Adult content helped build Kickstarter. It helps build most of the big sites on the web, only to get evicted once the business settles into the positions smut built for them. It has every right to exist and its creators deserve to participate in the social spaces their work developed.

You want videogame discourse? I'll give you videogame discourse! There's so many incredible games coming out nearly every week that you can play just a fraction and still be completely overwhelmed, it's non-stop banger after banger with all kinds of genres and styles, more than enough for everyone!

Thirsty Suitors is one of my favorite story-driven games in recent memory. Heartfelt, funny, and a great soundtrack! Highly recommend it! And play Dosa Divas, the latest game from @outerloopgames.bsky.social too!

🚨✨ BIG ANNOUNCEMENT TIME!✨🚨 I am so excited to introduce our lead voice actors for my team's game, Bitter Silver! Anairis Quiñones (she/they) is Lucia Lopez! Trang Vo (she/her) is Zap Matters! Leo Jerez (he/him) is Hobbes! We are so excited to have them bring our bounty hunting crew to life!

I KNOW some of you love gay people who love suffering

Agree with @caseyexplosion.bsky.social. As developers, we need to keep making games for people who ACTUALLY want to engage with our art in good faith, ignore grifters & stand up to bigots by supporting each other as artists & human beings. And if you like a dev's game, PLEASE LEAVE A REVIEW!

talking to people... doing research..... seeing what others do..... it's not as hard as it looks—let's do it together!! in my latest article, I go over how to contact streamers about your visual novel and requesting game streams~ 💖 read it here: arimiadev.com/how-to-conta...

If the games industry had the power to make certain games a cultural phenomena with global hit sales, it would so all the time. However, the games industry cannot even agree on what "alpha" means

As someone who's worked in TV/film post the past 11 years, Josh isn't full of it BUT there's a much simpler reason for the "lighting looks bad now" trend the past 10 years. In post, you're creating a digital intermediate that has to look serviceable on phones, tablets, laptops & TVs now.

Reminder that our pitch email is open. We will pay you for work, it will be hosted on a site that is not 90% covered in ads and our CEO does not force us to post racist headlines on Instagram that make you look bad by association

Repost this if you’ve gone to the doctor or you’ve seen a dog. I’m a teacher trying to show my students that it’s possible to repost stuff under certain circumstances like if a post asks you to and you’ve gone to something or seen something

The cycle of being a marginalized indie game dev: - make a game - market the shit out of it to grab attention - deal with harassment from shitheels as you grab attention - try to make enough $ for your next game - repeat ✨ Anyway, wishlist Bitter Silver! ✨ store.steampowered.com/app/1906930/...

"Grok, type me up a Steam refund request for Slay the Spire II for having Anita Sarkeesian in the credits? Make it sound like I'm not mad."

Congrats to @patattiemurray.bsky.social and the whole @waxheadsgame.bsky.social dev team! Go buy this lovely game right now!

Respect for the thought. But if given a shard of the franchise, it would center on the crushing bureaucracy of The Empire and the ruthless egotism of the lead revels and the fact that nothing fucking changes.

Oh hell I haven't done a mayday Indie #ShowCasey - the showcase where you show Casey your upcoming indie games! Are you an indie game developer? Want to show off an upcoming game you're working on? Respond below with a description and link to your game's store page! Only one rule; no generative AI.

Name your top 15 TV shows, gut instincts only: Lost Cowboy Bebop Ed Edd n' Eddy Teen Titans (2003) Hey Arnold The Leftovers Arrested Development The Good Place Succession Breaking Bad Better Call Saul Avatar: The Last Airbender Twin Peaks Jessica Jones How To with John Wilson

Idk man I feel like even if AI scraped from 100% ethical sources, had zero impact on the environment, and produced gorgeous work, I’d still think you were a bitch for using it

Every transfem needs to know this. Quit nicotine. It's worse for us than usual because it interferes with estrogen receptors! This can delay breast growth and other physical changes, and cause chronic fatigue because you don't have enough functional hormones.

Welcome, year zero

🗣️ HAPPY AAPI MONTH 🗣️ what better way to spend it than playing a game about generational trauma, motherhood, a pandemic, and so much more? we're so happy that 1000xRESIST is part of the first-ever AAPI Steam Sale, running May 1-10. 💖 SALE: tinyurl.com/AAPISteamSale

Spiders shutdown was due to deliberate mismanagement at Nacon and union workers are asking people to boycott Nacon, so if you were thinking of getting Greedfall 2 (like I was) don't!

The Sandy Hook families are seeking emergency relief, asking for resolution in several courts, because this obviously harms their ability to collect the $1.4 billion they're owed from Jones and InfoWars. We're hopeful they will resolve this immediately so we can take over and pay these families.

An important update: Texas courts created such an unprecedented situation in an emergency filing last night, no one knows who is in charge of InfoWars, and therefore no one can pay rent. Since no one controls these assets right now, it does appear InfoWars will shut down tonight at midnight.

Everyone, stop what you’re doing. There is a Black girl named Kameirah who is in Google’s top 5 “Doodle for Google” contest that can win a $55,000 scholarship. I just voted. VOTING CLOSES TOMORROW APRIL 29! doodles.google.com/d4g/

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed an HIV vaccine candidate that achieves something never before observed in the field: inducing detectable neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) against HIV within just THREE weeks after a SINGLE immunization which was further INCREASED after an additional booster.

Hello World, we’d like to introduce ourselves. We the workers of the Magic: The Gathering Arena team have come together to unionize as United Wizards of the Coast - CWA! 🧵 unitedwizardsofthecoast.com/news/announcing-united-wizards-coast-cwa

My coworkers at Hachette and I are unionizing!! I am so proud of all of the work we've put into this campaign. We are the largest union in trade publishing. Please sign our open letter to show your support and urge management to voluntarily recognize our union! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

creators get better by finishing projects no project ever comes out as good as it is in your imagination but that’s ok, the next one will be better also it’s ok if projects fail, taking risks and big swings is an important part of growing as a creator

DAWN CHORUS -- demo out now! an interactive fiction story about two losers trying to make music and stay friends as the world is ending around them. after years of secrecy/procrastination i am proud to reveal the demo for my esoteric pre-apocalypse story :) PLAY → haraiva.itch.io/dawn-chorus-...

Reminder to self, and well, everyone: leave reviews on games. ESPECIALLY new indie games.

There is a direct throughline from this and the rise in global authoritarianism. Authoritarianism is actively hostile toward the arts and intellectualism, and thus imagination. When people say that AI is a “fascist project,” this is explicitly what they’re referring to.

The Testament of Ann Lee (2025)

Dreams on a Pillow is the game that the establishment doesn't want you to play. A game made by Palestinians about Palestine. This game needs to exist, and we can make it happen. Please back, share, and talk about this game. We must amplify the voices that they're trying so hard to silence.

It’s lesbian visibility week and I am once again asking that y’all view my black lesbians!!!!

518,428 children have died preventable deaths in the year since Musk dismantled USAID, saying, “Time for it to die.”

It’s cool how people who grievously wronged you can threaten to effectively destroy your life for publicly speaking out about it as long as they have money to exert legal pressure and you don’t

Woke up today and remembered why I love being a queer trans woman. That's all. ✌️🏳️‍⚧️

Another member of the FGC has been directly impacted by ICE. YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO. BLOW THIS UP!! 📢 gofund.me/5141da1dd

Cancelled going to a local NYC sapphic event this week because I realized the organizers used gen AI in the flyer. Super disappointing and gross to see as a queer artist who knows so many queer illustrators that can make beautiful flyers & won't break any organizer's bank.

#IndieGames are trending apparently? So, uh, wishlist my team and I's queer, indie game love letter to Cowboy Bebop, Bitter Silver? ✨ We also have a demo that won't waste your time and has multiple endings. And there's a cute cat you can talk to & pet! 🐈 store.steampowered.com/app/1906930/...

Not sure if any of these are "niche" but there's really three things I'd love to write for: - Ed Edd n' Eddy (a comic/graphic novel) - Cowboy Bebop (an official video game) - Aeon Flux (an animated reboot)

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars. We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director. Please stand by for more.
