Marcus Aurelius was dropping some woke bars in the second century.

People arguing digital buttons are flat improvements for accessibility are really under-valuing haptic feedback imo. Don’t get me wrong, modular inputs are great and we need more of them. But the haptic layer of design is a huge vector for accessibility that digital inputs complicate.

I've got it on good authority that after eliminating physical discs and buttons for the PS6, the PS7 will just be you buying a license to imagine playing the game

Hey pals, one of my contracts wraps up in September, so I'm looking for new writing, narrative design, and creative direction contracts, short or longer term. Remote, most timezones except Australia. Preferably USA (I'm a night owl!). Flexible on days per week. Reach out! 💜 hannahnicklin.com

We need some help doing technical writing/editing for Lancer Tactics' rules text! Inline glossary tagging, styling, & adapting wording when it doesn't make sense in a video game context. ~40 hours of contract work staring at google sheets; job posting is here: lancertactics.com/hiring-techn...

Wow the karaoke scene in Perfect Tides: Station to Station is inspired. Definitely one of my favorite moments in a game all year. If you’re a creative type and you’re into narrative games, this game was made for you. Please, please play it!

Idk what’s up with my boomer family members, but they all seem to want to eat dinner at, like, 10pm. Both sides of my family are like this. Babes, it’s my bed time. What are we doing?

If you’re my friend you and 5 others now have a weekend shaped target on your back.

SEVEN-PART PACT, my fantastical ornate TTRPG about powerful wizards, asymmetrical board games, and the pressures of masculinity is now launching on kickstarter! www.kickstarter.com/projects/sjg...

Obsidian lost many excellent developers and wonderful people today. If you see them on your feed, please share their posts and celebrate their work.

I just finished Void Stranger by @system-erasure.bsky.social, and wow. This has firmly become one of my favorite games of all time. Ya’ll managed to make something so earnest, beautiful, and deeply compelling from start to finish 🖤 truly an amazing experience!

We hare at [HUGE VIDEO GAME CORPORATION] are proud to announce that we are rebooting [FRANCHISE]. We used generative AI in its concept art phase but also a dozen employees died of crunch and a thousand more will be laid off after launch and also it won't even be good. That'll be $70.

As a long-time fan of Dark Souls fandom, I’m delighted to report that possibly the most influential content creator in that space is posting again. EpicNameBro on YouTube just uploaded a Demon’s Souls Remake let’s play, and if you’re a Souls fan or game scholar into the series this is a must-watch.

Obsession is basically everything I want in a horror movie. It was perfectly scary. The pacing was fine-tuned to keep me from ever getting too overwhelmed. It would calm me down in one moment and bring in a bit of levity, just to make the next moment even more upsetting. Super good!

Just got my beautiful copy of The Scholar’s Codex from @tuneandfairweather.bsky.social. Congrats to the contributors and editing team for pulling this off! From what I’ve read so far, it’s very compelling. I love seeing academic works meld with and celebrate fan culture like this.

Congrats on the launch Coin Drop team! Really enjoying my time so far with The Remake of the End of the Greatest RPG of All Time. Love to see another game come out of the UC Davis game dev community 🤟

@amazefest.bsky.social was extremely dope as always 🫶 Such an honor to showcase our game and be nominated. And to gather the team for the first time since launch!! Thanks to everyone who came to our talk and who I met along the way ❤️ Now I wanna make more videogams (and sleep) 🦩🍉🎉

@apthomson.bsky.social While chatting with @qdork.bsky.social at AMAZE, I asked if u were there. She said no. I said that was a bummer bc I wanted to tell you Titanium Court’s music goes thru my head all day and I’m not tired of it. She told me to take a pic w her and post this to get ur attention 👋

Congrats to the coalescent team! It was so awesome getting to share a stage with so many innovative, boundary-pushing art games in the Digital Moment category at AMAZE 2026. Very well-deserved 👏🎉

A MAZE.@amazefest.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Congrats to the winner of the Digital Moment Award 🌴🦩:  Hanwen Xu & Hatim Benhsain with coalescent || tidal rapture 🏆 This game goes beyond normative depictions of intimacy and doesn't shy away from being meaningfully sensuous, mysterious, complex, and primal.  #amaze 2026

The Remake of the End of the Greatest RPG of All Time has OFFICIALLY gone Gold! I can't wait for you all to get to play May 28th! Also: we've been nominated for the "Innovative Outlaw" award at Bitsummit this year!

Super happy to be in Berlin for @amazefest.bsky.social 🦩 It’s super gratifying to finally be back with my dev team in-person after so much time apart. Really looking forward to the next few days of games and brilliant interactive art :) here are some pics of the morning pre-show setup! 👾🎮🕹️

It’s AMAZE week!! 🦩 If you’re interested in personal/ emotional games, @ryancwright.bsky.social and I will talk about designing As Long As You’re Here around a feeling and how that guided every decision. We’re also in the exhibition as ALAYH is nominated at the awards on Friday! Come talk to us! 🙌

My last post about Slay the Spire 2 was wrong. Or I’m a hypocrite, whichever. I finally ascended with the Doom build I’ve always wanted and I now HAVE to stop playing this so I can write my dissertation. Really looking forward to returning for 1.0 one day!

Yep. In fact, the real failing of students was when we stopped requiring them to regularly search a library catalogue for their reading and instead produced lists with hyperlinks that students simply had to click. As soon as they have to go off list, they’re lost.

Lauren Fraser@walkyouhome.bsky.social · 5mo ago

Controversial but - students *perceive* they have been failed when what has happened is they have failed to understand information retrieval is a skill requiring effort. I don't believe a zero friction experience is realistic or desirable in learning, actually.

Not to complain about having more of a good thing, but I can’t help but be a little disappointed with Slay the Spire 2. I like the new characters and the new cards, but I don’t feel like it’s different enough from the first game for me to put as many hours into it as I did the first.

When you stare into the blackboxed void of LLMs and diffusion models, the void stares back…. with “AI porn face.”

Ah yes, just what the world needed An "AI porn face" filter built into all my games! 😀🔫
