Jay Faulkner@jukibom.bsky.social · 3mo agoIt's wild the small things you don't think about in games that end up being this whole day-long thing to implement. I added dynamic xbox / playstation / keyboard etc input glyphs. It ain't much but it's honest work (shout-out to @kenney.nl for the fantastic assets! kenney.nl/assets/input...)
Wish my BSky feed had more Knicks content on it! I havent loved basketball like this since I was a Barkley/Dr J fan. Jalen Brunson is who I wanna be like when I grow up.

I've been looking at other games since we put @windupminds.com Steam page up - and having worked on EverQuest, there's a lack of interesting MMOs. Check out Minimo - roguelike MMO! Friend of mine is working on this, wishlist it if it scratches your MMO itch! store.steampowered.com/app/3107290/...
Minimo on Steam
Minimo throws hundreds of players into a massive world for a fast, unpredictable roguelike adventure. Every run is different, every session a race against the clock. Team up, explore, and see how far ...

My indie game team is bringing our virtual pet to PC and Steamdeck - Stay: Your Forever Pet! Get ready to adopt Ember later this year in Early Access! Help us by wishlisting and sharing. I *promise* you - she's a very good girl. Mostly. store.steampowered.com/app/4385270/... 100% made by hoomans.
I am in the minority of game developers who didn’t like Meow Wolf Omega Mart. Team Lab Borderless better presentation; Sleep No More a better audience experience. Video games far better agency.
One of the best things I've done is form a little Discord server with a few trusted indie studio heads. We're all trying to figure stuff out and sharing info, decks, data. We were on a few other similar groups but couldnt trust info wouldnt leak out of them. So now it's small, cozy and tight-knit.
haul Bovino’s ass in front of the judge every six hours to explain this shit keep hauling him in, hold him in contempt, make his life miserable until he tells his goons to cut it out
Elliott Payne@elliottpayne.org · 8mo agoThis is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.
@stay-forever-home.com has been nominated for Rufftalk VR's MR game of the year! It's been an intense year for...well, everyone. Which is why I'm proud we brought to life something loveable: Ember, our virtual pet. Show Ember that you know she's a good girl! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
i wonder if the dems think they have the votes to get aca subsidies passed?
Greg Pak@gregpak.net · 11mo agoOkay, Ezra is confirming that he's hearing D senators are actually plotting to cave to Trump and end the shutdown WITHOUT any extension of the ACA, just a promise of a vote later down the line. Call your senators, friends, NOW, and tell them NO DEAL without ACA funding! Find them here: reps.fyi
