An announcement from GB has arrived 💌

Hey! I'm now able to share what should be the finalized voiced name list for OL2. It's 1,657 options in total, haha. I hope everybody finds an option that works for them!

🧵

Some day I have to write about what it was like to start having chronic pain at the age of 18. My knees were the first to go despite being otherwise healthy and fit.

Nobody believes you when you have pain at that age. They don’t believe young people can feel pain. It was lonely for a long time.

Digital art in a colourful cartoony style. A chibi dragon is wearing a starry cape and pointy hat, with a hatband in trans pride flag colours. They're holding a wand and happily making magic gestures over a smoking cauldron brew. Levitating around them are various objects like a potion bottle, crystal, candle, snail shell, pine cone, and an open spell book with simple illustrations. The dragon has to use a little footstool to stand over the cauldron. Watching on with interest are a little green frog and a black cat.

witchy wizardy dragon bean!

Who Remembers Attention Spans? Why can't we focus on anything these days? Sean Morley takes a brief interlude from checking the latest death tolls to investigate our belief in the shrinking attention span.

My latest for @nowthenmag.bsky.social:
Who Remembers Attention Spans?

Half of people in the UK think their attention span has shrunk. With "doomscrolling" becoming an increasing concern for policymakers, I ask: but is this even real though?

Hans "It's only a handful of pages, but all of the printers are acting up. Whoever said these things could be trusted to work on their own was a conman."

Cherise "You only wore it by chance, but later it feels more "purposeful". That's what seeing the flyer was like. I just happened to see it at the right time."

Mari "Not much of a morning person, are you? Or did you stay up late?"

Hans "Don't put too much stock into it. If you had a sibling, then you wouldn't be the same person you are today."

What've we been working on this week? Scripting the "date" scenes in our short otome game, Mari's Magical Deliveries! On her days off, Mari can spend the day with whichever love interest she wants to, getting closer to them in the process~

"cosy airport security game" is such a cracked pitch for a wholesome cosy game. missing the point of papers please so hard I almost respect it in its quiet evil. I wonder if you can do wholesome cosy "your body does not match what your passport gender says" patdowns

Lost Lune the cosmic god's eternal night

i’ve been making games professionally since 2011 and learned that part of the emotional puzzle is to embrace passion, excitement for minute to minute tasks, rather than ambition, those yearly or multi-year milestones. another part is to temper expectations, actively

disappointing game launch grief.

very real among game devs, rarely public. i’m seeing one unfold publicly now, but don’t wanna draw attention to it. it’s sad. i want to say it’ll be ok, but in truth it won’t.

Microsoft builds on Recall with Gaming Copilot — fails basic privacy tests Gaming Copilot, rolling out now to Windows 11, adds a new attack surface to Windows.

If you're using Windows 11, Microsoft is now surveilling you in a new way. This may already be turned on on your computer, and you would not be notified; it activates whenever they detect you are in a "game", which in my experience Microsoft often false-positives on

fearmongering and fraud confessions under this post got even worse overnight 😒

1. don't put any word related to nsfw art in the descriptions, and you'll be fine (nothing new. They've been forbidding it for as long as i remember)
2. don't use friends and family for business transactions ❗️

Solo devs and very small teams often have this inherent cringe about the idea of making people pay $20 or $10 or even $5 for their little game and I can't emphasize enough how much you have to grab that cringing impulse within yourself and strangle it to death

When developers get the lion's share of a video game's profits and not executives and shareholders, then we can talk about raising the price of games.

But miss me with this $100 shit when we have leeches like Phil Spencer and Andrew Wilson constantly laying off devs for a quarterly boost.

Dear #AdultGame devs:

For the upcoming episode of our podcast "Random Encounters", we're looking for developers who'd like to share their perspectives on depictions of sexualised violence in interactive fiction.

We'd need your answers, either in writing or as voice recordings, until October 31.

Inktober Day 22 - Button

JACQUELINE JOINS THE ROAD TRIP! 🎃

Surprise: tomorrow we will also release a new DLC for "Monster Prom 3: Monster Roadtrip" that adds Jacqueline as an alternative playable character.

This way you can add some Pumpkin Spice to your Halloween sessions of Monster Roadtrip! 🎃

I think the better way to look at this kinda thing isn't "you should play bad games"
Rather "play games that interest you, even if they are supposedly bad, and don't exclusively play games that are rated high."

You Should Play Bad Games

Playing bad games doesn't ruin your credibility, it actually makes you learn about what you like. You start noticing effort, weird ideas, stuff that polished games smooth over.
Play more broken, weird, and ambitious trash; it’s good for your taste and good for your brain.
