Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 02/08/2026Okay, so I'm not a fan of horror games generally... But a handful of them I've found have profoundly impacted me. This includes Mouthwashing, Iron Lung and now MOLE (which I played through last night and wholly recommedn). Does anyone have any recommendations for similar experiences? Thanks :) 100
Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 14/06/2026Idk where else to say this, so its just going into the bluesky ether here... If you liked the game Iron Lung and weren't planning on watching Markiplier's movie adaptation - you are making a mistake IMO. It was incredibly well made and did such a good job of adapting the game to screen. 000

HoW maNy Rs in tHe worD coOkiE At that point you're the one that needs to be dunked on. Begging you to use your time and resources for better things. Please. 513941
Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 22/05/2026Just curious if anyone knows a good source of poetry online that is an anti-ai platform? Wife is looking for poetry but really doesn't want to end up using AI generated stuff and I have no idea where to point her. Did a quick search and, predictably, just got a bunch of AI generation services -.- 021
Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 14/05/2026Absolutely agree. I mean I liked FC3 when it came out and even enjoyed 4 and 5 in their own way... but 2 absolutely stands entirely on its own in a way that the rest of the franchise never did for me. I still replay it every couple of years and love every moment of it! 140
Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 14/05/2026FC2 is amazing and is so overlooked by people. There's so much attention to detail in little features all through that game! 130
Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 14/05/2026Wait I forgot you were asking for weird and just got excited about Morrowind... okay... Mark of Kri is my weird one lol 030
Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 14/05/2026Morrowind. FC Primal would be good. Hell so would Blood Dragon. But Morrowind all day every day. 120
Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 14/05/2026Correction - trailer looked cool when it was announced, not launched. 010
Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 14/05/2026Honestly, the trailer looked cool when it launched but after my post I watched a little about it and yeah it looks a bit bland and uninteresting. Still not sure if all the baby gamer rage is justified or not though lol... 210
Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 13/05/2026Can someone just tell me if Mixtape is something I should avoid or not? I'm so confused as to how much of this all is whiney baby gamer rage and how much is legitimate concern around actual issues lol. Fuck I hate this future. 100
Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 25/04/2026There's also a lot of people out there claiming that "research shows" demos result in less sales... Ofc no one ever cites this supposed research... And anecdotally I see the exact opposite with myself and friends but I'm sure that doesn't help lol 000

Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 18/04/2026The amount of people I know that claim they don't use AI but still read the google AI summary... This is an important learning moment lol... Change your browser so it goes directly to the web results, not the "all" (look it up, its pretty easy) or even better, stop using google! Qwant is a good alt 010
Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 17/04/2026(spoiler: the AI they are using is a plugin in Unreal that uses ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and CoPilot...) 000
Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 17/04/2026LMAO... literally had someone tell me that the AI used in programming is different to other AI and doesn't have the issues that they have (environmental impact, stolen data for training, etc)... If you're gonna use AI then just do it with your whole chest. But "my ai is ethical actually..."... lol 100
Reposted by Michael HutchessonCarmen Ito @beemon.symbolicon.net · 15/04/2026No more excuses for indie game developers for sure. Road to Vostok just laid to rest that Godot is somewhat lacking in visual quality like what kind of game are you making? Slay the Spire 2 is set to earn above USD$250 million. Move away from greedy executives and embrace Godot, the people's tool. 3288
Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 11/04/2026Damnit... almost had a good news days lol 000
Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 11/04/2026Welp, I made a mistake. I engaged in a discussion on steam forums lol. Jesus people can be really dumb... 000
Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 26/03/20264?! Jesus... thank you for making me feel incredibly old 😂 010
Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 25/03/2026I use both my ring finger and my pinky, depending on what feels most comfortable for each keystroke. But... I did have to test for a while because I had no idea haha 010
Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 16/03/2026lol... just woke up to see all the DLSS5 shite... and omg its **almost** worth the slop for all the hilarious responses and memes... almost... On a serious note though... ew. I'm so glad I basically only play indie games these days lol 020
Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 16/03/2026You and your posts on here are the only reason I have any fomo at all about Marathon lol... 111
Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 13/03/2026God I hate that we need to rely on creators actually telling us "No AI was used" or "Human Created" etc... but I'm also very grateful for those that do. Saves the annoying process of working it out lol 000
Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 10/03/2026This is me lately lol. Stupid anticheats that barely work anyway smh 000
Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 09/03/20269 slots isn't enough tbh... but anyways, here's mine 000
Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 04/03/2026I enjoyed Starfield... but I went into it expecting it to be absolutely terrible so... I think my low expectations made it decent for me idk *shrugs* 000
Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 04/03/2026Bro... how many live services games are big studios gonna release and immediate shutter before they actually learn? Jesus. Its actually embarrassing at this point. I feel so bad for all the people who put their heart and souls into these titles only for CEOs to be like "eh w/e shut it down lol" 000
Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 27/02/2026I'm not a pokemon person... so... guess I'll log off until tomorrow lol 000
Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 25/02/2026Some of you are keeping up with the youth and their vocab far too well and it really shows... 000
Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 23/02/2026This is so beautiful and so needed (by me at least) right now 000
Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 23/02/2026Not only this, but there is increasing evidence that just using AI makes your brain less capable of problem solving, meaning that over time its likely to lead to you being worse at coding and therefore probably less productive. Just... Fuck AI. That's all you need to know really lol 010
Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 21/02/2026That's fair. You had said that gaming sucks still on linux, and in my experience, that's opposite of the truth, so thought it worth mentioning :) I can't argue that its a bit of a hassle to make the switch, just that I think its worth the effort once you have. But only you know whats right for you 010
Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 21/02/2026That said, I have a full AMD setup (CPU and GPU) so... ymmv if you use Nvidia. From what I understand that's pretty good now on Linux too though *shrugs* 000
Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 21/02/2026I've been on Linux now for a little over 2 years and my primary use is gaming and game development... I've had no issues on Linux tbh. In most cases I've experienced better performance and stability than I did on Windows. Anticheat is the only issue remaining, but I don't play PVP anymore anyways 220
Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 19/02/2026As someone who hates making friends, and tends to end relationships over moral mismatches (where the other person has a moral stance I just cannot be okay with)... I sure feel like I'm running out of friends lol 000
Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 19/02/2026Today I remembered that I was confident there was no way Trump was going to win the first time around, and while less confident, still pretty sure he wouldn't the second time... So... now I'm legitimately worried about One Nation and that's... cool I guess? Sigh 000
Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 19/02/2026haha yeah... if you think veggies are squeeky you are gonna turn to violence if you try halloumi 020
Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 15/02/2026This looks absolutely stunning! I love the entire aesthetic 020

Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 12/02/2026It will never not be hilarious to me, in the most depressing way, that the "WORDS CANT HURT PEOPLE" crowd are so upset over specific protest chants, pronouns, etc. 000
Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 11/02/2026To be honest, there have been so many issues with discord over the years that I think a lot of us are just one small thing away from leaving it. Regardless of nuance, having a company with a proven questionable past, including around data security, require photos and ID to use it fully is enough 130
Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 11/02/2026Sadly so many Australians here are trying to say that the protesters deserved this shit. Its so disgusting :( 000
Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 11/02/2026I've seen some noise made about Stout as an alternative... but sort of waiting to see where everyone moves to before bothering to look into options much myself. 010
Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 10/02/2026So do we have an agreed upon discord alternative we are all gonna jump ship to or not yet? Someone suggested Stout but I've never used anything like discord that wasn't discord... 000
Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 10/02/2026The feelings I have after going along to an anti-herzog protest in Adelaide yesterday, as my first protest, then seeing the footage from Sydney... are weird and terrifying. I can see how fear works... gotta make sure to get out to the next one too! 010
Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 10/02/2026"Dinocon" is doing more than our police and governments... 000
Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 09/02/2026This is so fucking stupid... fuck the cops -.- 000
