I'm saying nothing

while you were busy writing essays, I wrote another Elder Scrolls

(please buy it I need to feed my cats)

looking at the GDC talks for this year and this kinda sums it up, huh

Steam community requesting additional body types for added immersion.

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.”

Oof. I just read your post in the most uncharitable, pedantic way possible, and I gotta tell ya: it's not looking good for you.

"But Jill, don't you like games? Having lots of games to play is not a good thing?"

I do love games but see, as a normal, well-adjusted person, I also love lists where every line is checked

Alright, I'll bump it up my backlog 😩
As if that thing wasn't long enough

Every now and then I'm reminded we live in the same city and somehow still have never met

Tiens, ça a changé ?

"If we don't have anything in place to ensure these measures are respected, this is no law, this is just a bunch of requests."

Lately, whenever someone looks at blatant abuse of power and influence from government officials and says "this should be illegal," I'm reminded of that episode.

So, in the TV show Scandal (I know, divisive), somewhere I believe in season 5, the president is trying to convince his VP to be the swing vote on a bill. (I think it's the one about police violence but it's been a while)

During this back-and-forth negotiation, she asks "How do we enforce it?"

Making note to write you about that later today

(hastily erasing the text wall explaining my issues you didn't ask for)

That being said I hope you keep enjoying the game, and I'd love to confront our opinions

I think it's the first time since I've started following you on Bluesky that I have to answer : hard disagree.

It start incredibly strong, but I found it dwindled at an awful speed.

Yes. I'm in. When do we start?

- Before having any character take part in a scene, you should know what they want out of it. Even if it's literally "out of it."

- You can easily get away with lying to the reader if it comes from a character who's lying to themselves.

- Don't explain things that can be inferred

- Add lesbians

Tu dis ça mais on te voit jamais a Bordeaux 😠

Also, la Loire c'est une réponse de droite, me dit-on dans l'oreillette

Bioshock.

And I'm glad, because discovering it in my 20s rather than my teens gave me a much better appreciation of the game.

it's all just art. "porn" is just art that makes you horny, in precisely the way that "horror" is art that makes you scared and "metroidvania" is art that makes you write video essays

Yep. Caught it late January, throat is still clogged.

so much this 💯

if people want shorter games with worse graphics made with less work many exist but not enough people buy them for developers to be paid more (or even recoup costs)

similar to "there should be more variety in games" there's so much! gotta look for it! won't have CoD marketing budget

You really do have to take dating sims/romances seriously. Not love them. Not know everything about them. Not even play them. But take them seriously. They're a legitimate, influential, long-running genre, and the lack of awareness and acceptance in English-speaking circles should be embarrassing.

Tweet by Jatin @jatinkmalik The reason why RAM has become four times more expensive is that a huge amount of RAM that has not yet been produced was purchased with non-existent money to be installed in GPUs that also have not yet been produced, in order to place them in data centers that have not yet been built, powered by infrastructure that may never appear, to satisfy demand that does not actually exist and to obtain profit that is mathematically impossible

How much negotiating would it have taken to get "Palantir" cleared?

J'étais entrée prête a encaisser Space White Savior 2, j'ai été complètement prise par surprise par American Toxic Family Values

(mais episode IX n'est vraiment pas loin derrière)

This is just gripping!
