Don't worry, I'm not planning on paying for their space suits or a working toilet in the capsule or anything

I tried recording a video about JS in GameMaker, I'd say it's going pretty well

when i think of your brand "step-by-step blowout tutorial" is definitely the first thing i think of

I think this is a situation where most of us already knew, and the people on the far-right dont actually care as long as their guy wins :V

I'd have to take a census of all of the software that I use, but there's much less tying me to windows now than there was 3-4 years ago. right now the biggest question seems to be how well Davinci Resolve behaves on non-nvidia GPUs...

There's also a pretty good chance I'll be at the GameMaker/NYU playtest event the next day. If you can't make it to the event, the playtest demo will be live on Steam later this week, it has a few fixes, some improved visuals, and a new puzzle area to explore: store.steampowered.com/app/2769920/...

Unless something goes horribly wrong, I'll be presenting Wizarducks at Game-A-Palooza in Brooklyn tomorrow (...today?) afternoon! If you're in the area, come say hello! #gamedev #indiedev

in a now-typical Torment Nexus move, they really looked at dead internet theory and said "that's a great idea, we should make it happen"

and also all of the prizes are worthless garbage and nobody wants them, but the slot machine companies promise that they'll change the world and we don't want to be left behind

Michael 🐉 @dragonitespam.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

all of the big companies are already having AI write emails that nobody wants to write, and then have AI read the same emails because nobody wants to read them either, so i suppose i shouldn't be surprised that they can't even tell the difference

There was a period when Nora was in middle school when she was obsessed with Pi and could recite it to 30 digits and so of course when she saw this strip she knew what she had to do.

imo it says a lot more about the accuser than the thing being accused, but hey ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

right but thanos left 50% of everything alone, which is still 50% more of the republican party than i want to see

from a quick scan of the page, it's just the latest in a long line of phrases meaning "anything the speaker doesn't like" this time with a dash of anti-semetism

can they really be out of ideas if they never had any ideas in the first place?

In Mario Kart Wii, asphalt is slightly shiny, reflecting a band of light ahead of the player. This is implemented cleverly by leveraging something that the Wii is already doing, allowing it to not need to use any sort of additional lighting or post-processing.

okay but i'm a game designer, which means the straightforward applications of the Kill-Me-Instantly knife arent very interesting the edge cases and the unanticipated uses of the Kill-Me-Instantly knife are what's interesting

Michael 🐉 @dragonitespam.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

but all of the other parts are fair game, right? (this may be why i have a hard time making friends)

Michael 🐉 @dragonitespam.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

okay but as long as you feel cozy when you explode people

...all right maybe i *should* actually wait until i have a Switch 2 before i get around to playing this

for the record I'm one of the people who think Dead Internet Theory became reality several years ago. thanks for making everything life worse in every way, LLMs

Hey GameMaker gang we're cooking up more stream plans and we'd love to do a Q&A answering as many of your questions as we can. So fire over your questions and keep your eyes peeled for the stream announcement!

...I just realized that something is missing from this image, and then I went and checked and apparently this comic came out on the very same day the usb-c spec was published

there's going to come a day when "caring about why things work vs just wanting to crap out something you can take credit for" makes more of a difference in your life than anything else, and dear god i hope that day comes soon bsky.app/profile/drag...

nah, I've run into countless people online who seem to be determined to argue with me even when I'm agreeing with them like this. reddit seems especially bad, but I see them in other places too. I wonder what these people do in real life. I don't feel like they'd be very good at real life.

It's a shame those underwater data center projects never went anywhere. Anyway I'd like to propose putting them here and here, too.

Michael 🐉 @dragonitespam.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

believe it or not i do actually have gameplay in mind for this

Michael 🐉 @dragonitespam.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

i need to post more of what we've been up to in here. anyway so ive been waiting the entire game for an excuse to use one of the "elastic" animation curves

though they're ultimately just pouring money into the channels i watch for no possible gain, so it sucks to be them really ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
