one of my favorite pieces of game writing ever is a one paragraph translated Chinese review of Disco Elysium on amazon dot com. maybe I can be a good person for a while.

"Game dev is one of those jobs you only do when you really want to. It's not going to make your parents proud, you're unlikely to get rich in an industry that lays off people for making superhits, and its a demanding & confrontative job. Why would you let a machine do the thing you're here to do?"
Austin Wood@woodwould.bsky.social · 2mo agoI spent the last few months talking to over 30 game developers about generative AI. It began as a sort of interview survey but became a pretty comprehensive collection of arguments against the technology altogether. www.gamesradar.com/games/why-so...

first try at lighting a scene in unreal engine, how did I do?
SwiftOnSecurity@swiftonsecurity.com · 2mo agoCame across this house on a drive last night. It's a little upper-end with the interior courtyard gate and lighting and stuff but absent the land cost many Americans live like this in our great country.
After playing @cloakanddaggerg.bsky.social ‘s The Excavation of Hobs Barrow I found myself in the UK for a wedding so we had to check out the local barrow. I can confirm there were no hobs spotted.
Michael is a friend and I’ve witnessed this all play out firsthand. I will only say to never give a moment of your time or a cent of your money to engaging with miHoYo slop. Despicable behavior that should lead to resignations
Michael Kamm@michaelkamm.games · 2mo agoLast year, miHoYo copied my puzzle game Ouros in Zenless Zone Zero. Because they are a recognized, billion-dollar studio and my game isn't well known, some people are now assuming that their version is the original, and mine is the clone. I hope this video clears that up.
In the 90s what they called “payola” was deemed one of the worst crimes an artist could commit. To be caught paying for coverage would condemn you as a sellout for life. In 2026 it’s called “marketing” and you are chided and called Unserious if you refuse to do it. 😊
It was the workers themselves who decided to arrange the bones into mosaics.
Back in the US. Here’s some pics of KB, the mascot of the Hongdae Red Road (and his yellow friend Kon)
quick 9 based on what’s influenced my current project the most. Hoping to have a real announcement soon 🤓✌️
Sam Barlow 🔥@mrsambarlow.bsky.social · 5mo agoTried to do the 9 games for the games I played on my first games machine (Amstrad CPC) and so likely the most formative stuff; but don't love that weird box art for StarQuake (genius 8-bit open world metroidvania)

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.
Recently played: CAIRN, my second French rock climbing game in the past six months. Surprisingly elegant controls, great characters, a compelling and understated narrative. I really enjoyed it overall, but I'll admit to finding the psychedelic ending a bit trite. Not my thing I guess 😜
In December 2025 the contents of the PS2 game 'Yu-Gi-Oh: The Duelists of the Roses' were dumped to the Modeler's Resource by user Batzpup. I've never heard of this game before today but apparently it is just hundreds upon hundreds of stone-cold low-poly masterpieces.
@bysameng.com showing off the onesy at a Q&A with @foddy.net @gcuzzillo.bsky.social. It’s incredible how much Gabe and Bennett sound like Nate and Jim…
SHIVERS - A grey rain falls on Martinaise. The city soaks in it, cold and dripping. Waves hit the concrete breakers. The homeless huddle by the fires behind the fences. There, among the shacks, is your home. Stay. Have a drink. Forever.
