I don't know much about Resident Evil, but I do know there is a hot man and a hot woman, and that the hot woman breasts-boobily in a way the people desperately wish for the hot man to.

And I think that’s a beautiful idea the devs should listen to.

The final day of meteorological winter, a blessed relief for Ukrainians who endured 90 days of winter like no other.

It's still -3c this morning in Kyiv but temps will be +7 tomorrow and above zero each day for the foreseeable future.

Day 1466 of Russia's illegal war.

Man I need like multiple government stipends from how much effort it takes to be politically informed in 4 different countries, down to the local level.

I will miss all my friends at GDC, but unfortunately traveling to the US as a trans person is not in the cards for me this year…
Have all the fun and stay safe! 💜

(If you visit the Ukraine booth in the expo-hall please tell me how it is!)

Pulling this out always gives me such a dopamine rush. Truly one of the most beautiful vinyls in my meager collection.

Like many studios, we won't be attending any US events this year. When you're a small team who runs on collab/consulting contracts in an annoyingly US-centric industry, this comes at a cost.

If you're making something that could use some systems/tools or just some extra expert devs, hit us up 💚

So sorry to hear, Andrea!! Hope your insurance covers you for this freak accident!

Easily Kuso. I barely had the stomach for it the first time. I was hungover after a friend’s wedding and my Airbnb roomie (the groom’s other old friend who flew in from Berlin) said we should watch it. Definitely not the vibe when you’re already queasy.

Sorry, Jupiter…

42-26 Shots on Goal is unreal. MacKinnon’s going to be haunted by that one for sure.

Family group chat:

Message 1: picture of mother with her feet up under a blanket, a cat on her lap, dog looking on. The TV is showing the 2026 Olympic gold medal game between Canada and US, on the ottoman next to her is a laptop showing the same exact game. 
Message 2: from Mom “Everyone but Luna is watching!”
Message 3: from Sister “Awwww babies! how come you are streaming from laptop? To get Canadian broadcast?”
Message 4: from Mom “Yes. We don’t want to listen to the Americans talk”

Pls recommend me more Canadian devs to follow, watching this hockey game and realizing I follow too many Americans and not enough Canadians.

My approach to marketing:

1. Be earnest and enthusiastic about what you’re making. If you don’t believe your game is amazing, no one else will.

2. Know your strengths and your weaknesses. Lean into the things your game does best, but acknowledge to yourself where the gaps are.

A GREAT thread!! Put into words something I was slowly learning through doing, thank you!

Knowing the limits on what we can do on an indie budget, it’s so imperative to make sure whatever you put out is optimized for the players who will actually enjoy your game. Do it with joy!

If you aren't going to wake up at 4am and drag your ass to a bar to watch the Olympic hockey gold medal game, are you even Canadian?

It might go without saying, but I'll say it anyway.

They don't lay them off because it gives game away. The C-Suite is a scam. There's no skill or knowledge-set being developed or applied. They are feudal lords, but instead of the divine right of god it's the legal obligation to the shareholders.

Small things like this means so much to Ukrainians 💜 support doesn’t have to be big to be impactful.

Exactly! I’m rooting for the Scots, in all honesty. But people think Canadians who like curling are all doggedly rooting for Team Canada.

Love that it becomes more accessible, but judging by the people engaging with this drama, I doubt they even watched a single game of this round robin!

The Swedes also were called out for darting over the hog lines while Canada was trying to take their shots, purposefully trying to distract them.

It’s sad that casuals are eating up and spreading misinformation because they think curling tea is funny.

It is, when the facts are straight.

What few people are actually acknowledging is that the single violation happened early in the game, but the Swedes only called them on it later, after Canada scored a whopping 4.

It’s absolutely a violation and he shouldn’t have reacted like that, but being lambasted for cheating and trying to say his whole career is meaningless for accidental finger strokes that don’t do jack shit is wild.

The Swedes aren’t the heroes you think they are.
