I have a new piece up at @rockpapershotgun.bsky.social — it’s about when I got hacked in Dark Souls 2, used hacker tools to unhack myself, and then talked to my hacker years later

This unassuming little game is fantastic, so clever and unexpected. Wow!

Any journalists/streamers want a key for the full game, HMU. Trying to think of people to contact, but having trouble / I'm shy.

Pico8 is fun!

#Godot 4.6 is out, and all about your flow! This release puts you and your workflow first with a new theme, flexible docks, and dozens of UX improvements. And Jolt Physics by default, revamped IK, better reflections, and more. Less wrestling with UI. More making games. godotengine.org/releases/4.6

ok I gave it a try, IK rigs are fiddly bullshit, gonna go back to manually positioning and rotating my bones (insert "they have played us for fools" meme here)

Super Chart Island has reached Head over Heels, my favourite C64 game: superchartisland.com/batman/ (... actually, they've reached Jon Ritman and Bernie Drummond's Batman game, which is a pretext for talking about Head over Heels, which shockingly never hit the top 10 on its initial release?)

🎉 It’s my birthday! 🎉 Please help me celebrate by getting a present for YOURSELF! 🎁 Might I recommend this cool dice game/book that I made?
