Hell yeah @wallstormer.bsky.social!!! One of the best to do it!

BDS calls for consumer [note: consumer, not artist] boycott of Spotify until the company meets demands to adopt an intersectional ethical programming, advertising, sponsorship, and partnership policy, and end all business with Partner Communications.

At this point my patience for “Kingdom Hearts is so confusing” jokes is at an all time low. Oh no, you have to play the games in a RPG series to understand the story? How wild

Two words I think we all need to remove from our vocabulary: “Content” and “creator” Both of them flatten creatives and their work into the featureless paste, and in some cases (to me at least) feel disrespectful

PANEL ANNOUNCEMENT📢 Alyssa Mercante Nathan Grayson Rebekah Valentine This panel discusses ways the games industry and games journalism exist in concert with each other, where they differ, and which events that directly impact games have also been impacting the journalists that cover them.

"Are indie games developing a gambling problem? We'll discuss this in our article by focusing in solely on recent examples that have slot facades while ignoring the entire history of mobile games made by actual gambling industry designers"

I just received all the equipment for my mini sound recording studio! Thanks for the advice everyone, I hope to set it up soon and start producing high quality public domain foley sounds for your games... any requests? 👀

Live again!!! Hanging out with @prootzel.bsky.social and a bunch of Stumpt pals playing some Slay the Spire II! www.twitch.tv/mattcaulder

People are missing the point. The problem with these people is not that they think everything is about them. It's that they think every book is meant to be read as self-insert fanfic. They lack basic literacy. They've been trained that there's one way to read and it's self-insert coffeeshop AU

Second, We Live Forever (And We Love To Live), which I made with @ifeelodd.bsky.social and reflects the core of my philosophy with regard to designing adventure ttrpgs - specificity, fetish and weird ass moves. itch.io/b/3367/we-li...

Thought about it a bit - I think if you want to get a sense of what I'm doing with TTRPG design, I have two suggestions, both games I've written with You Are Beheld. First, Dracotrophication, which I think is a distilling of what I'm doing with erotic duet games: itch.io/b/3510/draco...

We're spending the morning figuring out our honeymoon. Part of figuring that out is figuring out how to pay for it. All the profit from In The Library With The Wrench is going to help pay for it. That's the entire pitch, basically.

i really liked this line from the DBD folks, and kind of dovetails a little with the Peak quote too. the difference obviously is that these guys want to keep working on DBD forever, and the Peak folks are fine moving on eventually, and both approaches are valid www.ign.com/articles/dea...

Your Homework: Get into a fight with a stranger posting slop on LinkedIn. Confidently assert your expertise by calling out their slop.

Good morning Bsky!!! We're into a new Palace in Persona, which means a lot of fights and new Personas to fuse. We have a shorter stream today cause this afternoon I'll be live again with @stumpt.tv playing some Slay the Spire II multiplayer!!

And a lot of yall are proving them right every time you boot it up. You’re saying you’re perfectly fine accepting AI Slop games, little slop piggy gamers

the goddamn company itself is calling its own game a trojan horse to spread AI acceptance fuck this game forever, fuck these devs. do not trust any amount of backpedaling.

The developer of Peak is asking players to be a little more gracious to the studio when requesting updates, saying, "Neither us or [co-developer] Aggro Crab are live service studios, any update is a bonus not a right." https://bit.ly/4v2uh3T

I really need to figure out a consistent way to feature indie game demos and stuff on stream. There’s so many amazing games coming out all the time that I would to show off

Cat is out of the bag! Breathless has always been about communities and Mythworks understood that from the get go So we’re taking a bunch of great Breathless games beloved by the community and bundling them with the Frightmare edition This game just keeps on giving!

Wow, do you know how fucking pathetic you have to be to be name searching "ZS" to defend his punk ass on social media???

Maybe an all-timer YouTube comment on my Darwin's Paradox review.

I had a really candid chat with someone at the end of an interview, I mentioned that I had mentioned interest in moving up in the company, taking on bigger responsibility and such He said most interviewers likely saw that as a negative, because what they would need to fill that position again

HI YES I have a story in Lightspeed's April issue ✨ "Saint Zero of the Hollows and the Eagle Knight" will be free to read on April 9—but if you'd like to check out my tragic sapphic space knights before then, as well as all these other amazing stories, go pick up the issue!! 👀

Wrapping my PlayStation book—I think it's funny that Working Designs took a ton of (justified!) heat for rebalancing Alundra's bosses to hit harder and soak up more damage, turning every fight into a tiring exercise in memorization and flawless execution, and now that's, like, every game's bosses

Gurn Gelibitt fancam when

I heard something interesting in a podcast today that I realized is hella relevant to AI The only way through the apocalypse/deconstruction we're living through is creation. AI attempts to convince us that we don't need to create. Think about who doesn't want us to deconstruct institutions.

On a Panel at Breakout I got asked the question "What if someone had ChatGPT help them write their game?" and my response was "If you don't care enough to write it then why would anybody care to play it? If you don't want to work on it why do it?" to the agreement of everyone on the panel.

Buy me a spritz to celebrate Venmo: alyssa-mercante

I was INCREDIBLY lucky to be at an ALA conference several years ago, talking with librarians about getting TTRPGs into libraries and doing events Stuff like this (ESPECIALLY WHEN ITS NOT D&D) makes me just so happy

Don't fully understand what we're meant to think when AI companies insist "No, it's not a fancy autocorrect, we've enslaved something with hopes and dreams!"

I do not take booktok seriously and I never will. What the fuck you mean the epilogue and prologue “aren’t part of the book/story”???????

This is a big one: We brought on *three!* of the key players in the Sega Channel to reminisce about what it was like to build one of the first major game streaming platforms We went so long that we broke it out into a bonus episode, exclusive to Patreon supporters!

today it took all of my willpower not to call out a major indie game curator account over the following: i am. SO tired of indie games always being painted as "ACTUALLY FUN" alternatives to "MODERN AAAA SLOP" they're their own games dude! let them speak! stop projecting petty gamer rage onto them!

Campaign setting kickstarters like this by white authors need to STOP. Representation of culture, place and people WITHOUT involving the people is gross. If you've involved the people - the need to be at the FOREFRONT. It's THEIR story. youtu.be/bxKhsI-Xsxo

guess Netflix feels Louis C.K. has been canceled long enough

MANY people have already said this, but I legit don’t know who this is for. Just spend $10 a month on games, which you then OWN and gives money directly.

Everyone hates April Fools but truly what I hate is April 2nd. That’s the day that all the April Fools jokes that weren’t funny or outlandish enough get passed around as legit.

What an absolutely stellar evening of drawing for my magnificent Twitch community. Thankyou EVERYONE for all you give to The Cozy Cooperative and your continued support. The following are pieces of art that were made tonight at the request of the community, by yours truly. Here's to YOU, chat.

Except they have DRM which means it can't run on Steam Deck and is actively a few patches behind the GOG version (from what I've heard) I'm glad these games are getting a more visible release, but I can't understand the decision to add DRM where there doesn't need to be
