ever have a week or two so bad that you feel like you've been physically punched in the spirit? yeah

the ascians kind of had a point

my goty list: silent hill f once upon a katamari mh wilds love & deepspace pokemon stadium for the n64

(spending 9 billion dollars to make a robot say "i have always loved you") hard times create strong men

wellingtonians, please respond to nzta's engagement survey about why building two new tunnels and tearing up the city for *checks notes* saving 4 minutes driving is a dumb idea. nzta.mysocialpinpoint.com/SH1-Wellingt... here's what i left them with

for real though lmfao no way this is the AVERAGE also 50% of indie devs are making over $100k USD a year? sure jan

“average gamedev makes $142,000 a year" factoid actualy just statistical error. average gamedev makes $0 per year. Executives Georg, who lives in cave & makes over $10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

brazil nuts kinda suck

bsky brain trust, what's a good alternative to lastpass (preferably for both mobile and desktop)? the lastpass autofill integration and generally crappiness is driving me nuts so i'm willing to take the psychic damage it'll cost to transfer to a better service

get in the chungus shinji

nz secret santa is live again! go sign up 🙏

brisbane is really nice

nintendo has the opportunity to do the funniest thing here

charter schools are shit, and will always be shit sorry mainstream education needs to be improved for special needs & ND kids in NZ, not have them put in a private charter school that has no oversight and largely exists for making money off of desperate families

devs / games industry folk who do market research when you're looking up competitor/inspiration/reference titles, what info are you trying to find -- and why?

in honour of the new katamari game coming out, here's some of my favourite insane item descriptions from it

life is good

nothing strikes more fear into you than getting on a very turbulent delayed flight at midnight, almost nodding off and then being blasted by KNEE DEEP IN THE DOOT from your playlist youtu.be/hzPpWInAiOg?...

I AM GONNA LOSE IT WHY DOES NZ NOT HAVE A HIGH SPEED RAIL NETWORK AT LEAST BETWEEN WLG AND AKL YOU COULD GET BETWEEN CITIES IN ABOUT 2 1/2 HOURS AND INSTEAD WE'RE BUILDING MORE FUCKING ROADS AND CAR TUNNELS LIKE IT'S GOING OUT OF FASHION I AM SO GODDAMN MAD ABOUT THIS COUNTRY'S CAR BONERS

lol of course the one time i need to fly to auckland it's on the day with 140kph gusts, a red weather warning and half the flights already cancelled

from u/voidgirlfriend

shoutout to the 90s kids exposed to classical music because win95 and 98 came bundled with midis of mozart's 40th and bach's 3rd brandenburg concerto

NO I DON'T WANT TO 'BROWSE IN BRIDGE'

nothing aged me faster than seeing that neopets/habbo hotel collab

i made a shovelware pin

wellington.govt.nz/your-council... all three councillors for onslow western i would trust with running things as far as i could throw them. can't say how disappointed i am that rebecca matthews is elected again; i hope this term she'll actually listen to her constituents & engage better

hm did te whatu ora just forget about all those cases where people were using AI for therapy, ended up with psychosis and then dead? this is so dangerous

the bathroom in my apartment needs to be redone and i'm discovering that it's just a fancy way of saying you're gonna set a bunch of money on fire

Our lighting team lead Chih-Yao ( SCY00178 elsewhere ) created this amazing piece to celebrate the launch of SILENT HILL f ( these guys freaking NAILED the atmosphere 💖 ) #silenthillf

@qqbert.bsky.social just wanted to say silent hill f was an amazing experience, you and the team absolutely killed it

i know i've yapped about it a lot but silent hill f is so good. "but it's not a real silent hill" why, because it's not set in a US city? silent hill's premise is the manifestation of personal trauma or guilt, which the game does well - in an ABSTRACT and surprising way, like silent hill 1 did

i have been on the Internet since the 90s and played countless horror games, and silent hill f still has managed to make the most disgusting, horrifying monster design i've ever seen

NB: whoever keeps injecting "big lady" DNA (their label, not mine) into the Tyrant soup CUT IT OUT

one of the things i love most about @itch.io (and what i use it most for atm) is the absolutely slammin set of font packs/individual fonts that people sell on there... so good

silent hill fffffffff slaps

great news! you're not actually seeing karl rove, john yoo, and david frum criticize the administration's lawlessness more stridently than dem leadership. you, reader, were infected with rabies by a brown bat 36 hours ago and this is all just the virus working its way through your nervous system
