Indie #gamedev is: "I drew this kinda bad thumbnail sketch of a game idea and now somehow I am contractually bound to bring this entire concept to life, no matter how long it takes."

If you are as stupidly excited for the #MortalKombat Legacy Kollection as I am, @maximiliandood.bsky.social has a great interview with some of the folks from @digitaleclipse.bsky.social about it.

Been looking after my neighbour's geriatric cat, Eddie. When we first met, he was so cautious. Now our visits are 45-minute super-cuddle sessions, and he follows me everywhere. โค๏ธ
He's a very good boy.

This was such a lovely summer game. I think the ending them is by the same team that did the new music in Another Code: Recollection (the vocalist sounds the same to me, at least).
Keep on kicking ass, man.

Is now a good time to post about the Gaming Historian episode on #MarioPaint that featured yours truly discussing how I learned digital art and animation via the game?

I have always treasured zines, local comics creators, indies (of course), and just people who actually make art and contribute to their local community, on a human scale.
My hope is the younger people swing the pendulum back this way a bit.
The book "Offline Matters" by Jess Henderson.
One of the saddest realizations one makes in life is how much "culture" is just "deeply targeted corporate campaigns hard at work", and I feel genuinely bad for younger generations for whom this is infinitely worse.
I also highly recommend this book to help:

No one will read this because it's 9pm on a Sunday, but I finally got some quiet time to play games and I can't because my RSI is flaring badly.
