It's just amazing to me how people try to set up these extremely convoluted / transactional frameworks for what reduces down "do humanity" and "sometimes help each other out with stuff". Absolutely boils my brain when I see someone get treated in a dismissive way.

Amberspire's incredible music is from @mode7games.bsky.social who captured the overall tone of the visuals and writing beautifully. Can't wait for everyone to hear more than just a snippet!

Very cool to see my soundtrack come together with everyone else's work in these recent teasers.

This game has The Vibes in abundance and Nic's thoughtful design is going to be of interest to many of you games people so please give it a look!

Overheard in a book shop: "Wuthering Heights? No way that's an actual book."

I have had my work passed off as someone else's or used without permission many times before - it is never simple.

At certain times, the repetitious campaigning and grandstanding is mega helpful and at other times it is counterproductive.

Trying to collapse every conversation about Marathon into a ritualistic performance of who can shout "Bungie stole art" the loudest does more harm than good to artists in general.

If it's so nuanced that you need to speculate on the exact content of a legal settlement doesn't it then deserve its own context? Doesn't this become unworkable for you if you miss any comment anyone makes about the game for the rest of time?

Not every single context needs to be collapsed into a litany of grievances? I thought the artist in question made a statement saying the issue was resolved to their satisfaction.

๐Ÿ“† ON THIS DAY in 2006 โ€ข 20 years ago! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ @8bitpeoples.bsky.social releases Information Chase, 6 mp3s of chiptune powerpop. It's since come out on CD & vinyl, & I've performed its songs to audiences who have loudly sung along, despite there being no words. What could be more heartwarming than that? ๐Ÿ™

Final day! Final pitch to those on the fence: We've successfully delivered 6 KS projects previously. ABIDE is fresh, for horror and for games. It is mature and well researched. It is brutal. Stop motion but also a proper game. We aim to be generous and to entertain with our games.

It's important to audit everything the second it's mentioned in any context

Trying to replace game journalists with AI is one of the single most stupid uses of the technology I've seen and that is a hotly contested category.

The entire point of written games journalism is the expression of a subjective human perspective: that is the value; that is the purpose.

I released my first commercial game at age 30. This is a lame take.
