"we USE ai, but our game wont CONTAIN it" is a clarification that no one has ever cared about & now CEOs are using it as a wedge to get their foot in the door as a part of a long term plan into normalizing AI, just like how 'it's just placeholder' was used with E33. dont cede even an inch of ground

The number of achievements is taunting me, I swear

Wrote a blog post so long that bearblog won't show it.

The Game Awards once again reminding me how few games from this year I played and how every game coming out in 2 years is a soulslike.

It is once again time for my monthly post about Bandcamp Friday! If you buy today, Bandcamp will waive their share of the revenue for artists. Buy something from the artists that were at the top of your streamer-of-choice's year-in-review! flyer95.bandcamp.com

Seems like a good time to advocate for using literally anything other than Spotify for listening to music. Buy it from artists directly through Bandcamp or Qobuz, use a different streaming service, or just steal it.

goes without saying today obvs - fuck spotify, use bandcamp, switch to another streaming service, pirate if needed. but in addition to all of this, curating your own physical music collection thru CDs, tapes, vinyls, etc is a really wonderful way to get to know your own music collection.

“The number one thing that we’re here to defend as artists is humanity… We’re here not to think about makes human life easy, what makes it convenient, but what it’s like to actually live.”

having a normal one right now

I've been using an iPod Classic the last few months of this year and it's been so much better than using my phone. I've been building my music library, discovering new favorites, and just feel more connected to my music because it's MINE.

Greetings, Combatants! 🦎⚔️ Transfusion will be at Oak City Indie Games 2025 (@oakcityindie.bsky.social) next week with some new content the team has been cooking up! Fight in our fast-paced VR hack and slash game to earn your freedom! We hope to see you there! #indiegames #gamedev #vr

#BandcampFriday playlist of what I bought for this month! Not a whole lot since I've been buying CDs throughout the month.

Here are the steps for how to contact your reps about the bill that will take away insurance coverage for trans healthcare for ADULTS: 1. Go to reps.fyi 2. Put in your address 3. Find your house & senate reps 4. To call type in phone # under name 5. Call the number and use the script in the QT 1/4

Genuinely powerful words to live by.

Every time I work on a coding project I reach a point where I start to forget how exactly everything works together. I just start adding and modifying stuff under the thought process of "this will probably break but I hope it doesn't".

Haul from #BandcampFriday (at least so far, might get more later today). Support artists! I've made a playlist using Bandcamp's new playlist feature so I don't have to make long threads, yay! bandcamp.com/flyer_95/pla...

Gonna link back to this but just start a Ghost blog or something at this point, its never been easier. aftermath.site/website-musk...

silksong honestly should cost 40 bucks and i'm not even joking i won't go so far as to say it's bad it doesn't, but! it will have Effects, and not all of those effects are Good

It's always funny to see comments under songs from games and movies of people going "____ didn't have to go this hard for [Film/Show/Game]" It's like telling a chef they didn't have to cook the appetizer as well as they did. They love making what they make and that's going to show up in the art!

Welp, I guess I have another reason to de-Google. If I couldn't sideload apps then I wouldn't have an Android phone.

Big new content update just went live for Transfusion - new enemy type, new holster system for weapons, additional graphics settings, and perhaps most importantly... Lacerite tails now move with ragdoll physics! Check out the latest changes on Steam now! #gamedev #indiedev #vrdev

Genuinely happy that the 7 year long development time was spent working at a leisurely pace, spending time with their families and flexing their creative muscles - with no pressure to expand their company, deliver sooner or read a single reddit post. Smartest people in our entire industry.

Looking for support among mutuals for it's solitaire: - Sound design - Music

Meta being a "canary in the coal mines" for when a bubble is about to burst would honestly be hilarious.

Something tells me in my bones that this is going to be peak and I'm so here for it.

Planes weren't designed for people as tall as me.

The big news of the day is—Strange Scaffold got a front page spot on Steam! It’s our first-ever publisher sale!! You can get EVERY GAME we’ve ever made for 60 bucks and I did a bunch of work on the gradients and colors to make it all look pretty!!! Ahhh!!!! store.steampowered.com/sale/strange...

My car tried to explode today so now I got a big car bill anyway who want some commissioned art? I draw good ko-fi.com/wavetossedro... #art #commission #commissionsopen #oc

God, I can't wait for the "gen AI" bubble to burst.

Hey, so, TOTALLY not suggesting that RFK Jr. BACKS DOWN when we PUSH BACK, BUT if you’d like to call… HHS Toll-Free: 1-877-696-6775 HHS Direct Line: 202-690-7000 PLEASE share and consider calling your senators and representatives as well. NONE of this is okay. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Hey Americans, if this passes you'll be uploading your ID to every social media and website to access it.

It's #BandcampFriday once again! I don't have anything new out but you can always find my stuff on flyer95.bandcamp.com I'll also be sharing some of the albums and tracks I'm buying today in the thread below so check some of those out too if they catch your interest.

This website allows you to scan you Spotify playlist and look for the albums/tracks on Bandcamp. Works particularly well for Video Games OSTs. Obviously, it will depend on what you listen to and whether it's available on Bandcamp. But nice enough to get you started. hypem.com/merch-table

We've posted an addendum FAQ to our original blog post about NSFW content. You can read it here: itch.io/updates/upda... Thank you for your patience as we navigate through this. We're upset too. We're doing what we can but there are still many unknowns at this point.

“Please send us emails instead” means “we can put key words from your script on our corporate spam filter and ignore you, but calls shut down our entire contact infrastructure” Keep fucking calling.

When I found a pub with an inverted normal map. (If you understand what this means, you have to repost.)

Have you considered turning it off and not turning it back on again

The Dead as Disco demo is so good. The rhythm-based free-flowing combat is so much fun to play and the style is so stylish and slick. Several new pieces of music that are stuck in my head now too. I look forward to seeing how @deadasdiscogame.bsky.social continues to work on it!

Great job everyone

FYI: Soundcloud's Terms of Services. Self-host your music. Learn about HarmonyCloack and Poisonnify. We need them yesterday. m.soundcloud.com/terms-of-use...

if you'd like to see a wide re-release of Hundreds of Beavers in theaters this year, one night only, in thousands of cities — repost this. we've got some doubters.

It's #bandcampfriday and although I don't have anything new to share there are plenty of cool artists that would love the support! #musicsky #musicianfeed

Are all new console releases just going to be this difficult to get going forward? I thought this was only going to be a thing during COVID.

I love paying TurboTax a few hundred bucks every year to figure out how much money I owe the government, which the government already knows, but won't tell me because TurboTax pays legislators to keep the government from telling me. 😻

Bandcamp. Friday. Bandcamp Friday. flyer95.bandcamp.com #MusicianSky #bandcampfriday

This Friday is Bandcamp Friday! Support artists directly, its super cool! flyer95.bandcamp.com

Bandcamp lets us keep 85% of revenue. That is the best rate of anybody out there. Over a period of about 15 years, I have taken home ~$3000. Every album is "pay what you want", so you all rock. If you bought an album for $5 then you gave me more than streaming the whole album ~300 times.

Today, Bandcamp will be donating all of their proceeds to musicians affected by the wildfires in LA. Highly recommend buying some music through them today. #Bandcamp #BandcampFriday #Music
