YOU’RE LISTENING TO SISYPHUS FM, THE HOME OF NON-STOP ROCK

The quote "That's like looking for a bad spoonful of soup in a pot of soup." from the Ask a Ninja Animated Christmas Special 2007 (as delivered by Slasher the Pain-Deer) is something I spontaneously referenced in therapy today. Going for the 'Most insufferably obscure reference' award. 🤞🤞

Just checked and I was still following him. Worth taking the time to check.

"you can cover up sexual abuse with a NDA" is the sort of thing that people in a century will consider a sign that we were bigoted savages

KH2 Final Mix has legitimately one of the best ARPG combat systems out there and people who look down their nose at it don’t know what makes a combat system good.

Twenty likes might not seem as if it's a lot, but imagine you're about to hit Post and twenty people appear staring at you silently with vacant eyes in sallow sockets. They fill the room around you. You cannot escape. They are here and they will follow if you run. Prepare yourself. Mask your scent.

Some players said the rats in my game were too cute so they didn't want to fight them. I think I found a solution:

making a hard pivot for game #2 and all the marketing will now be be managed by a 9 year old.

We pressed the button! Demo is out now! Its been a week trying to wrap this up and get it together. If you have any feedback just let me know, its much appreciated! store.steampowered.com/app/3578080/... #gamedev #indiedev #bevy #steam #honk

i really do love The Wire Season 3 as this story of two men — stringer and bunny colvin — who are trying to rationalize "the game." stringer in particular trying to make it a truly capitalist enterprise — one that sets aside the old world of territory and reputation in favor of pure profit seeking.

Sparks: Game Changers is officially underway ✨ A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the kickoff so meaningful, especially Jaclyn Adair and Dana Ramnarine from Rhum HR. Excited for the weeks ahead 💜

Just need 10 more wishlists to be at 100. Will u wishlist my cool video game and help me?🥺 If you aren't sure about it there's a prototype version you can play right now on itch. I promise it's really funnnn :3 hyphinett.itch.io/dronelord-hy...

Off to a great start, and enjoying seeing folks having a good time with Nic’s latest.

Can't wait to dig into this later!!

We have a demo of Wee Boats coming on Monday May 11th! Its a small ocean. You can explore, kick a ball, put on a hat, make some beats, and honk at friends, as a wee boat! Let's go! #gamedev #indiegames #steam #demo Handmade in #bevy youtu.be/1e8qo8SLP_8

when you don't share Amberspire this is who you're hurting

boring opinion but the wire is such a singular piece of work. no one is sacrificed at the altar of humanity for this drama. on hot days I like to crack open a beer and just revel at the craft in it, the performances. some things are so put together they last forever

Muiceanach idir Dhá Sháile is pretty great in fairness.

Had to clarify the literary origins of pinball games on YouTube today.

First 5km run with no pain since I injured my knee back in January. Still some tightness, still gotta keep the work up, but it feels good!

Amberspire is out in a scant SIX DAYS. It's a city builder with dice, a science-fantasy ecology, a future history of an imagined past. Give it a look:

Kierkegaard famously wrote about air dashes as early as 1841.

@nictringali.bsky.social and their team have made something very unique here, and beautiful. If you’d like to play and share, here’s the info you need to do so

Aliens bodies are probably different as hell. Or similar

Had an amazing time at the FÍS Games Summit. I'm so proud of our team at @ardan-ie.bsky.social who made it all run so smoothly. It's a dream come true to be able to put this programme together and this year in particular felt like a realisation of what we have been working towards for years.

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, Marvel, Disney, or Ghibli.

Man, FÍS summit was amazing as always. Great talks, great demos, great times! Always a bit too much fun ao hanging today. Meeting creative in Irish spaces is always good for the soul. Cheers to everyone who put up with my social awkwardness and rambling yesterday!

The Imirt Awards and the packed Fís Game Summit yesterday showcased the exceptional talent we have in Ireland. Take our work seriously. We are the land of creatives, artists and scholars. Video games are art. Congrats to nominees and winners! Well done @ardan-ie.bsky.social for a great day. 🇮🇪

Unlock unusual buildings as your population grows and influence rises in Amberspire. Every city needs a floating fort, right? 🌇 Out May 6th!

this is fucking unreal stuff from Noah Wyle on the magic of The Pitt. www.gq.com/story/noah-w...

In case you were wondering, yes I am rewatching Empire Strikes Back.

I was today years old when I discovered "nerf-herder" is not a piece of antiquated everyday parlance, but is in fact specific only to Star Wars.

Hope to see lots of you at the Fís Games Summit!!

Important
