Yay. $100k is bankruptcy for pretty much everyone. But it’s ok cos they made steam $30k before they folded.

Definitely one of my top 10 moments in all gaming history.

RESULT: The AP calls it, that there will be a runoff between Democrat Shawn Harris and Republican Clayton Fuller in April (meaning they’ll take the top 2 spots and neither will get 50%).

This is the reddest district in Georgia, though Dems are at least going to get a big overperformance today.

So first of all, the DOJ's standards are....extremely fallen, I cannot imagine this happening much earlier in time.

Second, the word "intentionally" has very specific meaning and this lawyer thirty years into practice knows what it means, and the judge is being very clear about that.

Welp. Today in embarrassing DOJ hearings ...

Happy Mario day!

Yeah, I have a standard 3-way intersection and a couple of elevated platforms I use for that.

Once you get the hovering jetpack it makes it SOOOO much easier to just run long power lines from the air and fly along them.

this nonsense is right up there with "with the power of NFTs you can use a sword in a different game"

it's just such a fundamental misunderstanding of the goddamn medium

Yeah, it is hard to come back to one of these games with a sprawling half-built factory. Lately I've just been putting on an episode of @worldsbeyondnumber.bsky.social or something and just chill out extending my rail network.

Power management is definitely a challenge, just got nuclear.

Somewhere along the way my Satisfactory campaign just turned into a train rail network construction game. I guess I should actually make the stuff I’m supposed to.

Oregon was the first state to have universal vote by mail which was supported by Democrats and Republicans. The Constitution is clear: determining time, place and manner of elections is up to the states.

The guy who voices Master Chief from the video game "Halo," who was featured in a White House meme video showing missiles blowing people up in Iran, calls it "disgusting and juvenile war porn" wapo.st/3NhffGm

I'd like to announce I have a new(ish) Podcast! It's called GameDev Unsung Heroes, and it's basically interviewing all the names in games you don't know about what they do, their career path, a few stories along the way. All free.

Here's the link gamedevunsungheroes.com

I could use re-posting :)

I'm Sam (she/her). I've been a Producer for just over 8 years and I've shipped 2 games. I enjoy mint tea, TTRPGs, and teaching my son how F1 qualifying works.

Yeah, I feel tied into the ecosystem because of all the apps I rely on but they are trying really hard to make sure my next phone is an Android.

It’s that time of the year again! This is #WhatAGameDevLooksLike 🫶

I’m Tarja from northern Finland, not at GDC or any other in-person event due to my disabilities. You can catch me online doing games industry bizdev, production, accessibility things & community nurturing. Don’t be a stranger! ✨

Ugh, that sucks :(

remember when the IRS put out a a free online tax filing system where you could just do your taxes through the IRS and it was actually well made and was pretty well recieved and then the tax filing industry and Republicans killed it and now you have to use TurboTax again

I still always feel like one of those bananas conspiracy theorists when I try to explain to people how you can draw a direct line from a woman making some YouTube videos about feminism in video games all the way to the downfall of the American Empire.

Me: [driving, trying to pick up wife and friends after they did charity half marathon] Wait how am I supposed to get over there

Wayz: cross this street

Me: it’s eight lanes, no stops, and it’s sheer gridlock for blocks

Wayz: cross it bitch

Me: it’s impossible to…

Wayz: DRIVE ACROSS IT

It’s too easy to go to war

I’m beginning to think this movie about animated cartoon thieves is not completely accurate about orbital launch mechanics.

But like, it is trying to way way harder than it has any reason to.

I've been running gdcparties.com for a few years now. Some shitty company BlueberryAI decided they'd just take all the source code for the work I've done and reskin it, advertising it as their own. Jokes on them...it was still linked to my events spreadsheet, and now their website looks like this 😉

Yep - the gameplay and the music was just mindblowing to me at the time, and I still love that sense of exploration + action + vibe in games I play today.

Soundtrack still holds up super well today too

Looking back at that "real" 9 games I just posted, damn, what kind of a weird freaky kid was I, to love a game about nuclear energy regulation while still in elementary school?

I would have put Shandalar, I think, but couldn't find it.

A lot of guesswork on string subsets!
