- Between Arc Raiders, Fellowship and BF6, Swedish game dev continues to demonstrate an absolutely immense aura Great to see games being successful 🤘
- Got some new ink from the one and only www.instagram.com/isnardbarbos... Melinoë's brother is OP imo #Hades
- Hades Hades Hades Hades Hades Hades Hades Hades Hades Hades Hades Hades
- Why is YouTube search absolutely gone to the dogs. Most of the results are barely relevant and it doesn't return many results before it just tangents into recommended video, and the amount of shorts it pushes at you is insane! It's like they're trying to shoot themselves in the foot
- That headshot collateral double kill had me going a little 😱 #battlefield6
- "The people who did these things to us will never see consequences. You will have to make peace with that however you can, because the last step is leaving them behind altogether, and never thinking about them again." Poignant and relatable to previous experiences.
- "They cannot hurt you anymore; once we purge the damage they inflicted, their influence is gone forever." ❤️🩹
- Indie devs I am begging you to use readable fonts anywhere a font is present anywhere in your game. Completely understand desire to use a font that feels appropriately stylised for art direction, but some fonts genuinely hurt your players ability to play your game from accessibility perspective
- Entirely possible to stylise standard accessible fonts with colour and weighting to fit your games artstyle while maintaining accessibility imo Related, I'll always shout-out Atkinson Hyperledgible for accessibility purposes. It's available free to all uses too! www.brailleinstitute.org/freefont/
- Seen by Kings of Leon is criminally underrated. My hot take: it's their best song. Better than Sex on Fire (And I love Sex on Fire)
- Anyone else seeing a huge influx of bits following them over the last while? Clearly fake accounts
- How is the current age of 2025 Star Wars is Andor a thing and why is it soooo much better than everything else that Disney has done with Star Wars?
- Reposted by Water MaloneMy schedule has some space from June onwards, so send me a message if you want to improve your tools & pipelines! I teach teams how to design good workflows via tools strategy consulting, OpenUSD workflow design, Tool UX Design masterclasses, and workshops. rystorm.com/consulting
- Hot take: GDP is the most misleading statistic in existence and it's actively damaging to society
- So happy seeing more stylised animated films coming out of Hollywood. Really felt like we were gonna get stuck and homogenised around the Pixar style of animation. youtu.be/eWzPKrNoSyM?...
- Reposted by Water MaloneWhat does a level designer do? What is the difference between UX design and product design? Is everyone in QA also a 'game developer'? The reality is that your job title doesn't matter youtu.be/yWv4WHkDF0w
- Reposted by Water MaloneVoidborn 1.0 is out now! Create devastating weapon builds in this fast-paced FPS as you journey through massive dark fantasy environments, challenge tough bosses, face inevitable death, and rise stronger with every rebirth.
- Anyone have any recommendations for video game and/or anime merch stores that have decent quality/aren't fast fashion? Specifically, I'm looking for some tank tops. I've used Fangamer and Uniqlo (debatable fast fashion, but decent quality), and like them, but they don't seem to have tank tops
- Some merch clothing just evaporates after a wash and the fabric doesn't feel nice on your skin (can be quite scratchy and have seems in bad places). Would rather not buy clothes that are going to disintegrate after a few washes and aren't comfortable
- Nothing makes you push new PRs at the gym like being absolutely furious. Very much feeling like Kratos rn

- Boy am I ready for Nordic transcendence
- I enjoyed transcending Nordically 🤘
- The Thomas the Tank Engine theme song has no right to be as much of a banger as it is
- Real happy to see Solo Levelling get the popularity it deserves. The Manwha is one of my favourite collection of illustrations going. RIP Dabu, I'm sure he would've loved seeing his work brought to animation.
