy 4D? No worries if not - I'll just wait until finances permit. Thanks!
