In the post apocalypse I shall use the night sky to tell my children epic tales about the constellations. “There, my son, that’s Elaine the graceful. And of course George the wicked. Jerry’s the one who can’t act. We don’t talk about Kramer anymore.”

Oh, you've made a video game? And you want people to play it? Well, let's talk about how to do that better. How, exactly, can you make sure people care about your game and want to tell other people about it? Check it out here: docseuss.medium.com/its-not-enou...

Had to make some queer versions for pride

"Weird Al" Yankovic has always been a real one. Just learned that he very recently turned down "a nice pile of money" to shill for A.I. Damn right he did. @alyankovic.bsky.social www.syracuse.com/entertainmen...

Get outta his way! #art #queerart

Last week of pride! If u have the means and like my art I'd love a tip, or commission, or maybe even a print/merch purchase :3

I really hate asking, but another new month is coming up, rent is due, and I still haven't had any luck finding work. Savings are basically gone. If you could throw a couple bucks my way, it'd really help. If not, also cool, but maybe give a 🔁 boost? Thanks! ko-fi.com/claruspluspl...

RIP Miwa. You drove Mishima deeper into madness with a withering insult, portrayed one of detective fiction's most iconic villains beautifully, and produced rare footage of Miyazaki actually smiling. Your power was immeasurable.

Played this years ago but it's still stuck around with me. In a sea of games where everyone is trying really hard to be cinematic and prestige with their games, Adios embraces that form and still turns out to be one of the most thought provoking indie games out there.

steam summer sale on the final weekend of pride is no mistake. a cornerstone of the LGBT community is buying video games you will never install.

Omg there's a horseshoe crab flipping song!! It's so 90s PSA songey. What glorious propaganda!! 😭 😭

Prediction: the entire economy will crash the day that Grand theft Auto 6 comes out. Wall street is entirely run by 17 year old math students and they will all take the day off simultaneously. No one will be left to update the big economy excel spreadsheet.

I worked really hard on this and it just sucks to see people I like and respect on here shitting on it. Everyone talks a big game about supporting artists but then they all pile on just to score a few points on the internet. Try creating your own stuff instead of making fun of someone else’s.

Not only this, but doing overtime actually INCREASES the power disparity between the workers and the people in power at companies. Instead of doing overtime, use that time to organize your coworkers in a union. It is a much better use of your time.

It's been a year after pretty much 17+ AAA employment, and let me tell you that what Rami says is the harsh truth. Even with our team's combined veterancy and experience, our clout and skill set, I've come to the conclusion that the faucet on funding indie games has been practically turned off.

Another game I worked on that is very cheap today is WEIRD WEST I don't get any money when you buy it but I worked for these folks for YEARS and never got fucked over even a little bit, so that's the energy you should be supporting on a day like today store.steampowered.com/app/1097350/...

Oh hey if you wanna support me, there's a Steam Summer Sale going on, and my games Eldritch and NEON STRUCT and all the rest of our games are in there! Plus a bunch of free games because we're cool like that. store.steampowered.com/developer/Mi...

I made cover art for school files on pov-ray! Made a simple molecule render for my science file.

An old video from my twitter, 2021: Why exactly does my Police Terminal have a STALIN button?

steam not buckling under the weight of a sale starting is the wildest recession indicator yet

SoftBank’s investor presentation is one of the greatest things ever made. I’ve been thinking about it all day. These are the real slides shown in a speech where Masayoshi Son said he wouldn’t retire for at least another decade. The goose stuff is truly demented. Bravo group.softbank/media/Projec...

[1/2] Making this post as much for my industry friends as I'm making it for myself. Don't work weekends, don't work late nights. Your company will chew you up and spit you out when your flavor's gone. Don't make your job your identity or your sole source of pride.

Never let someone tell you there's no media angle that fits your weird little indie game.

here's a good one

Cannot be played by players meaningfully but game dev can use it to confirm the overall plans work/tweak them and from there out it’s just painting between the lines

Whole game, all the structure there but missing visual polish and content and polish in general - equivalent to an outline or treatment in movies

In fact building a single slice of a cake is 10X harder than building a cake! The HORIZONTAL SLICE though, that makes sense and is how we roll.

suno has used *one hundred and thirty eight* of my songs across two of their datasets. this is almost my entire catalogue of music. it's just about everything i've released from 2017 to 2024. if anyone knows any lawyers in the music industry that are working on a case for this please get in touch!

It's just so weird to decide that the target audience for your incredible creative tool is now people who don't want to learn anything at all, who will get bored when they realise they can't vibe code a new halo game in a weekend by shouting at an AI or whatever.

extreme deskilling. yanking out existing tools to make sure people use AI. people who don't even work for Epic. insane behavior
