..then we show up in person, slide into dms, jump in a call and start chattin. I'm spinning decades of modding, hacking, devving.. And they reply "insert nothing here" They will get clocked instantly as soon as it matters or are surrounded by actually serious people.

The best thing about Yoshis Island is that it existed and we got to experience it, AND it taught us to not accidentally drop babies into water or lava. Which is a valuable life skill.

Side side note: when deciding whether to encrypt saves we decided not to, specifically so they COULD hack it if they REALLY wanted. Adds replay, fun, creativity, and don't HAVE to do the very specific out of game save edit right? STILL had people demanding they should be encrypted.. For reasons..

Everything is contracts, temporary gigs, fly in fly out, and completely removes any power from the actual creative work force while providing just the worst returns and results.. Because it's not actual design, or engineering, or creativity. It's GAMBLING.

Theres too much focus on just getting a budget, not sustainable growth. It's about the up front to contract the project over the line, hoping to break even while praying for a improbable viral hit. It's not design, it's gambling, and only works if you have infinite credits. #indieDev #gameDev

almost all of the safety nets and services have been privatised, and are run by profiteering monsters who treat peoples misery as somethng to profit off of. treat humans as numbers to be rounded up or down depending on what they need to hit KPI's. this country is pathetic boys club.

australias free health care requires money and being in the right cities, if you are in any way rural or remote you get left to hang. im in daily pain, got told by someone paid to help me other week "mate youre too poor and too rural" then closed my case. not all in this country have rights.

Austerity, tax cuts, and corpo hand outs, all they've got. Not leaders, capital owners. And that hate campaign feels global and across everything atm. It's really intense, divisive and suffocating. Got communities tearing at eachother terrified of the pain being brought down.

THE player? I try to not think about it let alone attempt communication, not since the incident in Game #424. That poor intern was turned to mist, and they're still trying to get the smell out. No one's to blame, its obviously not aware of its actions, but still.. I try to keep it in my periphery.

So cruel. No, don't tackle the corruption and actual issues costing the nation REAL money and resources.. Instead let's endlessly punch down while white collar criminals and boys clubbing nepo babies take us for all we've got.. 'Land of the fair go'. Real big serious minds we got leading us huh?

I think this is one of their best and important videos. it's terrifying the lack of guard rails or accountability. this level of absurdity belongs on r/NoSleep, not in a commercial product being marketed as an open and safe tool that even kids should use. demon land, we live in demon land.

Classrooms didn't work. Distros did. Need to manage our own data again. Need to unashamedly steal. Not even to rip or remix. They are burning libraries. We need to lock it down, back it up, send it over the wire. Steal it before they raze it. You're right, THIS is OUR world. Hack the planet.

First that fits for me is Fantastic Dizzy. Always called it a 'Puzzle Platformer' or 'Puzzle Adventures'. My mums would always be like "Oh no, not the violent ones, what about a puzzle platformer!"

I'm going through late diag for asd, old enough that 'the cane' was a thing in Qld to grade four. When bullies bullied me, I often got sent alongside them to be punished for 'causing trouble'. Then they hit you. Big tough men, hit small vulnerable children, with canes. What pathetic monsters.

Calculators allow users to directly access and navigate a measurement system. It offers accessibility, it aids navigation, you still have to form the path and know the rules. AI spits out something that appears to be the product of actual processing/reason but is just vibes. Often vibes of vibes.

Mine came through as a PRESIDENTIAL ALERT and for a moment I was relieved thinking the raptures were finally here, but no, just a test.

..why am I receiving a "PRESIDENTIAL ALERT"? I live in Straya. We have a prime minister. We still have a king for stupid reasons that make no sense but.. Shouldn't at the very least this be a PRIME MINISTERS ALERT or KING'S DECREE? #aUSAlert?

Yo hear about Shakespeare demanding skill checks to get in the Globe and only the 'hardcore' were even allowed to watch because THAT'S how you share culture.. The entire debate around 'accessibility' vs 'hardcore' is the stupidest most fragile shit ever. Accessibility = better product. Always.

Ofc. Don't worry all the bros who want their games to be 'pure' will overjoice that vast swathes of people won't be able to enjoy media. This has been the campaign right? Hate filled punching down? Games are better when accessible BECAUSE THEY ARE MEDIA MADE TO BE ACCESSED YOU MORONS.

Devs on N64 really went wild with that sort of thing to massive effect, and it's still really common. Lots of pool/snooker games use it on the balls I think.

Navigating a health care system set in gaslighting you sure is a hoot, spesh if you're poor. They have no resources/pathways so they jam you in a box to fit what they do have.. Which is wrong. It's evil wrong.

Third option looks fluid, and will probably make the game feel more responsive/navigatable. I like to think of players who have sunk lots of time, either curious, lost, replaying, making media, etc.. and almost always go with making it more accessible.

started when the first creature decided they wanted their fellow creatures free labour/free will. so they rolled over and promised "hey that's a real nice soul you got there, what if I promised you infinite EVERYTHING FOREVER?" and enough rubes fell for it and took hold of the bag for all of us.

Yeah legit interested to know as well, I think there is general gatekeeping around any government auditing process, but my gut thinks it will be more prevalent than usual on this topic. And thanks for not just speaking up but demanding your name be recorded, it's badass, and it matters.

Accessing systems and being heard requires jumping through hoops to have your rights respected. Hoops that always push in a direction that lines up with an overarching agenda. To silence, deny, and refuse accountability. By design. Someone made the hoops. That's systemic violence imo.

It’s so frustrating to see every creative industry in shambles right now because it’s not for lack of shows, movies, games, books, comics, etc making money. People are hungry for human made art! The greed of others is killing our creative careers.

If its producing quality content, consistently, leading to production, that should lead to profit. Why are we not seeing this technology being exploited/where are all the production and profit reports? Why are we not seeing locked down workflows and tooling that will result in the above?

What should scare him is how much he has failed given the giant swag of credits he got handed after fumbling their way into fortnite. He is an absolute clown with no real ideas who throws money he lucked into at problems he does not understand.

A lot of words to say the same amount of nothing while refusing to engage with what I said.. Im the one burying my head asking valid questions about the productivity of tools promised several years ago at GREAT expense? Why is asking about production/profit so bad? Does it spoil the snake oil?
200
Ragical @ragical.bsky.social · 25/06/2026
Nope, just asked for substantive 'anything' rather than hype promising what's coming in two weeks. To summarise: they are shy; it's a secret; negative vibes are killin it for everybody. That's why no one can show productivity or profits, because people ask valid questions.

Ragical @ragical.bsky.social · 25/06/2026
Every choice Sweeney has made has been wrong, just bailed out by endless bags of money they lucked their way into. And they NEVER finished the original Fortnite they asked players to back the dev of.. That's epic. Wildcard shit factory rippin off tweens and acting like any of its by design.

Ragical @ragical.bsky.social · 25/06/2026
They had a line of failed games their players hated, then made fortnite which they also failed at, before smashing a battle Royale mode on (which was the style at the time) and essentially winging themselves culturally relevancy by pure arse. Only thing they did was have enough bets to make.

Ragical @ragical.bsky.social · 25/06/2026
So they have a way of making lots of money and just won't talk about it because shyness. But will continue hyping shit was already meant to have happened. You're saying they 'could' produce more/higher quality/less cost but they are too embarrass. Rightio.
