Don't wanna go too galaxy-brain about this, but it's incredible to see the *literal 1st person perspective* of someone who thinks "I can safely endorse violent fascists, because the state specifically protects *me* from violence" suddenly being confronted with the truth.

The "Always Has Been" astronaut meme template with no text.

Preproduction isn't over until the game ships.

Reason #99 why it's a GREAT idea to cameo as an NPC in your own game: When they randomly ruin your trailer shot, you have no one to get mad at but yourself 🙃

And probably a few extras of this one specifically.

Every co-working space needs a full set of these flags.

Excerpt from the linked study, saying "In order to try to make sense of the variety of scrotal positions in differing animal groups, Chance (1996) offered the ‘galloping hypothesis’. Animals whose mobility is characterized by quick movements or jumping, such as horses, primates, and humans have external testes to avoid concussive hydrostatic rises in intra-abdominal pressure. Elephants, whose testicles are internal, do not jump. According to that theory, the testes adjusted to cooler exterior scrotal temperatures as a secondary adaptation."

Izzie's edit to the "guy sweating at the choice between two buttons" meme, one labelled "NEVER BE KICKED IN THE NUTS" and the other labelled "ABILITY TO JUMP".

Might not have been the most productive day for us at Liquid Static, but thanks to @enkirkpatrick.bsky.social I now know that if an animal can jump, you can kick it in the nuts! 🦵💥🥜

A digital receipt from me ordering a hardcopy of "The Art of John Harris: Beyond the Horizon"

Noooo!! Your post just made $80 fly straight out of my wallet 😭🥺💸

(Also thanks for putting a name to so much of my favorite sci-fi art. It's a bit embarrassing how much of his stuff I've used for inspiration without realising it's all by the same guy!)

Screenshot of an article with the headline cropped out. Only a picture of a Korean man and the first line of the article is visible, which says "A Korean mathematician has won". Link to the full article: https://m.koreaherald.com/article/10648326

I mean yeah I should hope so, that's his job and he should be paid for it!

Can someone make an "extraction metroidvania" for me please? I wanna play Silksong with my Arc Raiders friends.
Also if that isn't trendy enough already, I'm comfortable with adding friend-slop elements 💰📈✨🤔

Alright pack it up everyone. This robot's kick and pantomimed pain has made all sci-fi redundant from here on out.

A meme with the caption "when a job posting asks for a 'narrative designer'". The meme shows the pokemon Eevee in the middle labeled as "narrative designer" with the various evolutions of Eevee being labeled with the litany of tasks and specializations a narrative designer could be expected to do or cover.

very amused that to some folks this meme is my greatest contribution to game design

Screenshot of the Wikipedia page for "Closed Set" featuring the sentence: "Sets that are both open and closed are called clopen sets."

Me, reading math stuff on Wikipedia to learn about collision detection:

"Woah all these cool sci-fi words like Hyperplane and Disjoint Convex Set are kinda intimidating, the people who come up with this jargon must be super smart..."

*I nervously click through more pages of big brain math stuff*

When you replace 'less' with 'fewer', that's one less mistake.

Ever wanted to become a pilot just because they look so cool?
Bad news! The best pilots look that way from birth!! 🧑‍✈️

A poster of the Pixer film UP, poorly edited to have the characters of Robert Eggers' film The Lighthouse plastered on top. The extremely clever joke is that "light" can mean either bright or not-heavy, so the house in Up is technically a "light house". Also funny how both films are about two men of different generations/cultures, their struggles to cooperate and achieve mutual understanding, and the thrilling situations brought about by their unconventional house.

Today's dumb pun that evolved into an intrusive thought:

(Because with all the balloons it's not so heavy, get it?)

(Also, stories about intergenerational friendships and critiques of masculinity are great for all ages)

Most airlines limit carry-on luggage so it "can't impair emergency disembarkation".

Cringe custom Simpsons mtg card #1: Mr Burns, Nuclear Tycoon. He's esper artifact shit with rad counters.

Cringe custom Simpsons mtg card #2: Mr Snrub, Wise Stranger. He flashes in to protect mr burns and steals treasure counters.

Cringe custom Simpsons mtg card #3: Mr Burns, Indestructible. He's basically phyrexian unlife on an indestructible body.

Cringe custom Simpsons mtg card #4: The Sun Blocker. Azorious stax where players have to give you treasures to not have stun counters on their creatures.

When the ADHD meds hit just wrong and you spend your whole morning making Mr Burns themed magic cards instead of showering: 🤦

All good if we give you a writing credit on Night Plane? 😅

From the very first cave paintings humans have ached to see themselves reflected in the mirror of consciousness, to pass the world through a prism of common experience and make meaning from the threads of our shared humanity. Our entire economy now hinges on the idea that people don't

Just finishing up the demo build for NZGDC now! 💪🔥

Ah dang, I thought I had more time! Guess I should finally get around to finishing the first one. 😬

This is true Sci-Fi:
•Narrative takes place in a hypothetical future
•Scientific concepts (materials science) are elegantly woven in, and supports its themes
•Explores ideas regarding human interaction, how it's influenced by technology, and how it's inseperable from social class
•Ending is spooky

The campaign blew me away when I first played it, but it's definitely the one I enjoy replaying the least.

Check 'em outtt! 👀
