i did this room's decor!!!! ehe

Flashback to the time I created Judith Butler as a custom wrestler in WWE 2K24 (complete with a ring announcer call-out). Straight from the WWE Gender Performance Center!

There could come a day when you are tasked with (god forbid) porting or localizing your game. For your sake on this day, do not do things such as bake PC specific language (any language really) into say, the art of your UI

whenever you talk about being in game dev ppl are like "wow i bet its great to play video games all day" and you have to explain "that part actually sucks the worst............ except sometimes"

oh that brief ever brief sexy period of time when it was my job to play qud at work. and now its my job to what??? send emails?

absolutely incredible read--the hits do not stop coming

You should TESTING YOUR GAME WITH A CONTROLLER!!! Please!! For the love of god!!!

Boss asked me where I find new music the other day I was like I don’t. I’m listening to Tommy Makem and the Clancy brothers. And I’m not even exploring their discography

death of the author is intended as a framework for literary analysis that entails disregarding paratext and the intentions of the creator in order to create an "objective" analysis of a text. it's not intended as a way to absolve yourself of guilt for financially contributing to a creator who sucks

i dont want to work i want to play scarlet hollow

it's pretty cool to see an administration made entirely of scheming viziers

After about seven days of trying to assist people in the sims discord with a catastrophic update, I’m sorta horrified by the current state of computer literacy. This is very bad

i dont mean to victim blame here but if you have a smart fridge you are. for lack of a better term: a sucker

Dig up Jack Welch and kill him again

There was a time when this would be considered an incredible failing of management, a deep stain of embarrassment. But now it’s just “business”

everyone in the games industry understands this with no added context

this particular cycle is being carried out at smaller scales by everyone from small FTP games to social media sites - in this economy of nagware and "ask me later" a little respite seems to be all anyone can hope for

Oh my god this is the very definition of the gleeful fun time I just had playing sims [deleting excess swatches in custom clothing]

Iron deficient? Try Revertios today! 500000000g of Iron in every bite!!! Now with Realistic Veins.

gotta be a rough day to be a sims dev but its only renewed my intense desire to see their JIRA... god let me look

Making Sherlock insane in a mother coded way went so hard. That’s awesome.

I NEED hbomberguy to see young Sherlock… imagine a world where Sherlock could be good…

If we're doing game design doc discourse, I highly, highly recommend following this template from @kchironis.bsky.social

This is the best lede I've seen in a tech story in...years? There should be an award just for ledes.

Society needs to put in place a method to tell on men to their therapists

I dreamt about an illegal non standard miffy….

having to look up how to stop being on fire in qud and the answer being: pour water on yourself and then using the "pour" menu.... ah... life could be a dream...

I’m buying Doritos in a leveraged buyout. Doritos is going $20 billion into debt to afford me owning it for free. Sounds like a lot, but we’ll earn it all back with my idea for “Dr. Doritos” acetaminophen-dusted medical chips

roommate said caves of qud is too hard she doesnt wanna play i said i tell you everything you need to know: if you see baboons turn on sprint and go the other direction

QUD UP A MILLION PERCENT

which classic cozy game do you prefer? the jolly postman's party or scarlet hollow

Scarlet hollow will make anyone go fucking crazy but then they had to drop the things…. The stuff….

ok everyone sound off if you bought qud so we can get to the bottom of this

more like caves of good

caves of qud is a delightfully inventive game with incredible depth (pun intended). i was charmed by it instantly and i can't recommend it enough - not to mention the team was wonderful to work with!

Happy Caves of Qud on Switch launch day!

went simply bananas testing this while porting... everyone must play...

TBT about 2 years ago when a 40 year old guy tried to hit on me on the Bathurst streetcar because he thought I was a high schooler :)

Huge fan of the owl city album all things bright and beautiful but when you have everything on shuffle and get hit with just Ronald Reagan’s address following the challenger explosion it’s a bit tough

new year new gifs new GOO! that's right, we got bubbling purple acid. stay completely tuned. more shapes sneak peeks are incoming as always.

now that scarlet hollow is popular its not even cool to be into it. scarlet hollow? wow u dont know niche i guess

The downside of my yearly “listen to all my music on shuffle” is all the albums I took a chance on that I actually don’t like

i asked the boss for a new corpse and the issue is the one they made is really cute i feel like one of those toddlers that becomes obsessed with a skeleton decoration... awwweee my little corpse i love uuuu

fun game. live and drink

game dev is so funny. this asset is my best friend
