Everyone has already fallen in love with the bizarro charms of Biddy Blas saying "scrib dooooooon," but "ding dong bookee, ding dooooooong" is an underrated vocal stim that has entered my brain this week

I made a new video game that is too fun to be released to the public. No you can’t play it, but if you invest enough money in my company and build me a data center, maybe I’ll show you an unfinished demo of a different game that actually isn’t really that original or fun either.
The New York Times@nytimes.com · 6mo agoAnthropic, the artificial intelligence company that recently fought the Pentagon over the use of its technology, has built a new A.I. model that it claims is too powerful to be released to the public.
Got one of those GBA SP style handhelds this weekend and when I learned it wasn’t too hard to port Godot games to it, I knew I had to try and put Upstream on it. It runs at >1 fps and has tons of visual glitches so not playable but the fact that it boots at all is so cool.
Imagine being on the other side of the moon only to hear a Teams ping and having to figure out if you should be using Teams or New Teams

Okay. An important moment for us, if you’ll indulge me with a repost. It’s time to start the very first whisper of noise about our next game. It’s a mailing list! But it’s a mailing list that I’m hoping will be a bit different than what you’re used to. mailchi.mp/bithellgames...

What if we made a #low-poly, #pixelart, #roguelike, #rhythm, #fps about venturing into an abandoned and walled off internet that has been overrun by AI with the goal of killing the AI that polluted and destroyed the internet? Could be cool. #indiegame #gamedev #godot

I concur with everyone saying that Marathon “has the juice”. I would add that said juice is in fact blue in color. It’s my runner’s blood. I am dying a lot.
I've been running gdcparties.com for a few years now. Some shitty company BlueberryAI decided they'd just take all the source code for the work I've done and reskin it, advertising it as their own. Jokes on them...it was still linked to my events spreadsheet, and now their website looks like this 😉

Steam Replay is out and the data on mine is massively skewed lmao because of time spent developing my own game. Over 1700 of those sessions are just from me launching Upstream, its demo, or its playtest.
If you have never seen another planet in our solar system from a telescope, even a smaller/cheaper one, I highly recommend it. Tonight I had just enough time to set up mine on the roof of my building to look at Jupiter + Saturn for 30 minutes before the clouds arrived. It’s truly magical. #astronomy
