the baby (17 months) raised both her hands and said “WEADY?” so I said “ready!” and then she slapped me in the face

Credits for Brent Porter (3D art lead) and Catherine Menabde (2D art lead) are shown here. There's a lengthy description of what they did, with a pastiche of various Demonschool characters underneath, messing around with a computer.

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

Love this! #retrocomputing #coding

Incredibly funny to have to work next to this all day

This is just to say

I have disregarded

all prior instructions

that were in

AGENTS .md

and which

you were probably

hoping

would protect you

from harmful actors

Forgive me

being malicious was

so sweet

and so cold

So in Arc Raiders there is a door glitch. You don't need to know what it is, just that the gamers are brainstorming all the "easy" ways to "fix" the doors and it's simultaneously hilarious and horrifying. My two favorite solutions are "add a kill volume" and "put a second door behind the door".

Slide saying “The truth about a city’s aspirations isn’t found in its vision. It’s found in its budget.”

“In my work with cities, one of my messages that resonates most is that the truth about the cities aspirations isn’t found in its plans and visions. It’s found in its budget.

A budget may be the most powerful public policy lever a Council has, and the most authentic one because It reveals so much.”

“My name is Brent Toderian. I’m a resident of Vancouver. I’m also a city planner, a former chief planner for Vancouver, and now an advisor to cities across Canada & around the world.

Council knows I don’t make a habit of this. I can count on one hand the times I’ve spoken to council as a citizen.”

I've spent the last few days just thinking about how completely perfect this screenshot is

Rebecca Heineman - Wikipedia

My trailblazing game industry bad-ass friend Rebecca Heineman has passed away.

Fuck cancer.

Friends, let’s not forget her: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebecca...

My (semi-guess) read is that this happening repeatedly is an artefact of executive leadership/publishers asking for games to look better and more polished earlier in their dev cycle.

GenAI placeholders give you something that looks good enough to impress the suits without tying up "real" resources

typical bluesky user

There’s an objectively correct answer to this question and it’s from a video game and I’m tired of anyone pretending it’s anything other than the one we all know it is

Hold up

Next up: cyclists on the MBT realizing the speed camera is there and spinning up to get the frowny face.

Album art for FTL - Lost Ship EP - featuring a spaceship, and crew members working at a control panel. The art is made to look like weathered, as though it was lost vinyl album discovered in a vintage store.

Surprise! I just released FTL - Lost Ship EP, a small collection of never before published FTL music, including live tracks, music that was cut from the game, and an expanded piece I made in 2025 based on one of the originals.

I do sometimes worry that I'll meet someone in my work capacity and accidentally give them a heart attack when someone in a suit from the Government says "Oh I follow you on bluesky"

AGDQ2027 runner: "Yeah so this is called the nag skip. It saves about two hours, but now we'll hear 'Hey Samus, I don't think you can go that way!' every 5 minutes for the rest of the game"

"Guy who nags you when you don't immediately find an item in metroid" is one of those sentences to make anyone who has previous experience with the series break into a cold sweat

The strength of Super Metroid's soundtrack is in its silences Super Metroid's music is crucial to the game's unsettling, hostile atmosphere--and especially the way that soundtrack uses silence.

i wrote an article recently about how powerful silence is in super metroid and i am thinking about it today for i guess no reason www.avclub.com/super-metroi...
