ok fine. I'm on Mastodon now too

Our founder, Scott, would like to discuss the recent situation that happened on RetroAchievements as well as the measures we will be taking going forward to ensure a healthy, welcoming community for all enjoyers of retro games and achievements. retroachievements.org/forums/topic...

Another reason why indie development is so important. There are important stories to be told in our medium, and large corporations are too scared to tell them. A story isn't watered down by fantastical elements and "finding the fun." It's watered down by people scared to speak truth to power.

War. War never changes Since the dawn of human kind, when our ancestors first discovered the killing power of rock and bone, blood has been spilled in the name of everything: from God to justice to simple, psychotic rage. In the year 2025 the destructive nature of man could sustain itself no longer

Kinda fucking stupid that we're burning an environmentally hazardous amount of electricity to generate soulless GenAI slop, when we could be forcing 14-year-old teens to pilot giant robots until they suffer catastrophic mental breakdowns, LIKE A REAL SOCIETY.

Fun fact: Clifford the Big Red Dog actually satisfies more kaiju taxonomical requirements than King Kong does While Kong is a big ape, they only satisfy the "giant" part of the categorisation. They aren't a monster, or strange enough Clifford is both big enough and different enough to be a kaiju 🐕

Totally understandable, but a shame they won't be launching on Halloween :/

Anyway, so I'm working on a site to host most of the things I'm going to want to show off in the upcoming months. I have a lot to do, and being the person doing everything means I'm wearing a lot of hats here. So many hats. Too many. But I'm also capable of doing it all so wheee let's go!

Ok so I'm still catching up, but you're telling me that a big account that could best be described as a pillar of the community got banned - like permabanned, lost the appeal - for describing an event that happened. Vaguely. And as "unfortunate". And they're calling it an incitement fo violence?

Today is the 30th anniversary of Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together's debut in Japan. Created by Yasumi Matsuno (later Final Fantasy Tactics and Final Fantasy XII), it originally released for Super Famicom before being ported to Saturn and PS1, on which it released in North America. #RPGanniversary

Ryah: Hey all, just wanted to say thanks again for all the help peeps have given, whether by donating or just sharing this around. With the donations I've gotten so far, should be enough to appease my landlord and have him trust that I'll be able to pay the rest of the rent before the month is over.

You don't miss Rock Band, you miss being a decade younger and seeing your friends in person more often.

It's so fucked up to see people get increasingly hostile toward trans people and act like it's 'an issue' that's 'had light shed on it' as if we aren't people just living our day to day fucking existences with the only real difference being that people just hate us for no fucking reason more & more

I saw the first 2 episodes of Game of Thrones and then kinda noped out. I thought I would catch up on it later, but the bad taste it left for all of the deeply invested fans I knew made me decide I just don't care to subject myself to that. Same with Lost.

ripples: a walk between life and death. i made my first #twine game for #jamsepticeye! ilananight.itch.io/ripples cover gif by @liquidrina.bsky.social

I accidentally glitched out an animation I was working on and created a perfect example of what the passage of time feels like to someone with ADHD

Right? Like what are they going to do? Have brunch at you? Be aggressively pedantic about what neighborhood you're in?

🥺 Bluesky can you help a trans girl out?

This is a baffling thing to drop the ball on, tbh. Good on them for trying to fix it

You can support @transrights.northsky.social here, with a one time or recurring donation. We are an all volunteer team, and all the funds raised go towards our infrastructure and accelerating us taking on users!

If nothing else, this does feel like the old internet, the admin of the forum crashing out and screaming at the userbase

So anyway, gamedev update! Got some early narrative scene sketches done that I'm almost satisfied with. Hands were a little shaky yesterday so I pulled the plug after a bit of inking. I need to catch up on some coding because I've been really sidetracked and putting that off. Need moar baddies!

Tom from MySpace could have been an asshole PoS for all I know, but dude understood the medium and his role in it, y'know?

I have concerns about CEOs of social media sites trying to shit on their users, but one aspect of it that sticks out to me is how inauthentic it comes across They see shitposters and try to emulate that zero fucks given attitude, but deep down they're too normie brained and it's just forced and sad

It’s been out for a bit , but I still got CDs left ☺️ If you like angry trans metal lend an ear 🖤

In more positive news, switching to a different mutuals feed seems to have fixed whatever issues I was having. I'm already seeing people in this one that I never see despite their apparently frequent activity Big shoutout to @omivel.bsky.social for pointing me in the right direction there!

Actually please no. I couldn't handle having clout

Maybe I'll get in early enough to be a Big Deal on the next social media site

Final Fantasy Tactics The Ivalice Chronicles illustration by Ryoko Kui (Delicious in Dungeon) for Weekly Famitsu No. 1915:

The world sucks the job market is trash the industry is eating itself from the inside so go easy on yourself. More is being asked of you. We're all playing hurt. Good luck. I want us all to make it.

omg I haven't seen that screen since someone walked off with my copy

I don't think there's a better current distillation between what Twitch/YouTube outrage merchants and twitter power-users say gamers want and what they actually want than Silent Hill F selling a million copies in a single day.

Remember when they said the future would be, “You’ll own nothing and be happy”? They forgot the happy part.

Big opportunity at the Godot subreddit 👀 #GodotEngine #indiedev #StopTheIdeasGuy
