The president has stated that he is willing to kill innumerable people, and is having a prime time announcement about it later, and this is the closest thing I have to a rep who can (or would) do anything about it. Absolute moral bankruptcy.

this is my response to any and all "why isn't everyone standing solemnly in the cafe watching the news" posting. that's happening, just not where you are! maybe we'll get our chance later haha *ruffling your hair*

if you're feeling anxious, well, you should be to some degree, but also keep in mind that the world doesn't work like the first 20 minutes of a movie. you gotta live in the world between all those selected-for-time expository scenes

Not to centre myself too much here, but if we could not have nuclear war at the exact moment my life finally starts to sort itself out, that would be great thanks

The "video games are art" discourse has reached international art galleries! Here's how one brilliant artist is using games (not just the aesthetic, but actual play) to get her audience to talk about the topics they'd rather not discuss with strangers, like war, immigration, and gender.

trying to raise whatever we can of the remaining 400 Euros so we can survive until the end of the month thanks everyone who shared and donated❤️

if you appreciate my art, design, procedural, or experimental work, or design analysis, please consider supporting me or reposting! i'm /extremely/ good at living frugally but i would like to eat better and get a new computer. i'm aiming to get to $1000 a month. www.patreon.com/vacuumflowers

There is a genre of YouTube commenter now who is an AI everything evangelist who starts with some bold statement of “no one needs to know this anymore” and then lists all the pieces of sloptech which are going to make different parts of games (for them? for everyone? Who knows?)

not quite. you see, it is very simple. a video game can be any or just one of these things, and can be in any state on this chart at any time depending on the context or rearrangement of its elements (mode, ruleset, singleplayer vs multiplayer, etc.). elementary

does anyone else use one of these as their audio interface, and if so does it crap out for you every driver update? downloads.focusrite.com/focusrite/sc...

I think the only way to make an English language Elden Ring movie where the acting is sufficiently strange and wooden and doesn’t devolve into Warcraft movie cheese is to have Yorgos Lanthimos direct it.

There is no world in which you're prepared for how incredible this is

Is this what AI pixel art looks like? Looks fine at a distance and the when you zoom in there are mixels which just seem like they would be far more effort to do than not do.

I wrote a bit about the art direction on Wax Heads for a new steam post 👀 steamcommunity.com/app/2769240

Until you've been working in anything for a number of years, you won't see the importance of all the little things that taught you how to do the big things and without those little things, you'll never be able to build great things

Did you already submit your bird-themed game to our aptly named Steam festival Birds of Play? We need 20-50 wild games to submit the festival and then hopefully are able to go through with it and officially host it on Steam. tally.so/r/lbWro6

This is kind of a dead end bc there's two very distinct subjects of thought at play here, that seem related on the surface but really aren't. "Certain schools of game design value cheap addictive dopamine hits over substance" is true but also not rly about gambling

this could be the subject of a dissertation

I really resent having to use TikTok for anything because it exposes me to the cringiest of zoomer stuff, but it’s still the only good app write auto-subtitles so I use it for that and then export stuff elsewhere.

Which TV love triangle made you realise you’re probably inherently poly (ie because you can’t understand love triangles)? Jean, Cyclops and Wolverine should’ve been able to just work it out.

I started watched Dispatches from Elsewhere (a magical realism show based on a San Fran ARG) and now I feel like I’ll be disappointed if I watch The Institute (a documentary about the same ARG).

Finally worked out how to disallow QTs on here. I just feel a lot like QTing people you don’t know to argue with them performatively, rather than just replying to thing you disagree with, is very Twitter coded. It’s giving Blue MAGA vibes.

Hey. Do you have a podcast about game development which; 1. Isn’t exclusively interviews with men? 2. Doesn’t frame every conversation in terms of financial success?

just realised I can do this, and that's very funny to me

You need to play and like the genre. If you try to force yourself to make types of game you don’t even personally enjoy you’ll never make a good one. “Fun” is downstream of neurodiversity (in the broadest sense of the term). Different brains have a different “palette” for different types of fun.

this is such a funny fucking thing to say im gonna cry dude

I’ve had some interesting responses to pivoting large portions of my current game project, and; 1. Yeah this is a thing you just have to do sometimes 2. Minimal work has been lost 3. It’s a player-centric pivot which will be better for literally anyone who actually plays it!

Your favourite game was not your favourite game until in the last 5% of development. Some games you don't like would've been your favourite game had they made different decisions in the last 5%

I did some refactoring. It took an amount of time. A refractory period, if you will.

I heard someone recently use the term “vanish into the deed” and wanted to know if it’s from a specific poem or religious text or something? Google is no help and also has a “making shit up” module now.

Dear God. When a noob in chat asks me why I don’t use AI to make games, please give me the strength not to ask them why they don’t get someone else to fuck their wife for them. I am trying to be good.

The music night I put on went well! Woohoo.

I just left a joke reply to an online post and then scrolled down and saw the joke had already been made by someone else. So I deleted mine and liked theirs. Just so you know, I do contribute to society occasionally.

both Prey (and Mooncrash!) and this game stay unbelievably underrated for reasons beyond me one of the best and most unique games of the past decade, get on it

Tonight I have drawn several flying cafes and none of them right. This one is gonna take some time. PS send me your favourite “flying old timey ship” type ships. If it’s chibi/chonky even better. Gimme that Gorillaz/Tekkonkinreet shiz.
