These French driver's test questions are bogus.

"Should you go the nearest emergency shelter?"

Duh, yes?

"NO BECAUSE IF THERE'S A FIRE OVER THERE YOU COULD DIE HAHAHAHAHAHA QUESTION FAILED JACKASS!!"

Legit expecting me to make up imaginary scenarios. Like mfer, who's running into a fire??

Oh dang, we talkin' gob?!

had a lot of fun making this crunchy grainy piece for 5 MILLION WORLDS by @chrisair.itch.io

@scarius.bsky.social and I were chatting so much for this week's Ansible Uplink that I made a Tangential Orbit cut of our episode for patrons that runs an hour longer full of dumb stories and game chatter.

I dunno about "favorite," but I still think about Bug (2006) often, and I haven't seen it since I did the screening twenty years ago.

Even if the environmental issues, labor issues, and frequent inaccuracy/hallucinations of genAI were solved, it would still be bad because according to several studies now it literally gives you brain damage.

DYING HARD; about this KS

@magnum-galaxy-games.itch.io new KS is live and already doing numbers. Congrats!

@golden-achiever.bsky.social on the layout
I also assisted in the 3D mockup renders for the campaign + a few illustration things soon

Check it out!

True, good dungeon design. But pen & paper cannot make you, the player, feel the escalating traversal abilities in gameplay like video games. That instant feedback and visual key recognition//easier backtracking loop isn't as intrinsically easy to pull off with a book.

I have strong opinions about this. In short, no.

Metroidvania is part megadungeon, part escalating traversal mechanics. You can't replicate the gamefeel experience of improving platforming abilities as keys to unlock new areas in a pen and paper ttrpg.

But you could do fun variations on the theme.

Wow! In one week! Sometimes La Poste actually works out, hahaha

I remember it being surprising how well it evoked that affect when it came out

I'm looking for recommendations for custom playing card manufacturers 🗣️

I’m doing the graphic design for this. I’m proud of what me and the team has achieved so far, it’s a good good book!

Y'all, this book is the Platonic ideal of a Mothership setting+adventure book, check it out

Get out the blocks, let's go explore some ruins for our planes!

CAIN SUN - a Mothership scenario Play as the parasite, not the human - fight for control or burn beneath a dying sun.

🚨 Only 48 hours left to back my next #mothershipRPG module, CAIN SUN. We've unlocked all of our stretch goals and this is the last chance to pick up bundles of my other modules at discount prices (or watch my stupid animation🎥).

Play the alien, not the crew! 🪱✅👨‍🚀❌

My day's labor in the editing mines, complete. Beautiful @discodan.bsky.social & @streetsurgery.bsky.social, innit?

Y'sir, Mr. Matrixo, sir

The stupidest fucking photoshop you've ever seen. It's a mine, a modern mine, with two dudes operating a giant drill into some coal, and my dumb cartoon face is shopped onto one head, and ten games are poorly bashed into the coal wall, among the detritus, etc. Milk Bar, Dreadnauts, 5MW CIN Sector, Twisting Unseen, Flatline on the Blocks, Sunlit Path, Paramour, Rites of Renewal, and Drink from the Hippocrene.
