Queer nerd. Lead Programmer for Auroch Digital, larper, just generally a bit of a weirdo. Still trying to work out how to make a good video game tragedy
We are like, 15 or 18 years into a movement in software UI design that was originally called "flat design" and is now so normalized it has no name at all. You now have to invent and use a special adjective to describe a design that is *not* flat. I still hate "flat design".

I say that I'm making level blockouts. I'm actually just making creepy guys, and that's okay.
That first screenshot alone has convinced me to give it a shot. I feel like no one has ever Really gone through the full implications of Hellraiser in any of the sequels, and putting that concept front and centre suggests that this game might fully Get It.
just chase 🎃@manacurves.bsky.social · 2w agoThe demo for Hellraiser: Revival came out today and I took a stab at it (pun intended). The demo is AMAZING and FREAKY. It's like if Hellraiser, Bioshock, & PT had a baby. I've had this game preordered for months and can't wait for it to drop next month. Here are screenshots from my gameplay.
am at blackpool pleasure beach today and as a giggly fan of rollercoasters, every picture of me at the end just looks like sickos.jpg
back before AI, video game developers had to make every digital woman look the same through hard work and artistry
big fan of the transfem spidey stuff as of late, throwing my hat into the ring
If only one kind of a minifig gets made and the company never mention its origins, that's a hapax legomanon
Real America is sick of movies with no trans people in them, ignore them at your peril Hollyweird
DiscussingFilm@discussingfilm.net · 2mo ago‘THE ODYSSEY’ is now tracking to pass $1 billion worldwide in its box office run. It is expected to become Christopher Nolan's highest grossing film ever.
This was a fascinating exercise: find out what went wrong with creativity in the games industry. The conclusion: there are too many cowards controlling too many critical levers, and until we figure out how to put people -taste, creativity, and craft- back at the top, we're going to be stuck.

Sekiro is the best From game by a lot. This is not dismissing the rest of the catalogue: however good you think the others are, Sekiro is just that much better. It really is a singular masterpiece.
A kid pirating a game is not a "lost sale". That kid doesn't have the money to buy the game anyway. A kid with pirated games will however grow up to be into videogames, and buy a whole lot of them later in life. That money is what the game industry runs on.
"You gotta check out this viral animated web show dude, it's about a bunch of weirdos trapped in a simulated world, but get this: it's also about trau--"
So from what I understand about the TADC finale, having not seen it, is that they revealed that vriska is a trans woman?
Is there anything in the D&D rules that says I can't play a monk as an affable tonsured Franciscan who is fond of Vespers, his herb garden, and solving crimes around the city
I've been watching Babylon 5 (along with @merrittk.com) and it's striking how almost every episode is criticizing a) fascism, b) xenophobia/racism, c) homophobia, d) theocratic conservatism. @straczynski.bsky.social wrote that shit woker than The Pitt S2. No way an exec would greenlight it today.
Ben Collins@bencollins.bsky.social · 3mo agoKnow what TV show actually wouldn’t get made today? The Twilight Zone. Half of these fuckin’ episodes are about fascism.
"death of the audience" is genuinely unironically good advice for anyone who wants to make anything
nige 'dear ratboy'@niall.codes · 3mo agoThat's enough Death of the Author. It's time for Death of the Audience. Start running fools
Liza Minnelli is an ally. That’s not up for debate, I think most LGBTQIA+ people who are aware of her and her work would agree, and there’s a bit in her autobiography that really cements what it is to be an ally where she apologises for making a homophobic joke in the 70s
i created this meme like 4 years ago on twitter and it went super viral and i think i got like 20 death threats. that's how you know i was cooking with this one
