I don’t know how people could say that programming and art are completely different disciplines when both workflows involve going ‘This will never work, I’m a failure’, changing one thing, then thinking you might be the smartest person alive

now this is a smart explanation of the problem

Got side-tracked by PAX/Games week stuff here and never posted pics of The Drifter Big Box that arrived! It turned out amazing. Here it is on my trophy shelf + a dorky selfie with it. More info here if you want one -> store.reboxy.net/p/the-drifter

Fuck yeah, Braziiiil!

Lula has been reelected president, Brazilian media has now called. An extraordinary comeback for the left-wing politician who trailed by 2 points in round 1 but managed to hold off Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son.

Please do not talk about games from after 2008, they are all still on my to-play list

Finally played the PuppyTruck demo, and really enjoyed it! It's somewhat of a cross between a 90s collectathon platform and Cool Spot on the Megadrive/SNES. Been looking forwards to this for a while, because cute tiny things are absolutely my jam. store.steampowered.com/app/3940440/...

Absolutely zero AI coding in The Last Exterminator. Like barely even use libraries and don’t event copy+paste code from the internet, why would I let slop into my codebase?

The level of activity on social media is always inversely proportional to how much time you have to kill

So Selaco has a BFG-type weapon now.

I know I'm super late to the party, but what the fuck happened with Franks voice in the Dead Rising remaster?

finding it super hard to take anyone seriously who thinks this isn’t a bubble. it’s like watching kids all bumrush the piñata once it hits the floor. why would a delay to a data centre spook you if you thought this was a wise investment in long term infrastructure for a guaranteed return

NextDC value on ASX smashed by delays to West Footscray data centre

You can get a decent gaming PC for that, that'd be able to play pretty much the entire Steam library, and you could even upgrade it in the future. Who in their right mind would bother with a 1200 proprietary machine?

$1200-1800 for a console is such commercial suicide I can't even muster a "get the fuck outta here" about the news aftermath.site/xbox-helix-nex...

destructible testing. The joys of doing away with baked lighting and moving to vertex lit means all light sources can be shot out for those of you who prefer the darkness.

You... you don't want to give that name another pass?

Sometimes you've got to cast a spell that freezes things for a bit to help you out

If complaining about the use of GenAI can force a company to remove a game from sale makes me think you have a lot of power complaining at companies and not acting like it’s investable and we should roll over. They want you to be quiet cos it’s easier for them so be loud when you see it.

The Telwynium's just passed 10k wishlists on Steam! Chuffed that there's an audience out there for niche-within-a-niche games like these! Thanks to LudoNarraCon for helping people find it- check it out if you haven't- great games there and it only goes a few more days! -> bit.ly/LNCTheatreTab

I keep telling people ‘don’t write your own engine, it’ll take forever and if you just wanna make a game it’ll be a huge hassle’ … but life really seems to be rewarding me with smugness for having my own engine at the moment

Our shotgun is so overpowered we had to invent a whole new enemy for Chapter 2 just to survive one shot. The Heavy Grunt requires TWO shots!

I've always been good with faces and bad with names, and after two days of manning a PAX booth, I am no longer good with faces

Where’s my victorian based pixel artists at? I may have work for you ❤️
