Nothing fucks up your day more than an officer trying to get promoted.

Bangai-O is a game about parrying missiles with even more missiles, and collecting fruit, and it's such a joy, and I wish anything about it translated to anything besides more Bangai-O: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jkwz...

Looks like a medieval double leg takedown to me.

Yesterday my friend told me about her PHILOSOPHY students all using ai for their assignments and like come the fuck on man you’re in Uni doing the subject thats Thinking about Thinking and u refuse to Think

That's why the idea of "'ai' fast casual development" is appealing to them, lots of people in AR/VR/Computer Vision spaces that want to do fast marketing for people, but don't really care about games, and don't think the games need to be good. (The 'ai' of it all is still very bad, to be clear)

My opinion on this is that they want to be out of games and into games-adjacent fields, like movies and computer vision, but they have investors who are obsessed with brand identity and so they can't commit to it (thus the buy/sell turnaround they did on Weta Digital).

if you asked me to diagnose the western game industry's current problem it would start with "landlords have absorbed basically all disposable income"

This is the worst part of being into local grunge; some of the bands associate bad equipment with being indie, and some of them would never think to record a studio version. What do you _mean_ the only recordings of this song are in a bowling alley?

Any recommendations for programming/gamedev #Coworking / #BodyDoubling streams?

I'm going to put this out there for Seattle-area folks: I have free prescription Hill's k/d dry and wet food cat food if you know anyone with a cat in stage 3-4 kidney disease. I also have a low-entry pellet litter box and two sets of plastic pet stairs for less-mobile pets. Feel free to share wide!

Sometimes veterans will say some dumb shit, but the things civilians say in response to them are somehow even more dumb.

I think the funniest consequence of doors in videogames being The Way They Are is how comfortable dudes are lying about being 6'4".

I love Dishonored so much, but I tried to play the second one and it gave me major motion sickness T_T

I'm realizing I can also push the format a group of us built specifically for this, called EGH: publish.ministryofinternet.eu/rethinkjeff/...

I'm going to take this opportunity to plug my favorite format, 2HG Block Constructed. I know it's commander, so doesn't solve commander problems. But it's such a good format.

if i have to fuck around with my BIOS and only use Windows for the sake of an anti-cheat, I will simply not play the game

AAA games asking players to fuck around with their BIOS in order to have anti-cheat working "correctly" has got to be one of the most insane things game devs have done recently.

Gamers aren't built that way in 2026 you will brick thousands of machines.
