Next week there will be another existential boogeyman designed to discourage you from pursuing art. There will always be a mosquito in your ear trying to convince you your creativity has no value. Let this Sora situation be a lesson. Stop getting pushed around by scammers. Make art

the leaks i got a few weeks ago suggested that the tilly norwood skin would finally get added to fortnite today, time to take a big sip of water while i check my rss feeds

Important work today

I love test rooms and the stupid little untold stories they hold within them

Counterpoint: I find it kind of off-putting, like the authors lacked the self-confidence to twist it into something distinct by injecting more of themselves into it, instead settling for a faded photocopy of something I already have. A VHS dub generations deep.

Sometimes my friends message me to comment on some internet drama or other under the assumption that I already know about it. Which, honestly, is great fun because it means I get to go on a delightful little scavenger hunt.

Heretic 2's always been kind of a pain in the ass to get working on modern PCs. Heretic2R is a new reverse-engineered source port that alleviates much of this, and its first release just dropped: github.com/m-x-d/Hereti...

Tonight at 8PM AEDT (5AM ET)! We have unfinished business in Egypt. There are so many more skeletons left to shred with a chaingun larger than I am. Serious Sam: The First Encounter continues unabated.

I think my favorite "placeholder that slipped into the final game" story was the menu system in Symphony of the Night. Like, the entire menu system. They just got too used to it and simply forgot to gussy it up for the final version.

i've bought BREAD more expensive than this, and that bread didn't even offer 20 hours of playtime

Tonight at 8PM AEDT (5AM ET)! It's been an entire quarter of a century since a small indie team in the Balkans shocked and surprised the world by making a videogame. Let's dig it up, scrape the mold off, and see how well Serious Sam holds up 25 years on...!

lmbo it's actually real this time it's not just me meming about some videogame company fucking up

using court-ordered funds to obtain my "rapidgator survivor 2020" t-shirt

hello "gog games" (if that is your real name) i will give you dollars if you fix interstate 76 this is the kind of threat that can only be described as "a transaction" (SFX CUE: stephen weyte voice) if thou desireth glory... 𝙘𝙡𝙖𝙞𝙢 𝙞𝙩

sadly did not live up to the hype

Just came across my first Bandcamp album that disables the ability to wishlist it. Why the fuck is THAT even an OPTION? I WANT to give you money, but my wallet is empty and my brain is full of holes! Give me the OPTION to remember you for later! Jesus CHRIST.

it's been half a decade cunce, just throw xliveless in the depot and walk away i promise i won't dob you in

the @digitaleclipse.bsky.social compilations are a quotation goldmine for the ages

every coder i know

Yo, is OpenFortress out yet? I feel the insatiable urge to get repeatedly, instantly digi-murdered by a platoon of Adderalled-up Swedes ricocheting off of every solid surface conceivable, but Quake Live is dead and Quake Champions takes too long to download.

i think it would be cool if some weirdo make a purposeful aesthetic that includes the terrible looking chroma key, 100% ADR dialogue and 1080p resolution of star wars episode 2 attack of the clones

It's time to play everybody's favorite game: "blood-smeared crazed ramblings of an insane murderer" or "polite request to the environment artist"?

is it a bad sign when the bus driver parks, opens the door, unbuckles his seatbelt, strips stark naked and walks off into the frozen tundra never to be seen again, leaving us all stranded

while we're all busy being angry at DLSS5 being the gamergate filter can we take a moment to relitigate the fact that DLSS sucks ass and always has. it looks bad! It has always looked bad! It will always look worse than just actually rendering the image at the target resolution.

haven’t watched the nvidia thing yet, how loudly did the digital foundry guy cum while watching it

Theme park heads: Can anyone substantiate the game Descent being shown at EPCOT? (would've been 94 or 95)

I recently recovered the missing disk side of Amstrad CPC6128 New York Warriors from the original development disk. The game's author, Fred Williams, has now kindly given permissions for the game to be shared in all its glory!

Exciting news for fans of questionable-quality FPS games from the darkest depths of the PS360 era: Turok 2008 finally has a mod to properly fix the nausea-inducing FOV without breaking ADS, distant rendering and like five other things! community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/3...

Whether it's AI, streaming services, privacy, or anything other Current Hot Hot Tech Topic, it's always incredibly funny when the overtly-online blast out arm-length threads to the effect of "______ is bad, except for my friends and I's use of ______, which is good".

I don’t pay a huge amount of attention to the Tomb Raider community but watching them gather as a singular, united mass outside Aspyr’s window with increasingly-exotic torture implements has been very funny.

plus ça change...

“Louis Theroux: Into the Manosphere” is pretty disappointing. I thought he was going to interview Torgo

From the archives, circa 2015. I should do more stuff like this.

You know a subscription service is good when you consistently receive the “your subscription is renewing soon” email exactly 24 hours after it renews.

i have decided to open the main xbe from project gotham racing in a hex editor to kill some time while i am rendering some stuff and found the placeholder names for the game radios that are: Shite Dance, Shite Rock, Wank Dance Collection, Wank Rock Collection
