Yesterday I added cursors to the game for people that don't want others to touch their Steam Deck screen... So I thought: Why not 2 controller support?! Mini Chess now also supports the Steam Machine: store.steampowered.com/app/5311410/... #steammachine #steamdeck #indiegame #indiedev #solodev

The councillor who chairs Piddington Parish Council, near Bicester, says that yesterday’s stunt referendum – in which the village voted to leave the UK in protest against an asylum centre – was “an example of democracy in operation”. Tim McNally himself gained his role without a contested election.

The Pokémon book I backed from @nintymedia.bsky.social arrived yesterday. It's glorious!
The item is the Pokébook Unofficial Companion Gen I, shown here laid out on a carpet alongside its accompanying book, a large poster filled with Pokémon characters, a green starter Pokémon bookmark, a Poké Ball enamel pin, and a yellow "Thank You!" note from Ninty Media.

They put block-pushing in my Picross puzzles! (Sokogram)
I expected a cool little fusion of games from Sokogram, but I did not expect the puzzles to be so nicely designed. The game combines nonograms (also known by the Nintendo trademark Picross) with sokoban puzzles - first you solve the nonogram, placing land and water, and then you have to solve a soko

I'm not done with this bullshit. Suggesting when we buy games, digital or otherwise, we don't own them is RIDICULOUS. Every single game I've ever bought before digital was the norm? IS. MINE. Of course it's "reasonable". It's ALWAYS been the expectation because it was this way for DECADES.

Every time somebody suggests taxing the super rich, newspapers and TV pundits claim it’ll just drive rich people away. On the rare occasion those taxes are applied (like removing non dom status), the research generally shows the number of people leaving for tax reasons are negligible.

Hey everybody. I’ve seen the statement by Matt Karch, the CEO of Saber Entertainment, and all of the truly horrendous things he said about me. I think it should be obvious to anyone who reads that statement that he’s lashing out because he did not want people to know there was AI use in the game.

Tim Sweeney's Infinite AI dialogue in games will not work. Because deep down players don't actually want to play-act thru a dialogue. There is a natural embarrassment to acting or having to say or write things you don't believe. And that actually breaks immersion.
