how many views do you reckon Axel F Crazy Frog has on youtube? Because I figured it was in the mid to high ten millions and I was off by about one hundred times that
there's a good chance that a programmer you know has this nonsense all over their screen and has given up on trying to do anything about it
Just remembered when Starmer said "the return of the sausages... hostages"
It’ll be interesting to learn, on the other side of the AI crash, which AAA studios had actually built dependencies on generative AI into their processes, and which were bullshitting.
I'm used to the rhythm of tinkering with side projects basically up until I hit a point where I'm like "hmm, not feeling as inspired rn and this is actually a lot of work" and then table them for a bit but one of them turned a corner recently and now its just in my brain all the time
didn't know it was possible to feel down bad for a game like this
FrogmanDev@frogmandev.bsky.social · 2d ago#indiegame WIP 🧪 (not sure why the hands are vibrating, ignore that 🤫)
or something like "The Hidden Brilliance of 'Pokemon POOP (Rap)", runtime 3:54:30
when I opened youtube back in 2009 itd give me a video called like 'Pokemon POOP (Rap)' and now it's mostly stuff like this

you're a cowboy who's challenged me to a duel at high noon and you get there and I'm just staring directly upward at the sun to figure out if I'm on time
I like how the pawns in Dragons Dogma 2 sometimes sound like they're on Adventure Call
this is £220 more than I paid for mine six years ago, which is about as much as an Xbox 360 cost in its entirety at launch

'Games development' and 'games business' are two seperate things. The sickness lies in the business side. And it is catastrophically sick. In all meanings of the word.
I posted a clip of Henry Cavill "reloading his arms" while I was waiting for a movie to start and the post went so viral that "reloading arms" became an emote in like three or four live service games
Damien Owens@damienowens.bsky.social · last wk.My experience of the posting game: you spend half an hour carefully crafting a joke and it gets two pity likes. Toss out any old crap after four seconds’ thought and it eventually winds up on knowyourmeme. knowyourmeme.com/memes/curtai...
I can't think of another time I've seen a show do this but Adults, a show I really enjoy but would often introduce people to on a later episode, has released a prequel episode and positioned it as the the new season 1 episode 1, making the original pilot episode 2, episode 2 is now episode 3, etc.
dude.. bring it in *proceeds to try a special handshake that is a mystery to both of us and does not work*

Your truck is magic and you now owe a soul debt to the buff isekai elf girl living in your head. Run over pedestrians as Truck-kun in a chaotic OVA-sized campaign, make deliveries, and defeat the Skel...

The Emotion Engine@emotion-engine.bsky.social · 5d agoIsekai as a genre is exploding in popularity because it appeals to a universal desire to get hit by a truck rather than live in the 21st century.
what the fuck why does this @stupidtwink.bsky.social comic keep happening?
Transparency@transparency.bsky.social · 5d agoJez San, founder of Argonaut, donated 2 million pounds to the conservative party in 2025. He was the biggest individual donor in Q1 of that year. Please, be informed before purchasing anything. You can emulate PS1 games on basically any device these days (even your phone) with ease.

look it's dogshit technology and I don't want to give them good ideas but if I was a genAI company trying to sell it to people I'd do a Scarface bit with AI Paccino (with an i) because it looks like Al Paccino (with an L)
I love when something this lo-fi still has the juice. The way the hand bobs on landing immediately makes me want to jump around.

This is one of the best feeling roguelike FPSes around and it's *perfect* on Deck. One of my absolute faves to lazily play in the background while watching TV

News time! 🚨 On August 9th our Steam version will transform to become BIG HOPS TOGETHER. - Play the full adventure ONLINE with 8 players - Pick up and throw your friends - Tongue swing from other players - Steal items from each other's backpacks - Story and collection progress is shared
Making the decision to move over to Godot from unreal for my internal projects. Am after some good resources and primers to help with the transition from a unity/unreal space! Already familiar with the Node concept from previous tinkering, but any protips or gotchas to watch out for doubly helpful
