Question for my US moots - there's been previous times where democratic senators have rolled over and broken party ranks to capitulate to republican demands, and they get rightly vilified on talk shows and social meda. Q: Does this ever catch up with them? Because I get the impression: "Not often."

I read a thread about games with terrible UI earlier and this video has been destroying me all day.

I'm very tired the morning after, but pleased to report that Delta Green does indeed slap hard! I think I expected more x-files than call of cthulu, but our GM nailed the horror, and busted out the most unhinged monster performances.

Anyone in London want to swing by before work?

Fall Guys veterans establish new studio Panic Stations

ladies and gentlemen...we got him

Spot on thread

I would never admit to such an embarrassing failure of imagination as not understanding why Steam- Steam! Has market dominance and yet still trying multiple times to create a competitor platform through blindly throwing cash at other peoples startups.

I used to work at a small shop that made little plastic vampires. There were only 2 of us working there, so I had to make every second count.

Zohran caught in LIES: Mamdani claims to have "loved Final Fantasy III" when he was growing up. yet research indicates that the game he played was in fact the SIXTH Final Fantasy game

The piss tank on the ISS is now 69% full.

Seeing a talk by Fanny Weidner “Building Tech Art Skills without a Map”, and it has this slide. It is probably the most accurate and short description I have seen of what tech artist skills are required nowadays. It’s ridiculously varied, and studios expect you to solve anything.

Overheard at GIC: “Let me tell you about some PTSD, also known as an ‘anecdote’ in the game industry…”

Sexy Secure Boot on PopOS with rEFInd MOKUtil not launching?

Old article I wrote about these missiles back in the day: blog.littlepolygon.com/posts/missile/

taking a small break from concrete to make a texture that I'm surprised I haven't already made. some stone wall arches.

I'm not a git expert by any means, but I know my way around enough. Reading up on Jujutsu makes it sound like the quirks which make it unique are either how I use git already, or how I wish git worked! www.stavros.io/posts/switch...

I spend a year plotting a mystery novel and then this happens.

I spent this afternoon driving through the cloud covered Scottish highlands, along rainwashed winding back roads, listening to the Heavensward soundtrack. Just a perfect pairing.

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

My least favourite thing to purchase now is something that I know by all rights should be cheap, but I want one that's not shit, or overpriced dropshipper crap. Example: A simple protein shaker bottle that won't deteriorate in the dishwasher. The idea of even looking on amazon for one exhausts me.

I was trying to explain to a non-techy person why AI is in the marketing of every product. "you know how for a while every health or beauty product contained 'Activated Charcoal'?..."

My finished FFTactics piece, just in time for the The Ivalice Chronicle release. Excited to pour another 100 hours into this masterpiece all over again!!

I now have 8 boss fight map markers in Silksong at the end of act 2. I've really been enjoying the platforming challenges, and exploring such a detailed world for secrets... But the tool economy just puts me off completely. Even if I wanted to spend an evening grinding the same boss. (not really).

#inkjam25 has begun! This year, it's a generous 8-day jam, and the theme is THE BIG SWITCH If you want to join, you still can:

Waypoint is live 🚀 Nearly a year in the making — a custom-curated calendar for indie games, updated every few days with new gems. Every game since June 2024 (and more) is already in there. We’re building in public, and your feedback will shape it. 👉 waypoint.indieformer.com

We really wanted to capture a gradient as you move from civilization to wilderness, which has benefited a lot from a painterly, organic style. The Deepwoods are a space where people rarely tread. We visited the Puzzlewood, a temperate rainforest in the UK, and found useful reference there.

Working on one of those game dev tasks today where every step along the way I discover it actually contains another, prerequisite task too. Gonna go help my dad build a shed and see if that's any different.

It's time! Lost Skies is OUT NOW on Steam! Gather your crew, build your skyship and take on the skies. Available now with a limited-time launch discount! 🔗 PLAY NOW: bit.ly/LostSkies #LostSkies #Survival #IndieDevs #OutNow

My steamdeck has always had a weirdly unreliable RB button, and playing silksong has made it almost completely unresponsive. Not feeling great about the chances of getting a fix through support so long after purchase, but this is pretty shitty ☹️

I love this analytical take on video game categorization from Antoine Mayerowitz and Julie Belzanne: hushcrasher.substack.com/p/taxonomy-o... Instead of trying to vibe-intuit the definition of an "indie" game, the authors analyzed the data from the perspective of game size and credits length

- Concept: Dariya Demchenko - This is the money shot of my newest art project, which you can find on my Artstation (link in bio). Multiple disciplines came together to forge this animated picture. #VFX #Niagara #GameDev #TechArt

Getting a brand new book ordered that the library didn't have feels like a kind of victory of society working as intended. Something that is just rarer and rarer by the day. Also, I heard good things about this series! Follow up post if I remember.

Wait, we have bookmarks now? Since when have we had bookmarks? 🤩

You join us live from Danny Dyer’s birthday drinks.

lmao silksong has one last pre-release meme for us all

I enjoyed this. And what an infectious laugh. ❤️ "Reporter left speechless after witnessing Japan's new $70 million Maglev train in action at 310 mph"

editor ui obscured by clouds. beautiful. profound. nature is healing

I un-muted the word 'Trump' for this. Here's to hoping.

Today was the day BlueSky finally became Twitter
