Proud that I was able to resist jumping into the comments of this Steam review to spread the gospel of 2Fort and CTF-Face. It would probably be the most important discourse in gaming right now.

Stop posting stuff from X over here I'm here because I don't want to see that shit

Shout out to all the gamedevs who put their heart & soul into cutscenes but are also empathetic towards sickos like me, the ones who break into a cold sweat when they are 250ms into a cinematic and haven't seen the word "skip" yet.

Crushed to read the news that Tony Stella has passed, a truly phenomenal and prolific artist, one of my absolute favorites

Woodcut from La Petit Histoire Bretonne ‘On the Open Sea’ Rene Quillivic, 1921

this is fucking unreal stuff from Noah Wyle on the magic of The Pitt. www.gq.com/story/noah-w...

Went to a neighborhood music video sharing party last night. Here are my highlights, as superlatives BEST NEW-TO-ME MUSIC VIDEO "Charmer" by Aimee Mann www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcpX... (directed by Tom Scharpling!!) 1/?

“A whole civilization will die tonight” is the most vile thing a US president has ever said, certainly during the post-1945 era when they’ve had the power to kill civilizations with the dropping of a bomb. I’m staring into the darkness. May this not be one of the most fateful days in human history.

modern rpgs: you need a 20 min opening cutscene or you won't be into it XCom: aliens invaded, you're up, Commander, good luck and all that

Also never forget that Mookie Wilson's belief that dinosaurs believed in him helped him get out of slumps.

brb, adding a new level to my old cozy match-3 game which features all the sordid details and texts from a bad breakup in college

there is something wrong with my computer. this clip won't stop playing no matter what i do

It's my birthday, you should wishlist my game 🙂 -- #StarSpark is a turn-based fighting game in which you battle your way through a roguelite survival tournament using real time combos and a deck made of attack, defense, and support skills. 🌟 s.team/a/3639950 #GameDev #IndieGame #PixelArt #Godot

DUNE II - Reimagined behance.net/gallery/1020... Since we're talking popular work, then I must share my redesign from 2020 - a love letter to the world of #Dune and a seminal console RTS, dear to my heart The Team: Arvy - Project Lead, #UI Bohdan Sereda - Composer, SFX Marina Nechaeva - 3D Art

Noel's book lists are *outstanding*. I look forward to them each year and put three holds on books at the library just after skimming this

AGENT ASHCROFT? WELL HOW THE HELL ARE YOU? UMBRELLA? GOOD IDEA, YOU NEVER KNOW WITH THIS WEATHER.

It's Bandcamp Friday! Today's purchase - the complete IOTO discography. Sublime electronic space ambience that's layered to go beyond just soothing vibes. "Dea Omnium" was my entrypoint - still gives me chills even after so many listens iotomusic.bandcamp.com/track/dea-om...

I am loving Slay the Spire 2. My favorite change so far is the boss relic overhaul. Much less focus on energy relics which opens up all kinds of interesting deckbuilding decision space. I suspect they worked backwards from that constraint, reworking many card designs to accommodate it

Happy Agents of Mystery Season 2 Day to everyone who celebrates! Everyone else - season 1 is a delight, a charming massive-escape-room-meets-reality-show. It's on Netflix and it's a solid onramp to the joy of Korean reality shows.

After watching so many cross-country skiing events at these Olympics, I've seen this mattress ad Jessie Diggins a million times now Each time I chuckle at this shot of her in bed, reading a no-author, no-tagline book just called "Team USA" like she needs a basic primer despite medalling three times

Purely to amuse myself (and perhaps for the Quaid Army sickos on here), here is "Dear Tina" (audio needed)

It's the final biathlon event and the US broadcast still hasn't figured out how to cut to their trackside reporter. Instead they tee up the handover and then just show the athletes in silence. With the quality of the commentators, this is a real gift and I hope NBC never figures this out

For whatever reason this is how today's US broadcast of the Olympic ski mountaineering finals began: a slow-mo montage of the mascot falling in the snow, no commentary or explanation. The broom that comes in midway through is what really gets me. WHAT DO YOU HAVE AGAINST TINA THE STOAT?!

guns are bad except for when Chow Yun-fat uses them

A small business told me of a data breach from a week ago. Sadly I feel so grateful that they moved quickly! Usually it's more like "hi we're a previously unknown shady company used by a single health insurer. due a lawsuit we must finally tell you about a datastrophe from eight years ago"

Everyone needs to see the polka dot rifle that Tereza Voborniková was rocking during today's 15km biathlon. A glorious victory before even stepping out on the course

“Please enjoy the museum”: Relooted is OUT NOW! Please share!

Happy Blades '68 Day! The crowdfunding campaign for my most anticipated TTRPG in ages just launched www.backerkit.com/c/projects/e... Cannot wait to be part of a swingin' hit squad in a dystopian retrofuture

calling an emergency team deku meeting. it is NOT OKAY to use our company socials to burn me like this

At the halfway point of two months on crutches & bedrest. Torn between whether I most want a complete overhaul of the US healthcare system, or a little yoke I can wear to drag crap around my house.

The Wright Museums Instagram page is HILARIOUS. Think The Office but it's the staff at a Museum for Black History. Better believe this is on my list of places to visit. Gentle Spades "I'm a veteran"

Jurassic Park, but horses

Amazing news for Switch gamers who want a charming knowledgevania game. Absolutely loved this one

Renee Good and Alex Pretti were executed by the state. #AbolishIce #MeltIce

❄️⛸️❄️It was amazing to show the first peek of the game to people at @mivsmagfest.bsky.social ❄️⛸️❄️

Never playing another game of Castles of Burgundy on BGA so I can maintain my exceptional 150% win rate

The extent to which Games Done Quick has helped to steer the larger speedrunning community - one of the most hardcore video game enthusiast subcultures there is - into becoming something so welcoming, inclusive and supportive astonishes me

Pluribus - the only show made for people who listen to podcasts at 3x and wish they could do the same for TV shows

So if you're going to be doomscrolling today, at least make it a journey through decades of community creativity that helped shaped gaming as we know it. Maybe something you made is in here? doomscroll.cx

“ken let’s play pokémon unite” yes let me just boot it up rq…

SUPER exciting TTRPG news! Diogo is so talented at combining mechanics and text to express specific & evocative gameplay vibes. So much of what I liked about World of Darkness RPGs were the vibes, but the mechanics and presentation could use a fresh eye. Looking forward to a new era

It's cool and exciting to see #StarSpark in Kotaku among a bunch of other cool indie projects! :O #GameDev #IndieGames

maybe i am going insane

HDR: "What if your TV and connected devices worked together to ensure that every possible combination of brightness and contrast settings was wrong?"

EVERYBODY! Dicey Dungeons Halloween Special is OUT NOW 🎃👻🎲 (I'm Chipzel and I made it!) fanlink.tv/diceyhalloween

A stunning bit of writing that is simultaneously about cardboard bits & bobs, but also the messiness of Christian history and the even messier reality of making sense of it, and peace with it, individually and together.

THE PURGE but instead of violence, it's a single 12-hour period to get all our petty, shameful complaints out so that we can be happy, well-adjusted people the other 364.5 days of the year.
