I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

De Superstation One is een zogenaamde fpga-console, waarmee je games op hardwareniveau emuleert, in dit geval tot en met de Nintendo 64. Dit is één van de goedkoopste manieren om aan zo'n opensourcemachine te komen -- maar hoe toegankelijk is die? #superstationone #retrogames #playstation1

The wonderful and lovely looking Find Your Words from @capybaragames.com is out now. It's a short but impactful free to play game created to spread awareness of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC). My mom made use of a talking computer at some point during her illness so I had to share.

I've wished for Arab-made games about Arab mythology for so long, and despite assisting on the project I still can't believe there's one swinging for the fences this hard. House of Hikmah is something very needed in a time where the world would rather erase us. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZTu...

'This is the worst item I have ever bought from Amazon' AI grifters are selling fake video game guidebooks, some even masquerading as 'official' releases: aftermath.site/video-game-gui...

GenAI isn't a useful placeholder when making video games. It doesn't save time, and it actively stifles the creative process. Here's what local devs think: @untitledlucegame.bsky.social @mickey.ghoulish.com.au @madmacsfuryroad.bsky.social @theboyofcheese.bsky.social @tdogextreme.bsky.social + more.

So this special little game, the first industry game I ever worked on, is out TOMORROW!! People of Note is such a huge part of who I am as an artist and developer today. Every environment has a piece of my heart in it. I hoped that someday people would be able to play it, and it's finally here 🥹❤️

Had a good brainstorming session with @advicechameleon.bsky.social recently for a project that might actually become, at least, a vertical slice that I can show off. Now I need to figure out how to break it all down and make the necessary nodes etc. in Godot. Lots of work I'm afraid, but hyped!

In sad news, the creator of the classic Double Dragon games has passed away. I put so many hours into Double Dragon II as a kid. While Streets of Rage 2 remains as one of my most fav beat-em-ups, you can't deny the impact of the DD on the genre. www.timeextension.com/news/2026/04...

Whoopty Fucking Doo!

The leak of that Anthropic "AI" code, I refuse to use its name henceforth" has told me one thing looking at the code. One thing I've been saying for a while now. It's all a fucking scam. Complete horseshit. There is one thing that is impressive about it. That it's even dumber than I thought.

I’m fucking crying dude. Asking “pretty please do not introduce a security vulnerability”.

People really don't imagine how many of their favorite games are commercial failures. Making a good game may help with sales, but it's not the main factor. And both players and devs need to realize that.

Aan het begin van dit millennium werden we overspoeld door Mega Man-games, waardoor bij gamers de interesse in de serie afnam. Met de komst van Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection krijgt de subreeks een nieuwe kans en Sven neemt die aan. #megaman #capcom #retrogames #nintendods

One of the games I'm looking forward to this year has been @regularstudio.bsky.social's #Motorslice. We now finally have a release... Month! Yep, a month. Not an exact day...Yet! Looks great and can't wait for the DnB soundtrack by @pizzahotline.bsky.social Seriously, check it out!

Swedemason has been back for a bit now, and this one dropped a month ago. It's literally house music. And brilliant, once again. 😄 www.youtube.com/watch?v=16DR...

I guffawed when I first saw this. Fuck you and your copyright when you've been the one stealing other people's work for your plagiarism machine.

One day, if we're lucky and get on task, we'll have footage made by people in a space shuttle filming the launch of a crewed interstellar expedition. I want you to consider that possibility, and how far all the wars and hate of petty men we vote into power remove us from that. We rob ourselves.

REALIS IS LIVE! After 5 years of development, countless hours of playtesting, and invaluable ashcan feedback, the hardcover edition of @austinwalker.bsky.social's debut TTRPG Realis is now funding on Kickstarter April 1-30.

Apropos of nothing, I keep thinking about that video of the robotics designer kicking himself in the nuts with his own robot. And I chuckle. It's just so perfect for this day and age. 😆

GODDAMN I love making comics. Okay. So we did a story very dear to my heart in Uncanny X-Men, about mutants during the Jim Crow era, called THE DARK ARTERY. It featured a new character named LADY HENRIETTA, and people just took to her in a beautiful way. They asked for more. 1/

Fuck this, fuck the companies doing this. Stop using them if they choose to fuck people over like this. I hope creators decide to boycott them.

Saw the news this morning that we might get seven data centers in my tiny ass country. Then I remembered this video from two days ago and there's a major chance these seven new majorly polluting data centers might be a lie too despite permits being given for some fucking reason.

Hello! AM2R Project 2.0 needs your help to make it across the finish line. If you're a pixel artist that can match the existing style and quality and want to help out, we would love to talk.

Sad that some game makers think they have to resort to AI in their process. Have you forgotten how to love yourself? Every great game you played growing up was made without it.

This is such a smart & thoughtful thread. Not just abt HP. Goes much deeper, exploring how shame & narcissism figure in today’s world.

DING DONG, THE WITCH IS DEAD! I mean, technically it was never alive or "intelligent" but you get the fucking idea. And it's DEAD dead according to the WSJ who mention that they're killing off the developer version and are winding down video model products entirely. And there was much rejoicing!

This was a fucking masterclass in interviewing. Crucial for any of us whose work has become fodder for AI churn in this dystopian hellscape but also just a hell of an interview for ANYONE on capitalism and exploitation, and what CEOs really think of you:

Once again I must share a #KEXP live performance. Just learned of them and this has been online for a month now. No idea how that happened. Anyway, Angine de Poitrine from Saguenay, Quebec is the next big rock band. Weird, and odd, but that bassline is doing something to me! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Oooohh, there's going to be a new Patlabor game! Coming to Steam and PlayStation 5. With over 20 Labors, and scenes from the show, hopefully the movies as well. Heck yeah! store.steampowered.com/app/3275400/...

My (Dutch) Screamer review is up, and the rebooted 2026 linear arcade-racer has the potential to become sleeper-hit of the year. I've enjoyed it quite a bit despite having to get used to the controls and a particular mode where I had to restart a race multiple times. Also, it's anime AF which I ❤️

Everybody who tried to argume with me about the water and energy consumption of "AI" abd data centers can go jump in a fucking lake. While they can still find any.

Considered? It is.

How I do know it's spring? FECKIN' HAYFEVER KICKED IN WITH GUSTO TODAY 😡 First thing tomorrow: Call my doctor and ask for their strongest stuff. UGH.

Well fuck this. For those who are still wishing for a release outside of Japan, good luck. 🤮🤮🤮 mynintendonews.com/2026/03/22/s...

It is with extreme worry that I see things like this unfold on the other side of the North Sea. As far as I can tell this hasn't happened (yet) in The Netherlands, but I am sure there are right-wing extremists who would love to ban LGBTQIA+ literature. We need to be vigilant about this.

Spotify pays Rogan at least a quarter of a billion a year to push some of the most vile conspiracy theories about minorities from the fringe into public consciousness. Seriously, today is a great day to cancel your subscription.

Just a reminder that we have alternatives to right wing billionaire-owned news orgs. Here's a starter pack of LOCAL journalists and news outlets. In general, vastly less vulnerable to right wing bullshit. go.bsky.app/FzSc9z

STOP. USING. GOOGLE. SEARCH! There are way better search engines.

Would be cool if they can reach this stretch goal! I can't contribute directly, but I can share this, so here you go! Seriously, play the demo, it feels fresh and VERY poignant right now.

Hope everyone still has the NFT that grants them access to the Metaverse funeral! www.404media.co/rip-metavers...

SHOW US YOUR GAMEESSSSSS!!!!!! 👉👈🥹

Years ago, HyperRPG created #KOllOK, a wonderful live ttrpg on Twitch with a similar vibe. What they did with it was unprecedented, with viewers able to influence what happened during the broadcast. It utilized the #KidsOnBikes system by @renegadegamestudios.com. Well worth a watch nowadays imo.

All the indie authors who use AI for their covers because “what am I supposed to do, I can’t afford an artist” would probably have a melt down if artists did paintings and had AI write books to go with the paintings. Anyway, shout out to indie authors who have really bad photoshop covers.

📢 SPREAD THE WORD... The immaculate @alphachromeyayo.com is the composer for our next indie game 🎉🎉🎉
