Even if it can't be your occupation, that doesn't mean you can't do it. Shit is bleak but at the very least you can make games for you if nothing else.

Platinum Medal Snake Fight let's goooooo

This damn snake is breaking me.

Luna @superamigacube.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Not the plat yet but I've finally reached the 20,000 mark. (Just 500 points, a couple of enemies, and a few seconds to go!)

Here's a crazy chain I pulled off in the training level's "Light Dragon Challenge"

Luna @superamigacube.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

The platinum medal for Serpent Strait is still driving me nuts but I am getting closer to it. Have to admit that despite it all, getting good at Lair has been really satisfying. Getting a good chain feels like you ascended to a higher plane of consciousness sometimes.

I genuinely detest how often SA gets brought up online and how bad we collectively are at talking about it. The ensuing PTSD is debilitating but it's dismissed if it's too inconvenient. Imagine living as a survivor and then tell me about fucking convenience.

Honorable mentions (that come to mind at the moment, anyway) are Jedi: Fallen Order and Cannon Fodder

Celeste: Further showed me how gameplay elements and game design can tell a story and how trans stories can be universal, further motivating me to tell my own. Another World: Showed me how organically you can tell a story with game design while keeping cutscenes very minimal

Luna @superamigacube.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Lair: Showed me that I can't just blindly follow the common consensus Eternal Darkness: Showed me how adjusting character stats can aid storytelling Pac-Man: Showed me how every decision matters and how games can bring people together.

Turrican 2: Shaped how I design games and compose music Rogue Squadron: Inspired me to make games PMW2: Shaped my music style and showed me that arcade sensibilities still have a place Mario 64: Showed me the power of interaction with space in a sandbox platformer setting

Luna @superamigacube.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

9 games that shaped who I am. Not perfect (first five games were far easier to pinpoint than the rest and I feel like film has influenced who I am and my game design sensibilities) but I feel this gives a good general idea

Going to a huge arcade filled with classic games was such a good reminder of how awesome video games are. I feel like a lot of us could use that right now

Me trying to figure out how to get 20,000+ carnage on Serpent Strait in Lair for the platinum

Luna @superamigacube.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

It's always weird hearing people rip into me for expecting game design decisions to compliment each other and work with each other towards a cohesive whole. I think people are so used to consuming media as part of a franchise that they take the 'staple' elements for granted and thus exempt them.

They're gonna pull the "I'm sorry" card but they're not gonna stop. They exist for the privileged, not the people in the firing line. Hypocrites.

I try not to talk about politics online too much, but it is incredible how little changes over time. HRC's history of throwing trans people under the bus is what pissed me off enough in 2013 to start writing the story for the game I'm making now. You'd think that'd age fast, but it clearly hasn't.

A reminder to Sony that it's not July 2027 yet. Can't back out of the page without pressing the PS button to exit the entire store.

Sorry to bring up the PS Store closures on PS3 (no i'm not), but has anyone else noticed that the search feature even in the US isn't working despite it not being time yet?

Star Wars: Rogue Squadron (also fav game period)

(In Patrick voice) I'm so close to that platinum medal, I can already taste it

In my (failed) attempts to get the platinum medals in Lair, I have discovered that this is an untapped speedrunning game. The devs know more speedrunning tips than the public at large. The shift to players knowing more strats has not happened yet after nearly 20 years. From the Strategy Guide:

What it's gonna feel like to be a game developer for a while:

Luna @superamigacube.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

I think a good example before that is the rock interpretation of Blinky in the Caldera in the main game. Yeah, the orchestration and style is completely different from the original, but that's the point. It not lining up perfectly with the OG or not being as punchy isn't going to matter as much.

Luna @superamigacube.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

For me, the highlight of Repac 2's OST is the post-game. I genuinely love a lot of the post-game remixes as opposed to the standard game's recreations. It's at its strongest when it's taking the original songs and doing new things with them.

Luna @superamigacube.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

Been playing Lair a lot lately for an upcoming video and my god this music is still mind-blowing. I usually stay away from making such declarative statements but genuinely one of the best video game soundtracks ever made full stop. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYFb...

Something my wonderful gf has been working on for a while. If you felt Pac-Man World 2 Repac should have had the original soundtrack as an option, here you go!

I'll be real, I completely forgot about gamescom this year until I heard people talking about it and how underwhelmed they were. Not that I'm expecting anything given the state of the industry.

It's always good when you're doing research/experiments for upcoming videos and the results of that research leave you feeling like you've either gone completely insane or entered a nightmare realm where nothing makes sense.

It's funny recording footage of Sonic Unleashed on PS3, watching it back and imagining an "Unregistered Hypercam 2" label in the upper right, except here it's no, it actually just runs like that.
