Can I let you in on a secret? A while ago I added some custom CSS to show on bsky, it hides all the numbers. I've been lurking a bit, and it's so healing to not be presented with the absolute numerical worth of someone's post or profile. Anyway, might lurk more.

Today is our Early Access release! 🎉 Really happy with all the VFX and tiny polishing touches I've put in the last couple weeks. The battles are damn satisfying now. I've had to forbid myself from 3D printing and painting the tiles, they're so touchable and I want them on my desk.

Going back through a long running podcast is a real journey of how we've felt about social media over time. 2015: "you can find us online @... Last week someone tweeted a supercut of every time Gary says 'Weeeeeell' lol" 2024: "we're no longer on social media, but feel free to email us"

My oddly specific existential pain is the sight of an Upper Crust. Something about all those individually made baguettes. Destined for individual mouths, insatiable rows of gnashing teeth. Makes me realise the enormity of humanity. And I don't like it.

Can thoroughly recommend Davinci Resolve if you're an #indiedev looking to cut a video together on a budget. The free version will export up to 4k. And most of the features for the paid version are aimed at proper cinema stuff, like HDR and colour grading. Which we don't need. #gamedev

The excitement of popping down to GAME and buying a physical copy of OlliOlli World was ever so slightly diminished, when I realised the store had been closed down and replaced with a dank corner in Sports Direct. I didn't realise fulfilling this childhood fantasy would involve so much PE kit.

Realised it was the PS1's 30th anniversary in like two weeks, and it did me immense psychic damage.

An image of the two screens of the PS1 startup. Text has been edited to read "Holy shit, this bios is 30 years old. I am so old. You probably are too. You have my deepest sympathies. Play some PS1. I hear it helps".
