"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!

In World 8-7 of New Super Mario Bros. Wii, releasing a mushroom on the third Spine Coaster but not collecting it results in an entertaining interaction whereby the Spine Coaster will balance the mushroom on its nose, like a seal trained to balance a ball.

You can become disabled or homeless in an instant. It just takes one accident or illness to change your life forever. It’s not a moral failing. You can’t just “try harder”. People need support, compassion and to have their basic needs met. That’s how you ensure survival.

tfw u look at some boilerplate html and remember that you don't like working in html very much I don't know what it is about it compared to bbcode. maybe the very "scream into the void" nature of the pastime?)

I don't know who needs to see this but. Your art matters. Imposter Syndrome is real, but so is the hard work you put into your art. It is work, it will always be effort. It will always be a struggle to find happiness with your work. But it matters to keep creating. It matters, and so do you.

You know what? I'm proud of this. y'all get to see this map that I drew here. This uses a minecraft map as a reference (particularly a journeymap render), featuring a number of downloaded buildings I found on planet minecraft.

a comprehensive overhead map of a location called "unity village", particularly the upper half of it.

My best advice for any game devs recently laid off is to keep in touch with your closest coworker friends, do a group call at least once a week, share job postings in the chat, hype each other up, and just generally look out for each other.

Lakitu's Japanese name, Jugemu, is taken from a folk tale about a boy with an extremely long name. However, the name is so absurdly long that several other Lakitu-related names were also taken from different parts of it, and it still has space for more references in the future.

"Jugemu" is a Japanese folk story about a boy with an extremely long name. After giving Lakitu a name in Japanese that referenced it, this became a running gag in Mario games, resulting in various spiky or Lakitu-adjacent entities taking names from it. Here is how the story goes: A father goes to the local temple to ask the priest for a good name for his newborn son. The priest suggests many different names that are supposed to bring good fortune. Unable to decide, the father simply named his son every single suggestion all at once. The boy's name is...
