A large block of sentient tofu
Steam community: “Can we play as a male character?”
Me (indie dev in this economy):
“Best I can do is sentient tofu.”

I became Senior VP at a multi-million dollar company at age 26. My salary was $600k. This was in 2018. How did I do it? Blacked out lines CEO (my dad) promoted me to SVP. There are no gimmicks. There are no shortcuts.
This is blackout poetry to me
The aesthetics of the 3.5" floppy are immaculate.
It's peak consumer electronics design from the company that brought you the Walkman a few years before!
I could write a book on the design of just this floppy, and how it's so much better than the 5¼"/8" floppies that came.
From the late Jesse Hamm. My personal mantra for the past decade.
Great chance to post my all-time favorite headline
A screenshot of a door drawn in magenta against a dark background. A dim view of a hallway can be seen through a tall window beside it. A crudely shaped, light purple dialogue box at the bottom reads in a rounded sans-serif font: "Have you ever gone home after being away for a long time?".
'Sup y'all! We've got something to show to a limited few of you. How we're describing it for the moment is: a "pain-of-the-past" point & click mystery with a verb-based interface. Does that sound interesting to you? Do you want an early say on the direction of the project? If so, then drop us a dm!
Ireland has 4 competitors at the Winter Olympics, all in skiing. which is awesome because Ireland has no snow or mountains. our main winter sports are drinking, singing Fairytale of New York & spreading respiratory illnesses.
unfortunately we do not seem to have a ton of other alternatives available. current funding sources include:
- directly on stock market
- company who gives you money is on stock market
- midsize deal with indie publisher (you do not have this)
- pay your 5 contractors in gum. you also receive gum
this is what really killed the place even before the nazis fully took over
the Venn diagram of “people willing to pay for Twitter so their replies are boosted” and “people capable of making funny comments” is just two completely separate circles side by side
Aw, Microsoft wants to "rebuild trust" in Windows! Like the comic, with fhe dog and the ball!
"No reverse any of our actions which actively destroyed it! Only give back trust"
"Our standing rule is: If one of us brings up using GenAI in any of our work, then it's safe to assume we've been assimilated by _The Thing_ and should be burned alive by Kurt Russell." -Consultant (Game Design), Washington State
Choice quote from GDC's state of the industry report:
Some of the mists in our minds are never going to dissipate. Some bits of us are always going to be stuck in November twilight. We walk and jangle the dozens of bottles of pickled time.
"I saw the most awful thing on twitter/X and-"
no. No thank you. That's fine.
I've already walked away from shitty Omelas.
to young people: you may at some point have heard about the Y2K problem. some people may have told you it wasn't a big deal
i need you to understand the only reason it wasn't a big deal was that everyone spent loads of time fixing code before it could become a problem, which is why it never did

Castle of the Crystal, the jagged, obsidian-like fortress that serves as the seat of power for the Skeksis.

For no reason.
Spiderman meme. "I support a full, trans-inclusive ban on conversion practices." "It could criminalise mainstream, historic Christian teaching on marriage and sexual ethics, and make sharing the Gospel with some people illegal." "I already said I support it, Harry. You don't need to sell it to me."

Manchester, 31 Dec 2015. Chaos in the streets.
Happy tenth anniversary to photographer Joel Goodman’s classic image which by rights should be hanging in the Louvre.
it couldn’t be more simple. making things is fun. to hand over the joy of the process of creation to AI is to submit fully to the logic of capital. i am hilariously unproductive and un-prolific, but i enjoy making things, and people enjoy the things i make. i would not trade this for anything.
This June 2000 preview of Timesplitters on the website PlayStation 2 Central expresses some doubts about that second analog stick on the DualShock 2 controller
This also applies to cartoons and comics and basically everything. It doesn’t matter if you have a concept of something already out there. If you love it, do it. Your work will have your unique mark on it by virtue of being made by YOU. (Also two cakes.)
