At 9:18, 3rd period of the Finland-Switzerland women's ice hockey QF game, the ice crew came to clean the ice during a pause What follows is the funniest use of the slo-mo alternate angle tech I've seen them use during these Olympics of one of the crew members falling

Roses are grey, And violets are grey, Hello, this is dog, Please have a good day

Okay but she posted on Reddit after the broadcast that she realized partway through Double Jeopardy that this was her only way to win, and started deliberately picking clues/buzzing in to maximize the odds that they would be tied going into Final. Absolute galaxy brain.

Investigating a bug is most of the work. The fix is usually like one line of code once we understand the problem. But if we also have to spend hours even figuring out how to reproduce the bug, then there's a lot of bugs that just don't get fixed because there's not enough time.

Today I learnt about the actual, canonical sequel to 101 Dalmatians. Every single paragraph of the synopsis makes me feel like I've lost my mind a little bit more. I am so sad that this never got a film adaptation.

after all why not? why shouldn't I believe it's butter?

Good rule of thumb. Along the same lines: whenever you have text that appears and then disappears after a moment, time how long it takes you to read it. It should stay visible for at least three times that long.

I don’t believe that there is no possible use case for AI but I also think there are lots of use cases where AI is a demonstrably terrible solution and unfortunately those are the ones that the tech sector keeps insisting we adopt.

I’m sure someone else has put this better but: producer is a very…female-coded profession. They do the work that needs to happen but rarely attracts any glory. They have “soft skills” that auteurs and geniuses don’t. They’re often paid less. Just something to consider about why they’re devalued.

Today, judging the games at the Groningen Global Game Jam location, one of the developers said "Oh, and you can press `F` to call your mom" and so I pressed it but I was a tiny green alien so then mom alien appeared on in-game voice chat and obliterated the enemies around me with an orbital cannon

If you’re a Unity capable tech artist who can take some visual targets and make them real while balancing performance…DM me, I might have a contact for you!

been enjoying responding to each new genai tech reveal with a slow, drawn out, "yeah but it still can't make scribblenauts"

Fellow writers: I am deeply saddened to share that if we want the rewards of having written, we must submit to the mortifying ordeal of writing

While you are not safe I am not safe

"You don't want to punish people for exploring and stuff, but you do want them to know that there isn't like — it's not a case of, just go around and click on everything, and eventually the game will kind of solve it for you." New from @midimyers.com! www.mothership.blog/seance-of-bl...

Watching 1917 and it’s stressing me the fuck out. Video game ass movie.

Welcome to NUDGE! We are a 19-person team of collectors of trinkets and all things gacha-- so we made a game about doing just that! Please look forward to more posts and updates from us. 💗 #indiegamedev #gamedevelopment #cozygaming #gacha #pixelart #puzzle

Incredible thread. 🧵 Really a fantastic use of the medium to present a coherent story through the familiar, highly formalized messages that define so much of our lives.

I'm now looking for my next AR/MR/VR opportunity as a Senior Technical Gameplay Designer, working remotely or in Los Angeles, CA. Feel free to reach out!

You're doing better than you think you are. The only way out is through, and luckily we have each other. And ducklings. Good night ❤️ 🐣 🪶

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003 when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

If you are anxious and sad about the state of the world, that's fine, and there are plenty of strategies for dealing with that. But I think you already know that drive-by online dooming isn't a strategy. It's selfish and adolescent. It's a contagion that only spreads the worst of you, not the best.

Any advice Tom has on making indie games is worth listening to, but I really want to highlight his thoughts on price point - it's well explained. I do think that the movement to get indies to charge more mostly just hurt new indies - with fewer players, fewer/worse reviews, and lower sales.

Good thread of resources. Thanks for sharing, Victoria!

Prosecute ICE. It’s the only patriotic thing to do.

trump did january 6th. republicans did january 6th. violent traitors did january 6th. they stormed the capitol, destroyed the building and threatened to kill members of congress. ashli babbitt was a violent insurrectionist. the capitol police protected people. these are truths we need to repeat.

It's a big day for those fluent in the good grammar of civility looking to deploy decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

My end-of-year Hidden Gems list is up on PC Gamer! They asked me for 15. I did 30. Somehow, Weird Little Guys and The Apocalypse were a theme. 2025 was terrible in every other regard, but the games? Good. I also just updated my Steam Curator Page with all the stuff in the feature and a few others.

did you all remember to roll your clocks forward a year

Were 90s kids clamoring for a Batman cartoon with 1930s Art Deco aesthetics? Is that what the market demanded? Or did some really smart creative people have a vision and make a genre-defining hit that sustained 20 years of TV shows? If you want success look for vision, not just metrics.

okay so like as of midnight "the best of the 80's, 90's, and today" has "today" covering over a quarter of a century of music since the 90s can we retire this radio phrase yet

Knives out: the upper middle class are squabbling vicious children who do not deserve their inheritance Glass onion: the new elite are the stupidest murderous cunts alive and deserve your scorn Wake up dead man: those preaching anger as salvation are leading you to death, hope and kindness matter

Merry Christmas to all who are so inclined!

Eleven years ago, I wrote to Tom Stoppard to ask about this coup de théâtre from 1949. It took me down an unexpected rabbit hole - in memory of Stoppard, here's what I found.

It is your civic duty to freedom of the press to Streisand the heck out of this 60 minutes report about CECOT so here's another place you can watch it and pass it around www.thereset.news/p/breaking-h...

When the Legendary Edition came out a few years ago I played through the whole series again - including playing the Citadel DLC for the first time. Absolutely wonderful experience. If you’re waiting on more Mass Effect, it’s still there.

this is the greatest feeling, when the cord box proves its utility to a family member

Trans rights are human rights!

When Rob Reiner was on his all-time epic run at the start of his career, he had an opportunity to read a script that was looking for a production partner, and he lost his mind for it. He decided Castle Rock had to have it, no matter what.

Ahahaha my time has come!!! Let's do this!!! I'm a bit pressed for time rn, so I'll probably do a couple now, and the rest over the weekend (G-d willing). A lot of puzzle / thinky games, narrative-focused, queer stuff will follow (not every game is all of these, but some definitely are!)

whats the best video game movie of all time and why is it Hundreds of Beavers

I don't know that I can do 50 but I for sure can come up with 30 to 40 games from this year that you should check out. A lot of these are student games, and most of them are short and free and experimental. Hit me up if you've got one I should add to the list.

Bet. First, I'm gonna cheat and get four games from Enigma Studio because I really want to get around to talking about them and i haven't yet. First, play The Enigma Machine. It's a short (~1-2 hour) horror game about managing an AI's dreams.
