Given the state of everything right now and my mental being as fragile as it is im going to be taking a few days off the internet so i can focus on myself. If you need me yall can find my discord pretty easy but dont worry ill be back soon with some abby must die news. see ya when i see ya lol

We talk about "late-stage capitalism" a lot, but the uniform obsession with infinite growth is the logical end state. Once /mere success/ is considered failure, the whole operation becomes unsustainable. Oh well.

for non-gamers this is like blowing up the Vatican

shuffling my recently added music and i just had the best cry ive had in ages to 'A future worthwile' from the 1000xResist OST because it made me reflect on it's ending and how it hit me so hard @sunsetvisitor.studio @drewredman.bsky.social please keep cooking bangers i need more of this

If a company has to lay off 10,000 people, the executive team should be fired, because they clearly weren’t businessing very well.

writing the outline for this game's plot and it just occured to me it mostly takes place in the main characters head and the first initial of every major villain accidentally spells out 'CPTSD' this is the actual pose i hit when i realized that btw

got alot of work done on the movement for this game im prototyping and i want to do more tonight but getting diagnosed today has drained me so much lmao the past month has been the worst ive been mentally in a long time but making this little game has done wonders and i cant wait to show it off :)

I’m so sorry for everyone at id Software affected by these layoffs. I know what it feels like to leave id while id goes on. It’s a strange and painful thing to step away from a place that holds so much of your work, friendships and history. 1/5

the problem with the games industry is that it makes money in a sustainable way by creating stuff that people want to pay for this is in contrast to how big capital would prefer to make money, by trying to scale fake numbers to infinity using gambler brained investors lured in by impossible claims

as someone who has seen the whole show but never interacted with the fanbase proper besides looking in at them, this has frustrated me the most i think. with stuff like TADC there is this expectation that it has a deep web of secrets to solve and "ARGs" to unravel, -

Going out to run errands while in a really bad depressive episode is a really fun excuse to accidently cosplay simon from cry of fear Can’t fall asleep on this bus or they’ll send me to evil Sweden

hi sorry im late i was trapped in the neighbors particle accelerator that spun me around for 50 years

GG to GDQ

say that again

am (kinda) drunk ama

good morning, it is the fourth of july and the worst people alive are currently running the country fuck them, we're going to win because this place can and will be better than they are

do yall think the founding fathers would enjoy TTRPGs and if so what system would each of them be a fan of Washington gives off pathfinder 1e vibes tbh

This is the best of who we are and what we represent. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

new life goal: move to the PNW, get high and listen to this at 4am under a bunch of fairy lights like im in the mid 2010s (banger song btw!)

My parents were low income so I often just browsed game shops as a kid. Sometimes mum let me get a game. It'd cost her whole day's wage and a chunk of our rent. Dad once told me to check under the car seat and Pokemon Red was there in a bag. Ownership isn't the only thing we lose with physical media

i'd like to present my argument against digital-only

"I thought you hate when I look like you." Thanks so much to the incredible @ruiaes.bsky.social for illustrating this beautiful piece of ALLMO and her children! (Reminder that 1000xRESIST is 40% off for the Steam summer sale 💛)

im the Matthew Mitchell they interviewed for this ill self report. weird they flipped my gender tho but at least they got my issue about never owning a physical copy of part III remastered for the ps7 out in the air for naughty dog and sony to see and rightfully correct

just had the coolest idea for this game im working on and it unironically got me out of a mental dump i need to live to make a game whos final boss is a genderbent interpretation of a greek god voiced by ashley johnson and nothing will get in my way i will make this real even if it kills me

There's no backwards compatibility anymore

Hi! I'm the music composer and sound designer for DREDGE and I am officially looking for new work !! If you've got a cool game that needs audio of any kind. Please reach out. My DM's are open. Here's a few of the cool games I've done the music and sound design for! 🔊🎵 #gamedev #indiegamedev

It’s not gonna happen given its already on fire but an Xbox comeback would be very funny if it wasn’t A. involved in a genocide And B. actively blowing itself and everyone around it in a 50 mile radius up I cannot believe Nintendo might be the only good guys here

My stance on piracy has remained consistent over my entire career: I'd prefer if you paid money for my games, but if that's not going to happen for whatever reason, I'd rather you pirate one of my games vs never playing it.

Proud to announce our HARDSHIP FUND: uvw-cwa.org/hardship-fun... If you've been recently laid off and need support, we got you.

ive been trying to find a tweet that talked about this for ages but i do wonder what the effect of an entire generation of kids not getting into video games the traditional way and instead growing up on live service things like fortnite is gonna have on the way they design and understand games

tbh its kinda looking like the switch 2 is gonna be the last console i buy for the rest of my life and im only 21 lol

most unrealistic part of this is the presence of people at the xbox convention

Microsoft this week: We're laying off half the industry. Sony: We're ending physical games. Nintendo: have u seen this splatoon weapon we call it the bloblobber

I think given the scale @godotengine.org is now at, this is an incredibly incisive approach to combat generative AI's awful impact on people, code, and communication. Also focusing the ban policy on access & pull requests is a smart way of eliminating huge parts of the problem in a practical way.

my mental is at the lowest its been in a long long time tonight but i have a cat on my lap so maybe things will be okay after all

New life goal: become Blue Communion and The Orchard -At Rest-'s top listener world wide (meme aside please go play this game if you havent, very few games have made me cry as much as this one has and i adore its OST to death)

LOUDER

Guaranteed: 1) Black girls will be harassed and demanded to be tested over and over again regardless of how competitive they are. 2) Winners from public schools will be relentlessly hounded by the parents and coaches of losers at private schools, with the goal of making them quit the sport.

been throwing around potential release dates that have sentimental meaning for this project im working to me and the one im zoning in on is going to get one of two reactions: A. aww thats a cute tribute to a character that means alot to her B. how do i petition for your execution by the state

love to my trans friends. fuck SCOTUS.

I can’t believe hideo kojima just announced door 2

"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...

We did it 🤑✨ our EOFY appeal for Parallels '26 didn't just hit the goal. We sailed right past it. Because of your generosity: working artists can afford to come, tickets are cheaper for everyone, and WE'RE LIVESTREAMING so no-one misses out. 💛 artists.australianculturalfund.org.au/s/project/a2...

i feel GTA 6 is going to win big at the game awards no matter how it turns out and its going to be really annoying especially if its a stacked lineup that year

enjoying pride together 🏳️‍🌈🥳

i don't have the first idea about the validity of the claims here but i am consulting religious texts to see if there are any patron saints for class action lawsuits i can pray to

The fact of the matter is
