Favorite thing about angry online lefties policing Literally Everything: The only damage you're doing is to your own spaces. Everyone else has learned, by now, that you're all a bunch of poor losers with zero power or influence that can be ignored.

Kind of nuts to watch Europeans very rapidly go from "the evil empire can't be that evil since it mostly does evil things to other people and not to us" to "the evil empire is clearly evil since it is finally doing evil things to us and not just to other people", must be a lesson here somewhere.

Can't for the first member of the Supreme Court to be put in medically induced coma on life support to allow a political machine to retain and operate the seat indefinitely since the appointee is not strictly speaking dead and the appointment is for life.

Protip: Don't be a cop. Also consider the many ways in which you may actually be a fucking cop without you knowing it because you have the best of intentions just like real cops

The whole game preservation movement strikes me as working in the EXACT wrong end of the problem. You can put as many floppies and discs and piles of old hardware as you want in as climate-regulated a warehouse as you want, it's going to decay. In 100 years, all of that shit is gonna be useless.

I sometimes see Europeans who fancy themselves founders complain that it's not like the US over here. I wonder if they actually understand the externalities of US finance or if they believe number go up means it's all good in the hood. Because they can't literally want neofeudalism over here, right?

You don't seem to understand that Microsoft is happy to spend 100 billion dollars wrecking the US games industry because that means they will have inordinate power when it comes to rebuilding it. Like Uber wrecked taxis, Microsoft is wrecking videogames. They will reshape the market in their image.

Knuckle Jet passed 33000 wishlists on Steam today! While wishlists aren't purchases,they do help Valve decide how much visibility they want to give a game when it launches. So if you've got a Steam account and 10 seconds to spare,please wishlist! Thanks! store.steampowered.com/app/3199470/...

THE BABY GOT BACKROOMS

Curious how long it will take the average European to start looking at the US the way they look at Russia, as an essentially criminal regime so corrupted that even the general population is judged according to their refusal to rise up against their ruling class, deemed guilty due to their complicity

I know I should have just trusted history, but the last half decade has really made it starkly clear how cruel and bloodthirsty people are, and that ideology mostly provides permission structures that allow people to be cruel and bloodthirsty and still think of themselves as the good guys.

Maybe I'm easily amused, but it's kind of funny watching the people who have spent the last couple of decades getting paid princely sums for helping create the Torment Nexus having moral qualms about actually putting it to use

The worst part of bad code isn't that individual instances of code are wrong, hard to understand or annoying to work with. The worst part of bad code is that it erodes your trust in the integrity of the codebase and the competence of your coworkers. That's really insidious and destructive.

How to design F1 tracks

Excited to see the US is making a bold move from gerontocracy to thanatocracy

Using datamoshing to make the hardest "you died" screen possible

This fucking advert really nailed the trajectory of Xbox, truly a deep mission statement that guided the project for a quarter century www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNcc...

Shower thought: Maybe a lot of people don't cook because they share kitchens and don't have dishwashers 🤨

Feel comfortable saying I am visibly living my best life when random dude on the street turns the corner, spots me, smiles and comes over to fist bump me before going about his day

i think probably no video on the internet has brought me more joy since discovering it than You Can Stop at Five or Six Stores. i keep rediscovering it and it's just as wonderful for the 50th time www.youtube.com/watch?v=7T1O...

Now that the brand is waning, can we all take a moment to appreciate just how extremely unfortunate the name Xbox always was? Ugly in text, unwieldy to say, completely meaningless, unrelated to play, just kind of peak unintentionally(?) meta shit.

Better times with my ex soviet pals - Kazantip Festival, Ukraine 2014 - Minus records 24hr performance in a UFO shaped arena with 360 LED Screens. Absolute shulgin research chem fucking carnage...2cTi27

Even after all these years I still find the fact that something like *this* was on the official soundtrack of a version of "Sid Meier's Pirates!" incredibly amusing. Only in the early 90s. 🏴‍☠️💿🔊🎶

Remember seeing an architecture documentary on the construction of this house, (back in the 2000s?) Simple but genius at framing a view from every window. I love that house even tho its so…. « Direct »?

i like airports for their nigh religious quality in making you behold wonders our ancestors could not have even dreamt of like this swarowski crystal toblerone bar

I should start using this as my profile picture everywhere

Someone made a synth/speaker/toy that generates procedural worlds with unique sounds. The genius idea: there's a tiny screen inside that lets you peek at the generated worlds from a monocle lens. It sounds awesome too: murmur.living

🌅 🌅 🌅 Release Date Announcement 🌅 🌅 🌅 After 4 years Plum Road Tea Dream will be releasing on Steam on the 27th of July! Here’s our brand new trailer for a little sneak peak ✨ Wishlist the game on Steam, play the Demo and know that the release is around the corner! Excitinggggggg 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

Show us a cool physical game

I know it's old hat to rag on the recommendations algorithm, but Google must be aware that I have worked as a professional game developer for over 15 years and that recommending videos where dickweed shitfluencers talk about how lazy devs ruined games is probably not gonna make me like and subscribe

High-end consoles are becoming like high-end hi-fi. Market is dads buying tube amps with gold-plated cables so they can listen to Back In Black again, while the kids have tinny boomboxes on which they listen to intentionally blown-out drift phonk made by the queer Ukrainian dude they met on the bus.

I’m happy to announce the release of a new open source 3D physics engine called Box3D. I’ve been working on this project for a few years now, but it represents over 20 years of experience writing physics engines for games. Read more here: box2d.org/posts/2026/0...

20. Iconoclasts Yes, I keep recommending this game just about every Steam sale, no I probably won't stop. It's an action platformer with loads of puzzles, a fantastic soundtrack, some of the best pixelart ever, and a magnificent story with so many awesome characters, it's an all-timer indie gem.

Shower thought: Everyone insists that institutions of higher education are the backbone of our societies, yet don't seem to grasp where all the people who are dismantling those societies for short-term profits were educated.

I think maybe the Muricans are trolling us when they go "Europeans don't know about AC" and "Italian food actually sucks compared to Mexican food", the same way I suspect they are trolling us when they argue they deserve to be poor because they're not entrepreneurs. No other explanation, really.

A few years ago, there was a big Discourse Cycle about code quality in games, and the emerging consensus was that Code That Works Is Good, and that all else is fripperies. LLMs produce Code That Works. It's bloated as fuck and hateful to read, but it works. Do we agree that this is good code, then?

Alternative to dead internet theory: All content on the internet fucking sucks because all the cool people with enjoyable lives quickly realized that this place is for fucking losers and noped out, leaving us alone to be weird and awkward posers surrounded by grifters trying to exploit our neuroses.

You know know what? Let's do it. Fuck the US, they've been fucking us raw for a quarter of a century now and they are in terminal decline. Cut ties with them, cut deals with emerging economies in Asia and Africa, help build a better world without US hegemony www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I have become weirdly chill in the last couple of years even in the face of Relentless Fuckening, wonder if that's because I'm now old and don't have the energy to be angry, or if I've just accepted that life will happen whatever my opinions about it might be, and just live it without too much worry

I see people are talking about whether or not to work in the games industry. I'd say it's definitely a luxury career, has much more in common with music than tech, in that the talent is generally undervalued, underappreciated and exploited. Money tends to go to right holders, not the actual artists.

I hate to piss on the gloom parade, but Xbox has been bullshit for over a decade now. Only reason Microsoft has kept it around is a mix of organizational inertia and strategic confusion. Western AAA industry is failing because it has been mostly boring shit for a decade now, Asia is doing just fine.

Let's not call them AI boosters, tokenmaxxers, clankers or whatever. Let's call them slopulists.

Funny how the people most screwed by the massive increase in computer component prices (digital creative workers) are also the ones most screwed by the causes of the massive increases in computer component prices.

Andy Burnham must resign

Rough day, so have a poem about the Jar of Moles in the Grant Zoology Museum in London that everyone has regarded as too thoroughly batshit to publish

Inspired by McMansionHell, here is my review of this random building I found in Lithuania while driving around in Euro Truck Simulator 2; A game where you're not meant to look very closely at anything

Synth Alert: EH-01 early access, a Teensy 4.1 synth with the coolest 3d printed design that looks straight out of Evangelion.
