I recently listened to the Aftermath podcast with Super Eyepatch Wolf talking about fake games like Vermis. It's one of those episodes where you wind up with a long list of fascinating things to follow-up on by the end. You'd probably like it! aftermath.site/podcasts/aft...
as a jrpg fan, my primary interests in video games are raising and lowering sewer gates, such as to manipulate the water level
Oh, I'm excited to check this out; I loved this game when I was a kid!
I've long had an idea for a nonprofit called "Your Tax Dollars At Work" and it's only job would be to build narrative power for taxes by showing where that money goes and how it helps regular people.
We love to talk about government waste, but gov't is one of the most efficient money-users around!

I made Moss Moss, a #pico8 game about mossing the world and finding secrets. Hope you enjoy ♥

gee I wonder
Your home feels cozier when you can hear rain pelting your windows.
Thinking about game idles. In my game Iconoclasts, once I deemed the main character had "seen enough stuff" she idles less bouncy. I'm so cool.
what the hell did I just read
I love that feeling when you start out and look in your inventory to find a torn cloak, a busted radio, a gun made out of a tin can and a rusty air compressor, and an expired ration. If I'm ever a millionaire I'll throw my money into the sea so I can start fresh with gray-tier loot.
According to a 2010 ruling by the Supreme Court, jokes are people
I held them in every light. I turned them in every attitude. I surveyed their characteristics. I dwelt upon their peculiarities. I pondered upon their conformation. I shuddered as I assigned to them in imagination a sensitive and sentient power, a capability of moral expression.
Not a speck on their surface—not a shade on their enamel—not an indenture in their edges—but what that period of her smile had sufficed to brand in upon my memory. In the multiplied objects of the external world I had no thoughts but for the teeth. For these I longed with a phrenzied desire.
I saw them now even more unequivocally than I beheld them then. The teeth!—the teeth!—they were here, and there, and everywhere, and visibly and palpably before me; long, narrow, and excessively white, with the pale lips writhing about them, as in the very moment of their first terrible development.
26 years ago, Resident Evil's Raccoon City was obliterated by a US bomb. Countless people were vaporized in a flash of white light. Resident Evil Requiem finally reckons with the aftermath of a "cool moment" in a mournful game full of real atomic anxiety. My review. www.polygon.com/resident-evi...
This was on for me. I would never have turned this on myself, so I'm having a disconnect with people reporting that it's off by default.
There's a message saying that 503 MB were cleared this morning, but my recycle bin is empty. I'll never know what I lost.
all the kinds of modern Indie Games:
-"roguelike" (slot machine)
-feelings
-unlock/tech tree simulator
-"god we hope northernlion plays this"
-crunchy first person shooter
-morrowind built by a single lunatic
To Mike's sage words I'll add what's increasingly clear:
Many suits also believe that an experience where anything you ask for magically appears on a screen is a new kind of game. But that's a completely different (and inverted) mode of entertainment, with another audience of unknown size.
This style of light doesn't really appear in animation anymore. You know it when you see it -- it's bright, hot and almost dangerous.
Our new issue explores the tricks behind it, and how one artist has revived the look for the digital age: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/dangerous-...

It's grotesque how you've painted those people as merrily choosing to live their burnout lifestyle when in reality everyone's out here working three jobs because no one gets paid enough anymore and companies treat their loyal employees like disposable trash. It's not a fad; it's dystopia.
They've normalized processed garbage foods, so now it's an indulgence to eat chicken or drink juice made from vegetables. Avocado is an extremely nutritious food, but if you take a minute to spread it on whole wheat bread and put an egg on top you're dining in luxury and going to credit card hell.

Yeah, Affinity seems like the obvious Adobe alternative to me. But I guess it's not suitable for animation.
