Introduce yourself with something that almost killed you. Hi, I'm a the undertow from a slightly too big wave

How did I do? CWW will come out early this year, missed that one I didn't do any animatics last year ... ha, haven't started next project I did play some cool indie games tis year learned 4 recipes didn't get out as much went to a few parties a mixed success!

Are there any video games that capture the aesthetic of dark souls/elden ring but aren’t so fuckin hard to play? I just wanna learn about some sword freaks without getting my ass constantly handed to me

I finally have the final pieces of art for Children With Wands. Everything has been sent to the layout artist. I am so close to being finished. #TTRPG

another robot highlight for 2025: man wearing humanoid mocap suit kicks himself in the balls

in order to network in the ttrpg scene, you must: - accept that you are not everyone's cup of tea - reinvent a mechanic from first principles - make games that drive 10-30 other designers mad - speak with the confidence of someone who thinks very long and hard about how to play pretend more good

SELL IT TO WHO, BEN?? FUCKING PUMAMAN??

Goddamnit, I was really hoping the spirits would do that all in one night. They show me all of my moral failings, teach me the true meaning of Christmas, then my own grave in the future and then I wake up the day after Christmas!

So I finally finished Pokemon Z-A’s main story. I was surprised who my ace ended up being.

I got to say my nativity scene kicks a lot of ass this year. Merry Christmas to those who celebrate, happy holidays to those who don't

I'm looking to talk to an artist or two who are interested in visual novels, dating sims, and might consider a long-term project. Any recommendations? Still in the exploring phase for building something. Reposts or tags appreciated.

Your time would be better served ruminating on what we are saying, admitting AI is a profound mistake, and figuring out how to atone for it going forward in your "work." Your Plagiarism Button has made our jobs infinitely harder and we are disgusted with everything your industry has foisted on us.

5) editing brain is not the same as creative brain. they are 2 separate brains. creative brain is unrestrained, free associating, a leaf on the wind. editing brain is analytical, focused, task oriented. i try not to edit while creative brain is working, because it's harder to gearshift back.

Every year around this time I go to a restaurant and leave a small present for my server. It is just some chocolates but it is always so appreciated.

The 60 Minutes episode on CECOT that Bari Weiss tried to spike has leaked. youtu.be/lenFGZ5WUTA?...

*stopwatch ticking* how christmas was stolen from the grinch: tonight on 60 minutes

this is the greatest feeling, when the cord box proves its utility to a family member

This weekends the last chance before I finalize the script and record! Remember you don't have to be a dev to throw up a game, you can just show off one you're excited about!

So next year I am considering reworking my game "Fishblade: Troubled Waters" and rereleasing it as just "Troubled Waters" The game was good and had some very cool ideas I want to expand upon. I also think it is being held back because it is a Fishblade game and a lot of those weren't great.

There is a frustration when dealing with computer problems. Phrasing your problem correctly can be so frustrating, slight variations in how you describe your problems lead to very different results.

We’ve been waiting to further explore the sign language learning elements found in Inspirisles, and with Dragon Dowsers we finally can! During downtime, you’ll be able to nurture the hatchlings using sign language, as if communicating in baby sign or Makaton. Can’t wait to show you more! 🐉👋🏽

I don’t care what other people say, I love this game with all my heart ❤️

We don't need to "go back" to change our society to be more human centric, analog, haptic and enriching. We just need to hack off and burn the tech bro hydra necks.

What is your mood Joe? Getting drunk and listing to protest music. Socialist ennui.

Dance like nobodies watching. Seize the means of production. Eat the rich. Destroy AI.

I saw a chart about commitment to AI, and unsurprisingly the US was far in the lead, and it really drove home an key emotion driving the grift. The *idea* of the U.S. as number one is so powerful that we have effectively made up a category we can be number one in, and it MUST BE TRUE.

Seeing an advanced screening of Firefly in college. At one particular moment just at the conclusion the film strip snapped. The projectionist raced to fix it as a bunch of on edge nerds needed to know if [spoilers]. They were able to fix it.

There’s this core contradiction in RPG design where the medium is scrappy as hell, and requires little more than some scribbles and a dream, but the commercial products are pricey and tremendously polished. It’s easy to see, and upon seeing it, the first instinct is usually that Something Is Wrong.

Looking to get my sister a nice puzzle for Christmas. MY GOD. They are infested with AI slop.

We’re just innocent men

Another friendly reminder my email is always open for indie ttrpgs who might want some press coverage!

#GameDev Tea? Video game UI is a helper, it exists to reinforce design, and worst-case to fill in where the design has failed to convey the intended gameplay. If you find yourself playing the UI instead of the game - there's been a disconnect between the design and the player experience you built.

Ok, that bird was up to no good. Woodland creatures stealing human things... for the holidays! 🎄🐿️🦡🦅 And the 4-day Kickstarter goes live next week! www.kickstarter.com/projects/two...

One thing I encourage with GMs is to let players justify a skill check rather than tell them what they have to roll. Encourage them to get creative with the skills they have rather than force them to roll a skill they suck at. Sure, sometimes you gotta do that, but it works better. #D&D #TTRPG

I'M LOOKING AT YOU TTRPG DEVS! Have you got a new game coming out, or being crowfunded next year? Gimme the deets so I can yap about them In a video checking out and celebrating the upcoming TTRPGs of 2026.

Cannot stress the importance of a ttrpg cover beyond mere aesthetics. - It will inspire you each time you look at it. - It gives your supporters a taste of the game to come. - It’s essential for marketing. - It pays artists struggling against AI. Ripples cover by @crowva.bsky.social

everyone: my job sucks my social life is dead everything is too expensive and i have no hope for the future experts: very interesting that you think that, but the numbers just don't back it up. i'm more concerned by your lack of financial literacy, to be perfectly honest

I just found out there is a BEAUTIFUL senior cat named MRS. DOUBTFIRE up for adoption in Centre County, Pennsylvania! So, of course, I had to spread the word. If you’re in Central Pennsylvania, please help this elegant lady find a home! centrecountypaws.org/cats/adopt

Every once in a while I think about a story my dad told me. At one point in his life he was so poor he couldn’t afford a blanket, so he stole an American flag to use as one. My dad is punk as hell.
