I'm generating generic job names for a game I'm making, and some of these company names are already cracking me up.

Fake job listing for a Junior Manager at Super Arts, Semi Senior Manager at Nice Dock, and Senior Manager at Hard Depot Inc.

Don't forget. Don't mess it up. Crow Country is pretty great, more people should visit this absolutely not haunted abandoned theme park.

I’m growing tired of the phrase “must be studied”. Not only does its popular use add nothing to conversation… but also… YOU CAN DO THAT STUDY! You can start investigating and sharing your findings on the subject! Don’t just act like someone else MUST do it, and then just wait for it. Go ahead!

2am thoughts: Kamen Rider Agito is testing my patience by having a protagonist who stops the plot and is wholly uninterested in solving the central mystery, even 20 episodes in. The other two riders are going through hell in order to find clues and become stronger, meanwhile Agito plays dumb

I’m so glad I’m not hooked on Twitter anymore. It really feels like for every genuine tweet, there’s 9 other posts rage baiting, engagement baiting, or just straight up bot content. Every time I see “There’s a reason for this. And you’re not ready to hear it” I just close the site.

Rereading your own work and improving it is easy. After all, you likely know a solution just from thinking of the problem, or the solution is just to write less Fixing problems from feedback someone gave you? that's when the real problem solving has to come in. it's so much harder to think lol

I’m having a dream where we can host doujin game conventions, and instead of selling discs or flash drives, devs can ask people to bring their own usb’s and get an exclusive game! of course, malware makes this impossible. But man imagine owning a physical, exclusive game!

Conflicted over this, but happy to see that community members and maintainers are even more conflicted than I am. Just this weekend, we held our gamedev community meetup and I held a presentation about the objective drawbacks of using AI in games. It was a contentious topic, but I feel like -

Really hope the Godot team draws a firm stance on this AI situation soon, and hopefully they oppose it. I've had a really good time using it, and it would really suck to build up ANOTHER community and knowledge base if they do decide to stick with AI.

oh I haaaaated that new starfox reveal. It's bad. The visuals miss the mark on any charm the original had, the extra dialogue misses the magic of the short-but-sweet quips, and none of this is justifying spending my money on it.

Regarding the recent UT/DR discourse, I think the main takeaway is that we need to be able to apply fan translations on consoles.

I think it's time I uninstalled Tekken, and it hurts! I gave them a chance with more aggressive combat but it really isn't fun to learn: It's all about facerolling the enemy, and never about cleverly defending. It was a good run, but unless they make it a different game I'm gone

Rolled (first) credits on Look Outside I WILL gush about this game without end. Everything about that game oozes talent: its music, its art, visuals, mechanics and replay-ability But its strongest parts are its writing and its bold game design proposal, and both go together beautifully here.

I'd heard people talk about the Switch 2 screen being bad, and I always thought it was exaggeration, until I had to try it for myself and they were not wrong at all. It is a really bad, really sluggish screen, and I haven't even tried its HDR capabilities.

Got stuck with a bad block in another project I'm working on, so I decided to make a nonogram clone in pico-8. It's so much fun to work on!

Was doing some off-stream progress for Silent Hill F and I think I'm just gonna finish it offstream, I unintentionally locked myself into the bad ending without even knowing and at this point I'd rather just lay back and get the rest of the endings Not to say it's bad, btw, it gets so much better

Award situation aside, thing that stood out was just how bad the economy is. Used to be a ton of games releasing NOW! To: half rehash of already live cash cows (Warframe, WuWa, Genshin, fortnite), half games coming 2027 because development teams have been slashed to 10% capacity to cut costs.
