Shit is bad in the video game industry. But that doesn't mean you just have to sit there and take it. Change is absolutely possible, but it requires that we be actively engaged You (yes, you specifically) are part of the solution. Join @videogameworkers.bsky.social and let's work on it together

Did you know you can go into your Steam store preferences and tell it to exclude entire tags? 😊 I remembered it was a thing today.

Hey #CypherSystem fans. Can someone help me understand Monte Cook's intent here? This is some poor editing... Is "Enhanced Might" a prereq for "Greater Enhanced"? Do they stack? replace? What about "Expert" v "Master" Cypher Use? Clearly those ones don't stack but it's not clear if it's a prereq...

Haven't had as much time as I'd like for #GMTK Game Jam 2026 today. School and work were both busy, but I DID manage to get some brainstorming done and a general idea of what direction I'm going! #GameDev #IndieDev #GameJam #VideoGames

I'm going to keep screaming this because the game deserves to be seen: If you love movement shooters, back Code RAPID! If you're not sure, then try the #Steam demo! www.kickstarter.com/projects/cod... store.steampowered.com/app/4841090/... #GameDev #IndieDev #ShooterGame #ActionGame #MechGame

Code RAPID

A third-person mecha action game that emphasizes high-mobility, deep customization, and dynamic, replayable combat.

Seriously folks, this game is fun af! I've already backed, and if you love movement shooters then this is the game! :D

Follow #IndieDev and Software Developers! I have a bold proposal for you, but one that is desperately needed if we want consumer to be heard. Start writing your software Linux-first. (cont.) /1

As an #IndieDev I’ve decided that I will not be using Steam DRM, and furthermore I will be offering physical CD/DVD/thumbdrives with my games and other software directly from my site when I get that far. Because fuck corporations and fuck capitalism.

Does anyone here know of a brand of KT Tape available in the USA that's both latex-free and acrylate-free, especially the glue? My wife is allergic and desperately needs a brand that stops causing burns on her skin :\ #disabled #disability #eds #kttape #ktape #kinesiology #allergy #allergies

Ok, I sort of get it now… I still think the HG plastic feels gross, but I think I’m understanding the two lines better. HG kits are buildable action figures and RG kits are posable models? And I feel like this is supported by how HG parts are interchangeable with Bandai’s 30 Minutes series figures?

ShadowDrakken @shadowdrakken.bsky.social · 28/06/2026

Doing my first HG Gundam kit after finishing several lovely RG kits, and... these things SUCK! Where's the frame? Why does the plastic feel so gross? It's like the difference between real LEGO and 90s knockoff LEGO. Bought two HGs by mistake, but never again, yikes

Just remap your OS to Linux. There's no longer any compelling reasons not to. There's very few apps that don't work, and those few that don't all have better (usually free) alternatives.

Apparently @outspokenunicorn.bsky.social has informed me that she did not ask for a pencil cup, but rather a pen cup… though it seems now I might have gone too far the other direction and ended up with a marker cup… hrmm #FreeCAD #Prusa #PrusaMini #3dPrinting

ShadowDrakken @shadowdrakken.bsky.social · 08/06/2026

@outspokenunicorn.bsky.social asked me to print her a “pencil cup” and was not specific, so I popped open #FreeCAD and whipped this up 😁 #3dPrinting #Prusa #PrusaMini

Welp… so much for accessible and comfortable shoes. Kizik is using AI for both voice and text customer service, and even if it wasn’t complete garbage customer service I still wouldn’t support the murder and ecological destruction. Time to find a new brand.

Anyone in Omaha (Chalco area) looking for a #TTRPG group? My wife and I are looking to build a table. I can GM and we have space to host. We don’t do D&D, but we do Pathfinder, Savage Worlds, Cypher System, GURPS, and half dozen other systems and always looking for more. LGBTQIA+ and bipoc welcome

#RetroGameConsole people! Does anyone know if there's a #Dreamcast mod for running my game backups from SD card, requires minimal alteration to the shell and PCB, and keeps the optical drive working? I've seen one for the #GameCube recently, and it'd be nice to not risk scratching up my discs. TY!

A side-by-side comparison of a pixel game menu where a text color swap has been applied to the BMP font. On the left, Chromium has rendered the color swap correctly. One the right LibreWolf (a Firefox fork) has only applied the color swap to random pixels.

Every time I’m working on a coding project I tell myself I should keep a dev log, but then every time I can’t figure out how to keep one 😵‍💫 I’m currently 9 weeks into a 10 week class and haven’t done a single log entry 😭

As a writer, if you use AI generated images in your book then you are granting open permission for anyone to copy and reuse YOUR work in any way they like as well. You can't plagiarize artists and then get upset when people do the same to you.

Any state asking children to do age verification is violating COPA laws Any state asking for age attestation or verification is eroding your constitutional right to privacy If software is prompting you for an age, put 100. If it's asking for a birth date, put Jan 1, 1960. Fk the surveillance state

Working on a twin-stick arcade game, but I’m at a loss as to what genre it falls in because it sort of changes depending on which character you choose 😅 This one is stealth and ambush, that one is melee boss rush, this other one is a bullet heaven… #GameDev #IndieDev #IndieGame

I'm sorry, but no, I will not be celebrating the Cult of Jesus running pagans out of Ireland. But that's okay, because 99% of you are just Americans using it as an excuse to drink and pretend like you're Irish (you're not) anyway.

Hey #IndieGame devs: how did you get started with your very first dev logs? I feel so awkward and unable to articulate things. Like my style of coding is haphazard and unstructured, despite the results. So I'm never quite sure what to say or how to organize my thoughts Tips appreciated! #IndieDevs

Ok, what am I missing here? Just listened to Gorillaz new album, and it is easily the WORST album ever to come out of that project :\ The music is boring af, doesn't say anything, and has no beat... Can't make out half of what 2D is singing because it sounds like he has a mouth full of pudding...

I need help identifying an #arcade game from my (admittedly crappy) memory... Cabinet was in the bowling alley in Building D at Offutt AFB in the late 80s. Vertical #shmup where instead of normal weapon upgrades, you cracked open bunkers and got new parts that docked onto your ship. /1

Hrm, sprite dimensions are largely based on hardware limitations of their era and the nature of binary data storage. But now that we're outside of those limitations and just recreating them artificially, why not odd-numbered dimensions? Why not 9x9 tiles? 9x15 character sprites? #IndieDev #PixelArt

Debating selling all of my Warhammer 40K minis. Necrons (>2.5k), Tyranid (~2.5k), Greyknights (~1k), Black Templar, Space Marines (going back to 2e), Sisters, Custodes, and a handful of Thousand Sons. Mostly assembled, mostly grey. Is there much of a market for this?

Pokemon fans are going to hate me, but you’re just playing Nintendo’s animal bloodsport game. It’s no different than FIFA or Madden. Same game every year, new roster, minimal meaningful changes, occasionally breaking beloved features. Year after year.
