#indiedev #gamejobsi have just gotten off a productive call with sauron where i laid out our requests
- nazgul bodycams
- morgul knife must remain sheathed unless suspect is determined to be carrying the one ring
- shelob will be the new point of contact
Happy that their support is caving in. But also, what a stark illustration of moral cowardice. Two residents of your state blown away by armed thugs, and whether or not you excused it depended on how the polls looked.
She should resign and seek forgiveness from whatever god she prays to.
an instructive example of just how much things shifted for congressional Republicans between the shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti: Minnesota Rep. Michelle Fischbach's responses to each incident

Hurting people is easy. It's lazy. Anyone can do it with the right tools and the wrong morals.
Protecting people is hard. It takes restraint and courage and empathy. They will never have that. So they can never win, in the end. Minneapolis will win.
The idea that we're drawing our resolve from each other, that we are willing to put ourselves in harm's way to protect our neighbors, even ones we do not know, it's unthinkable to them.
They don't understand that real strength doesn't come from HURTING PEOPLE but from PROTECTING THEM.
Their entire worthless existence is built around climbing to the top of this hierarchy of domination. They want to find weaker people to hurt, so they can be strong. Bovino and Miller lust for it.
And now they're on top and it's all turning to ash and they do not and can not understand how.
This is why they're here. I've had this discussion many times with neighbors.
They're here because they're cowards who'd run and hide if they encountered someone stronger, with more guns, who could kill them.
They expected us to do that, and don't understand why we don't.
And now they're stuck.
I do think that a possibly underrated dynamic in The Horrors is that the Right as it has reconstituted itself under Trump legitimately can’t understand sincere moral or physical courage
Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind.
It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty.
Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face.
Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.
This is what epistemic vandalism looks like. Not just erasure, but insisting on a standard of communication that is by default dehumanizing, degrading and degendering, laundered as neutral language on pseudoscientific grounds.
Encoding bias into how we are even referred to.
holy shit dude they're making a full version of KILN?!?!?! FROM AMNESIA FORTNIGHT 2017?!?!?!

gonna make a super dad joke here but I wanna first assert that I have standing to make this fuckin joke. I am not OG resident evil but I did first play it in the mid-00s. ok here comes the joke prepare yourself. shouldn't he be attending evil by now? cool got that off my chest, thanks everybody
if anyone needs a reason to keep hope in this dark time please pay attention to what's going on in minnesota. the people there are heroes
How it started/how it's going
In the span of weeks, I've gone from someone who has never used Godot, to struggling to "get" Godot, to really liking Godot, to having taught aspiring gamedevs the basics of Godot, to strongly believing Godot's workflow & structure might be the best approach to developing games for many purposes.
been playin this game since i got home from work...it's really fun! i'm really loving the fruits as different platforming mechanics, and being able to store them in a backpack for later use is....tantalizing...
I hit the button ✅😭🐸
🚨BIG HOPS is OUT NOW🚨
Get it on Steam | Switch | PS5 for just $17.99 with our 10% launch discount!
#indiegames #nintendoswitch #ps5
also holy crap its just so cute lookin
So how we feelin' about that Epic ecosystem nowadays?
We all feel confident that Fortnite is a good spot for kids to hang out?
which is why anyone who defaults to having respect for other people and their work rejects ai without exception
the discourse on what jobs are acceptable to replace with generative AI reveals a lot about what we think of other people's jobs
I keep trying to post some dumb jokes and promote my dang games but this keyboard just keeps typing, “Fuuuuuuuuck ICE,” over and over.
holy cow the pixelart layers on this are incredible...i can't even imagine how much work goes into something like this
Running out of air doesn't kill you!
Just makes you rush to the surface
this game looks so cool.....
In case you missed it, BIG HOPS is coming out January 12th on Steam, Switch, and PS5!

this is an appreciation post for the people who maintain VSCodium

Lately I've been feeling so deeply exhausted about how every single creative person is wasting so much time thinking about and arguing about how this useless dogshit doesn't work and can never work; so I gotta say, seeing players overwhelmingly understand that too makes me SO happy and encouraged
as someone who genuinely likes playing fortnite...i need some suggestions for what to replace it with
It's amazing that there are people who don't think we're in a bubble.
This will backfire horrifically and every decision-maker involved will deserve it.
Valve: The company that takes 30% of your revenue in order to let their customers say horribly racist things about your game
Valve has now rejected my complaint, confirming that "I don't like muslims" is a valid reason to leave a negative review on a game on Steam
This is where we're at now.
so insanely fucking real for this
Part of the 30% cut that Valve takes is the implicit agreement that they'll protect developers from the hassle of dealing with individual payment providers, and if they're not actually willing to go to bat for us, why are we paying them so much again
"people im about to fire and then rehire at lower rates are jumping to extreme takes!!" evergreen c-suite take
i promise that most people who know about and work in tech, art, and other impacted industries BADLY want to be effing normal about genAI but that ship sailed away on a catastrophic bubble like 11 billionaires ago
love the implication here that this middle ground was taken away by spicy online anti-genAI hot takes, as opposed to the trillion dollar investment bubble, omnipresent industrial takeover, operating system undermining, mass layoffs, leveraged data center construction, + ensuing environmental impacts

people think being a videogame producer is about making schedules and checking in, but it's actually about getting on your hands and knees to beg the trans witches who code your games to use their mental illnesses for good and to get on a call with each other instead of 100+ slack msg threads
this fuckin rocks
I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering
sex and drugs are cool or whatever but have you ever won a game of magic the gathering the turn after your opponent resolves an emrakul

play stupid games (putting a heater under your bed and then connecting it to the internet) win stupid prizes (getting burned alive in the night by your bed)
who's gonna be the hero to sell these to fascists so we can hack their beds to eat them alive like nightmare on elm street
Eight Sleep smartbeds users had a bad night on Monday when a major outage of Amazon Web Services (AWS) caused their beds to malfunction. Some were left with the bed’s heat blasting. One woman said her bed went haywire and she had to unplug it from the wall.

The AWS Outage Bricked People’s $2,700 Smartbeds
When Amazon Web Services went offline, people lost control of their cloud-connected smart beds, getting stuck in reclined positions or roasting with the heat turned all the way up.
Gushing reviews rolling in for Absolum. Not surprising - that demo (still available) was really damn good, and pretty replayable to boot.
For those unaware: Roguelite (Hades-esque) side-scrolling brawler from the gameplay team behind Streets Of Rage 4, paired with French animation studio Supamonks.

kind of an homage to this beautiful mtg card art by chuck grieb
hoping to make more pixelart in the future, now that ive secured a few contracts for gamedev work its kinda my main creative hobby (other than building mtg decks lol)
Let's respond to hate with love.
Let's respond to love with big love.
To those who are anti-transgender, Chiitan isn't asking you to understand transgender people.
I ask that you quietly watch over us.
Transgender people just want to be happy with the people they love🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
i absolutely love this clip

It's been a while.
Glad to be announcing a new game, and happy that it is something experimental and weird: a tiny, tense, turn-based strategy game about merging units into spectacular combinations, and then watching them evaporate thousands of bugs.

@magic.wizards.com put out a physical novella version of the edge of the eternities story i would buy it in a heartbeat. just putting that into the universe. i still think about that story weeks after reading it, will probably reread it at some point soon
Most people's imagination for "true evil" stops far short of what the US and the EU allow Israel to do to the Palestinians every day.
Whatever evil you think of when you think "supreme evil", Israel is worse. To destabilize Gaza, they armed the gangs stealing the UN-supplied aid, blamed Hamas & the UN for the theft, then installed shoot-civilians-testicles-for-points Israeli and US mass-murderers to "run the aid distribution".
The 'uncharismatic, illiterate' criminal behind Gaza's aid-looting gangs
Violent gangs have been raiding convoys of aid as they are trucked through Gaza, and behind one of the largest groups is a criminal who has reportedly been armed and protected by Israel.
(michael caine voice) some girls aren't looking for anything logical, like money. they can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. some girls just want to have fun
continuing to run the UBI experiment 14,000,605 times every decade in search of one time it ever won't produce clear positive results for everyone involved so there can finally be an example for the ultra wealthy people to point to illustrating why we can't do that like they've always been saying
If you're a Canadian dev directly affected by these changes on Itch or Steam, I want to talk to you.
I think some people have trouble seeing fascism as anything other than 1940s Germany.
But I think 'people going to a comic convention needing to have a plan in case the government's goons show up to disappear people' is a pretty good demonstration of what it can look like in 2025.

i think itch could have handled it better, but we don't know what they do behind the scenes because, and again please let me drive this point home more,

Collective Shout, the group that took credit for bullying Mastercard into recently censoring more platforms, stated that apparently it took them ~1000 phonecalls to convince them to give them what they wanted?
We got like way more people than that don't we?
collective shout hiding behind feminist rhetoric while they do this fascist bullshit is infuriating. fuck these people
