- Reposted by KaoIsso tbm fica de lembrete pra nós - a experiência com games de um brasileiro médio nos anos 2000 foi mais próxima de um iraquiano (q tava sendo invadido!) dq de um americano comprando jogo original na loja. Era assim no Iraque, Brasil, Filipinas, Malásia, etc... cabe a nós contar essa história.
- The Tunisia guy mentions he helped with a magazine on the history of gaming in Iraq - you can download it here: iqgc.net Once again, paying per hour to play consoles comes up. I can't shout enough how this was the default for basically the entre global south but gets ignored when retelling history

Thank you all for making Godot possible! It's incredibly hard to make a public general-purpose game engine. A project of this scale is only possible due to contributors putting in countless hours and to people supporting it and making games with it! Thank you for making gamedev open-source ❤️- #Godot 4.6 is out, and all about your flow! This release puts you and your workflow first with a new theme, flexible docks, and dozens of UX improvements. And Jolt Physics by default, revamped IK, better reflections, and more. Less wrestling with UI. More making games. godotengine.org/releases/4.6

- Reposted by KaoI intend to use my profits from the game to fund and uplift creators less privileged than he is. I’ve already begun that effort with the Draknek New Voices Puzzle Grant: grants.draknek.org
- Reposted by KaoSo, “Order of the Sinking Star” by Thekla was just announced, which takes several small free games (two of which are mine) and gives them a major graphical upgrade and mashes up their rulesets. I haven’t been very involved but it’s a great concept and looks cool.
- I DO NOT think everything is about me, once again people on the internet making these wrong assumptions about me
- This is a banger episode. I thought “cool, a concept and I will learn about it” but @gregk.co.uk traced a line through a massive chunk of human history in ways I couldn’t have imagined. Mind blowing really
- Just saying that if you were on the Patreon you would know what the game is. Will I tell you? NO. Join the Patreon ;)
- Reposted by KaoWe have made a new update explaining our newest game project we’re working on now that will most likely be our next release. No it’s not Clowned King, and no we’re not ready for announcing it fully yet, but you will learn why we’re moving onto this project instead! Link below 👇
- I like the Liquid Glass thingy on my phone, but I'm still not upgrading to Tahoe until the next major version hoping they will fix it in a Mountain Lion sort of way

- Reposted by KaoTo sum it up: Sword & Fairy 4 had combat QTEs since 2007. The remake's art direction is exactly the same since its reveal in Dec 2024. The combat UI is every modern JRPG ever, from Trails of Cold Steel III to Persona 5 to Star Rail. Goddamn those sneaky Chinese stealing from the saviors of JRPGs!
- Started Murderbot while @visca.bsky.social was watching Pluribus and they are both so good we convinced each other to catch up to finish them together. I’m at Ep 7 of Pluribus, so just one more and we are in sync

- Reposted by KaoThere are no safe spaces, big corporations take over everything and destroy everything, it seems like a solitary world of giants crawling around consuming us, the ants in the way, but in truth, we have each other and the belief that there's hope when morals are upheld by those in power. Be that hope
- Reposted by KaoOk, since apparently I got nominated for @nyvgcc.bsky.social's award for game journalism based on this piece, I'll share it again: felipepepe.medium.com/the-gentrifi... Happy that it resonated with so many people across the globe, it fits nicely in a year where Despelote united Latin America XD
- Reposted by KaoI'm happy my efforts for a more global game history are appreciated, but I feel this is unfair to people who actually work as game journos... I only wrote one article that went viral and started a book, I don't even think it makes sense to call me a journalist... But thanks for enjoying what I do :)
