“Ethically rather mean-spirited” has aged like the finest wine as a critique of the material and its creator

I know we’re like two weeks out from GDC but I gotta say it. I don’t like top 50 radio hits playing outside of the Moscone center. it should be video game banger after video game banger. Simple and Clean and then Big Iron

in stars and time screenshot. isabeau, a trans man, says "the kid i was is still here! i just, hm, grew around them? to protect them?"

isabeau: "building an armor, until it becomes the real thing?"

"so i could become someone strong, someone outgoing... someone comforting to be around."

"im here, is what i mean! and i love myself so much more now than i did before!"

You can't talk your way out of detention or arrest, but you can sure talk your way into it. Every day is STFU Friday.

this is the best bug we've ever found

also worth mentioning I think that while I found it I was listening to the Donkey Kong special episode of NADDPOD and Brian Murphy was in the middle of acting as Diddy Kong at the exact moment I saw these on the shelf

four hardbound volumes of the comic HOMESTUCK by Andrew Hussie in a line on a shelf at the public livrary

Today I found Homestuck at the public library and don’t quite know how to feel about it

absolutely go back and re-read your old work, it will not only reaffirm how far you have come as a writer or artist but you will also see the steps of the journey and the way it has set up, supported, and enabled your present work to exist, it's like getting a high five from the past

this is such a wonderful thing, not JUST because the recognition is so deserved (it is), but because it shows a willingness to defend narrative as something that can be systems-driven, emergent, living, unfolding as you poke at what’s in your path. really happy for the team

also the bug explodes

so far one big thing I’ve learned from GDC is that I really need to release the fever dream that is BUG CHURCH, a game about a bug who goes to church that is also about private jets and boba

Exploring the Windows 3D maze screensaver you find a smiley face lurking from behind the corner. The face is very big. It looks menacing.

In a room with monitors piled on a trashcan. There are papers surrounding the dumpster, and bags of trash in the corner. Someone cleared out in a hurry.

Entering the classic 3D maze screensaver. There are rats up ahead. You must collect them.

Turning a corner to find old CRT monitors piled against the wall. Mice are dangling from the ceiling. The "Start" icon is in the corner.

It utterly enthralls me that I live within the timeline where Chuck Tingle has become a well-respected horror author alongside being the breakout of absurdist erotica.

Good morning

Bad games are the best games because they create game designers. If 5e were perfect, there would be only one game. Instead, 5e sucks so there are 10,000 tiny indie games that suck less and that’s beautiful

My review of Caves of Qud, based solely on phrases my partner mutters to themself while playing, is that it's effectively a Pliny the Elder simulator. They just hissed, "I believe honey has something to do with healing, but I don't know what it is" and then starting inspecting a pig

Zoomed out we see a small, lone shuttlecraft flying through a cloudy sky. Closed caption reads, "(screaming)"

Explained the central themes and plot of Hollow Knight to my mom today. Someone please give me an occasion to write a paper about Hollow Knight please I need an outlet my mom is so tired of me

I went forth, by appointment, to meet with Mr. Grant, who promised to meet me at the Coffee-house to bring me acquainted with Cooper the great limner in little, but they deceived me.

At home most of the morning hanging up pictures, and seeing how my pewter sconces that I have bought will become my stayres and entry.

there's something so beautiful about someone saying "i saw your game for exactly what you were going for" even it they feel dissatisfied about it ultimately

incredible plot summary
