It's lovely that the second I start following a bunch of game dev folks I get bombarded with follows by engagement farming bot accounts. After the initial deluge I'm getting around four "follows" a day.

Genuinely furious at Australia right now. The government here just pushed through a hasty bill banning social media for under 16s, ignoring expert advice and over a thousand submissions against the ban from the community. Naturally, there's no explanation of how socmed should verify age. #AusPol

Without context, I honestly thought this was a TWEWY style split screen game and spent far too long trying to figure out how the controls worked… I concluded it must be a co op game. …then I read the text! 😅

As I’ve been saying for over a year: If your business model doesn’t work without violating the law, you’re not in business — you’re in organized crime. Great reporting by @elainelow.bsky.social. theankler.com/p/tv-writers...

I recently replayed Black and I was shocked at how terrible its options menu is. We've come a long way as an industry, but all of that progress cost (and still costs) increasing amounts of time and money. (Actually, think of the increasing timelines of indie games too - time is money is too true!)

Foodstuff @foodstuff.bsky.social · 24/11/2024

To be clear; I don't blame them, to a degree. We live in a society and it's hard to make games and eat when there's no money.

…focus testing their games into a bland paste so they "appeal" to the biggest audience and therefore can recoup their costs. I often speculate that publishers and devs grind their games "one notch lower" just to be sure.

Foodstuff @foodstuff.bsky.social · 24/11/2024

Uh, yes? There’s nothing like playing a classic “good” game and noticing the rough edges and barbs that would be filed off even at an indie level these days. And conversely, non-indie scale games have become so expensive to make that publishers force their studios to play it safe…

Name a game with a 10/10 soundtrack "Instrument of Surrender" gives me chills every time I hear it. It sets the tone better than any text could (and damn if they didn't come close in that department too).

The modern video game industry is a f***ing mess. Maybe it corrects, maybe it doesn’t. It’s weird to even think the latter, but no industry is invincible and everything eventually comes to an end. It’s a bloodbath right now, with no resolution in sight.

I am a little heartbroken about Eurovision turning out to just be pro-genocide. I always loved the show, but handwaving the forced starvation of millions and the murder of almost 40,000 people is unacceptable. Boycott it is.

From “technically it isn’t fascism” to “technically it wasn’t an insurrection” to “technically it’s not a genocide,” our intellectuals are really making a bold show of their commitment to sophistry and semantics above any meaningful confrontation with the realities of their time.

No, you see, an insurrection can only be called an insurrection if it happens in the Insurrection province of France. Otherwise it’s just sparkling mob violence.
