Goddammit, I just figured out how you sell bidets to men.

My take: you shouldn't worry too much about a video game that has "security issues", as long as it's been downloaded from a trustworthy channel and not running with admin rights, which is rarely the case anyway. I feel there's more to this story than Unity are willing to admit. Ignore and move on.

Let me guess; the C-suite thought it could achieve their wildly unrealistic goals and when it just did "well" they panicked. Because growth. Because line must always go up. Then again it's just a hunch, what do I know. ☕ Stay indie.

Life in 2025

I guess a chatgpt enabled fleshlight is *something*. To be fair they didn't say it would be good.

Welfare hasn't been enough to keep me afloat, I still haven't landed a job that I know I can do, and time is definitely running out. Everybody's struggling so I'm not gonna ask for donations, but if anyone needs a freelance programmer or game dev for anything, I'm available! DM me 🤙

Timeline cleanse: I learned to make vegetable curry tonight! And it's FANTASTIC! Almond milk works surprisingly well as a substitute for coconut milk. I'll definitely make more in the future.

I'm gonna save this as inspiration for a dystopian futuristic game I've been slowly working on. I'm not even kidding.

... My heart. PLEASE tell your favorite artists you love their work! They have to know!

EXTRANEUM will be 50% off during the Steam Autumn Sale, from September 29 to October 6! #indiegame #fps #boomershooter #steam

Still working perfectly after almost 2 months. I love it! It now officially lasted longer than the last 3 Logitech keyboards I bought, that were supposed to be just as good. Fuck Logitech, buy Keychron instead lol

Well don't I feel stupid

Their passion eroded so much because of the way tech is being increasingly misused, and were so bummed to be associated with something they hate, that they had no choice but to retire. I feel them. I would have done the same. I'm glad they found a new, more analog, and human way to be creative.

Happy friday night y'all! Trying something new tonight; korean Soju! This stuff has no business being this good. Getting dizzy already~ I need to get more of it. 🍸

Some kind words from Neko Case for y’all.

Our world is cruel - so I'm inventing a kinder one. 🌱

Wow they're really scraping the bottom of the barrel to incentivize people to come back to the office.

So it's finally happened, there are rumors that I used AI on the cover for James Rolfe's new book, Gnome Cave! I did not, and I will never knowingly use AI in any of my work, creative or otherwise. Now I will break down how I painted the cover (useful tutorial maybe??) 1/12

I like to think the military equivalent of "420 blaze it!" is "1620 fire in the hole!"

If you see this QTP with a game that released in the year you were born. Dragon Quest! My all-time favorite JRPG series! Started with the original on NES (Dragon Warrior), conveniently enough. Tough, grindy, and minimalist, but I love it to bits!

To be fair, grandma was extremely floppy when she fell down the stairs.

The message is the same, but the wording changes, which makes all the difference at the end of the day. Just like marketing, when you think about it. "Defund the police", while well meaning, makes people think we want shittier police, when we really mean to put excess funding into other services.

As much as I hate billion dollars corporations, turns out the Jimmy Kimmel thing might have been way bigger than just a matter of a CEO getting their panties in a twist, after all. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SegP...

You can find our games at Boomstock with some sweet discounts!

Time for the BOOMSTOCK EVENT, baby! Extraneum is participating, and will be 50% off until September 26th! Go show those mutant freaks who's the boss!! 🧟💥🔫 store.steampowered.com/sale/boomsto...

TLDR: There seems to be more autistic people now because the criteria for a diagnostic changed. Back in the 60s, those with Asperger's were just called weirdos, and didn't "count". The mo' you kno'! ✨ www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0lW...

Excellent article, a must read!

Happy one year anniversary to this banger tweet that got so ridiculously blown out of proportion that it got us 70k wishlists in like a day

Making a new post after acquiring new info. DO NOT JOIN THE BLUESKY BLACKOUT Blackouts have never accomplished anything, and with Bluesky having no ads or monetization, mods would not lose anything from a lack of activity. If anything, it gives them what they want: silence. #blueskyblackout2025

Everyone's talking about Sabrina Carpenter lately for some reason, and I have no idea why. Then again, there's only one musically inclined Carpenter I care about~ www.youtube.com/watch?v=er41...

Isn't that the plot of Fallout 4?

I mean

So I've heard there's another rapture alert for tomorrow, right? I hope it's finally for real this time. Like, get your shit together, doomsday preachers!

Not a panacea but @notgdc.io // notgdc.io exists and is nice. #notGDC

Btw, if anybody's thinking of making their own website from scratch; neocities.org allows you to make your own page, but it only supports html (ie. no php or sql). I went with webhostmost.com/free-web-hosting because they have a free 125mb plan if you bring your own domain name.

Welp, I have a website now! It's mostly empty, but it's there and it works, and I have plans for it. In the meantime, enjoy an animated gif of a little bouncy construction sign. davidjalbertgames.ca

actions that will contribute more to pushing against bluesky's censorship than a blackout: -submitting a feedback request -@ing moderation about it -commenting on mods posts about it -making and sharing memes (ex: "i consent!" sticker) -leaving an app store review -just generally posting about it

Watched Hackers (1995) for the first time tonight. It's very funny, although perhaps not in the way the writers intended. It's kitschy, quaint, but really entertaining! Also Lorraine Bracco's performance as Margo was so bad, it looked like a parody. Not sure if it was intentional or not.

Got morbidly curious for a second and went to look how that Player2 AI game jam went, and... oof. They didn't even bother rating the 47 games that were submitted. For a jam with $10,000 in prizes, it's hilariously pathetic. 👌

Still not sure if I want to use it, but this will do for now at least.

Reskeet with your mental state

Four Roman Guys. Did they partner up with Little Caesars?

I see there's more garbage anti-woke steam curators doing the rounds, so instead of paying them any attention, might I suggest following a curator that'll put neat games on your radar? 'cos I'm always updating mine with more goodies: store.steampowered.com/curator/2834...
