So, I need a job. I’ve done a lot of work in my 40 years. I’ve operated, I’ve managed, I’ve client supported. I’ve prototyped, playtested, and photographed. I’ve drummed and even made a couple of kids. Kept them alive.

And when he fired up his game about his hopes and dreams, he saw that it was about him telling a chatbot to make a game about his life. That’s when Nikita realized he’d made his request in… The Twilight Zone

X post reads: Hello computer.
Decompile and distill Grand Theft Auto.
Make the game set in my hometown -- use Google Earth to reconstruct it in pixel-perfect detail.
Make the character me and have my spawn point be in the mansion I always look at on Zillow.
Review my chat memory and make every mission about my hopes and dreams.
Make it playable online so my friends can join.
When you're done, sell all my video games on Ebay and use that money to fund tokens for my next game.

"Surely this simple game does not need reviewing" right before one of the 6 game rules is printed wrong

Degen Chalker Snarl @davethegame.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

This was for Get Bit, which would go on to get picked by multiple other publishers, none of whom would let me review the rulebook (or box) for errors before they went to print. Even despite the history.

Yeah, I think so. I think TC had a better result than I did though.

I know this is a "shitting post" but I legit had a publisher print 2-6 players on my game for 4-6 players. I had to scramble to come up with 2 and 3 player rules that ended up being not very good. I would later revisit and revise those rules and upgrade them to "OK"

It was after that where I heard this joke: "How do you make a small fortune running a game store?" "Start with a large fortune"

In the early 2000s I went to a game store in Ohio that had movie props in cases and the Lord of the Rings playing on iMacs on a loop, and it turns out the owner was a movie producer and just wanted to have a cool game store, and I still admire that a lot.

hey all, just a heads up to my artist peers- this is all AI slop, I would avoid this. It isn't adobe code, it's just vibecoded to emulate their features.

My high school was too poor to host one for the 20th, so some classmates organized one at a park where you could toss in money to buy fried chicken. I passed on attending.

I think there’s a chance we’ll still get Viv Vision, though they have really let the other Young Avengers languish.

Just heard #PaxUnplugged is going full Human Made. Proud of em, it's my favorite gaming con. And it's nice to know they'd prefer to present the works of real creative human beings. That's one less sign booths need to make, but if you'd like to anyways, here's a free icon hinokodo.itch.io/human-made

I remember the vocal crybabies on the Magic LotR set too, and then the set went on to be their bestselling ever at the time 🤷‍♂️

It's very easy to clown on this, but like many of the silly renaming exec orders, this actually costs millions of dollars worth of federal manpower to execute on. So, thanks, party of fiscal responsibility.

Who says they “don’t make enough money”? Compared to what? You don’t need to grant the far right authoritarian party’s premise. You can write that they’re using arbitrary numbers based on no standards that should not be taken seriously, & you can just say that plainly instead of stenographizing

Having written a TV show built on "deep dives on one bad rich guy per week" with one version 2008-2012 and another 2021-2025, I'll say that the OG evil rich guys were evil greedy assholes, and the new rich guys are mentally disordered perverts, and so do evil. And not the good kind of perverts.
