Gonna be at the Full Indie Summit tonight with the Pirouette Princess demo! It's got a lot of little updates since the last time we brought it there and reminder, we got 10 days left on the Kickstarter! www.kickstarter.com/projects/fri... #indiedev #gamedev

Also he built the trophy holding claw thing for the new Battlebots seasons which is 110% rad.

oh my god linux becomes instantly so much more usable once you figure out how to make symlinks. i can finally fucking reclaim some primary drive space

it is absolutely absurd that flatpak has been around for over a decade and still doesn't have a GUI for installing individual applications to a secondary drive

no one has ever complained about ocarina of time replacing a simple warp menu with a cool music minigame so why has nothing else copied that

does he know what a job is

To a degree, I do think there's too much inertia to stop the bleeding in the short term for many reasons. Historically, what's protected localizers best is when our work is visible, recognized, and tangibly affects a game's success. When company cultures embrace our work, that's when we're safest. 🧵

What can we do? just accept the slop?

LOL right like a dev making a bunch of shitpost achievements under duress and people like "oh, clearly this is something that needs to be fixed". If someone did that to one of my games I'd be SO fucking mad

Undertale, a game that is not retro and already has achievements, getting an RA set actually got me thinking maybe it wasn't something that ever should've existed. At some point it gets to playing a game just to have numbers to show off.

don't let any fucking linux people tell you this OS is suitable for desktop use if you rely on your computer to function for any critical tasks

we need to be meaner to fanmade remakes/remasters

one of the capitalists most pernicious lies is that its all about making money its less than half about making money. its mostly about complete global political domination and oppression of everyone else they will burn potential billions rather than let anyone else have a scrap, or build anything

Barbie made 1.4 BILLION dollars .

iteration, remixing and modding are probably the default creative mode for most people, and where most great work is made even. but the myth of the creative genius is hard to shake off and entrenched by capitalism

it's interesting how basically all pre-copyright classic literature got oceans of 'fanwork' in the form of fake sequels, copies with added commentary, heavily altered and edited copies (which sometimes become more popular eg three kingdoms) and imitations

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

This is unlike anything we've seen before in all our years of handheld reviewing! #ModRetro #GameBoy

i think part of the problem with how i approach talking about games is that i operate under the assumption that having velcro under your computer desk so your flight pedals don't slide around is a shared, common experience

Sneak peak at a new bunker element. This is going to be a bunker subset. Constituting drainage and sewer systems. Just one module of many. 90% of level geometry made with realtime CSG. Goes to show why this tool needs to survive, I feel like. #gamedev #indiegames

American cartoon violence censorship is actually hilarious once you get used to how absurd it is. Yeah we're showing a guy ripping his enemies to shreds but it's fine because they're robots. We're absolutely forbidden from showing as much as a small cut on a human but the robot gore is fair play

Apple charges people ~20% more than the Patreon list price and they keep the difference for themselves. They also hold the proceeds of iOS app sales for 75 days, making it impossible for creators to accurately predict earnings. They basically inserted themselves in order to rip *more* people off

Part Time Yeen@parttimeyeen.bsky.social · 6mo ago

Any of you using the ios version of Patreon to support me, switch to the browser version instead, cuz the apple fees have actually taken over 3000 usd from me in the course of a year

i know people aren't gaming history literate but it still bugs me that so many people are getting *that* hung up on that one attack on that deltarune chapter 5 boss fight. like have any of you played a single bomberman game in your lives, that attack was easy

Hey, musicians, If you have a place you actually SELL, not stream, your work: Quote this and link that shit.

I am begging you if you make music online, please let me Buy It. Let me Pay You for downloadable music files. Please exist somewhere other than music streaming services

building. construction complete. new construction options. building. construction complete. training...

thinking about all the jobs computers must have displaced that none of us remember because all the people old enough to are old now and probably resent computers

one of the universal truths of online multiplayer games is that if you're having a great time with your friends some youtuber will make a video about why they think the game sucks and you should quit having fun

don't buy palmer luckey's stupid fucking N64 clone, just get a real one and a summercart64 or a MiSTER
