They're not that old, way younger than me

Psychic Spider Ball. Psychic Spider Ball. Does whatever a Psychic Spiderball does.

❌ LET'S NOT TALK ABOUT 2026 ❌ New episode of Mike & Rami Are Still Here is up on YouTube, Spotify, Apple, EVERYWHERE mikeandrami.com

"Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden or Alice In Chains." Can't believe this wasn't my first thought... Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins is a solid gold masterpiece; & seeing them live on the album tour was probably the best gig I ever went to.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden or Alice In Chains. Not sure it really qualifies as an album, but "Earache presents Earplugged" (an album length sampler of Earache records' artists) has been a staple in my collection since 1994 - and it only cost £1.99!

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden or Alice In Chains. Tom Scott and the L.A. Express - Bluestreak (bought this on a whim from a record store in Santa Monica in 1996)

wow. psychic boost ball. didn't see that coming, after the psychic grapple beam, psychic jump boots. I wonder how they came up with all this stuff?

Look, I'm sure that Nolan's adaptation of "The Odyssey" will be fun, but I highly doubt it will be as good as the original.

Yeah man

The next time someone suggests that protests should be convenient and peaceful, remember this quote from Frederick Douglass:

I love that one of the devices most home bakers live by is a stand mixer. It does absolutely nothing you can't do by hand, but have you ever had to repeatedly mix or whisk something by hand? I'd simply rather die. 🤣

yeah. this is a solid gold banger. enjoy

Bro, my games run on a 486 and don't even need a GPU (they're also like two bucks right now!) store.steampowered.com/app/1338580/...

HEADS UP! Both of our award-winning indie games are on sale over the festive period... ❄️ Röki ☀️ Mythwrecked

I really enjoy stuff like this. Makes computing kind of magical like it was in my childhood. Nice work Abe! #Tech #SBC

‘But it’s my idea!!!’ the point is to ask the experts what would make the game terrific and then go towards that not to ask the law of averages what is the average of all games

The core of any piece of art is about what a human wants to say to another human about the experience of being alive; if you are asking a predictive text machine about that there is literally no point in anyone making what was spat out because ML doesn’t want to say anything specifically

When presented with the stupid unoriginal lore ideas equivalent to JKR raiding Worst Witch and Dahl fairytales but machine made the team will still have to actually fix it, make it fun, and grapple with the fact at the core of it the idea was stale, stolen & synthetic

they assume everyone is using AI because they think their opinions and ideas are common sense. But they are just incredibly out of touch with their audience and anyone who can actually construct a videogame

‘everyone in gamedev is using AI’ the business dumdums are using it to generate decks and write bad copy. They think it’s good because they think their basic lore ideas make a good game. that’s it that’s who is using AI

Get ready because I'm about to drop a hot take: I truly think there are only two reasons someone should ever advertise they are Christian on a social media profile; because they are clergy available for consultation, or because they want to signal their Christ-like willingness to aid all who ask.

If (like me) you grew up in the UK & are of an age where (because broadcast only media) kid's TV shows were ephemeral & magical.. you may still remember Bod like a sepia fever dream. If so, this will hit you hard in the nostalgia gland! Also bonus Xmas Bod episode: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

This has been out for a couple of weeks, but I've only just seen it. Tim Schaar is literally redefining vert & park skating, the guy is infuckingcredible - tipped for Thrasher's SOTY this year & justifiably so!!

Pantone just updated their Color Of The Year

Rejoice fellow mammals for the Solstice is upon us. Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn #fhtagn #solstice

This is giving strong Kodama vibes (positive!) For anyone not over the age of 40, Odama was a (mental) voice controlled mediaevil Japanese RTS / pinball game on the gamecube

The next episode of Mike & Rami is so good. It took us 3 episodes to find our swing, but man, once we do, it gets so silly and glorious Will be slapping up on Nov 29

oh my god

Indie dev pitfalls - advice to my past self www.patreon.com/posts/indie-...

Every once in a while I see one of these posts. If it were economically viable to do native Linux ports people would do them, but it's not... At this point I'm like: "Sorry you're having a tough time with that... you could just install windows though... you can get a Win 11 key let for < $20"

Just want to make sure that people know that games released on Xbox (XBLA) in 2008 were not the first indie games and did not create the indie game scene. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

As a gamedev of nearly 30 years, I can absolutely definitively say you do not need AI as a placeholder. You know what we used as place holders? Fucking cubes. Grow the fuck up.

The perfect gig doesn't exis....

Wiltshire variant: Jingle Bells Batman smells Robin flew away Uncle Billy lost his willy on the Milky Way 😂

At my primary school in Birmingham UK the defacto standard was: Jingle bells Batman smells Robin flew away Batgirl lost her knickers on the M6 motorway It remained basically the same at 2ndary school except "lost her knickers" became "got her t**s out" 😅

omfg this

"You know what's wrong with the Metroid franchise? It's too lonely, and too high concept. It needs to be more like Halo, you know to have loads of human NPCs jabbering at you all the time, and be more generically like any other AAA single player fps" SAID NO-ONE EVER!!!!!!!

97% OF PEOPLE: 'No Torment Nexus please.' 3% OF PEOPLE WHO ALSO HAPPEN TO BE PART OF TORMENT NEXUS PLC: 'Torment Nexus is good.' POLITICIAN: 'It's so difficult to know what people really want.'

If the 90’s really are making a comeback, I want to know where all the slap bass players are at.

@andybastable.bsky.social hey! I've apparently been using that kd tree code you wrote in random ECS toy learning projects without even realising you wrote it - nice 😀 (it's included in the ECS samples as well as in that 2019 Unity megacity thing)

me, a remote worker: if you can't figure out how to run a studio remotely (*especially* after the pandemic) that's a skill issue

Unity tip of the day/week/year: watch this talk from Unite by @andybastable.bsky.social Whole talk is great, but using this: [RuntimeInitializeOnLoadMethod( RuntimeInitializeLoadType.SubsystemRegistration )] to reset singletons on startup can save you hours a week entering playmode #unitytips

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing. All from his movies.

meet my new low-poly OC, made for the #256fes challenge 💙

These are starting to arrive with people and I'd like to ask you to open them carefully and tell me if you spot the Easter egg 😈

Call me old fashioned, but I like to generate new ideas using my brain.

Holy shit. I wonder how many of the people who approved this own open AI shares? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

this corvid is awesome

2016 Daily Mail: We want foreigners out! We don’t care if it makes us poorer. Brexit means Brexit! 2025 Daily Mail: Foreigners are leaving Starmer’s Britain because this country is poor and shit! This country would be so much better off without this hypocritical, incendiary, irresponsible rag.
