Ambitious, creative, one-of-a-kind game every game designer should check out... not perfect but not the point

i think ive paid gabe newell more from the proceeds of my games than i've paid the government, but gabe doesn't pave my roads or fund my schools or feed the kids in my community

probably a few overdue conversations to be had about maybe paying less gabes before we pay less taxes or something

Black and white photo of Marjane Satrapi with the quote:

"The world is not divided between East and West. You are American. I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same."

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t George W. Bush may think that a war against Iraq is the solution to our problems, but the reality is, it will only serve to create far more.

Culture has to turn away from this shit to survive. We have to make our own stuff and maybe it’ll look like dogshit but we can call it ours and love the process

I'll be bringing Hypnogenesis to the Wonderville playtest tonight if you want to give it a spin (& give some feedback) before @allenriley.com & I take it to the ExGS at @officialgdc.bsky.social next month!

Specifically, we're testing the the first positive element: a little smile that grants health

people will be like "indies will save the games industry" and then refuse to buy an indie game until it's in a steam sale for 99 cents

I have to say the thing I am most grateful for is Pokemon's cross-generational appeal; going to TCG swap meets & 'gym' events with my granddad, who had his own decks/collection & was a proficient player. He's gone now, but Pokemon persists, and is now one of the brands I most share with my daughter.

SUMMITSPHERE is developing a brand-new Unreal title in partnership with a major industry player. We’re assembling a small, elite team to build something tight, ambitious, and punk.

Today we're opening our first position for an Unreal Engineer to lead programming on this project.

Meteorologist: we're expecting snow, sleet, and hail
- boring
- too detailed
- just different forms of water

Meteorologist: we're expecting a wintry mix
- mysterious
- excitingly vague
- could include a yeti

Gamers these days are ridiculous. So entitled and needy, so quick to flip out over the smallest little thing. And you have to explain and hold their hand through everything like it's the first game they ever played in their life. Look at this. No respect for the hardware, no respect for the craft

Interesting how grounded and β€œrealistic” the artwork feels in later Calvin & Hobbes because Watterson fundamentally understood how to rotate bodies in space. But zoom in on the feet and hands here and it’s basically Peanuts, super flat and β€œcartoony”. Such a light touch!

I made the moving platforms slippery because I couldn’t figure out how to make them work as regular moving platforms!
