look I know times are tough, things have changed, Polygon has to do what they have to do. But this headline is insane

The #PSBlackout begins tomorrow for one week in protest against Sony ending physical disc production. Many fellow physical collectors are realistic, and it's a protest of principle. Lot of silly takes online - I don't know why you'd be angry about a pro-consumer movement! 🤷‍♂️

I think the newest one already made the upgrade, or it at least seems that way. I have yet to buy one myself

My friends and I all care about each others’ lives and passions. I’m making my game mostly for them, so hopefully they still care by the end

I’m amazed at the constant stream of blunders we’ve seen in 2026. This is a shotgun spread to the foot if I’ve ever seen one.

The games industry: “We have to raise the price of everything because storage is expensive” Also the games industry: “We hope you have a ton of storage cause we’re getting rid of discs”

this tweet is almost 6 years old to the date. when will the games industry figure it out?

We’re supposed to play this on the worst screen we can find, right? (Mina the Hollower by @yachtclubgames.bsky.social, Steam Deck connected to a Zenith Sentry 2)
Mina the Hollower, an 8 bit pixel art action adventure game, is being played on a Zenith CRT TV). An orange cat can be seen pawing at the screen.

I’m on antidepressants, I wouldn’t at all say they “drug me into catatonia,” but I agree with the rest of this. The world wants to try anything to remove my depression, except rework the shitty systems that make me depressed.

I’m already taking this to heart when making Fakemon / Critters for my game, just spending time in nature and learning about real animals. I’d like to do it more for mechanics and design too - which is hard to reconcile with this thing being inspired by romhacks and challenge runs

In short- imagine if when Twitter went to shit, you could hop to a new app with better features, better filtering. You’d keep your follows and could still see tweets but tune things to your liking.

It’s going to help the social part long term. The promise of Bluesky is not Bluesky the app itself. It’s ATProto / Atmosphere. It means your posts aren’t confined to just Bluesky. ANYONE can make their own app to be a better Bluesky but see the same content. This is the first major app like that

These thoughts are supported in part by: Yet another Github outage

Dylan @dylbyl.com · 04/05/2026
Copilot is literally advertised on how much it speeds up dev and review time. It blows my mind that they didn’t prepare for how that would impact their own infrastructure. True “shove a stick in my own bike wheel” behavior.

Dylan @dylbyl.com · 04/05/2026
Look. I’m not against AI as a coding tool (very anti-AI for anything else though). But Github is blaming their recent outages on an explosion of growth due to AI code, while also selling a sub to their own AI product, while also struggling to make said product profitable.

“Would you rather have an imaginary code friend that can give you wrong answers to your Google searches, or a normal priced PS5?” PS5 thanks. “Hold on now, what if we had it make bad uncanny valley porn? Does that sweeten the deal? Cause for us there’s a clear winner.”

The line about “games aren’t art, they’re children’s books” is the wildest comparison to me. Even if that were true, children’s books can still be art? They can still have a meaning, teach you something, make you feel. A game being simple or “just fun” doesn’t mean it’s not art / saying anything

to be clear, I don’t think Browt is gonna evolve into a superhero. I started drawing a blanket, but since he’s an energetic chick, it also made sense for him to wear it as a cape and play pretend.

I tried my hand at redoing Browt and Pombon. Not great but the real designs feel just a little lacking

Dylan @dylbyl.com · 27/02/2026
I like all three starters, but I also feel like they’re too simple. Mainly this one and the bird. It’s like looking at old beta designs for some Pokemon before they got one final iconic trait added
