Silent Hill 2 had key cutscene moments where the camera just cinematically pans around with no dialogue, lingering on a vibe, and the remake cut them out. Standards have changed that much.

If you're in MA, show up tomorrow and vote against Seth Moulton, who's trying to fail upwards after burning every bridge here in his home district.

Jonathan Blow's real crime is putting those audio logs from The Witness in his new game. I'll always remember the moment I first discovered that trying to turn them off just restarts playback from the beginning.

Huh. Two famous fishermen from my hometown. Have they ever been seen in the same place at the same time?

I was nervous about comparing Kane Parsons (The Backrooms) to David Lynch, but now Variety is doing it, so I'm very smart actually.

Former digital commons advocate Joseph Gordon-Levitt was suckered by far-right lobbyists into attacking Section 230, and now claims his critics are "confused". Very disappointing. Is the ACLU also confused?

It says a lot about superhero comics that I'd never heard of Darwyn Cooke and his amazing work. Batman: The Animated Series really saved DC for a generation despite their best (and continuing) efforts.

Really neat to see indie horror games getting adapted into movies! Games have become the native medium of high-concept horror.

Silksong feels... about how I expected playing as a miniboss to feel. After several hours I still have no idea where the hitbox is.

Yeah, I only figured out this was turned off after using Godot for a year and a half. It's buried in the material settings under "Sampling" (section 20), in a dropdown called "Filter", which has the default value "Linear Mipmap". Simply switch that over to the LAST OF SIX OPTIONS!

One of my favorite things about going from Unity to Godot so far is the absolute whiplash of making a build for the first time. Exporting a Godot project creates two files. One is a single pack file with your entire game in it The other is a single .exe file with the entire Godot engine in it.

Is "foilage" a meme, or do people actually think that's the word? It's foliage, as in defoliation. I get it, leaves are flat, like foil, but no. Fol-i-age.

I'm very concerned that Boro from #Wanderstop might be named after borosilicate glass, and is actually a teapot. Spoilers?

trickster721.bsky.social @trickster721.bsky.social · 14/03/2025

Man, #Wanderstop is a weird one. Towards the end, playing it starts to feel like having a beautiful dream about a game that never existed. It's like somebody explaining their idea for a perpetual motion machine, and for a moment, you can see it too.

Disco Elysium dev Argo Tuulik, lead writer of Cuno and many other characters, is asking for help to fight off non-compete threats from Longdue Games, who were previously courting him to work on their successor project. DE is apparently catnip to narcissistic business jerks.

If π is the diameter of a circle, why is the circumference measured in radians instead of diameters, making you multiply π by 2 everywhere? Just use the radius as the constant. This is why people hate math.

Wow, by lowering the length (draw distance) of Godot's volumetric fog, you can get a really crisp effect with good performance. Technically there's nothing stopping you from recreating the opening cloud scene from Black Myth: Wukong using this system. #godot #godotengine #gamedev

Needed Disco Elysium style dialog for a hobby project, luckily they posted a nice promo article for the dialog management software they used, called Articy Draft. Eventually I was able to recreate the basic concept in Godot. #godot #godotengine #gamedev
