Every time I hear Gamescom I think about this stupid thing

RIP Bobby Prince. His music legacy will live on, making inspired music for Commander Keen, Wolfenstein 3D, DOOM, countless others. A true legend. And such a nice man, great musician, wonderful, fun-loving man, nothing but happy memories of him. A loss to the world.

We had a blast taking more photos of the Wolfgang wagon set!

if Epic is getting rid of Blueprint because visual scripting is too difficult for LLMs to work with, that means the games my 9 year old makes in Scratch will be see as the purest form of art

Why did we pass the Gun Control Act in 1968, Li'l Bobby? Specifically, what part of your childhood connects to federal gun control laws? Think REAL HARD, Robert F. Kennedy Junior, about the issue of gun control as it relates to YOUR childhood, SPECIFICALLY. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_Con...

A huge stack of my old BBC Micro and Acorn Electron game development disks plus other utlilities. It includes the source code for Galaforce, Crazee Rider and Galaforce 2. I have archived and shared many of the important ones on GitHub.

at the end of the day, what is point of make art unless shareholder value???

It's not a tool. It's not a teacher. It's not a friend. It's not a servant. It's not a revolution. It's a glorified predictive theft program, it's hugely destructive, and no matter how many times the techbros stamp their feet and shout that it's "not going away," it's not inevitable.

Sometimes you have to wonder… did a famous person fart in the very same plane seat that I’m sitting on?

The more things change...

i don't remember this part in the original?

Krissy just spent $10 on a bag of cherries, got them home and half were rotten. That's 2026 for you: Everything's expensive and nothing is good.

Here's an easter egg in the new Lego Batman that I think all of you will REALLY appreciate. It's so good, I had to make a video.

Me to my 7-year-old: "Did you change Alexa to Alexa+?" Her response: "Alexa plus what?" Good question, kid

Oh it's OK, we had hyperconcentration of income and wealth in the top .1% in the 1920s too and that economy never stopped roaring.

Marilou & I are deeply saddened by the loss of our lifelong friend, Marcia. Not just a gifted, innovative artist, she also happened to be a genuinely nice person. Smart, funny, & just plain fun to be around. Thankfully, her memory lives on and we will never stop missing her. shorturl.at/wx6BV

My heart goes out to my many friends across the ocean that may be seeing the same temperature as me on the thermometer but don't have the cosiness of a ridiculously overinsulated Canadian home that I do

It is with enormous joy that I announce that with $5534.56 raised (and a bit more to come!), #ArvCon2026 concludes having again met its goal to support @damonrunyon.org! I'll have a more detailed set of thank yous in a few days, but until then: thank you so much to everyone who made this possible!

I am terribly disappointed... Ysanne Isard would NEVER have gone out this way...

Dear cozy game devs who keep putting survival elements in the happy cutes... THERE IS NOTHING COZY ABOUT STRUGGLING TO LIVE 😭

The scene 🔜 The shot. Slowly motoring in the fjord on a still morning. The majority of icebergs had congregated near the head of the fjord. All but one berg. Getting closer I could foresee the shot I wanted and finally with everything looking about right I shot the second image. One of my favs...

Grogu is not an innocent baby he is a 50 YEAR OLD MAN who is gaslighting “Mandalorian” and also YOU, making everyone believe he is sweetness and love. No!! He’s a manipulative middle aged sociopath. He wants power and YOU are giving it to him!!! Also he smells like old liverwurst.

I have a Super Nintendo ad from the 90s that features Star Fox as the first Super FX chip game, and inside, it has instructions to cut out and create a paper Arwing. Here's the first set of scans:

The Albertans who are/were so concerned about election integrity that they got rid of vote tabulators and are having a referendum on voter photo ID, seem much less concerned about the breach of the voters list.

I realize I've been posting politics more than usual but my home is under attack by external powers and I can't see a path forward that results in a peaceful resolution: www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/b7f36e1...

Highly disagree w this note i saw. Mother's Day is -at least- a 6 out of 10 holiday. Maybe 7.

Say it with me now: "Every accusation is a confession."

Took about a year, but I finished my cross-stitch tribute to the class Amiga Deluxe Paint King Tut. It’s 180x200 stitches, about 34,000 non-black tiny thread X’s 🙂 #NerdStitch

Anytime you feel down on yourself, remember: at least you’ve never doxxed a whole province ❤️

49 months and 49 games later, the Apogee Quest is complete! I had a (mostly) great time going through the games of my childhood and playing through the few that I'd never before experienced. My heartfelt thanks to Scott Miller and everyone involved with Apogee Software back in the 20th century.

People still remember and talk about Steve Moraff's games because he did his own art. I doubt that's gonna be the case for any single-person developed game with genAI art.
