Hear me out...
Univerally praised games are neat enough, but nothing hits quite like something unpopular that speaks to *you*.
So show-and-tell: Link and Explain a game that's UNDERRATED (sub-500 user reviews), UNDERRATED (sub 80% score) or BOTH (ideally!) that is near and dear to your heart.
They truly want you to believe this shit is inevitable and actually better than human endeavor but the one surefire thing that can stop it is not agreeing to the first two things. That’s all! That also means not willingly feeding it. It’s not difficult to avoid using it!
Not at #GDC but I’m #WhatAGameDevLooksLike
Writer, editor, Narrative Designer and DEI Consultant for 10+ years. A very hireable one, still seeking work a year after Monolith’s closure. ✌🏾
So many awesome folks doing the #WhatAGameDevLooksLike thing this year! I'm not going to repost everything because it's a bit much, and I mostly don't post selfies, but you should definitely check out the hashtag. It's a nice reminder that the industry is diverse and this should be celebrated.

Ahh, what an auspicious start to GDC! A good evening of catching up with old friends and making new ones. We’re all in this crazy thing together, aren’t we.

"AI has long been part of gaming and will continue to be" is so heckin disingenuous. I've been a game AI engineer for almost 20 years, which has absolutely nothing to do with the current bubble of generative AI that is burning the world to solve no actual problems.
gf saw a joke post that was using generative art just to make a joke headline (which was funny enough on its own) look like it actually was real. this is making me wanna break out the ol photoshop cs6 again, ppl need to re-embrace the craft of photobashing
i've found out it's not that
Getting kicked off the Team Cherry QA tester team because I keep repeating my “this game is FULL of bugs” joke
your grandma only collected porcelain cherubs because funkos didn't exist yet. you are the same

BARTOLOMEO CRISTOFORI: Behold my new invention, a musical instrument that can play music soft or loud.
FERDINANDO DE MEDICI: Wonderful! What do you call it?
CRISTOFORI (sweating): Uhhhh… the "softloud"
This is the longest game I've ever written for and my first official release on Steam so I'm very excited for people to play it 👉👈 please let me know what you think!

does anyone have deep knowledge of discord bots or is able to point me to resources about them? im toying with the idea of making a game run entirely by a discord bot you drop into an empty server
An old IWW poster showing a top-down view of hands washing dishes in the sink. It's captioned "MEN AND BOYS! REVOLUTION BEGINS IN THE SINK! Only when men take full responsibility for their share of the cooking, the cleaning, and the washing up... only then can they join with women, and together build a new work!!!"
this, to me, is still one of the hardest pieces of propaganda ever made

Big shoutout to the #VNDevWiki!
Iron's amazing work with #accessibility, attention to USEFUL preferences+styling, and user accounts ✨without the need to disclose emails✨ are all so nice to see.
It's packed with good resources too. Massive props for the wonderful work so far! #vndev #indiegamedev
ME: *eating a quarter inch slice of rosemary gouda and a mound of kimchi right before bed* this is great. Im listening to my body. it must have needed this
Mexican corn on the cob with mayonnaise and hot sauce on a stick, also known as elote. A brown bird is perched on the stick, beak open, taking a bite of the corn.
A grackle eating elote on 116th St this afternoon.
I’ll soon be available for game design, creative direction, and consultancy opportunities while I develop my own projects. I’m also open to paid speaking engagements if you know of any!
If you’d be willing to share/repost this, or just send a kind word, I’d truly appreciate it. Thank you! ♥
My only hot take on Switch 2 pricing is that we should all be paid more
that drive-by silksong reveal had me do a double take and i don't even. like i've never played hollow knight i have no horse in this race. but it was just a flash. and i said no. there's no way. and had to rewind. that's hilarious. honestly funniest thing nintendo's ever done
if it weren't for the grace of my roommate I never would've been able to play games like BG3, and I'm always thinking about how media access due to cost defines what media you can even access or engage with
