worth remembering, David Lynch directed βfix your hearts or dieβ specifically at transphobes. it wasnβt a generic βno mean people allowedβ statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

So lemme tell you about a lil known game Balatro!
In all seriousness, Dujanah is great. I don't understand a single thing after completing it twice.
Visuals are stellar, soundtrack is awesome, it's great

A big draw of the game-design-by-A/B-testing type thinking is that it absolves you from having to form your own opinions & taste. It allows you to outsource the most difficult part of any creative endeavour: actually believing in your vision.
Unpopular opinion, but a lot of this "doing it right" mentality is how we wind up with games all feeling the exact same.
Difficulty spikes, weird controls, ropey onboarding all of it critical to prevent games feeling like they're ground down and pumped out safe mush.

Remember Flash? Remember how EVERY FUCKING THING used to use it? And the Adobe just took it beyond the wood shed and put it down.
And now if you want to run one of the MANY things dependent on Flash, you gotta jump through hoops and hope somebody knows how to emulate it...
"you need to learn how to use gAI or you'll get left behind!"
counterpoint!
the absolute fastest way to render yourself unemployable is to build your skillset around a tool that does your thinking for you, that everyone has access to, and that one company can change or take away at any time

StimuWrite 2.4 is here!! I also started a patreon, there are details in this post, and I'll make a thread about it soon, but for now I have to collapse thatclowngoddess.itch.io/stimuwrite/d...
kill the imposter syndrome in you head because not only is there someone out there doing it worse than you, they're also using chat gpt to do it
Anyways.
Miyamoto should've done more interviews in 1989 because this is like reading a wizard talk. This snippet distills why playing games in another language has always been so appealing to me. (And also reminds me why Tunic is such a masterpiece.)
Alt text is important for accessibility but what we donβt talk about as much is that itβs also a great opportunity for joke density

To understand what's happening in Iran today, you have to know about the history of Western intervention in the country.
In the early 1900s, the British secured oil rights in the country until 1993, where they only agreed to pay Iran 16% of the total profits.
This was seen as an unfair deal. π§΅
It's really worth highlighting the history here
Obama and Iran had a deal. Trump tore it up in 2018, reimposed sanctions and assassinated Soleimani
Now, Iran had agreed to everything the US wanted in a new negotiation, and Trump bombed them anyway
Why would any country ever trust the US again?

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to bomb this elementary school full of kids because he thinks it makes him look cool. also his scheming viziers will be betting money on it for fun. good luck soldier
When I went to Tehran in 2018 for a game conference I hung out with game nerds, music weirdos, and queer folks with tattoos and colored hair, just like I do here. We got vegetarian food and watched goofy uncles play basketball in the park. I sure hope they can live to see a better day.

We cannot and should not let generative AI take away these tiny, insignificant, but probably fun as hell jobs from artists
BROWT GANG
"Artists peak at 30", "30 under 30", "by 30 you should" ridiculous. Arts industries capital craves young people to exploit and burn out. It doesn't want older artists thriving and guiding the young. It also doesn't want artists to exist. Stop letting cannibals tell you you only matter on a plate.
The people who run these AI projects are so deeply unimpressive as thinkers.
NEW: A hobbyist has created Nearby Glasses, an app that warns you if someone close by is wearing smart glasses. 404 Media spoke to the creator who said he was inspired by our coverage that uncovers how men are wearing Meta's Ray-Bans to covertly film massage parlor workers.
