Saw something about this a week ago and genuinely assumed it was satire, jesus christ

i still can't get over how demented this google search result is..

Never thought about Japanese font files before. Reminds me I still don't understand what programming looks like in Asian languages / countries? Youtube seems surprisingly short on answers

Just three UK data centres will account for more than 1% of the UK’s carbon budget by 2033. It’s like building several international airports. No wonder they’re lying about it. We’ve got to stop this madness. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Shotdeck research / moodboarding for my sci-fi game

Chronologically / autobiographically: The Young Ones Red Dwarf Blackadder The Simpsons Friends Big Train Spaced Brass Eye Monty Python Nathan Barley The Office The Thick of It The Twilight Zone Black Mirror Succession

Going to see the 4k remaster of Akira tonight, at @princecharlescinema.com. It will be cool

I respect the effort that went into this: youtu.be/0nLMdhYUzLo

After a length of development that - if I truly, deeply thought about it, I would instantly go insane as if I'd opened some Lovecraftian skin-bound tome - our narrative city-builder Generation Exile has launched out of Early Access into full 1.0 today! store.steampowered.com/app/2963240/...

Had this pic saved to my desktop for ages because it's great - no idea what I'm ever going to do with it, figured I'd just post it here

Bill & Ted's Excellent Video Game Adventure (NES, 1991)

AI footage in the quote post. However it's a real fact, with real footage available (See my link below). Now people who believed it have a false image of how octopus act, and people who recognise it as AI question a real observed scientific fact. Utter bullshit. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RN9B...

Utterly breathtaking new photo from Artemis. I'm speechless

Obligatory reminder of the fire scene (still amazing, back when everything was real etc etc): www.youtube.com/watch?v=kl-Y...

Hey y'all, I was recently hit by layoffs at Respawn/EA: I'm a veteran #LevelDesigner with 17+yrs of exp in the AAA space (MP + SP, 3rd person + FPS). I'm seeking a Principal Level Design or Lead LD/Design Manager role (I've worked in both IC + management) if y'all are hiring/know connections!

Between the Artemis 2 stuff and going to see Project Hail Mary yesterday, I'm enjoying the jarring whiplash I get from suddenly warping to worlds, both real and fictional, where the biggest American institutions and projects are run by nice people who really know what they're doing

Instantly obsessed with how a lump of nutella freed from the jar might behave in zero gravity. Now youtubing nutella viscosity

Going back to Command and Conquer / Red Alert Remastered and: 1) It's a lovely remaster, perfectly done 2) The intro with Einstein going back in time to magically wipe Hitler out of the existence with a handshake is quite a thing

And / or normalise not having achievements in games at all

This is true

Coming from a level design background, being able to scale and rotate the same few meshes to make a lot of the final environments, for levels of any shape, is kinda the dream... which is one of the reasons my game is set underground :) (and leans into a moody, lower-resolution aesthetic, etc)

Alien Resurrection, at the end of an Alien Quadrilogy all-night marathon at a film festival. The joy of seeing Alien and Aliens on the big-screen for the first time (and back to back), followed by the novelty of rewatching Alien 3 (it's fine), and then... absolute confusion and nerd rage

If you know this video of the brilliant Anna-Maria Hefele - or just love music that seems at once to defy the laws of physics & exalt them: She graciously agreed to add custom thematic vocals + a new song performance to @thekillingstone.com - out now on Steam early-access. youtu.be/vC9Qh709gas?...

The Megadrive was a world of bangers, and I was very happy this Christmas to find my old game collection that I built up back at uni (which I thought my dad gave away years ago!):

"Chow Yun Fat getting revenge on the guy who killed his friend by blowing his head off at point blank range while covered in flour" is a top-tier halloween costume waiting to happen:

How my (weird, story-driven dystopian sci-fi) game looked after the first week of creating the project, vs how it looks now:

Blade Runner, The Last Express and Shadow of the Colossus made this the most instant-click episode for me so far

Bandcamp Friday alert: it's Bandcamp Friday, right now, and for like 22 more hours. Get some music, pay some artists.

“A robot may not kick a human in the balls, or, through inaction, allow a human to be kicked in the balls.”

This year's Spotify Wrapped thing made me realise that I spend most of my music listening time enjoying tracks from albums I already own, and was the last step in convincing myself to finally cancel my subscription and never look back at music streaming services again - hooray

Yes, yes it does

Lol Liz Truss

We launched GenExile, our solarpunk city-builder, in Early Access last week. We had ~35k wishlists before launch (not a barnburner but not nothin'). And they said, "Well, there's no way you'll convert literally 0% of your wishlists to sales." I looked them dead in the eyes and said, "Watch me."

lol

tl;dr - down with yellow paint

As an apparently freakishly fast touch-typer, I'm now addicted to the demo of Final Sentence, a hardcore competitive battle royale typing game: store.steampowered.com/app/4021860/...

Whenever I read a new headline about the dickhead's new ballroom, all I can think about is Mike's Marbleopolis: www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWGP...

Life tip: do not be a man who likes the vehicle

Rich was a level designer on Bioshock 2, then Senior LD on Dishonored 1, then Lead LD on Prey. Hire him you fools

I DRINK YOUR NONLINEAR KALEIDOSCOPIC HORROR NARRATIVE I DRINK IT UP

this is the funniest thing the internet has produced in a long time, but only for the small group of us millennials who came of age around south london. amazing that an american has nailed this so perfectly youtube.com/shorts/NZtfn...

With the collapse or enshittification of practically every website in 2025, my heart skipped a beat when it occurred to me that zombo.com might no longer be around. But thankfully, zombo.com is still zombo com:

Play all these games, go back and play Silent Hill Shattered Memories, watch Brandon Cronenberg’s movies then take a look at the state of the world and you can start to imagine what is in the oven over here
