Lavandris @lavandris.bsky.social · 09/10/2026So being mean to computer is a human rights violation but being mean to humans is free speech. We're officially past the point of what the writers of Idiocracy considered believably stupid. 071
Lavandris @lavandris.bsky.social · 08/10/2026"Your FOMO should come second to someone else's humanity" REALLY upsets some people 020
Lavandris @lavandris.bsky.social · 08/10/2026It is increasingly asking people to confront why they're doing what they're doing. "I want to make a game, but I can't be bothered to learn code, or art, or music, or VA, those all take too much time." So you're just checking a box? Why? To say you did something without any effort? What's the point? 060
Lavandris @lavandris.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I like (read: hate) how he literally says "yeah I don't care about this aspect of my game" 010

Lavandris @lavandris.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I can't *believe* I forgot Chants. One of my favorite games of all time. The only reason I didn't include Obra Dinn is because I figured they knew that one already 110

Lavandris @lavandris.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Rats! I appreciate that it's a major pain, especially right now. Will keep my eyes open if that changes! 000
Lavandris @lavandris.bsky.social · 03/09/2026"I applied paint to a canvas, and there's something really satisfying about shaping light and color. Now, I'm not painting, I'm just representing the things I see." Good thing a creator can't control how people interpret their work. It's a political game, whether they say it is or not. 020
Lavandris @lavandris.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Honestly in this era of AI, give me a million cartoony platformers made by human hands and I'll celebrate that the art form is alive and well 000
Lavandris @lavandris.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Murals and Mariachi Legends were the two that really caught my eye. Standout visual styles have much more impact this year, it seems 120
Lavandris @lavandris.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Garbage from a random noise generator. Not romantic, not cozy, not gemütlich, not human. Lazily picked from a pile of shit to fail at fulfilling whatever kind of connection you were hoping for 030

Lavandris @lavandris.bsky.social · 20/08/2026"Woke politics" as if his generation wasn't the one that put PSAs at the end of every cartoon in the 90s so kids had good models of maturity and politeness. 🙄 Real answer: Bioshock? Game 1 you're exploring a dead city, in Infinite you lead a rebellion. Def not what he meant, but literally true. 030

Lavandris @lavandris.bsky.social · 19/08/2026That's probably right around the line. An unknown dev and a game I might enjoy? Probably not. Evil Trout or Lucas Pope's next offerings? Happily twice that 100
Lavandris @lavandris.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Goddam, Epic is really synonymous with hot dogshit, huh? 000
Lavandris @lavandris.bsky.social · 19/08/2026I've started comparing games to hardback books, particularly indie titles. $15-20 is totally fair for something that'll occupy a chunk of my time for a week or so, especially if that money isn't going to a mega-corp 120
Lavandris @lavandris.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Ordering enough for a few days of leftovers is exactly how pizza should be ordered, that's why they made it taste so good fresh, cold, or reheated 011
Lavandris @lavandris.bsky.social · 13/08/2026This means that pro-AI devs who recognize that it's a black mark for their sales will be cheating on the disclosures. If the game has a lengthy pre-release, they'll only disclose on full release, or they'll use it all the way through development, but draw over final assets, etc. 020
Lavandris @lavandris.bsky.social · 13/08/2026We need "I have all that I need" and/or "I have enough" as cultural values STAT. 080
Lavandris @lavandris.bsky.social · 11/08/2026If you don't mind scary shows, Mike Flanagan's work usually has something poignant to say about death. Midnight Mass, Midnight Club, and Life of Chuck have some especially beautiful writing around death and dying that have helped me with the dread spiral 000
Lavandris @lavandris.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Ok but if Bobbery Baggins is the real name of that real dog I'm prepared to die for him 010

Lavandris @lavandris.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Which is more impactful, buying the game with the 10% release week sale or buying it at full price a bit later? 111
Lavandris @lavandris.bsky.social · 05/08/2026So much this. The loving handcraft came through so beautifully in Tangle Tower that I bought MM on day one. Looking forward to what's next from you all 010
Lavandris @lavandris.bsky.social · 04/08/2026An artist never owes their audience anything. I think real fans of his have accepted that we may never get Winds of Winter, but it'll be finished when the author says it is. Shoutout to Rothfuss' Doors of Stone, too. It's been 15 years 010

Lavandris @lavandris.bsky.social · 18/07/2026Anyone gatekeeping fandom in any respect can just be ignored. Obviously playing a game is a different experience than watching it, but all experience is subjective anyways so who cares 040
Lavandris @lavandris.bsky.social · 17/07/2026One of the great things about international sport is the opportunity to be exposed to cultures from all over the world, and to give the host country a spotlight to showcase what they're all about.
