The future is indie.

The Joy of Being Cucked by AI - my submission to #manifestojam2026 - is now live for your viewing pleasure. dustintriplett.itch.io/the-joy-of-b... #screenshotsaturday

i think the twin towers are gonna start growing again tomorrow

Do you have a communist cat at home who could rebel against capitalism on your behalf? We made a review of @dustintriplett.bsky.social’s Kittens Against Kapitalism game for the @fxckcapitalism.bsky.social on our Instagram. Don’t forget to join the Queer Communist Game Jam — Link in bio #indiedev

What if there was a Typing of the Dead spinoff, but for destroying your personal demons holding you back? 🤔 Coming soon... #wipwednesday #indiedev #godot

You can call 'em videogames or video games - it doesn't matter - someone on the internet is still going to call you a slur.

Literally cannot comprehend the idea of a DMCA claim against a social media account for promoting a game for sale listing

Oh, you can't write a 5-page book report without AI? I fucking wrote 5-page book reports without having read the goddamn book. Get your finger out of your ass.

Very pleased to see this for Tim and the team at @neonandsmoke.bsky.social - very generous editors and kind Great too to see the latest www.neonandsmoke.com/maysmoke Terrific stories from @dustintriplett.bsky.social, @michelehporter.bsky.social and others

For your Emmy consideration: My game trailer for Kittens Against Kapitalism.

Still not over the fact that last night‘s Lyft driver thought it was appropriate to view softcore porn on his second phone while driving. Could literally see it in the reflection of the windows and he would start driving erratically like he couldn’t wait to get home to beat off.

So, you know how sometimes you get a really bad Uber that sticks with you because you’re incredibly uncomfortable and thought you or someone else might die? Waymo is like that but every time.

The only physical media I've preordered in a decade!

Grammarly has truly gone to shit once they started shoehorning in generative AI features. I liked using it as an additional grammar and spell-check tool beyond Word/Docs. Now it'll literally tell me to add commas in one instance, and if I refresh the page, it will tell me to remove them.

Caught myself thinking about SURGE again.

I would just like to remind everyone that the Wii U lived longer than the Confederacy.

I am officially querying agents for my debut #novel, The Raging Twenties, which has been in development since 2016! I can’t wait to share more with you all!

Back in my day, "goon" meant "henchman," and we liked it like that!

Game of the Year EVERY YEAR

If we’re planning on bringing back the draft, I’d like to note it in writing that I am not opposed to shooting myself in the foot.

fighting that daily urge to start my own literary journal

That Chainsaw Man ending sure was a choice.

The future of the games industry is INDIE. As the AAA sector continues to implode, we can expect a significant rise in independently driven studios emerging to fill that space. If you have the skills required to develop games, you can easily form your own studio.

3 ways to prevent AI from releasing in your game: 1. Name placeholder files ph_filename.png. Then search for and swap out all ph_ files before shipping. 2. Don't use AI. 3. Don't use AI.

I didn’t even realize I was on Goodreads until just now! 🥲 If you’ve read it, please consider rating and reviewing – not just my work, but also the incredible work @the-engine-idling.bsky.social has done to bring it to life. They’re the best!

wonderful news everyone i have enabled dlss 5 on 'shower with your dad simulator 2015'

me after GDC

Had a one-on-one at GDC today with someone who seemed to value me as a narrative designer but then it slowly became an AI-pitch resulting in me standing up mid-conversation and walking away into the abyss.

Every day there are new reports of ICE detaining and targeting our communities. Video game devs and the workers who keep our workplaces running are not safe from this. That’s why we’ve launched WE DON'T PLAY WITH ICE, a campaign demanding companies commit to becoming 4th Amendment Workplaces.

. @gdc-ai-horseshit.bsky.social is doing the lord's work.

The amount of generative AI garbage at GDC is disheartening. Someone was peddling free AI-written books about AI, so at least the local homeless population has access to toliet paper. Gotta be a "glass half full" kind of guy in these trying times.

Inside me are two wolves: One that appreciates the ability to have boba delivered to my hotel room by a robot. And one that wants to toss that robot into the bay.

Unions band together to launch new game industry conference 'by workers, for workers'

It's so nice of Microsoft to hand out bottles of lube at GDC! #everythingisanxbox

Hey, I know her! That's Kelsey "Emmy and Saturn award-winning" Watkins! Loved your work on #SkeletonCrew!

The Target near GDC was out of cold bottled Mountain Dew. The gamers are truly out here.

Can't wait to see you all at GDC! #gamedev #writer #gdc

Every LinkedIn connect from an AI Bro ends the same way: with me telling them "I have no desire to connect with someone willingly contributing to job loss across creative industries. I find your role sickening and I cannot wait for the bubble to burst so you can feel the pain of real artists."

The thought of Xbox being sunsetted due to AI makes my blood boil.

Who all is going to GDC this year? #indiedev #gdc #narrativedesign #writer

Gamers see a 6/10 review score and then publicly behave as if they just received a dick rating.

I’m typically one to stay out of corporate game drama these days, but Remedy's new CEO Gaudechon does not bode well for the company. A sports betting exec who helmed live-service operations at EA planning to "scale Remedy in a way that builds lasting value" sounds like a bullet to the head.

The only game to ever matter.

Jared Leto‘s Skeletor was probably in the Epstein files

2025 was a year in which I had a lot of creative work published. Feel free to check it all out in this easy to digest list! #poetry #shortstory #stl #stlpoet
