"Really pretty girl who inexplicably hasn't been treated with bare minimum human kindness before" is a weird trope in anime but only cause they insist on doing it with straight cis girls

Acabo de aprender que Willyrex es tambien el nombre de un actor de los aรฑos 60, y no solo un youtuber (que supongo esta llamado por el). My infancia ha cambiado irre-como-sea-esta-palabra.

Once I failed a puzzle in Paper Mario and the Origami King several times in a row and got to see how it become more baby mode every time until it held my hand through it. It is one of my greatest gamer shames.

I was reminded now when I almost died enough in a Deltarune boss to be put in baby mode.

In the same vein, I quite like doodling even if my art isnโ€™t the best.

Redditor asking:
How is it possible to compete with older roguelikes?
I'm currently learning in deep details and following a book, so I'm hopeful about this but I get this feeling like "What's the point of making a roguelike when there is already a bunch of them that have been in developement for more than 10 years"
Like it's gonna be impossible as a new roguelike developer to be successful or even have people play your game, can you guys prove me wrong? what are the newer success stories?

I've been trying to get back into reading, and I finished reading a novel for the first time in a long time! (Bury your Gays by Chuck Tingle, super good book highly recommend it).

Feeling pretty happy ^-^
Gonna try taking on light books for now, but I do have a copy of House Of Leaves staring at me

Correct me if I'm wrong, but @passivestar.bsky.social is the biggest Godot-user account on Bluesky, right?

Realized I'm on trajectory to surpass that soon, so follow @passivestar.bsky.social for more on #godot, #blender and 3D #gamedev.

You know what cats eat? That's right, mice. So is it a coincidence all the catboys/girls all use Linux, the anti-computer-mouse OS? Don't think so.

If you see someone using Linux, it is because they ate their mouse, no matter what else they say. Case closed.

Crossing my fingers that @orteil42.bsky.social goes to Gamescom in August so I can fulfill my dream of meeting the funny Cookie man. Maybe give him a cookie, try to see if I can influence him to add a Spanish cookie to Cookie Clicker, who knows

Screenshot of Mr. Tenna's first line of dialogue in Deltarune Chapter 3. The word "AMAZING" is set in Cast Iron by West Wind Fonts. The type is purple with a rainbow gradient, surrounded by fireworks and confetti.

Screenshot from the end of Mr. Tenna's VHS tape in Deltarune Chapter 3. It reads "Mr. (Ant) TENNA'S TV TME!!!" Fonts used are Dayposter, Airstream, and Ed Roman. "TIME!!!" and the TV logo are custom designs.

I'm so happy to share I contributed some art to Deltarune Chapter 3 in the form of Tenna's word art + the TV Time logo!!

I had SO many type design inspirations, but special shout-outs to Typodermic Fonts, House Industries, Rocky & Bullwinkle, Paper Mario, and Adventureland Resort in Des Moines, IA.

Just experienced a lil comedy of errors.
Stayed up late to finish a school assignment, spilled water on an outlet extender by accident (and dried it best I could), then later minutes after I plugged my laptop into it, power goes out. Just in my room. Caused a short circuit.

Oops.

Our feature artist/reference for today is this WONDERFUL page on how to draw WINGS by the talented @jenndeut! I love a model sheet like this, which actually explains WHAT the different wing types DO, not just HOW they LOOK! So useful! #gamedev #animationdev #conceptart #manga

When I was a kid growing up in Spain, I missheard a friend of mine and thought Fallout 3 was called Pharaoh for years.

This might be the least interesting fun fact I have shared here so far

Gerbil Space Program by Gerbil Space Program, OnFireAxe, Petra Wagemakers, Gamian, duckasick Speedrun trough space as a hamster!

I did't work on this game, but a friend of mine did and I legitimately love it so I'm sharing it here for whoever may be interested.

It is a micro-speedrunning game where you are a hamster in a ball, running through levels of Mario Galaxy planets :3

Blind Faith by Sleepdevrived PSX Horror Game inspired by doomed cults and Gothic Americana.

My newest game is out! Blind Faith is a short PSX-Style horror adventure game about doomed cults and gothic Americana.

20 years ago, a cult vanished. Search for a missing person in their old house.
But watch out. The cultists are gone, but something remained.
