Brizza is doing Next Fest demos, come check her out!

Shakespeare’s plays were performed to no more than 3,000 people at a time in his day at the Globe theatre. Today we have tons of common words, phrases, and concepts coined by him. Meanwhile today people have hundreds of thousands of followers and still feel like their voice is powerless.

"you just need to accept that games cost 80 dollars now" PlayStation reported a overall loss in sales when they went to 70 dollars

AI has already stolen my Twitter job of arguing with assholes all day

Imagine spending your whole life cos-playing and fantasizing about fighting the federal government sending troops in against its own citizens only to root for the government when the moment finally arrives

“Officials don’t want to be on Bsky because they get yelled at” 🙄 These replies from X are on a post of Chuck Schumer celebrating a parade. Bsky is much kinder than other platforms!

Got blocked for saying that games are expensive and a lot of the people buying them are poor. From two guys who work in video games. Gaming has become so toxic toward its own customers. Many of the people who make games hate themselves and the people who buy their stuff. What a pathetic existence.

Worst part of game price discourse is it’s not even clear that raising prices will lead to higher revenues. The main reason I don’t support raising prices is because I suspect it will lead to LOWER revenues as fewer people buy the game, a large enough reduction to wipe away the gains from pricing.

how can you look at mario kart world being $110 before tax and not think something is terribly wrong in gaming right now

Now that we're through with gameshows it's time to try out all the new things we've wishlisted over the weekend. I'll be live today (Monday) through Sunday aka all week long with Next Fest demos! Hopefully that's enough time to try them all out 😅 www.twitch.tv/blondepizza #nextfest #indie #twitch

New video introducting Cacko!

It’s honestly insane to go online and tell people that their complaints about the price of something are not valid. If you’re lucky enough to be financially stable then good for you. But fuck off if you’re coming on here to act like what you can afford is what everyone else should pay.

Astronomers may have found evidence of still-forming planets hidden in this close-up of the star RIK 113, taken with our VLT 📸 🪐 This and previous ALMA data suggest that the disc around the star may be shaped by hidden planets. Discover more: www.eso.org/public/image... 🔭 🧪 📷 ESO/C. Ginski et al.

“insane obnoxious offensive post on your feed” *replies disabled* Any platform that creates this situation is shitty. If OP doesn’t want replies their posts should be excluded from feeds and kept to their followers only. Otherwise it just leads to people posting intentionally offensive nonsense.

Live now with the PC Gaming Show!! Come get hype with me as we watch some world premieres & new trailers. I've also got some games to giveaway to make sure to read the pinned chat. 🎮 ----> www.twitch.tv/blondepizza <---- #PCGamingShow #twitch #streamer #promosky

Fixed in the Dev builds 😎 back in action!

everyone taking to the streets in LA is a hero

Godot 4.4 has a bug where the ResourceLoader just fails half the time and it’s been there for a month now unfixed. I only updated begin with to fix a physics bug with particles 😖

The majority of all games ever released were made as self funded passion projects. The investor driven corporate games industry is the exception not the rule. You don’t need to engage with that side of the field if all you want to do is make a video game.

playing pokemon as an adult is one of those isekai reincarnation stories where you're reborn as a baby in another world and you use the full weight of your publicly educated, adult mind to cheat and dominate this world at the age of 12

I Hate The Investor Driven Game Industry But I Would Absolutely Never Never Ever Fund A Game With My Own Money

Posts like “Do not open the door for ICE unless they have a warrant!” Are so funny. It’s like everything happening would be A-OK if the bad guys just did the right paperwork first.

Seems like a lot of folks want to work in games because it’s a field where you get money from an investor then screw around on a computer for 6 years. And not because they actually want to make a video game. Which explains why so many folks are concerned with perceived stability above all else.

Tomorrow is the #futuregamesshow and we'll be live with an official co-stream of it by 12:30 PST

This is a big reason why many movies suck. It doesn’t matter who has the best idea, the rights go to who has the most money. Imagine if they just got to make and release their movie and people could choose to watch the good one? Intellectual property actively makes everything around us worse.

Splitgate shows that the only reliable way to get attention these days is to be controversial. A bunch of people are now talking about the game who otherwise would have never posted about it, it’s basically the star of the show. The market demands controversial content and so the supply is created.

Oopsie! Kudos to Kotaku for being the only one to actually state that the article was corrected.

If you're willing to risk your life for our country and can kill our enemies with lethal precision, it shouldn't matter if you're gay, straight, transgender, white, Black or anything else.

Dude just wait for the end of the show lmao #SummerGameFest

Anyone else notice your phone feels different when it’s dead? Different from both on and off. Like it’s emitting infrasound all the time or something.

Don't know how to feel about this release. I had fun but yeesh, I need to play it again and ponder... Thanks everyone for the lovely stream last night. Today we will be live for the Summer Games Fest later today (around 1:30 PST). Once that's over we'll also go over the State of Play. See ya soon!

I think most indie games could stand to look a lot worse. AAA really isn’t as shiny as it’s made out to be. A few well positioned particles and your PSX style horror game can compete visually! #gamedev #indiedev

There are so many people who self identify as “Left Wing” but their primary political motivation is protecting property rights. They argue for policy claiming it will help vulnerable people when in reality it will strengthen the dominant positions of the wealthy. Most housing discussion is like this

Baby Blocks found capable of generating offensive texts, including ASS and POO. A ban on the product is expected soon.

If you have money consider buying Tesla near close tomorrow because there’s no way Musk is going to remain in charge for long and the stock will rebound like crazy when his removal is announced.

Musk is finally weak enough for Grimes to use Moon Healing Escalation on him.

Live now with more Deltarune!! 🤘 We just beat Chapter 3 last night and now we're on to Chapter 4 today. Come watch me try to beat this tonight (but I won't rush it) -- the story has been WILD 😳 ----> www.twitch.tv/blondepizza <---- #deltarune #twitch #streamer #promosky

Called this one too but it happened a bit later than I expected, which was under 3 months

It must be a bit of a weird cognitive dissonance moment to preorder and buy a switch 2 just to go home and load up Mario Kart and realize that’s the only game on the platform.

Lynch had the vision to see that it’s our financial system that’s the real problem. Money will always create negative outcomes for people as long as we keep up the global financial pyramid scheme.

Ask yourself, how often do you waste your time filling out polls and surveys? For most people I think the answer is almost never. Yet polling is accepted as an accurate representation of public opinion. This is a huge social problem because this data is trusted everywhere from politics to business.

Live now with the brand new chapter of Deltarune!! Today we try to get as far as we can through chapter 3 so it'll probably be a loooooong stream. 😅 Come hang out -- I'm going to be very not normal about this release :) ----> www.twitch.tv/blondepizza <---- #twitch #streamer #deltarune #promosky

no time to play rn but I wanted to draw some guys
