I tried scaring off this trash bear this morning on 2nd Street in Juneau, and so did a lot of other people, but it wouldn’t be deterred. Not a good sign for its future. #Alaska

What’s Going On- Stories from the game development industry: Many developers believe it is not possible to get funding in 2026 without pitching a “sure thing” to investors. Do you feel this way? Are you looking to play more games that are “risky”? #IndieGameDev #GameDev #IndieGames #GamingNews

A risk-averse video game industry is failing marginalised devs

Nazih Fares has been inundated with praise when pitching 'spicy' card battler The Arab League of Misfits, so why has funding yet to materialize?

The most fucked up AI generated guitar I've ever seen. Like, idk guy looks fine, but wow couldn't get one picture of a guitar? Or at least get one that's got the right number of necks??

Maria's birthday celebration is chilling in a lake, pretty cool imo

Through a quirk of scheduling I've seen The Odyssey twice this week (1 imax, one normal) and I can say it's a good movie that I enjoyed twice. I also don't think the imax version was experientially any different from the non-imax version.

There's one of those "What's your weirdest accomplishment" posts that I've had open for a while now contemplating sharing, but I can't figure out how to say "I did something in highschool that is still talked about by teachers today, also I shouldn't really say what it is" in an interesting way.

Pixels and 3D renders and screenshots - Oh my!

@cakeneq.com's current project is Qumaq, a survival-horror-action game being made in collaboration with YK Delta writer Don Rearden. Qumaq follows the survivors of a shipwreck as they battle strange creatures, the environment, starvation on a forgotten island in the Bering Sea. #GameDev #IndieGames

They have been hard at work on Qumaq for over a year and featured it most recently at the 2025 AK Dev Expo. You can follow progress updates on Qumaq through CakeNeq’s official socials: www.facebook.com/cakeneq www.instagram.com/cakeneq/ @cakeneq.com or their Website www.cakeneq.com

I had the great joy of playing Qumaq this weekend for the first time where a whole sequence actually clicked. And then the crushing defeat of the immediate next sequence completely not working in any way.

No more thick burgers yea? Can we be done with thick-ass burgers?

It's non-binary day? Wishing all my non-binary pals have a good day today

another season of #FROM is over and I'm again very sad I've gotta wait a year before I can see the next season.

Anyone need 10lbs of Utility Knives? If we work together we can flip these for a modest profit.

OK folks we can chill on calling everything Slop for a little bit right? Like- I get it- applies to a lot of things, but not EVERY thing you dislike is slop right? Not saying to retire it, just take it down like 15%

Man the FROM Season 4 finale is setup to do some wild shit. This might be the best season yet. Feels like they've really mastered giving characters/events time to breathe while not feeling like everyone is waiting around for the end of the season (S2).

I'm replaying Dark Souls with Maria and I keep doing a hilarious joke where I talk up the next boss we'll fight and I get really nervous about how much it's going to take to kill it. Then I cross the fog gate and roll the chump in one try with 3/4 of my health still intact.

I've been working with the Alaska Developer Alliance to rebrand their subgroup The Alaska Game Developer (AGD) group. I drew up a mascot which we decided to name Nib. I'll be managing their social media going forward with more information about game developers. #gaming #indiegame #gamedev #alaska

do you guys see the barbaric shit we're dealing with here
