Axiom Verge as a series i'd consider one of the greats of Metroidvanias and highly recommend. If you haven't yet, consider checking them out! 093
Tom Happ @axiomverge.bsky.social · 06/09/2026People point out that AI makes slop, uses stolen assets, destroys the environment, and is super dangerous... but suppose it did none of those things and just made perfect games and art and music; is that something we even want? 276011

Tom Happ @axiomverge.bsky.social · 27/08/2026The past couple of days a new thing needed my attention every 15 minutes. I can't even understand simple code on these days. Also I found an object called "AssetManager" that apparently only manages breakable tiles. I think I must have written that on a similar kind of day. 1200
Tom Happ @axiomverge.bsky.social · 26/08/2026I had a dream the other night that I was at some kind of E3-like event, but instead of being in a normal exhibition hall, it was in some kind of architectural marvel of a place. It was a maze and I was trying to make it on time for a presentation but couldn't find it. Also I could fly. 5231

Tom Happ @axiomverge.bsky.social · 28/07/2026Remember Java 3D?

Reposted by Tom HappJon Ingold @jon.inkle.co · 08/06/2026This is exactly it for me. If a character is “bad” because their world has made them so, that’s implicitly hopeful; the world can also redeem. But if characters are simply good - and worse, pure - that tells us the world can be divided into deserving and damned, and that‘s the root of fascism 328381
