I am never going to visit your discord for more information so if we can just save everyone some time and effort here, that would be great

If I were on my deathbed thinking about the code I wrote then I can only assume that it was my code that somehow led me to be on my deathbed and yes, I would be thinking about the quality of that code at that point. This is an unlikely scenario admittedly, but yes.

Outrun 2026

One of my favorite bits from the pages of Creative Computing (June 1981) is this article about how Alan Sutcliffe created the computer display for the Nostromo landing sequence in the film Alien.

I also don't get how being successful in music should somehow translate into a flood of players for a videogame. Like, you wouldn't expect it to work the other way around. "Even Kevin Levine couldn't get anyone to listen to his new single 'Don't Call Me Kevin'"

Fuck. My fish has no feet. I’m fucked.

industry insiders are telling me that "can you see her feet" is going to be the "can you pet the dog" for 2027 that everyone jumps onboard. it's fucking disgusting

Like, I sort of get it but there’s no joy here in pointing out right wingers are massive hypocrite even if they were heavily involved in the making of a very popular videogame. I already know the dude is a nob.

same.

Might just never play a videogame again unless it’s got one in it.

Haven’t seen anyone telling people off for not posting “the bluesky way” in a while. Guess that was how we do things after all. Whatever it was. Fuck even knows.

I've had slimey creatures, which I dub ''Squidgies', in my Money Bags trilogy of games on the SAM Coupe, dating back to 1996! (Money Bags re-released on disk with SAM Revival issue 9, MB 1.5 with SAM Revival 17, MB2 re-release very soon! www.samcoupe.com) #samcoupe #gamedev #indiedev #retrogaming

Hoping the forbidden! is back tomorrow for another day of shenanigans.

yes to all the points in this.

shAT Protocol, more like.

honestly I agree

I believe very strongly that Wes Streeting should be dumped in the sewer

honestly I agree

just given myself a bad time reading a comments section, folks. completely self inflicted silliness. didn't need to do that. 2/10

New slogan idea: Bluesky - for when you absolutely don’t want a site that works

and she is done! crosstitch pattern by @ansitru.bsky.social next I need to iron it so she lays flat in a nice frame

Like anyone would set a film where I’m from, for fucks sake.

being on benefits gives you a wonderfully stark insight into the everyone is better off talk when it works out you might get an extra two pounds a year whilst the price of one basic item has gone up by more than two pounds in the past month alone.

Prosperity should be synonymous with economic freedom. That is, not just "how much money you have to play with and the things you can use it for" but what will happen if you lose your income or your health. Are we free to slow down, to stop? To survive emergencies? Are we fuck. None of us.

Right, that’s my early morning news stare done and once again reaching into the middle distance. Time to see what bizarre things will happen to me today.

getting increasingly freaked out by any pictures of US politicians meeting other politicians making Spearhead From Space duplicates look normal. How do they manage to make them look like fake people. Has anyone checked the back of their necks for tiny holes? Or found the pods. Or factory. Or the wax

nice to see the appeasement plan Labour wedded themselves to is going well

I do wish essential services would stop posting their info on the nazi site because fucks sake

There once was a man from Nantucket, who had severe clinical depressionucket

Until/unless I get a "real job", Eldritch 2 is what I'm working on now. I'd appreciate it if you'd give it a wishlist! I've been documenting its development as a hobby project for the last two years over here: www.dphrygian.com/wordpress/?c...

I've been reading through The Manual tonight (a circa 1988 slightly-tongue-in-cheek-but-not-really booklet about how to publish a number one single in the UK) through the lens of an indie game developer, and there's a LOT that resonates 40 years later and across different industries, but THIS.

So #PortfolioDay I’m an artist living near Brighton UK, I used to work in paper cuts but I’ve been moving to recreate my style digitally more. Will also spread into other crafts when the mood takes me. Love folklore and other such ancient oddities. www.instagram.com/amygodliman?...

Dick Tips? Try and make sure it is firmly back in your trousers before doing the zip up. Thanks.

Why, hello #portfolioday I'm Wil, and I've spent the last 30+ years doing cartoons and illustration for magazines, games development, books, and everything in-between. I'm based in the UK and specialise in too many colours (reduced colours available on request). wiloverton.com

On the one hand, I will defend to the death people’s right to keep the most pedantic review blogs ever. On the other hand, I never want to discuss someone’s pedantic review blog.

The sign says "stay away, fools," but Socrates knows that only a fool thinks himself wise and so he is permitted to enter the loooove shaaaack babyyyyy

man confesses to being an idiot

yes to all the points in this.

No idea what the fuck anyone is on about so another day of cryptic discourse. Nobody tell me either, I don’t care to know.

Yeah, your dad is a game and I got the high score.

I see SKG are still determined to kill off even more games than they’d save so I’m off to find something to eat. I can see it’s one of those days and no thanks. Idiots.

one day, something at chez Eurogamer will change and people will realise that digging out some comments from some of the worst people on the internet and posting them as news is shitty for everyone. What is the point of this? People angry over a name change? www.eurogamer.net/pokemon-palw...

Hi! Today is my birthday and you would make me really happy, if you could take a moment to look at the things I've been doing and maybe engage with some of it. First off, Virtue's Heaven which released last year and is still on sale for a few more hours: store.steampowered.com/app/1929860/...

ever so slightly weirded out by the comments (below the line) on jank about Mike Cook’s “let games die” article which largely describes stuff people do all the time anyway but is a fun enough provocation. it’s like folks can’t conceive of anything outside of corporate and it is freaking me out.

Anyway. Bollocks to all that. Go and watch the new Deathstalker, it’s fucking brilliant.

Every article on “how I learned to love the scam” when a mainstream site decides to do something on AI is “well, reader, I had doubts but then the machine printed up something mildly flattering and that’s when I knew it was a keeper and now I use it to eat food for me and have told all my friends”

Talking of crap cover art, I took a punt at 3D Spawn Of Evil recently. It’s no Minder is it.
