Nathan Fouts, ChainStaff is Out Now @mommysbestgames.bsky.social · 5h
I'm trying out something new in Unity with the Universal Render Pipeline (URP). Does it not have a "out of the box" additive blend material for a sprite? What am I missing? I just want a cool shot sprite (regular blend), with a hot glow sprite on top of that (additive).

SH2R - The original, unpatched version of the game on PS5 had an extended Dog ending. Here, James wants to shoot Mira, but she presses buttons to t-pose him and cycle through other character models until he resigns. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaUg...

Fun story: my (boomer) dentist who extracted my tooth was thrilled to discover I was a video game developer, asked me if I "worked on Fortnite", pitched a golf game idea to me, and did a Fortnite dance in the office much to the terminal embarrassment of my stepkid there for a wisdom tooth consult. 😁

WHAT?!?! I do not exaggerate when I say The Talisman is one of SK's least praised books that punches far above its (considerable, hehehe it's a fat book, Dear Reader) weight. It's a book I recommend to first time readers of both authors. The best of their work. Can't wait to read the final book.

Are You Kidding Me?
Can this Great Horned Owl's eyes get any bigger?
I'm excited that my photo "Are You Kidding Me?" was selected as one of just 43 finalists in the Nikon Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards, from more than 10,000 entries representing 112 countries!
The story behind it is just as crazy. I was photographing this seven-week-old owlet when a squirrel suddenly launched from a nearby branch and landed directly on its head, knocking both of them out of the tree.
And believe it or not, a squirrel knocked this same owlet out of the tree THREE TIMES that morning! Fortunately, the owlet was fine and eventually settled down next to its mother.

Nope, though that's correct for the M14, I'm talking about the "marksman rifle". It's in the room next to Wheeler in the Lair. It's implied that it's "his" rifle and the Order took it from him when they captured him. Though there's no name tag on it or anything. 😁

Justin Smith @odd-dimensions.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
Sewers is "underground" but ... It's sewers. 💤😴 Barely counts. Also I think (unless they changed it) the Lair is the only place you can get the long rifle? If you find the order key? So you get your gear back AND a fun bonus weapon.

Justin Smith @odd-dimensions.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
That's a great point. It's mostly Order cultists and a few monsters in the less populated areas iirc? I really love that puzzle. 😎 Fun fact: in the first implementation it was accidentally lined up in the correct configuration so if you just turned the outer ring 3x it would be solved. 🤣 Whoops!

This is (partially) a joke, but more seriously, I have actually found my game designs get better the more I reject conventional wisdom, and explicitly design around my personal strengths I just struggle to give that advice to novices because, weeeeell, your instincts aren't that good yet probably 😭

I think I mentioned to @rumininlove.bsky.social but I watched both Hostel films with commentary right before I did all the final level scripting / implementation and I really enjoyed how it turned out, despite it doing the "take all your weapons away" trope that gamers hate.

Justin Smith @odd-dimensions.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Hell Descent was my personal favorite. The levels in Homecoming have vibes or direct inspiration from Western horror films. I agree the boss battles are literally the best in all of SH. Maybe even across the genre.

A 7 panel comic by the artist. First panel: The artist is running from a distance towards a group of people playing basketball in the park. The artist is holding a pumpkin above their head and screaming "AAAAAAAAA". Second panel: The artist has leapt up and is in position to slam dunk the pumpkin into the basketball hoop. Panel three: the pumpkin splatters violently against the backboard of the basketball hoop, sending orange pumpkin goop everywhere. Panel four: the players stand staring, covered in pumpkin goop and shocked. Panel five: the artist stares at them wide-eyed, also covered in the goop and says "it's October FIRST". Their hand reaches towards their face. Panel six: the artist rips off their own face like a rubber mask to reveal a skeleton beneath. Panel 7: the group of players stand shocked and horrified, watching as the skeleton falls to the ground in a pile of bones, the sound effects says "CLATTER".

DD was incredible for capturing the "gifted but troubled kid from a middle class 90's family trapped in small town public school hell" perfectly. With a sci-fi horror twist, but the anti-establishment vibes are very strong. It's doing a lot. Reminds me of Stephen King's IT/ reboot.

It's just crazy, I have played some *trash* games in the past, games that came out in the same era, games with worse story, graphics, combat... everything! But they got less hate. 🤷 I blame it on the decline of Western civilization.

I genuinely disbelive people hate Homecoming as much as the vocal minority bitching and moaning about it would imply. It was a solid B rating at the nadir of its reviews. Haters want us to think it's a D-.

Mainstream games "journalism" - with a few exceptions - is just plausibly deniable marketing. They are not worried they'll be denied access because they'll miss a juicy story, they're worried because the company won't give them those as dollars. The juicy stories are all adversarial.
