This might look like an unreasonable amount of chilli seeds to put on a parmesan crisp, but personally I appreciate a rate limiter on how fast I would otherwise eat what is ultimately a box of fried cheese.

"We call these boomer shooters." "Right, cos of all the booming." 'Oh, no that's not why." "Then why?" (Deep breath) "So in the aftermath of the second world war..."

HI, I have a sick little cat right now, and vet bills have run me out of my savings. My friend Alex has set up a gofundme for me. I would be super grateful for anything y'all can throw over without making things hard for yourselves. www.gofundme.com/f/emergency-...

If Michaelangelo had my cats, at least one chapel would have had a radically different paint job.

The main thing I've learned from playing with my cats is they would have fucking loved the convoy ambushes in Far Cry 2.

The humble bar graph taking a bold step into 3D here, while never losing sight of its passion: clearly showing which numbers are bigger.

I had never imagined Merchant Ivory films was just named after two guys called Merchant and Ivory. It was olden times! I think I just assumed they were killing a few endangered animals between takes as a side gig.

Git still hiring poets to write error messages.

More videogame bosses should look at your cursor like, what the fuck is that. What are you doing with it.

Sick this week, so I finally started F1 Drive to Survive. It's good but there are a lot of smug young men in it and so far only one of them has been put in the bin.

The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck v0.1: When you try to walk into a brick wall, your way is now referred to as being blocked by some brick, not a brick.

My favourite fact in ages, via @lucyjames.games on the Besties: Widow's Bay (which is great btw) was created by the overdressed Babadook from this historic tweet.

Deadloch season 2 was great again - truly Australia's answer to The Thick Of It in the swearing Olympics. As before, the mystery is juicier and better told than you expect from a comedy. And it has a knack for making fun of eccentricities without feeling unkind.

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

The 2 minutes and 5 seconds from the moment @memoriamatters.bsky.social spies an oddly tall horse in @manbearcar.bsky.social's Horsey Game are the hardest I've laughed in weeks. www.youtube.com/live/4Wr8J4S... .

I think this April fools was amiably aimed at anyone who's over-attributed our games to me alone, but God it's so deadpan even I start to worry if I was serious at points.

One of my favorites is now 10 years old! @pentadact.com in addition to doing a very obvious and silly jape, put "Untrue" as the first word in his video title! Thank you for setting a wonderful standard. youtu.be/k_jG2bbNpsA

I can't speak to their overall cultural impact, but I do think if Dickens had come up with "Hi it's me you're all in danger" before Charli XCX, A Tale of Two Cities would have opened very differently.

Ominous seating arrangements.

Discovery: cats can toggle their legs.

We have a Discord now! It's been lovely so far. Today in the Heat Signature channel, someone figured out how to do a Hijack mission (take out all crew and deliver the empty ship) without breaking their Ghost Vow (never be seen or harm anyone) and we were all like what. discord.com/invite/3M8pf...

Good morning! I wrote a book! @flantz.bsky.social called it “the definitive history of procedural generation in video games” which is just about the best thing that can happen to a book. Tell your friends, enemies and book-loving acquaintances!

I've written a book! Next Level: Making Games That Make Themselves is the story of procedural generation - the tech behind games like Minecraft and Dwarf Fortress. It's about how it works, the games that use it, and the art and magic behind it. Out May 7th, in bookshops: linktr.ee/next_level 🎲🔮

I'm having a lovely time coding our next game in Godot, so I did a little devlog about some of the coolest things I've discovered, and some of the systems I've built so far that I'm excited about. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mj56... .
