Seeing a lot of people making videos about feeling empty. I encourage you to look for something you can do for your community. Modern life has isolated us so much & so much sadness can be mended by doing a kindness for other people just because you can.

Unchanged by time and untouched by the sword. For now.
This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.
Being a part of recent fandoms has reinforced a lot of my dislike for theory culture. Theories on their own are fine - it’s natural and fun to have them! But when people get too attached to their preconceptions over the story actually being told, attitudes get SUPER toxic.
All those times over the years I talked about how important owning your media physically is, and time and time again I'd get the "You DO own digital though" or "we gotta just accept it" I don't have to accept shit. I prioritize physical ownership or DRM Free EVERY time. This is why.
PlayStation is deleting over 500 purchased movies from its customers' accounts 🎞️ • Includes films like 'Terminator 2', 'Rambo', 'Apocalypse Now', 'Hot Fuzz', and 'Moonlight' • No mention of refunds • Comes after a licensing deal ended
I must have told youtube to stop recommending me too many channels, cuz now it's feeding me some truly diluted slop.
Idk who needs to hear this but if you want to make a game and you're holding yourself back because you think it's not unique/special enough to stand out... just make it. If it's an idea you're passionate about, it doesn't matter. Just make the game. Make it and be proud you made it. It's yours.

don't use AI if you can help it. divest from places that have embraced AI if you can. stop using apps that embrace AI if it can be done. starve them of attention! starve them!
I kind of feel like... based on the remakes of Link's Awakening, Thousand Year Door (technically a remaster), and Star Fox; Ocarina of Time remake might just be... the exact same game in a new engine? Maybe with more story? It'll be interesting to see. The new designs so far do have me excited tho.
@breebunn.bsky.social Couple notes if you're interested in Xenoblade: MMO combat, can feel slow, seems complicated at first. Great story writing, gigantic worlds to explore, beautiful music, awesome cutscene choreography. Gripes: XC1 side quests blow. 2 is the cringiest, for v/a and char design.
Peak is back on the menu! Welcome back Xenoblade!!! GRRRRAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!! 😭😭😭
Shift Up taking some inspiration from Alita/Gunnm I think with the new Stellar Blade. Could be a coincidence. Don't like how the mc's face looks like a child, but I do love when a deep voice lady punches stuff.
We lost Jonathan Joss exactly One Year ago today. A neighbor burned his house, killed his dogs and shot him in the street for being Gay. Never forget Jonathan Joss. #KingOfTheHill #JohnRedcorn
Also happy birthday to johnch (xxjohnchxx on insta), his request was of Birdy the Mighty ! 👀👁🗨
#gamedev when I made it so that a properly timed parry will interrupt all in front of you, and not just the attacker, it made things feel better (WIP obviously) not every enemy can be staggered from a single parry, but weak/basic ones can #metroidvania #solodev #animation
Gamers: "All games are the same, it's boring! Where is the innovation?" *devs experimenting with a long running series* Gamers: "THIS IS GARBAGE! I WANT THE SAME THING AS LAST TIME!"
Last 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.
When politicians say they can't hold corporations accountable, remember: they can. They just choose not to.
Here's the thing I grew up with Earthworm Jim games and the cartoon and loved them too Yes, Doug sucks. But EWJ is bigger than he is and it's OK to be a fan. The games/show were made by a lot of talented people, not just him Plus he sold the rights in 1995, it hasn't been his property for decades
It always sucks to find a piece of your nostalgia attached to something vile. I played the original games and watched the cartoons as a kid. I hated earthworm jim 64 though. Abysmal gameplay. I wish the creators of fun stuff would stop being sucky human beings.
#screenshotsaturday Okay I've made it so you can do this little salute by pressing down, or if you press R3 you can "chill". A key mechanic being that while chilling you can move your head around with the analog stick. #gamedev #metroidvania #solodev
friday, chillin' with the homie #gamedev #screenshotsaturday -ish 🎶 #metroidvania #solodev #art
I'm not used to the new design yet, but I am a huge supporter of bird shoes, so I did my best attempt to make it work.
A Star Fox Rogue-like mode would go crazy. Add new weapons and buffs etc. Let health upgrades carry to the next level, at least.
Nintendo should consider including a free digital game with the Switch 2 when the price increases to $500, like a redo of the Mario Kart World launch bundle. Brand it as a “Your Choice” bundle and let people pick from a selection of first-party games. Wouldn’t cost them much to do it.
No. They make new ones and they always bomb so they run back to the same story....5 times now
