Desperados 3 is a tremendously good strategy game, I think I recommend one of Mimimi's stealth tactics games nearly every steam sale, but for damn good reason. Nobody did it like them. Take your posse of cowpokes on elaborate murder-puzzle stages in a genuinely epic revenge narrative.

Save 75% on Desperados III on Steam

Desperados III is a story-driven, hardcore tactical stealth game, set in a ruthless Wild West scenario. Play smart if you want to succeed. A good plan can make the difference between survival and find...

It's why I'm always harping on "Screw algos! resist the urge to crab bucket post! We don't HAVE to do this Hate-Engagement/Outrage farming thing!!" it's not only made the world a worse place, but the net really didn't used to be this way. it really was a place to make friends, create and explore

Hey folks, I had a big thread about AI and art that really popped off, and now I have some attention, so why don't I make a little thread of upcoming indie games I'm looking forward to that have neat artstyles? And a lot of these games will have demos to check out, so maybe give them a try?

Screenshot from Tenebris Somnia showing a creepy guy with head candles bathed in shadow

Screenshot from Hymm to the Eyeless God, showing a party based RPG with a top down view of a path through some woods, and it appears as if one of the insect like player characters is casting a spell.

Screenshot from Mandrake showing an isometric view of the interior of a building, a character called Nessa's portrait is on the left side and says "Thanks for coming to Pevenny with me Morgan. I'd have hated doing that alone."

Screenshot from Hark The Ghoul, there's a gaslight street lamp in a dark alleyway, on a crate sits a big wheel of cheese, underneath the lamp is a small rat like guy who might be cheesed to meet us.

Genuinely, this is what bothers me the most, it's fundamentally changed my relationship with art where I'm greeting it initially with skepticism and scrutiny, I never want to feel that way about art.

“Hate to tell you this” No, you don’t. You fucking love it. You’re a dirty little pedant and you’re giving us ALL a bad name by pretending you don’t enjoy it. That’s why people think we’re joyless when truly we are the embodiment of glee, the leaping dolphins of humanity.

@eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place

OH. right! i get it now!

i get why AI is so depressing to me. because covid already shrunk my world to almost nothing, where almost all of my life revolves around socializing and watching videos on the internet (which is being ruined by AI) and creating creative works through coding (which is being ruined by AI), often using open source tools and libraries (which are being ruined by AI)

i already had so little and now even that is being rotted away before my eyes

Astonishing really how ADHD-denialism so closely matches early trans-denialism (say, a decade ago, before it went mask-off eliminationist), to the point that it includes the exact same personalities, again vomiting their know-nothing opinions all over the place.

Hi, new fan and community member here! :) Quick question: why did the artist make what they wanted to make instead of what I wanted? I understand they enjoyed making it, and that you all enjoy it too, but I just think they made a huge mistake not making my thing instead. Thanks!

For those you don't know how this works, when a video gets copyright claimed, 100% of its revenue starts going to the claimant. The only way for a claim to be automatically removed is to trim out the claimed clip, obviously bad if the clip has original narration over it. Songs have to be muted. -R

Yeah, fraudulent copyright claims are such second nature to us Youtubers that it's easy to forget that the average viewer only knows that UMG is a blight upon the universe. And quartz, of course

I feel like folks expressing bafflement at younger readers approaching prose fiction by skipping everything except the dialogue think this is a problem that came out of nowhere and not a consequence of one's formative media being YouTube videos with 45 seconds of content in a 12-minute running time.

It's really that succinct. You can elaborate on it further, but none of them ever really believe their bullshit, and it's either they enjoy cruelty for the sake of it or extremists using transphobia as a wedge like all those fundamentalist Christian orgs, but they're always lying sacks of shit.

the thing that makes art yours is not the effort, it's the intent. splattering paint on a canvas improvisationally is still more artistic than prompting, because even if you don't control exactly where the paint falls you are still in complete control of the procedure

That’s part of why this is so frustrating - liberals want the *credit* for being trans inclusive while saying and doing transphobic things because they have it in their head that they’re the “good guys” so any action they take is good.
