I had my hopes up for the new Skate, but it’s not doing it for me. The sticky physics are disappointing, but the corporate wrapping is borderline distressing.

Imagining some sort of Willy Wonka-style tour through an incredible sardine factory.

In Portugal having a coffee and there’s an eagle just chilling out in the tree next to us

This is why everything sucks. It's not trans people. It's not immigrants. You are being robbed blind before your eyes and those same people also own all the tech and media networks to tell you that the cause is not them

I wonder if the Prime Minister might have anything to say today about how the world's richest man urged a huge fascist mob to effect a change in government and incited them to violence, because I feel like that's not something we should encourage

Two trials will be repeated endlessly despite always producing the same results: 1) Does UBI work? (yes) 2) Does AI improve productivity? (no)

Last nights session of Silksong made me think ‘oh no, they’ve overturned the difficulty’ coz I got stuck on a difficult main path area/boss. Turns out I missed one thing that would have trivialised the whole section. A character even tells you about this.

Silksong and Hollow Knight would both be better if bosses needed 2 or 3 less hits per phase.

£15.99 for Silksong is bananas cheap. Here we go!

The mental health benefits of not knowing any history right now must be massive. Moving through your day with total equanimity. What happens next? Who knows? Maybe something good

I started skateboarding 4 weeks ago as a little treat to my aging body. It’s been great fun learning something new and extremely difficult! I thought I’d get laughed out local skatepark for being tooo ollldddd but it turns out everyone is friendly and supportive, especially the other aging rad dads.

This collective push to trash the ECHR is the scariest shit man.

Oh yeah I'm watching Andor too. I'm one of the tens of people on the planet that doesn't care about Star Wars at all, but I'm completely gripped. Can't believe it really. It's good telly innit? Not a Jedi in sight either, much to it's benefit.

Went and saw Weapons in an actual movie theatre last week. Absolutely loved it, and honestly a great audience experience too. Adored the sound design and music too, laser-focused minimalism that you don't get much of these days!

Every damn day. Here's something I didn't know. The tech in data centers will be obsolete in the blink of an eye. futurism.com/data-centers...

This youtube piece on comedy/politics podcast brainrot and social media unreality is pretty engrossing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewvR...

I go for a swim in the open air pool every Friday, and let me tell you the cycle home past every seafront fish and chip shop is absolute torture.

Seeking available top-tier pixel artist for major global title. Strong character poses emphasis (static higher res and/or low-res animation role). Can’t share current project art, but anim ref here from Jack Move. Please recommend or share portfolio. #pixelart #gamedev

Posted this a few months ago when itch went offline (following the bogus phishing report from Funko), still very relevant today for different reasons

I don’t mind grilled beyond meat burgers at all. They’re absolutely alright.

It's the 10th anniversary of Everybody's Gone to the Rapture. Here's a thread of images that very few people will have seen. Thanks to the opportunity that Sony Santa Monica gave us, we had the freedom to explore ideas, even if that meant we left a lot of amazing work on the cutting room floor...

really feels like housing affordability is one of the most important political issues of our time, affecting nearly every aspect of our lives, and everyday our mainstream political discourse is about whether sour cream is woke or not

ICYMI we just released a new update to CorpoNation! Endless Mode 📈 #indiegamedev

We added a new game-mode to CorpoNation and fixed some bugs! Mental health challenges made it hard to work on this game after we launched it originally, so I'm extremely proud we finally managed to get an update out. To anyone that's played it and liked it, pls consider leaving us a review. 🙏

my new ai device will sit in a beer garden that backs onto a small river and drink three to five pints on a sunny late summer afternoon for you, leaving you free for more meetings and business calls

Have you ever wondered, 'what is the most beautiful piece of music ever recorded'? The answer is the Fireman Sam theme sung in Welsh. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1B4b...

Absolutely dystopian juxtaposition from the Guardian front page. Difficult to understand how anyone of decency and conscience can defend this government at this point. Just sheer moral degeneracy to arm a state that does this and arrest people for objecting. Wtf are we doing as a country?

This is the best cookbook I’ve ever owned. I’ve always wanted an Indian grandma to teach me how to properly cook Indian food, and this has been the next best thing.

Finished a Black Books rewatch and then started Sandman series 2, and I can’t help but think of how much better it would be if Dylan Moran was the god of dreams.

Cool ring bro.

I’m going to be around Develop a bit tomorrow, and maybe a bit on Wednesday. Say hi whydontcha!

@wadjeteyegames.bsky.social I think it’s that time of year again where we say hi at Develop!

Modern controls Zangief is the most fun I’ve had in street fighter in ages.

Same small group of individuals who did it in the UK a couple of years before. Remember that as recently as 2018 self-ID for trans people was the policy of the *Conservative Party* over here.

This is it, the thing that has caused me to lose my mind today.

My heart goes out to everyone affected by the chronic layoffs going on at the moment. It's painful to see friends and colleagues I've worked with over the years who I know are exceptional at their jobs get unceremoniously dumped.

Kae Tempest is a legend.

I’ve wanted to go to Glastonbury all my life but hate camping at festivals, and haven’t figured out how to square this circle yet.

The Brighton experience is leaving your flat to buy milk, discovering that house legend Roger Sanchez is playing a pop-up festival next door and joining the inpromptu crowd that’s formed on the seafront to pretend you’re in Ibiza for a couple of hours.

FOLKS HAVE YOU HEARD OF BRIGHTON LOADING BAR OR ARE YOU NOT SMOOTH Well here's why you should get your stoopid azzes to the best place to relax if you like computer games like me. It's @loading.bar HURRY UP

RIP Brian Wilson. A Titan of songwriting. One of the greatest to ever do it. youtu.be/S22a1CITgj0?...

I’ve done a comprehensive study and can conclude with certainty: Rude Buster is the greatest RPG battle theme of all time.

Rosewater, Old Skies, Kathy Rain 2 and The Drifter... us adventure game fans are eatin' good in 2025!

My entirely pen & ink, actually-was-drawn-on-paper, first-person adventure is 50% off this weekend (Steam, PC). lose yourself in a peaceful, meditative, picture-book world. Reviews are greatly appreciated - good, bad, or indifferent 🖤 store.steampowered.com/app/2581960/...

This series of episodes of Toon in particular has some deep belly laughs, is super accessible and has great production as always!

Wilmot's packed up all his stuff as he's moving house to the Nintendo Switch next week! He'll need you to help decorate his new home in-between doing all those jigsaws he's ordered. Wilmot Works It Out - coming to Switch on May 22nd.

Got to see Max Cooper’s big laser show at the Brighton Dome last night. Incredible visuals and music, and a nice reminder that I need to hear a giant kick drum now and again to feel fully human.

Music pals - are there any good books or professional workshops on mastering music that I should be looking at? I just watched a YouTube tutorial where someone just digitally clipped their master bus with 8db of makeup gain, and that doesn’t strike me as, uh, good practice.

For the second season of Quinns Quest I’ve been making a bunch of AdLib-core midi tunes, living out my dream of being a 90s multimedia composer. It’s been very good fun!
