BARTOLOMEO CRISTOFORI: Behold my new invention, a musical instrument that can play music soft or loud.

does anyone have deep knowledge of discord bots or is able to point me to resources about them? im toying with the idea of making a game run entirely by a discord bot you drop into an empty server

An old IWW poster showing a top-down view of hands washing dishes in the sink. It's captioned "MEN AND BOYS! REVOLUTION BEGINS IN THE SINK! Only when men take full responsibility for their share of the cooking, the cleaning, and the washing up... only then can they join with women, and together build a new work!!!"

this, to me, is still one of the hardest pieces of propaganda ever made

Big shoutout to the #VNDevWiki!

Iron's amazing work with #accessibility, attention to USEFUL preferences+styling, and user accounts โœจwithout the need to disclose emailsโœจ are all so nice to see.

Mexican corn on the cob with mayonnaise and hot sauce on a stick, also known as elote. A brown bird is perched on the stick, beak open, taking a bite of the corn.

Iโ€™ll soon be available for game design, creative direction, and consultancy opportunities while I develop my own projects. Iโ€™m also open to paid speaking engagements if you know of any!

If youโ€™d be willing to share/repost this, or just send a kind word, Iโ€™d truly appreciate it. Thank you! โ™ฅ

My only hot take on Switch 2 pricing is that we should all be paid more

that drive-by silksong reveal had me do a double take and i don't even. like i've never played hollow knight i have no horse in this race. but it was just a flash. and i said no. there's no way. and had to rewind. that's hilarious. honestly funniest thing nintendo's ever done

if it weren't for the grace of my roommate I never would've been able to play games like BG3, and I'm always thinking about how media access due to cost defines what media you can even access or engage with

side note: this screenshot perfectly illustrates one of my favourite things about mario kart; how absolutely everything in the tracks is intensely oversized, because you're always looking into the middle distance and readability wins over ground truth.

Weโ€™re super excited to announce our new game Donuts! Donuts! is a slapstick 3D driving/skating game meets food delivery.

You play as Mony, a first generation Cambodian-American, as she sets out to save her family's donut business through means of food trucks, radical tricks, and viral marketing.
