While Keighley partied at the game awards with big names, their up and coming "future class" of game devs had to leave and have a meetup at a local starbucks instead. They were promised support & got basically nothing but disrespect & now they are getting canned www.theguardian.com/games/2025/n...

instead of awards can you giv e me money

If women are underrepresented in STEM, it's at least partly because men like this offer mentoring, then embarrass themselves by assuming their mentees must be into them, then decide the best solution is to cut ties, which sends the signal to other faculty that the mentee must not be good enough.

KIRO 7 ran an article and two TV pieces on the theft of a box truck full of arcade PCBs, artwork, and machines from my workplace yesterday. If anyone in the Seattle area sees someone offloading a ton of CPS2/NAOMI/Neo Geo PCBs, stuff of that nature, please reach out. www.kiro7.com/news/local/g...

I successfully got my nephew to call me Uncle Vegeta. I think we are raising Gohan here

See, look, U.S.A., it's this easy (and should have been done immediately upon the knowledge that these cheats and grifters were STEALING our work)

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA. Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.

His Platform is as vapid as he is. It's so weird that he has a recognizable name for someone who is so *nothing*. Born hollow, genetically bred to be the perfect vessel for brands to poor themselves into. It's embarrassing that the dorito pope made an award show and people were just like "oh, dope"

yo im a huge fan of sleep, can't wait to finally play it

written language is a technology that can be broken. it can be lost. it appears we are well along the way to breaking it in this country. think about how angry you get when you imagine someone torching a library. be angrier than that. it is not one library being lost for these kids. it's all of them

if you make a game about a train, all the steam reviews are gonna say it's on rails and all of them are going to feel very clever about it

ok one last post -- oldheads are always going to "why is the web dying.... how can we get the kids invested in the free and open web" bro the kids can't read. that's why the web is dying. first things first

ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

"gran" ください

this was the funniest quote i’ve ever seen until it was removed 😭

i was wondering what my steam replay this year is going to look like but then i remembered it's just gonna be completely dominated by The Game I Have Been Working On

Look guys I’ve spent the last day playing this over and over again. Don’t read the comments first and stick it through to the second verse. It is in fact one of the funniest things I’ve ever heard.

something ive been casually noodling on for while is a thought experiment of how i'd try to design an fps with the pacing, density, and scoring of a CAVE shmup. in a lot of ways it doesn't feel possible because most shmups rely a lot on the fact that positioning and aiming are the same thing

learn to 1cc a shmup or something

a lot of people when playing games (or checking out any artistic media tbh!) aren't actually interested in engaging with the medium, what they want is a product that is going to trick them into feeling nice. to them, games should be a consumer good where they trade money and time for pleasure

Love Tara rightfully boiling over this lol. It's so funny that this was something people brought up constantly when the game came out as GOOD design, but as years go on, games train people more and more to NOT actively engage with and respond to what they're experiencing.

I'm watching a vid on Silksong and they're saying Dark Souls 1 had a 'bad' opening section (firelink) because, while there are multiple paths, there's only one you can fully pursue. Thus the others are 'fake' and it's a 'guess' as to whether you have a 'good' or 'awful' time...

Play Sylvie Lime

I am just a tree

watching cat videos and getting close to the screen as if it would reduce my actual proximity to a real cat

I am older than gender markers on passports! How do you regulate gender? By making it a form of government ID. It has nothing to do with state security, only regulation

Anybody who has watched the Times pull this shit for ages knows this game. Good piece.

Something worth noting: Rockstar is leaning HEAVILY on the excuse that the unionising employees were "leaking private company information" They want people to assume this means game info or assets. But I will bet you CASH MONEY this translates to: 'they were comparing salaries and work contracts"

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

I love that python did this and so my yt channel has sponsored python. links in this thread if you want to donate.

I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.

wow whats even the point of this

harry follow me im a patron and everything :(

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

apoco boobs @dcellgames.com

i'm so sorry for the delay, and i appreciate each and every single one of you for cheering us on this whole time. i am so excited for you all to have your hands on it in December.

thank you for waiting. i promise it'll be worth it

look i was the first person to say this today ahead of the rush, every time you say this you need to give me ten dollars

me storyboarding: haha fuck yeah. yes. me on hour 5000 implementing animation clips on no sleep: well this fucking sucks. what the fuck

why are we still here. just to suffer

Censorship is now coming for your dnd and your warhammer and your farming sim, they don't care if it's not adult content. They wanted everything

creep by radiohead except all the lyrics are replaced with variations of "I'm a tired"

my number one favorite thing about silksong is actually the physics-enabled rosaries. not only is it simply funny on its face, but it really drives home the humiliating nature of chasing down one measly coin when you've got no money, and the despair when a big one falls in a gutter

there are too many things to do

So unlike say painting or even music, we don't take in the whole before focusing on details, we take in the details and often don't even need to engage with the whole at all. Take for example sandbox/CAG players -they can construct micro games within a collection of mechanics & never see the big pic

I really think a big part of why games are so hard to talk about with people is because we don't experience them as a coherent whole & many ppl don't want to. Different pieces of gameplay like bosses/levels/interactions are very spatially & temporally detached from one another

when i bought a retroid pocket mini i thought i was going to catch up on old games that have been in my backlog but in reality it's just become a dedicated machine for filling every single empty moment with ketsui
