@rittzler.bsky.social (creator of Pseudoregalia), has had their Discord and email hacked and is linking to a virus in disguise. If you see anything linking to a game called "Furfall", DO NOT engage with it. It's not made by Rittz and isn't a real game (it's a Remote Access Trojan) DO NOT CLICK IT.

What the fuck is this Joker

Triple Bosses aren’t just Double Bosses + A Third Wheel. They’re their own trope, with benefits and pitfalls like any other. A triple boss can give enemies new tactics, give players a stiff challenge, and can be the most memorable fight a game has. That seems worth talking about! See you Wednesday!

Everything we’ve heard about Prime 4 in the past few days it sounds like a miracle this game even released Retro wasn’t prepared, had to rework the failed structure, COVID, like if this was a western studio this shit woulda been cancelled in like 2021 Lol

it's a search-action film actually,

Shouts out to the team for collecting, editing, and posting the GOTY lists! We're kicking off Day 2 with Dan's Top 10 Games of 2025! giantbomb.com/articles/dan...

This can be a difficult and nuanced discussion, especially for people that are out of the tech loop. I try to break it down as AI = shit you've been using for over a decade. Predictive text. NPC enemy AI. Specialized machine learning. GenAI = shit built on stolen/scraped assets from the Internet

You don't need to be able to read every pore and eyelash on a character's face for "good" graphics. You need good art direction and design. Those are what ensure your game still looks striking and memorable even decades later.

Absolum is $19.99 on US eShop buff.ly/22v3Ghl (Steam) $18.99 Fanatical w/ code OMENVIP buff.ly/Cix5U4J

Your power bill has tripled and you can't afford new PC parts just to create this.

Great read about the landscape of GenAI discussion. You need to have an understanding of what you hate. Why is it bad? What are the material effects of it? How are devs using it? Why are they using it? Then, you draw your own line in the sand. Use it as a guide. It helps me not lose my mind.

Pizza Tower is $9.99 on US eShop buff.ly/3DEHr0G Steam buff.ly/3XYgY33

NGL...maybe it's just Scholar of the First Sin...but I'm starting to think that Dark Souls 2 is actually just kinda bad? All the changes to healing, stamina, and the adaptability feel like they're only there to make the game more frustrating? It's been 10 year but man I'm not having fun with it.

Zexion is 30% off for Steam's Winter Sale! Now's a great time to check out this epic Metroidvania with a deep interconnected world, over-the-top bosses, and a built in Randomizer with lots of features! store.steampowered.com/app/3392510/... #indiedev #gamedev #gaming #Steam #Zexion

If you want to communicate your idea to an artist all you need is 30 seconds and the basic ability to grip a pen

This is such a misunderstanding of why writers, artists, and designers do research to begin with, which is to find something unexpected, not capture the average or find reference for the default. And, as always, the biggest misapprehension: We don’t want to NOT do this part. It’s fun to learn shit

EVERYTHING BURNS!!! Light it up, let's go!! light it up, LET'S GO!! #FFXIV

FFXIV Arcadion raid tier list (normal). This is probably the best raid series that 14 has had as a whole even if the final tier is a little flat in comparison. I can see myself warming up to some of these fights more later on though.

Waterfox about to put out the Firefox

"It's just concept art, who cares if they use genAI and not actual artists?" Look at this concept art for C-3P0 by Ralph McQuarrie. It's the very thing that inspired Anthony Daniels to go for the role of Threepio and perform him as such. It is the first heartbeat of the art that now exists.

Sum good news for today and a reminder that the erosion of online speech is not inevitable as those in power would like you to believe

Ok, I’ve finally actually rolled credits on a Fromsoft Game instead of getting near the end and just stopping for no real reason lol.

As much as I still like it, the one thing I think I can say that is a disappointment with Metroid Prime 4 is Samus' kit. Pretty much all of the "Psychic" abilities you get beyond the Psychic Glove (which is just TK for specific objects) are just abilities we've always had with niche additions.

Just in case it wasn't clear: If I click on your profile and see that you've used AI to make something, you get blocked.

This week is the last week before Congress goes on December recess. When calling your House Rep also mention these bills: KOSA SCREEN Act COPPA 2.0 RESET Act Sammy Act App Store Accountability Act GAMING Act Safe Messaging for Kids Act Parents over Platforms Act (1/5)

Folks I emphasize as always, if you don't actually show up for the things you want, they stop getting made. Sometimes you gotta be okay with taking a chance on that 7/10 game knowing it's the only way those creators get to keep making the stuff you wanna see

My new 3 hour long essay on Michael Myers is up on Patreon. I cannot monetize it, and when I tried to upload the same version but with a foreword asking for Patreon support, it blocked access. The next video will be... not a movie. www.patreon.com/posts/145218...

"RemoveWindowsAI" is a script created by zoicware, available on GitHub, that does exactly what it says: it remove every AI feature in Windows 11. Do what you wish to do with this information. I'm sharing this because some folks are forced to use Win11 at work or other places for any reasons.

I’ve been a Sonic fan for over 20 years, and have seen some of the series highest peaks. But with the crazy lows it’s had, I sometimes wonder… How the hell is this series still alive? Let’s talk about it! youtu.be/en8lWh7tPsI?...

Love how the term "indie" is used to describe both a single guy making a videogame inbetween their retail overtime shifts, and also a team of former AAA developers with family connections to obscene wealth

here is a frame from pluribus btw

If you’re interested in a grand sokoban adventure that’s not made by a massive bigot (which I’m bringing up for no reason of course!), might I suggest Isles of Sea and Sky? One of the best games of last year by a lot! store.steampowered.com/app/1233070/...

Clair Obscur probably deserves GoTY but man it got way too many awards. Silksong and Blue Prince got snubbed hard.
