Finished a small & beautiful 3D game in my spare time, thinking about launching 😎 Maybe single player (pay what you can) & paid online multi-player (fixed price, one-off, offset infra) Will submit to Steam Next Fest 2026 assuming my Steamworks Tax is approved this coming week!

Culver's Mac & Cheese: truly the blandest fast food Mac and cheese I've encountered. It's wild to experience given half of the place is built around "we have cheese."

hardcore nuzlockes of pokemon romhacks might just be the only turn-based RPGs out there with gameplay that properly forces you to engage played tons of JRPGs and none of them really have that element that forces you to develop consistency and game knowldedge in a way that encourages decision making

re: the whole “networking” thing never underestimate the power of the DM slide. Not in a creepy way, just in a “hey I love your work, here’s this specific thing it made me think about!” The worst that will happen is they ignore you or they’re like “thank you so much!” and that’s that.

From "Tokyo Godfathers" stage play (2020)

Happy Christmas, to those that do! Our traditional Christmas morning breakfast: homemade gravadlax, cream cheese and pumpernickel. The gravadlax was cured first with a beetroot, juniper and orange cure, then a brown sugar and dill cure. #hobbybaker #homemade #Christmas #foodie #Whatscooking 🍽️🍜🎄🎁

Morning Moots, Merry Christmas! Hope you all got amazing presents and have a great day! Im gonna game and then visit family then game more. Back to the gym tomorrow. Stay hydrated and enjoy!

I don't get why some parts of a specific fandom needs it so badly to seem like Larian hated making BG3 and Divinity 3 is the reward for such laborious horrid thing like making the most well regarded game in like...a decade

I see a lot of people complaining that Pluribus is slow and boring. This is what TV and movies used to be like before Netflix changed the law requiring characters to explain the plot in the first 15 minutes of runtime.

Hey with all the new accounts coming over, this is your reminder, repost your old stuff. If you're an artist, musician, podcaster, Youtuber, whatever, go ahead and repost your old works. Don't be afraid to promote yourself And if you see stuff you like, repost it, help everyone find their audience

"concept artists can experiment with AI to make their lives easi-" wrong I smack you with Claire Hummel's immaculate and detailed understanding of costume design, which she got by studying historical references, which made her strong, which you will not become by relying on AI get good

The greatest distance between two people isn't miles—it's the silence of things left unsaid. Can’t find the words…? Drop a song.

The AVATAR movies have this strange effect on people in that they fervently feel that they have to defend their opinion on them, good or bad, even when no one’s asking. 2025 was a pretty great movie year, and I’d much rather be talking about other movies. That’s my defense.

50 indie game thread made me realize that biiig threads on bsky kinda suck to make/read through so although i kinda wanted to do a megathread for games i play in 2026, i think i'm just going to make a concerted effort to post about them more

I know it's a matter of taste but time limits are actually great and more games need them.

Might fuck around and get some psychology books. Books on trauma, emotional maturity/intelligence, ethics, existentialism, etc..

I love movies so much. Someone has something they need to express so badly they build a team of talented people who create a completely new world and decide how to present it to you to tell a story and make you feel something. What an astounding art form. Games are the same way.

Jake Paul coming to the ring to honor Hulk Hogan and then getting his jaw punched into his eyeballs by Anthony Joshua has to be one of the best moments in sports this year. Doubly so because I didn’t spend a dime on it.

Since his appointment, RFK Jr. has pursued a brutal vision of American health that several experts liken to a sort of eugenics. Kennedy has made it clear that certain deaths are acceptable or even preferable to a world where every child is vaccinated. Read more: www.theverge.com/health/66136...

WE ARE SEX BOB-OMB AND WE ARE HERE TO MAKE YOU THINK ABOUT DEATH AND GET SAD AND STUFF!

Low sodium chicken bone broth is awesome cause it’s high in protein and I can just chug a bunch of it in a coffee cup. In the winter, it’s basically soup

In retrospect people often name the times of greatest duress, when all hope is lost, as the seminal and defining moments of their life. Of course, when you’re inside it, it doesn’t feel that way. But knowing that it 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭, might give you the strength to persevere.

Not sure who needs to hear this, but if a politician promises to make utility bills go down, they need to make them *go down over time*, not go down compared to a fictitious alternate universe that only exists in some think tank's models. Retail electricity prices almost never go down.

Oh boy I can buy a game a second time just to have it physically cause they made it a digital exclusive for a few months. This sure isn't an awful practice.

The most maddening thing in the world is when you encounter a problem with some business, you can't resolve it on their website, so you actually call them on the telephone...only to get a recording telling you to resolve the issue on their website. Hateful.

Making a video game is such an incredible act of hubris. You have to create the entire world for scratch. Every object, every rule. Unless you've worked in the field it's hard to wrap your head around how many other games are competing. What worked last time will not work this time. It's impossible.

never doubt my ability to be entertained by the most mundane of activities in video games. i can literally play a game for hours on end doing the same thing if it simply feels Good at all

I woke up with ten pounds of mashed potatoes in my fridge because today is Lefse Day, a yearly labor of love, rolling out potato dough paper thin and cooking on a jumbo round electric grill for my Norwegian-leaning wife. Let the flour storm begin!

Silksong DLC announced for next year www.teamcherry.com.au/blog/holiday...

Someone has just restored "Daicon 3" from a rare 8mm copy. It's the best version to date. >> archive.org/details/zgfp...

I keep seeing movie and TV show criticisms like "it could have been an hour shorter" and "nothing happened this episode." I've never had such thoughts in my life and am happy to stay that way.

Record collecting and video games are two of the rare hobbies where it's actually fun to be temporarily broke. If you've been doing either for awhile, you have so much stuff you needed to listen to more. You have a whole pile of games you've never booted up. Today's the day. You invested!

god bless rob reiner for spinal tap

It hasn't even been twelve hours, but all three of us have been overwhelmed with requests from media for comment and I'm mostly writing this now so they'll leave me alone.

Genuinely powerful words to live by.

god i forgot how much i missed drawing. i thought i was going to have issues picking it back up but once my pen started moving i couldn't put it down it's like when you find a new game you like and every second you aren't playing the game you wish you were playing the game

I see Wendy Carlos. I post Wendy Carlos.

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

"Grindset" no longer belongs to men who do day trading. It is now the name of the aesthetic genre that encapsulates and is inspired by Jet Set Radio (Japan, Global) / Jet Grind Radio (US)

Realize I got into a funk about writing the last couple weeks because of a couple of Publishing shenanigans. Gotta focus on what you can control, Hurley. And it ain't publishing. Trad publishing can def build you up, but just as often, it will break your heart.

Cold weather makes me crave congee. Salted duck egg, or some fermented tofu and a touch of veggies. Maybe a sprinkle of pork.

Straight out of the worst dystopian scenarios. The wealthiest individual in the world (and likely the one who causes the most harm, between DOGE and X) has succeeded in introducing his revisionist (denying the Holocaust) and anti-Semitic disinformation tool into (El Salvador) classrooms.

Population-scale long-read datasets, involving sequencing and de novo assembly of multiple individuals within a species, are better at capturing the full spectrum of structural variants, but such datasets are rare outside of humans www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... #biodiversity #genomics

back on my chili game

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.

no one ever has you can't fight city hall clipped in good quality and due to its relevancy i need to be able to link to it roughly every day that im alive so whatever i'll just do it.

*sitting up to pound my fist dramatically on the table and point at this paragraph with fury and emphasis* (please read the whole thing though, that last line is chef's kiss)

One of my fave SM things is when people post obviously awful food, or food that's just not quite right then post a caption making it seem like what you're looking at is not what you're looking at- super burnt pizza, partially baked cookies, unrisen bread. Like, no, Linda, that's terrible. Toss it.
