pls bless my 2026.

Time for analog.

One of my favourites!

Personally I'm getting a bit tired of the performative rage thrown around on this platform recently. It's what I never liked about Twitter. The bandwagon is not my dragula.

Rewatched Rosencrantz and Güldenstern are Dead yesterday and a) it's clearly a prequel to Q-UP and b) since the movie is not available on any service we just found it on YouTube and so can you! Young Tim Roth and Gary Oldman are amazing and so is Richard Dreyfus! www.youtube.com/watch?v=-f6g...

It does not matter if I agree or disagree. You'll never see me taking part in the witch hunt. Righteousness-bonding in the echo chamber is not for me. I might have to write a newsletter, though. Stay tuned, for this white man is gonna blog a post.

I might or might not have called the movie "Walk again, Pacman" a moment after waking up, brain still drowsy from sleep, and that's now its new name, sorry.

Someone mentioned Carpenter Brut and Perturbator so I'll raise you an Irving Force. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGCo...

Found it! youtu.be/yOUwfZ1N3VU?...

This is such a lovely tour de force through what people are cooking. Including the Sparrow showing its Warfare.

Hello there, #TeaseYaGame friends! We are @martinpi.bsky.social & @alphachar.bsky.social - making a MAHJONG DECKBUILDER FULL OF BIRDS! Sounds weird? It IS weird! And fun! New playtest soon: wishlists make us happy, hanging out on Discord even more happy! ❤️ store.steampowered.com/app/3473440/...

Slay the Spire, Slay the Spire 2020 was a year where I played more games than ever – Baba is You, Outer Wilds, Disco Elysium, maybe even Outer Worlds, were all amazing.

My echo chamber begs to differ but this level of acceptance of GenAI in games is exactly what I'd expect in the world out there. www.bcg.com/publications...

Kali, ascending to the stars.

Still a way to go but technically we're getting there

I think I'm gonna do what @adriaan.games keeps telling me and switch to GDScript for my next game. I can combine it with C++ for beef, if necessary but it lets me abandon C#, a language that is starting to go on my nerves.

Sorry for the political outburst. Sometimes I just get angry. I am living in a different country than the one I was born in and grew up in. Makes me a bit sensitive, sometimes.

While Denmark is a lovely liberal, open, and welcoming place, we've been running a "centrist" (i.e. right-wing socialist) government for at least as long as I've lived here and it is a constant source of embarrassment. politiken.dk/edition/news...

Excellent talk about Dome Keeper in terms of how to not make the wrong game: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ki-I...

This is something I don't get. I write the code to call a function. The IDE knows the function (hence the popup above the line) but its autocomplete offers me every available variable/call, starting with "A". Can't find out how to filter for variables that have the type it knows?

Our Christmas tree is a linktree, thanks Silicon Valley. linktr.ee/sparrowwarfare

I play Sparrow Warfare every morning before work, and it's my go-to quick game to kickstart my brain. Well done @neonaurelius.bsky.social - I looooove playtesting this and highly recommend people wishlist. youtu.be/0G6Ek4ADfbE?...

Can someone explain me how they went from high to high even when they had a metaverse without legs? I don't understand the fiscal dynamics of that corner of the tech sector at all. Even their bet on the metaverse has paid off with investors, judging from the stock price. www.wsj.com/tech/ai/meta...

Sometimes I think I must sound so grumpy on social media when in reality I am actually a very funny person. Then I realise that even in face to face situations a lot of people don't understand that 80% of what I say in social situations is meant to be a joke.

I am not an economist but wasn't it so that monopolies are bad for the economy? Or is that outdated and we actually want a single media company? www.theguardian.com/business/202...

@turnbasedthursday.bsky.social Would you mind adding me and @alphachar.bsky.social (or our studio @neonaurelius.bsky.social ) to your awesome #turn-based starter pack? Our game is entirely turn-based, as you know: store.steampowered.com/app/3473440/...

@codered-dev1.bsky.social Would you mind adding me and @alphachar.bsky.social to your awesome roguelike devs starter pack? We're working on a turn-based card battler with a roguelike structure (and an actually roguelike secret other game): store.steampowered.com/app/3473440/...

@solarwyvernwriter.bsky.social Would you mind adding me and @alphachar.bsky.social to your strategy game start pack? We're working on a turn-based card battler that definitely requires a lot of strategy to win: store.steampowered.com/app/3473440/...

Stay safe people I wish you a very pagan Krampus day! www.salzburg.info/de/salzburg/...

Sadly the people afraid of art _are_ not familiar with many art forms so here we are.

What if all the jobs lost in our parts of the world just travel east to surface in China. Their games industry is potentially growing more than ours is declining.

Ah. It's the time of the year where half the people wrap up their Spotify in public and the other half want to retvrn to the golden Napster times when Prince was known as Symbol because he had sold his soul to Warner Brothers for Diamonds and Pearls.

23?! My listening age should be closer to 300 but, alas, here’s to Chinese Electronica, Irish Hip Hop & Italian Renaissance music keeping me young!

I am a sub-par to average poster according to anisota.net/harvest/mart... but I'm posting the best and most diverse links!

If you ever want to play MIDI files in Godot C#, here's a snippet of code that might come in handy: gist.github.com/martinpi/e63...

Spiredle 2025-12-02 I solved today's Spiredle in 6 guesses! 🟥🟥🟩🟧🟥🟥 🟥🟥🟩🟩🟥🟩 🟥🟥🟩🟩🟥🟩 🟥🟥🟩🟩🟥🟥 🟥🟩🟩🟩🟩🟧 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 spiredle.com

Get this for DEVICE 6 alone. It's a seminal piece of art.

Char is starting off our bird-themed advent calendar with my favourite art in the game!

Dear streaming giants: it is time to cash in on Tom Stoppard (sadly) leaving the stage, because this movie is fantastic.

Yes exactly. The challenge is, though, that a lot of the glue used to bind together a company and to grease the wheels of bureaucracy is indistinguishable from oatmeal. That makes it a) obvious how much waste lack of trust creates and b) tempting to use oatmeal production machines.

I learned about Bird Game 3 today and let me tell'ya, the xennial mind cannot comprehend brain rot. Or that's just how it works on everybody.

It's goat hunting season again in Sweden.

I just got so excited seeing that @itch.io actually makes very good invoices that I can easily import into my accounting software that I screeched. Will buy bulk font packages and tile sets for the company again!

Absolutely normal commit message. You all want your choirs to be faster, right?

Yes, 'Type' - 'Owner' I will surely book a meeting with you to talk about SEO in the age of AI search. You seem to be really good at technology.

First time showing off Sparrow Warfare at a developer gathering. Excited!

As a PhD in Informatics and former Associate Professor and former head of an academic programme I can say with some authority: rarely have I read a better condensation of misled thinking about critical thinking. Frame it and hang it as a bad example: www.theguardian.com/education/20...

Preparing slides for a local developer event later today. I'm having a great time bringing puns and etymology into play on one slide!

Pietro, a true auteur, is right about the potential and I think also about what's holding games back as a medium for artistic expression. There's also a long history of more radical art pieces not getting the big screen, at least not immediately.
