Don't get tricked by the hustler catgirl 🐱 #lowpoly #gamedev #indiegames

You know what I find sad? Under other circumstances, I would kind of enjoy the surrealism/absurdity of AI generated art. Like, it looks fucked up and weird like an alien trying to recreate human art without getting it, because it kinda is. If you told me that 5 years ago I'd think it sounded sick

This image will make sense when I quote this post two weeks from now.

A time-capsule glimpse of one of the most fascinating companies of the Japanese computer game scene of the 80s: Bothtec. Crammed into the upper floor of a former café, and founded off the back of Enix game design contest wins and sales of those games. 📖: MSX Magazine, March 1986,

now I just need to make an operating system...

lots of pain in the world but sometimes you stumble on a stranger’s obsessive wikipedia table. michelangelo had the sistine chapel, this guy had the “guess who” article. perhaps both sacred

huge notice that pops up if you try to edit the cat article

wikimedia commons category "abandoned shopping carts"

recently discovered that wikipedia volunteers have a hilariously high bar for what constitutes "unusual death"

Some actual renders of models are happening, and what better character to do that with than the main protagonist! #gamedev #indiedev #blender

Thank god that the bus is late or I'd have a problem. Bless the NS and their ever reliable unreliability

god I love old survival horror

I missed my bus stop. The next one was 10 minutes later in Nowhere, Nieuwegein, where i had to wait 13 minutes for a new bus, which then took again 10 minutes to get to the stop I needed. So instead of 50 minutes late I arrived 80 minutes late, that sucks

I'm prototyping a new keyboard

I don't think I feel a greater disconnect from any other human being than people who list their hobbies as "Food and travel". Considering "Hobbies: food and travel" describes 95% of my relatives, I think I disprove that thing people say of "people are attracted to people like their mom"

Perfect Narrative Evaluation System (P-NES) devised with @ratgirl.bsky.social, originally for visual novels, but now it has proven to be useful and usable for just about any work of art provided without any further explanation

we should bring back insane and cryptic unlock requirements for secrets

@mariobrothblog.bsky.social is my favourite social media account in the whole damn internet btw, someone so meticulously dedicated to random pieces of trivia about Mario games is exactly the sort of thing I imagine at least one alternative universe version of me is doing

Daily Doodle #2: I saw a bee plushie in my room. Somewhat related to it, this birthed out of my hands.

Some pixel art I made during August~ #pixelart

scene doe ~

TIL You cannot post gifs to bluesky from your own computer and have them animate. ... Oh god is this what is finally going to make me make a Tumblr...?

Okay since I wanna try getting better at drawing, and people say you have to "draw" for that, I'm gonna try something. Daily doodle #1: Lil robot dancing line (I really hope it does not look like crap from being upscaled from tiny pixel size)

THERE IS A NEW NUCLEAR THRONE UPDATE COMING OUT WHAATTTTTTTTTT

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

So retro!

Degoogling your life feels like a full time job but I'm happy to do it, and I will feel way safer when I'll successfully have moved everything out of their services. Started looking into it a while ago, thanks to a dev friend who's been looking into that too!

I just found out COD: Black Ops 7 is a game that exists. Forgive my shock and ignorance, but when did Black Ops 4, 5, and 6 happen?! What in the world is wrong with us.

Hey, have you played GET IN THE CAR, LOSER!, my lesbian road trip RPG about an anxious trans lesbian going on an adventure to fight a reactionary cult summoning an ancient evil? It's currently on Steam store.steampowered.com/app/938860/G... and also available on your local Nintendo Switch eShop!

The worst thing about writing science fiction is naming things and the second worst thing about writing science fiction is that all the best names for things were already taken in the 1980s

Winding down my final Gamescom day, I didn't keep count but I think approximately 20 or more people (I think more) have asked to take pictures with/of my Balatro costume I had a lot of fun these past days, but think next year I'll keep it at 2 days, I'm beat 😅 Anyways here's my fav fotos of today!

Something I didn't mention in my story yesterday: one of the reasons that Team Cherry had such an enjoyable time making Silksong is that it's 2D. Nice and flat. Don't have to worry about 3D art pipelines. In other words, all video games should be 2D

PC/MAC/SWITCH RELEASE DAY LETS GO!!!!!! It was so hard to keep it a secret 🐁💛

I'm at the Gamescom congress, only just realising that this is a bit maybe more serious professional than anywhere I have been before. For context, this is how I came to Gamescom today. (The one of the left)

My name is Nico. I made the going back to Gamescom today. It was difficult to put the train subscription together. Unfortunately, Deutsche Bahn went so wrong. And now I can't do anything, but buy two stupid train tickets each day! My name is Nico, Nico...

Apologies for my most recent post, my brain was fried after a full day of Gamescom, and a filter I didn't even know existed broke down

*Me at the Leper colony* "Yo I wanna hit that leprussy" (I am so sorry)

Heading home from Gamescom day 1, after about 8 and a half hours here, till feel like I've barely seen anything. They weren't lying, this convention do be big time

Good news: Laptop repaired. Bad news: Laptop stickers lost.
