if you can't sell the american public on the idea that federal troops in the streets is fundamentally unacceptable then you have no business being in politics. and if you do not forcibly believe this at your core such that you can't shut up about it, that goes double for you

i made this noir-inspired trailer for my mystery game Sun Burnt My Hands in spring. production took a pause this summer but will hopefully resume soon! #TrailerTuesday #gamedev #indiegames #pointandclick #noir #mixedmedia #trailers

been reading a lot of walter benjamin essays lately, and very inspired by how optimistic and moved he is by emerging media of the day, a sphere of art that was very "low" and almost universally derided. helping me refind my own fascination / interest / love for "technological art" :)

on the payment processor situation from someone with experience in fintech… voidfox.com/blog/payment... “I guess I'm asking for some understanding, both of Itch's position, and the entire landscape, before declaring them at complete fault and dumping them in the sewer with all the other bad actors.”

MOUSE GAMES NEXT WEEKEND come to see why i’ve been so into sea scallops lately 🙂‍↕️

next weekend!! click + drag yourselves over to boshi's place for a celebration of the computer mouse and other pointer devices as important and under-appreciated game controllers! we'll be focusing on novel and unexpected uses of the mouse as well as some custom modified mice.

Yo! If you're looking for an excuse to make a game (digital or physical) and win a delicious pizza (physical), the next Pizza Jam 🍕 starts Sept 12th Itch.io/jam/Pizza-Jam-Pizza-Prize-15 So far: 🎮700+ games made 🌎Ive had pizzas delivered to Brazil, Canada, Sweden, Norway, USA, China, Argentina...

reading Likeness and Presence by Hans Belting (great), and love this anti-iconoclast propaganda from 847 depicting two pro-image guys standing on top of defeated iconoclasts. the text reads "God shall cast you down for ever. You speak not truth but untruth."

itch has been, from their earliest communications on the matter, very open about the fact that the payment processing situation forced them to cast a wide net on which tags lead to the temporary delisting. They were not going through individually to delist games.

I want to also spotlight some of the other games that are part of the @amazefest.bsky.social booth at @gamescome2025 Check out Some Goodbyes We Made, by @joeyschutz.bsky.social store.steampowered.com/app/2705820/... #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev #madewithunity #gamescom #showcase

One of my fave things (lame, I know) is reading contemporary Rolling Stone reviews of records that came out in the 70s, 80s, etc. We can glean so much about a work from, quelle surprise, reading what people thought about it at the time. That's usually pretty hard to do. This makes it a little easier

Hey, as someone who makes a living off selling adult games, I would really appreciate people helping to push back against censorship by payment processors. These puritanical extremists pressuring them have been successful because they've made a lot of noise, so we should be making even more noise!

Lander deserves a ton of respect for his willingness to subordinate his desires to blow up a genuinely evil man's campaign.

🧵 NYC: Zohran Mamdani is an extraordinary political talent and he CAN win this. What a signal that would send to the country and to the world. If you have been on the fence, this is the moment to go all in.
