Just a little reminder to everyone: Algorithms are useless. It's very hard to find cool stuff without being shown it by someone else. So if you find something cool - a band, a game, a video essay or anything else - share it and tell people about it. And thanks to anyone who does! You're cool!
Unfortunately this seems to me like another example of a real animal, slopped by AI 😡🦑 Check these source images from @mbarinews.bsky.social who actually observed it. No frontal "mouth" (just a fold between arms further down at most), no suckers visible when on the bottom, eyes less forward

Dinosaur game! I'm putting it on hold for now, but I had a lot of fun animating all these guys.
Itch has decided not to index my game for some reason, so the only way anyone can find it right now is through bluesky. Would really appreciate it if you could check it out!

Fuck off. If anything is "millennial", it's those cool transparent colors our iMacs, Gameboys, and Tamagotchis came in. No fucking millennial likes the house flipper grey. Call it a millennial paint job when I can see through the exterior of a car because it's Glacier Purple like my GBA.
Jack Saint@lackingsaint.bsky.social · 3w agoNo fuck off we're not calling this "Millennial grey" this shit was dictated completely by boomer retiree house flippers we absolutely had NO say in this
![Millennial grey
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A kitchen with beige grey floors, drab walls, brushed steel appliances, and grey granite countertops.
Grey floors and furnishings are said to appeal to Millennial tastes.
Millennial grey refers to a desaturated colour scheme that is said to appeal to the interior design sensibilities of the Millennial Generation in the early 21st century.[1] Cultural historian Kassia St. Clair attributed its widespread adoption to a desire among Millennials for "a flexible, sensible choice that will last years, hide any stains, and can be adapted to different schemes."[1] Some have diagnosed Millennial grey as a reaction to the warm hues of the late 20th century.[2]
Millennial grey is polarising, particularly when used with imitation-wood-texture sheet vinyl flooring, which many describe as depressing, soulless, or corporate.[3][4] Although attributed to Millennials, the grey colour scheme is often chosen by house flippers, vacation rental owners, or other people who do not actually live in the greyed properties.[3] Thus, the occupant of the property—Millennial or not—has little say in its colour scheme, particularly when deployed for fixtures such as flooring.[4] The greying may have been driven, in part, by a desire to prepare properties for sale in a manner thought to be least offensive to the average buyer.[5] Given the housing crises gripping many countries in the early to mid-21st century, buyers and renters may feel they have no choice but to accept a property decked in Millennial grey.[4]
To the extent that Millennial grey is said to be enjoyed by Millennials, it is also said to be loathed by Generation Z.[1][2]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:atdbmignbrjbjgj2ba4axnwl/bafkreidgcz72oqo4dwsqlv2ovhewwekbfxdo7ydluyrffhlijqkg2546gy)

You know what it's time for? It's time for me to wreck my notifications all day by reminding everyone about these starter packs I made for game devs who don't use generative AI in ANY capacity. There are three: go.bsky.app/6DRdowf go.bsky.app/AS5R4p7 go.bsky.app/7K7JDCJ

About video games, I think if you're putting things into genre brackets you're already lost. "This game doesn't know what kind of game it wants to be," "This game is a failure of the genre," "There are too many games in the genre," etc. Listen, genre is defined by the popular games and their copies.
apropos of nothing, here's an old blog post i did about piracy and when/whether it's ok and things like that when the people who make the games aren't even getting to keep their jobs, far less profit from a game's success, pirate those suckaz tbh www.joewintergreen.com/one-time-a-g...
I just LOVE to see it. More indie games media outlets. Yes, it's tough out there. Yes, it sucks. Yes, too few resources. But I love love love that we (may I say we?) don't give up. Welcome to the block!

Now, bluesky, I have a quick favor to ask: If you or someone you know owns a Gameboy Flashcart, could you by chance get a photo or video of this game running on real hardware? I'd love to see that in action!
