big fan of @nocapsbb.bsky.social's new video "somebody made this game"-- its a three minute poem and is a perfect little summation of the games industry in 2025, warts and all, but mostly the beauty of human creation. yeah. this is nice www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRMp...

Sorcerian (1987) | RPG | PC platforms | Nihon Falcom Brought to new audiences by Sierra On-Line in 1990, the fifth entry in Falcom's Dragon Slayer series packed plenty of action along with choosing a career for party-less characters to earn gold in and picking which quests to undertake!

“there is a point on the graph where things get Worse, and there you will find Ronald Reagan” stays undefeated

because i think momentum is important, i’m joining the chorus in saying the call of duty genAI shit is fucking disgusting and pathetic and embarrassing. i wish the worst for the executive ghouls who forced that through. i’d condemn your souls to eternal pain and hellfire if you had them.

in the time of chimpanzees, i was a monkey.

woolies changed their tasty cheese and now it’s shit, but coles tasty cheese is still great. woolies extra tasty is still good tho. this has been your australian supermarket brand cheese update

what is most hard is that running a successful games business is diametrically opposed to making a good game and almost every dev is trying to walk a fine line between certain economic collapse and total player delight

This is a properly excellent weird puzzle game.

Insulting to the players, insulting to the IP, insulting to the medium, the developers. And the craft itself. Fuck you executives who pushed this garbage. frvr.com/blog/call-of...

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

i think i understand why they let you enable japanese name toogles in the new one, because this is such a big difference

Someone's always like "ah but video game design IS manipulation" but that's silly, it's not, any more than theatre is, or stage magic, or anything. actual manipulation should never be something you're about

be more comfortable putting a game down you don't want to play anymore. be more comfortable with players putting your game down when they don't want to play it anymore. it's embarrassing to act any other way

“average gamedev makes $142,000 a year" factoid actualy just statistical error. average gamedev makes $0 per year. Executives Georg, who lives in cave & makes over $10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

well that's money saved i guess

just another day on embarrassing website dot app

I do genuinely miss when games would introduce a vehicle section that's A Bit Shit, though. Everyone should have to periodically wrestle with a new set of controls out of nowhere. It builds character.

Just fucking insane to see the absolute (intentional) collapse of full remote jobs available for AAA studios in so short a time. Why would I EVER move for a job again when I could be laid off weeks after moving my entire life across the globe??

the way basic human decency hits these days is crazy

Personally I am of the opinion that it would be both Cool AND Good for everyone involved if I was hired somewhere as an in-house composer.

why does benson boone look like that if he’s not australian

If I was Mr Nintendo I'd make Pikmin Innerspace. Honey I shrunk the Olimar. Play as Olimar but you get shrunk down even more and trapped in a full size Mario just living his life. You have to use little pikmario to find pieces of the now damaged re enlarging mechanism lost all over Mario's insides.

breaking up not because this is cheating but because it's too cringe and embarrassing to stay with someone who did it. i'd rather tell people i got actually cheated on

You are stupid, so I'll make myself clear... you are stupid. Go away. I don't want your blood and puke all over me.

was trying to think of a word for software/games with AI in them and honestly malware still fits. it's malicious software

i am not too old for or above having A Moment because the creator of maybe the single most foundational program of my youth toward becoming a gamedev followed me back (hello @zsknight.bsky.social thank you for your service 🙇‍♂️)

Remembering this shitty photoshop I did back in the olden times

this cop wanted a shuppet, who is attracted to negative emotion, so he could use it to find people before they commit crimes. first thing it did was go to his wife who reluctantly revealed she’s resentful of how much he works and is never home. it’s a fucking yakuza substory.

Well, fuck. Revoking any and all Peripeteia recommendations (and I wish I could un-back it on Kickstarter) based on the very thinly veiled transphobia from the dev (the first one in the screenshots here). I hate this.

His Platform is as vapid as he is. It's so weird that he has a recognizable name for someone who is so *nothing*. Born hollow, genetically bred to be the perfect vessel for brands to poor themselves into. It's embarrassing that the dorito pope made an award show and people were just like "oh, dope"

this is what real video games look like

i actually AM intensely jealous of the flan hat because this is a "netflix game" i'm never gonna have a netflix account again lmao
