im a huge fan of the jimothy #art 🎨

rejoice with me

The northern hemisphere mind cannot comprehend how ALL OF THIS makes TOTAL SENSE to us down here. It isn't weird at all.

she got that corsi-rosenthal box

I say this as someone who loves the overlap of maths, comsci, and storytelling, the idea of “solving” fiction is so incompatible with storytelling as to be an incoherent statement. It’s like going “we’ve solved mangoes” it’s just gibberish.

durandal when he's winning: they're gonna measure my dick in lightyears, little man. i'm teleporting you into the ninth circle of hell, there's a button down there i need you to press. ciao durandal when he's losing: listen man. we're gonna be ok. you're important to me

I don’t understand why there isn’t a statue in every city of whoever invented the rotisserie chicken.

They’re talking about you on YouTube bro

once columbo is out of cooldown you are all fucked

GEORGE LUCAS: if c-3po were real, he could have made the star wars movies by himself, and they would have been better than the movies i made. [tears in eyes] i wish he had made them. i wish he had. [stops for a moment] not the beeping one though. never the beeping one. he has a deadly poison in him.

The idea of wanting to eat something inspired by Toowoomba is crazy to me.

Made a Julius Sumner Miller reference today during a discussion of science outreach and got no response. I fear people have forgotten what science communication is all about: wild hair.

Video game fact! Though there are hundreds of video games of many genres and styles, there are only three possible “sizes” a video game can come in. Those sizes are: “Small” (16.00 MB) “Medium” (374.26 MB) “Large” (154.44 GB)

i love when a press release headline sounds like it was written by an aggrieved fish

Every time this tech comes around, we make it so no one wants to wear them outside, and that is good and correct and we must keep it up until it fades away yet again. And then th enext time? We do it all over again.

Never forget that time Sam Neill gave a quote about murder that was so beautifully kabonkers, we all assumed it was a Clickhole bit initially

If anyone's wondering, if you include the latest Microsoft layoffs, Game Industry Layoffs has now tracked approx. 46,700 known layoffs since 2022 publish.obsidian.md/vg-layoffs/A...

backrooms this, backrooms that, when will they make a frontrooms movie with grandma’s plastic-covered furniture that no one’s allowed to use in case the queen decides to have a quick cuppa in a random village in Kent

My first trip to the US (and first one leaving the country) was for a WWDC where I won a scholarship to attend as a student and I navigated SF via a paper map I printed out before leaving, and asking people when/if lost.

i would only move to the woods if i were guaranteed an animal nemesis

"Its swimsuit season", I whisper, eating another swimsuit

I’d play the fuck out of a game where you play Jennifer Garner sneaking around a suburb kidnapping other Jennifers to lock up in your menagerie.

A sane society would have put Satya Nadella on a scaffold years ago.

"james spader body pillow" did not turn up the search results I wanted.

Why can’t I find a version of Javerts Suicide where they sing “I am the law and the law is not mogged!” useless fuckin internet.

Yo me and Mitchy McConns gonna run a Dire Marsh in 5. Need someone to play medic (obvs lol)

ancient greek bard: in my story i invented the labyrinth as a cautionary tale ancient greek bard (after i explain sam altman’s whole deal to him): ok you can put that guy in there

um, so everyone cheering on egypt in the world cup realizes how the pyramids were built right? but i guess that's a conversation you're not ready to have

Sick. Awesome. Thanks for that. Really preferred this to funding a Blade game by the Dishonored people or people at Obsidian having jobs.

does anyone wanna fund my indie game? it’s called Keep All Of My Colleagues Gainfully Employed. it’s an ARG where you keep all of my colleagues gainfully employed. we’re workshopping the name

Of all the “property + studio” games to put out there Arkane and Blade has made the most sense to me on the same level as James Bond and IO Interactive, and while I understand Marvel fatigue basically everyone fucking loves Blade and wants more Blade.

It’s hard to overstate how different everything in this industry felt three years ago.

Man who’s own game isn’t profitable since he fell in love with AI: oh hey I got a great idea about another game

ok new rule. if you see this post, for every minute you spend arguing today on bluesky you have to spend two minutes reading a book.

I always see people vagueposting about how much discourse or drama or fake people there are or whatever but then my BlueSky feed is just like

gumby was always saying this

Given everything, now is probably a good time in games to figure out how to get a Non-Contract Violating TM representation of your current work for your own future portfolios. I am explicitly not suggesting you break laws or contracts. but think about what you can reasonably do.

So unironically it’s Ghost Recon Wildlands. It’s a game where you’re sent in to destabilise a Latin American country on made up reasons by the CIA and the entire time you know it’s dodgy what you’re doing but you don’t care because it gets you away from having to deal with your kids.

It's simple: every game that has mechanics crunchier than I like was designed by and for unimaginative babies and any game where I have to interpret results more than I like was created by and for pretentious non-designers.

Marathon Steve is at my house. I just showed him that you can turn the PS2 emblem sideways if you're standing your console upright. He vomited all over his shirt and then handed me one hundred dollars. I think I'm going to have him try a frozen reese's cup next.

Huh that’s weird, my laptop isn’t charging *picks up charger looking for the issue, completely ignoring it’s literally not plugged into the wall* Strange looks fine, I hope it’s not broken

Fun fact: In Dubai, we have a Haribo knockoff called Habibi.

So where’d the exo-suit end up? A local museum? The lobby of an awesome indie film collective? Nope. What a fuckin’ disgrace. www.reddit.com/r/Austin/s/P...

The folks at Bungie were one of the best to ever do it all around but the RaD team made some of the most unique and compelling content in FPS gaming that I've ever seen. The fact that most of them got laid off is absolutely ridiculous. I don't think Sony realizes what they've just lost here.
