The old second hand Dreamcast I had in university halls only worked when tilted at a very specific angle with a book on top of the disk drive... Fucking loved that thing.

one thing you learn from making a lot of things is that the nitty gritty details, the millions of tiny invisible decisions, ARE the art. The "higher level ideas" are not nearly as important or interesting

I didn't realise how bad it was until we released a game a few years ago and people played it on Youtube. The auto-match crap lodged claims from Sony the original synthwave music was part of their 'Latin/South American' mix. It is all just so deeply stupid.

Lol, are you kidding me? Microsoft Word/Powerpoint/Excel etc now all refuse to autosave files unless you turn on "All connected experiences" which turns on scanning your files and automatically saving files in the cloud. Apparently its now impossible for MS to autosave a file on your local machine

Just saw this review for SOLAS 128 from a bit ago and I absolutely love how spot on it is 💜 £12.40 to help charity and get 7 cool puzzle games (where at least one of them is provably Turing complete) sounds like a steal to me! 👉 www.humblebundle.com/games/progra...

A screenshot positive Steam Review with a big blue thumbs up which reads:

"Recommended 72 hrs on record (64.6 hrs at review time)

A puzzle rave inside an optical computer where pulses of light and tight EDM beats are your only friends.

Fresh and original, tons of gameplay, great level deisgn, provably turing complete

0x001b thumbs up"

This shows the madness of our current political environment. Papers and politicians are spending endless political capital othering at risk groups and inventing moral panics. Whereas most people actually want others to be safe, and governments to spend time fixing energy, housing, and fuel costs?

Honestly this might be the most Remedy Remedy have ever been and I'm so here for it. These are all taken less than an hour in... (These were in previews so I'm not going to share any other shots, but yeah... it's a real looker so far!)

A screenshot from Control: Resonant. It is looking up into a yellow-tinted New York skyline... only the skyline itself is up in the sky with buildings floating, rotated, and curving off mirrored to each side.

A screenshot from Control: Resonant. Dylan is standing on golden grass, and there is a small glowing screen in the distance under a strange spirograph like pattern shining in the sky.

A screenshot from Control: Resonant. Dylan is standing on a black concrete pathway with drops into the void on each side. Strange repeating holed columns are on each side. In the distance a light highlighting hundreds of pigeons arranged in strange concentric spheres that look like they'll shift.

Control: Resonant is already absolutely batshit in the best possible way, and I'm only 1.5 hours in. Plus I love the fact after all the recent discourse Resonant has dozens of options for customising the UI and goes "hey, what if we had players follow glitching pigeons rather than a waypoint?"

It's so wild to see the BBC uncritically repeat Microsoft saying "hey our main competitor might destroy the world, but our tech is fine" as if it's fucking news. I dunno, maybe there is a really obvious ulterior motive there that the bare minimum of thought would have noticed?

I was looking forward to the Steam Frame, but after reading the reviews my interest has just evaporated. I'm totally baffled why they put so much effort into meh speakers, and haven't made it easy to use wired headphones? And no new game? It feels like its been sent out to die, which sucks.

Amicable Animal - New CRT7 demo OUT NOW! 🦝🏳️‍🌈 @amicableanimal.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Tested and it feels fairer. Just make sure the correct symbol is showing under the 'level bar', as if its not there the bubble will still never spawn. Oh, and if you miss it, you'll see a cross and will need to try again next run! Update notes here: store.steampowered.com/news/app/357...

Just pushed a small update on Steam and Itch to help this (Version 1.31). I've tweaked how the colour bubbles spawn so they're more consistent. There were lots of things potentially blocking them before which felt unfair. Hanging around in the right colour before levelling up should work now!

Jokes aside I think it's really interesting to talk about this repeated cycle of overcorrection against player friction and this is just the latest game in a long list. Nintendo are really helping me out too, making the Navi references relevant again too!

Amicable Animal - New CRT7 demo OUT NOW! 🦝🏳️‍🌈 @amicableanimal.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Glad you backed up, because most likely not! It's pretty built in. There should be a thing where the chance increases if you keep going but I think yellow potentially still feels harder because of that colour being less common and not being at the start of any palletes. I have a think!

100

Amicable Animal - New CRT7 demo OUT NOW! 🦝🏳️‍🌈 @amicableanimal.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Anyway, I'll try to check when I can to see if it is still working properly and I'll let you know. I definitely wouldn't recommend resetting your progress any more though, as that won't fix it for sure!

101

Amicable Animal - New CRT7 demo OUT NOW! 🦝🏳️‍🌈 @amicableanimal.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Those colour bubbles can spawn with a low percentage chance when (and only when) the same symbol also appears in the bottom right (under the level bar) - which is based off the 'danger' colour of the level you're on. Yellow appears less often (and no palettes start on yellow) so harder to get!

200

Amicable Animal - New CRT7 demo OUT NOW! 🦝🏳️‍🌈 @amicableanimal.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Heya! Sorry you've been having a difficult time getting that achievement. The day job is super busy at the moment, but I'll try to have a look this weekend to see if there is anything not working as intended. One thing I do remember is that yellow is probably the most difficult colour to spawn...

I'm happy to hear your look was more positive because... That trailer was gubbins. Having ugly, obviously wrong looking coasters isn't really a good start when claiming to be the "original rollercoaster simulator". I'd love to be proven wrong though! How does it compare to Parkitect, do you think?

Okay so look... Yes I maybe got a bit carried away with adding settings to this watch...

The first page of settings for a watch face. It has Basic Preferences for changing things like whether to use 24 hour time, and Complication Options which lets the user change whether a step counter or battery meter is shown, alongside a step target and a low battery indicator.

The second page of watch face settings, allowing the changing the colour of 9 different elements of the watch face!

A photo of the watch face with a bunch of changes saved. It's now showing 12 hour time, the day is after the month, the center bar is showing battery level in blue, the top half of the border is yellow, the bottom is purple, the sun is orange, and the background is white with black text

I snagged a Pebble Time 2 earlier this week and, of course, I immediately wanted to make my own watchface so... Here's my first attempt! An Art Deco Sundial where the sun/moon moves around the border with the time. Plus step tracking on the middle!

A photos of a black rectangular smart watch on a wrist, in artificial light. The face shows the time as 23:04 at the top, and 26 August, Wednesday on the bottom. These are separated by a white line across the width with a yellow rectangle nearly the same width covering it. Around the outside is a border which is light blue in the top half, and orange on the bottom half, separated by a black horizon. There are lines marking each three hour marker around the border. A white circle is at the bottom in the orange border, approaching the vertical line representing midnight.

A photos of a black rectangular smart watch on a wrist, in daylight. The face shows the time as 11:52 at the top, and 27 August, Thursday on the bottom. These are separated by a white line across the width with a yellow rectangle covering it the middle fifth. Around the outside is a border which is light blue in the top half, and orange on the bottom half, separated by a black horizon. There are lines marking each three hour marker around the border. A yellow circle is at the top in the blue border, overlapping but slightly to the left of the vertical line representing midday.
