Bloodborne is my favourite game. It is a game where you are a vampire who fights warewolves and it was cthulhu all along and you can fight cthulhu who is your dad after you fight your other dad but only if you eat umbilical cords.

Angels Fall First, the plucky after hours-developed sci-fi battle game, has finally left Early Access. From its inception as a Homeworld 2 and UT 2004 mod to a full frisson of starship combat and ground-pounding, great to see it hit the big 1.0. More info: store.steampowered.com/app/367270/A...

"Residents in the England constituency of Clacton have voiced their frustration after it was announced that an unserious, irritating attention-seeking cosplayer would contest the upcoming byelection. Count Binface has also announced his intention to run."

I am actually curious if every single person in every position of power everywhere globally has undergone some manner of psychosis in the past couple of years that forces them to make the most boneheaded decisions possible.

Rec Room was fantastic. Full of charm, and closer to the idea of a metaverse than any of the billion dollar big corp failures. Care went into it. I'm very sorry to see it go.

There's basically no excuse for this. We're five years past the original Haunted PS1 Demo Disc. We not only know what PS1 graphics are, but there's a whole active game dev movement dedicated to preserving and experimenting with it.

sorry everyone but "looks like a PS1 game" is now banned vocabulary until further notice

This looks very cool. I loved the presentation of CBR+PNK, and am looking forward to seeing how they handle this.

One of the greatest thing at Blackwork con was when a gang of kids 12-14y from a local youth center came with their pedagogue to give me a copy of the MÖRK BORG adventure they worked on together. Nervous and proud, they each signed my copy and did a short interview. The next generation, man.

🧵 Democracy feels like it's in a rough state at the moment across the globe, and we hear various explanations, like polarisation, extremism, disinformation, and loss of trust. But what if those explanations are mainly symptoms and we've been trying to treat them rather than the underlying causes?

With regards to that last repost, reviews can mean a lot to smaller developers, so I'm gonna put out a little call to action. Everyone following me? DO THIS NOW! I'm asking for replies so more folks pick this up, and continue it. Please take this graphic and ask your followers to do the same!

What's something that experts/practitioners in your field universally agree upon, but that remains a "hot take" among the general public?

Midway through Cultic Chapter 2 and it's blowing me away how good it is. Going pretty heavy with the background storytelling too; a certain farmhouse managed to affect me far more than I expected. Bravo, @jasozzgames.bsky.social , I forgive you for the bits where you open doors into shotgunners.
