If you're serious about game development or design, PLAY OLD GAMES I can't overstate how many good ideas are sitting there waiting to be discovered. Sometimes it's not even stuff that was there at the time, it's only there now looking from a modern perspective.

honestly I think if the army gets to livestream an execution by firing squad, Bluesky mods should be a little less uptight about people saying they wish billionaires would be a little less alive

US military to livestream firing squad execution of Fort Hood shooter
Washington (United States) (AFP) - The execution by firing squad of convicted military base shooter Nidal Hasan will be livestreamed, a Pentagon official said Thursday, after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said it would be carried out in "public."
Issued on: 09/10/2026 - 00:16

idk man is this where I tell the tale of the weird-ass Double Fine art director that came at me on here because I said "juniors: if a job takes you 30 minutes, no it doesn't, it took you 2 hours"?

Had to stop by the mural. Still miss you goat. Etika inspired me as a creator, but he also reminds me to take care of myself. The internet can be cruel, and dark thoughts creep in. He taught me not to let them win, and to choose love over hate. Hope the same for all of you ❤️

The puritan "no porn history allowed" mindset of anime-inspired western art is so funny to me cos' you'll read about the most prolific anime artists of Japan and it'll be like "Yeah, she started her career selling hardcore incest doujinshi at Comiket."

Someone just reblogged this on tumblr with this tag and I just fucking died I've been on this shit for over a decade and it's only getting worse

written about this before but whatever.

Videogames as an artform have a problem with nostalgia. Not that people shouldn’t have nostalgia. Or that games shouldn’t draw from the past. But instead the weight we give to nostalgia.

When people go back to enjoy old games, we assume it’s a nostalgia thing. Do people assume that with books? Or movies? Or music? People certainly do go back in time with those mediums for nostalgia! It happens! I know when my sister is listening to certain cheesy old boyband pop or punk she’s often having a musical nostalgia trip! That’s cool! But we still don’t ASSUME, CONSTANTLY thats why people go back to stuff.

People like old stuff because it’s cool and interesting. It’s historic. People go watch Metropolis still, but how many people alive could even be nostalgic for a movie like that?

I almost want to see the word Nostalgia excised from discussions about video games – not because nostalgia is bad but because we over use it to the point where it’s actually harmful I think.

I mean I made IWBTG and am making an NES style game right now and even for me, the obsession with ‘nostalgia’ seems crazy.

Old stuff is cool. I know this because I see a lot of you kids on my tumblr feed talking about games I know you didn’t grow up with. It’s like finding your parents record or CD collection. Thinking the primary greatness of old games is bringing back memories of eating cereal and playing games on a saturday morning is a great injustice, even if those memories for some are perfectly worthwhile things.

i rewatched The Matrix trilogy recently and could not help but laugh when i saw each movie had a different production logo. they were all released within four years, with the second and third movie released in the same year!

Scholastic sent me a whole box of paperback copies of Sorcerer’s Stone that I sure didn't order. When I asked why, my rep told me they're sending complimentary giveaway copies to random schools that do Book Fair.

It's vibe coded, meaning any issues you run into (there will be many) while playing will never be fixed because they don't know why any of them are there

people assuming his survivor is really upset right now and that may be true but if I'd spent years holding my tongue while my abuser prospered because I didn't want to be responsible for destroying his life and then it got destroyed without me lifting a finger that wouldn't necessarily suck for me

generally, publicly admitting to a felony you never did time for is called "getting away with it," but apparently getting fired over it is "supporting the carceral model of justice"

Hard agree - if a claimant files a takedown/copyright strike on however many hundreds of channels but NEVER files suit, they get their right to claim revoked. End of. If there's a strike system for us the same should apply for claimants as well.

Jacob Geller has proven he cares more about a dent to his income than actually atoning for his assault. For all the cries about restorative justice, do these type of actions demonstrate he has actually changed? If many of us knew he had done this, we would have never supported his channel at all.

I'm sharing this as a mea culpa, because it turns out this game was coded with Claude, a fact that is reasonably difficult to track down for a piece that was intended as nothing more than a quick, fun "hey look at this" kind of thing.

i was a total chicken shit until i was around 12 when i first played the original bioshock. after that game, re revelations, and some atmosphericly spooky games like doom 2016, i got really into resident evil when i was 16, and now i LOVE horror.

ok, lets go with - chicken shit answer (i was maybe 3 years old at my babysitter's house, it was like i was scared but not like, *frightened* - actual answer (i had to ask my dad to come in to get past it for me) - actual full piece of media (i was so unsettled but loved playing it in spite of that)
