I think people misunderstand the "Nintendo, hire this man" meme. The issue isn't the graphics/art style; it's the fact that people who hype fan remake content don't notice the lack of the polish/depth that make the original games unique, and only care about realistic graphics.

I would be far more open to the whole "new baby mob models in Minecraft" change if there was a 1 in 100 or 1 in 1000 chance of getting the classic "adults with shrunk bodies" models as an easter egg, kinda like "Minceraft" in the title screen

Another way to view the effects of the UV Map modifier from my WIP add-on #b3d #blender #python

Marco Buono @coreh.bsky.social · 31/12/2025

Continued my (depth first?) blender add-on explorations, now working on a custom UV Map modifier/node group, inspired by 3dsmax's UVW Map modifier. Supports overlays, gizmos, several uv mapping modes: Planar, Box (Triplanar), Cylindrical (w/ and w/o cap), Sphere, Shrinkwrap (Azimuthal) #b3d #python

I understand the desire for verification (domains can be spoofed and may be hard to understand) but I feel like adopting the verified “iconography” from Twitter is a mistake

My unpopular opinion (?) is that Link *should* speak full dialog, and should have a fully fleshed-out, well-defined personality, in both the movie and in at least one mainline Zelda game. Their (arguably) greatest game (BotW) was achieved precisely by subverting expectations of the Zelda franchise.

I would like the ability to hide posts that I can't reply from my feeds. 🦋 I understand why the feature is needed (harassment, flame wars, etc) but at the same time reading something I can't meaningfully interact with almost always feels like a waste of my time, and a bit of an unfair asymmetry.

Still getting some physics jitter, but doors are finally working as intended. I'll try switching from fixed join constraints to compound colliders to see if the jitter goes away

Hey new followers! 👋 I'm a solo indie game dev currently working on an old-school FPS inspired by Brazil's most iconic UFO case 🛸 If you're into boomer shooters and have a moment, wishlisting it on Steam would mean a lot!

A love letter to the classic MS-DOS “boomer” shooter genre, in a setting loosely inspired by Brazil's most iconic UFO case. When your son goes missing, take to the streets in search of answers. Unrave...

The Nintendo Switch 2! The successor to the Nintendo Switch. Not an accessory, not an add-on, not a special edition! It is the 2, the second, the sequel, the next one! Not a Switch Plus, not a Switch Extra, not a Switch Deluxe! It is 2, two, dos, ni! The next! The follow-up! The successor!

The trauma with the Wii U runs so deep that the announcement video was 100% devoted to visually driving the point that the Switch 2 is in fact a successor and not an accessory or add-on to the Switch

The millennial experience is growing up with the internet, and watching it go from a free, open, democratic, and eclectic ecosystem to a wasteland of five websites controlled by billionaires, and now seeing it quickly fill up with AI-generated slop. I want our World Wide Web back.

One of the biggest problems of the Internet right now IMO is that bandwidth should be several orders of magnitude cheaper. Current prices make self hosting video prohibitive, which means the most widely consumed/created content type can only exist subsidized within massive commercial platforms.

I understand the concern about energy use (especially because data centers are often powered by non-carbon-neutral power plants) but I'm *deeply skeptical* about these water consumption claims. Water used for cooling is mostly recirculated and just topped up, the loss is typically minimal.

Experimenting a bit with Async Rust. The interaction of “traditional” multithreading (with mutexes, queues, etc) and async/await is so deeply unintuitive to me, as I've only been exposed to these in isolation, I keep reasoning incorrectly about things and introducing serial bottlenecks in my code

So I finally watched Sonic 3, (it took a while to arrive subbed in theaters here in Brazil) and I'm really happy that I somehow managed to stay spoiler free, despite not really trying to, because there were so many cool moments in there. 13-year-old me would never believe this in his wildest dreams

Slowly ramping up work on my game again after New Year's break, and it's interesting how different it "feels" now with a set of fresh eyes. A lot of the things that I though looked bad are actually okay, and a few of the things I thought looked good now look terribly unpolished #gamedev #indiedev

Here we go, something I've been drafting for a long, long time: how the US-centric approach to video games and their history / culture basically gaslights us who come from other realities: felipepepe.medium.com/the-gentrifi... AKA, why LAN Houses, PokéTibia & Bomba Patch rule.

VARG's inventory screen is starting to take shape! Not a whole lot of visible progress, but implementing this properly took a lot of behind-the-scenes work on UI layout, menus and #i18n. Menus are now nestable, mouse controllable, and support 4-directional navigation. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev
