I make games and write. I don't care for kyriarchy. I'm part of @futureproofgames.bsky.social.

"Indies will save us" No! YOU WILL SAVE INDIES! Go leave a review for that neat indie game you like, share the trailer for an upcoming game you're anticipating, tell your fave developer they did a good job, go tell people about such and such game that's just come out, you can make a difference!

Love has never needed permission from labels 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 My emptiness of gender lets me see that clearly. Anxiety tightens around transgender lives right now. Why must their chosen bonds still pass through someone else’s gate? Why is the soul they claim treated as a request instead of a right?

like the feature everyone is selling for their software right now is "new feature: you wont have to use our fucking horrible software as much, you can rent us a robot from us" which like surely this is a sign on some level that there is a design problem in the software ?? that you are renting me ?

Update: Steam determined that Future? No Thanks! contains "Sexual content that is explicit or graphic and is intended for adults only" + "Frequent Nudity or Sexual Content" (not true) The achievement icon and/or title "Have Sex One Last Time" was deemed inappropriate. Updating and resubmitting...

An achievement graphics for the game Future? No thanks! that steam considers not appropriate for all audiences.

Well, it finally happened! After 9 years of Unity dominance, Godot was the most used game engine for GMTK Game Jam 2026 submissions. 🤖 Godot - 47% 🎮 Unity - 34% 🛠️GameMaker - 5% 🚀 Unreal Engine - 3% ✨ Other - 11%

Pie chart showing game engines used to create 10,511 GMTK Game Jam games in 2026. Godot has the largest slice with 47%. Then Unity with 34%. Other with 11%. Game Maker with 5%. And Unreal Engine with 3%.

It's insane how many people don't know anything about Myst. Myst is the reason we started used discs for computer games, and the game that made mainstream culture start considering video games to be art. It is like more significant to video game history than any film was to film history.

i think one of the biggest underlinings in just how bad the western industry has been about its own legacy is like. myst isnt just an old game. it was final fantasy vii before final fantasy vii. it was that fucking huge.

Chiitan loves all genders 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 Because I myself have no gender. Even now, transgender people are carrying deep anxiety— yet I believe they have the right to freely love the ones they desire, and to live together with their true soul.

yes! as someone who’s been working in procedural text before LLMs were a thing, I really wish people had a sense of the varieties of procgen writing that *aren’t* genAI output. there’s a ton of stuff we can do (including pre-LLM, ML style AI) that’s nothing like chatbot output directly in a game.

Thank you! Very illuminating. We’re so fixated on genAI right now, it’s useful to be reminded of the varieties of synthetic and procedural text flowing through different kinds of experiences.

Corporate mergers should be illegal. Companies should not be allowed to buy other companies. I recognize how many regulation and enforcement and straight-up logistical challenges that would create, but we gotta do something about all this.
