who cares? don't tie your morality up with consuming the "correct" media, and even more than that, don't get spooked when the wrong people also like it. the saudi crown prince LOVES one piece. bitch you ARE a celestial dragon. that's YOU!

Saw this at the store today and I applaud the resourcefulness

Approx. 12 hours until I drive out to MAGfest

I hate how impossible it is to search google images for just a simple lineart of something without finding unscalable mountains of AI slop

MAGfest is next week and all I can think about is that SWEET SWEET, INVITE ONLY GLIZZY PARTY

I got to hear Ievan Polkka in the wild

2025 was p okay- I mean MOST years suck, but I did a lot of traveling and had some good experiences, and I ended the year in a way I hadn't in many years, so it's alright by me!

It's amazing how neckbeards think they're being funny when they say really creepy, stalkery things

LRP: Genuinely I hate how Steam Reviews are. You either get really thoughtful ones that detail their likes and dislikes (rare), or you get meme/baseless garbage from .2 hours played that doesn't actually review the game at all but affects your rating one way or the other (common).

Steam Reviews are a cesspit for many reasons and this is probably the worst. Honestly I wish they would turn them off. And the forums. Just have thumb ups.

"What was your biggest impact on the internet?" I dunno if this is the biggest and it's not super apparent just from this screenshot, but it's one I'm proud of- I started that trend of "Your game is too much like *".

ATTENTION ARTISTS AND ANY ASPIRING PIXEL ARTISTS!!! Aseprite is on sale on Steam!! It's a Pixel art program for art/animating and I highly recommend! (I have almost 700 hours in it!) It's $13 and a one time payment for an excellent program!!

MERRY CRIMMIN everybody! For everybody who owns Prison City on Steam- I've uploaded the 1.0.4.0 update to the BETA branch (opt in) on Steam ahead of its release! It may have bugs, but- I wanted to make it available for people who want to check it out early! store.steampowered.com/news/app/217...

People think games just manifest from the aether and don’t take an insane amount of work and sacrifice to create lol

Just checked, it’s true

I've just released the TYPECAST demo... two years after the initial game released! Here's the catch. It's not really a demo. It's the whole ass game for FREE but without leaderboards. If you want to compete upon the altar of pain then you gotta give me $4.99 gutter-arcade.itch.io/typecast

CHRISTMAS WINNERS: Prison City: @voidzahar.bsky.social AVGN: @kalcaser9.bsky.social Gonna drop y'all a DM! If you didn't win (sorry!) but you still wanna check the games out, here's the links- store.steampowered.com/app/2179860/... store.steampowered.com/app/3445490/...

Its her day

You have until I select the winners to enter!! This means... at LEAST 8 and a half hours?! MAYBE? 🎁

So many “once remake part 3 is out I’m never buying Square Enix games again” people and uhhh I hate to break it to them- if they’re still buying the products knowing this is a thing, they’ve got some flimsy values lol being ok with it for one more game knowing this and then no more is dumb.

~!CHRISTMAS GIVEAWAY!~ I'm going to give away a copy of PRISON CITY on Steam and a copy of AVGN 8-BIT on Steam! You know the drill- LIKE and REPOST, but also reply with which one you want! I'll pick people CHRISTMAS MORNING

In case anyone is confused about what “indie” means vs not indie (it’s not nebulous)- this is a good example of something that could happen to a studio that’s not indie, but not to one that is.

I don't think people quite understand that people who are pro/invested in genAI have been trying to muddy the discussion since the start. They want idiots replying accusing everything as being AI or asking "Is this AI?" because it makes the layman fatigued with the discourse.

Devs gifted some keys to us for Terminator 2D: No Fate and I've been playing through it- it's pretty fun. I appreciate how easy it is to play a mission or two and go back to it later.

Fell asleep to a Detroit: Become Human longplay last night and I kept waking up in the middle of the night to random scenes from it. ENDED UP BUYING IT TODAY and it's ok. It's not the MOST Detroit game around (that's Prison City), but it's certainly some Detroit!

I guess now that this update is out, I can finally reveal that I had absolutely nothing to do with it, but this game is worth your time and money so you should PLAY IT.

Ordered 3 individual 12oz bottles of Gatorade for $3 Got 3 cases for $3

Whoa, fuck humble.

Feels strange to hold the finished product. Hard not to reflect on the whole year+ to get here. Drawing through a slipped disc, PT, juggling other projects, FT job, family, losing our dog. It was a lot. I just wanted to make the best Mega Man book I could. I hope you enjoy it.

I was gonna play FF9 but I really just wanna play X again because it's lovely and I love it

I really don't play too many games but I'm surprised I hit 33

Well, I beat it. There are things to really enjoy about this, but maaaaaaan I didn't enjoy most of it. It felt like it was constantly making me do some stupid convoluted "talk to a specific square multiple times to progress" stuff and a TON of backtracking and I didn't appreciate that- but!

I promise you a little bit of sweet heat BBQ in your fried rice will change your life

I'm sorry, but "AA" and "AAAA" are stupid pedantic terms that muddy terminology and create scapegoats for actual problems with AAA

People talk about "Indie vs AAA" all the time, but the real thing we need to fear is AAA companies masquerading as "indie".

I just read "Thank you kindly" as "Thank you mildly" and now I wanna use that for when I'm not really that thankful
