Strange how CDPR has no issue with the market of devs selling custom V models for people to play dress up but when someone makes a niche VR perspective all of a sudden it’s time to wheel out the TOS.

Empower those willing to iterate and champion your game, don’t stifle them.

It’s been 5 years since we had an XCOM game to play and quite frankly that is unforgivable.

I feel like literally anyone that used Stram could have told them this. Money can’t buy common sense I guess.

I enjoy trying out all sorts of tat pushed into the App Store, and while most games like to take “inspiration” from established IP, surely this must be fodder for a lawsuit, right?

Been playing a bit of Super Fantasy Kingdom and it's pretty neat. Nice little colony/tower defense lite with a cool roguelite twist to multiple runs that suits my terrible attention span (also its on gamepass if you have that) store.steampowered.com/app/2289750/...

I feel sorry for the staff having to endure this man's ego trip because he can't reflect on failure.

Megabonk's bush coming to the fight with a gun is what I want out of 2025

A simple text banner on a black background, with white writing that says: 1997 DBRV 2025. Inside the D is an icon of a froggy looking sad with the letter F on its chest. This was DBRV's avatar on discord. The banner was made by FRAMED member Birb

A screenshot from Cyberpunk 2077 showing Jackie Welles sat at a table, viewed over the should of a woman in silhouette who is looking at him. He looks thoughtful.

A screenshot from Cyberpunk 2077 showing a black and white portrait of Songbird. She's wearing an elegant dress with fur on her arms. She is positioned at 90 degrees to the camera, but her head is turned to look in our direction, glancing just behind the camera.

An abstract screenshot of a dove against a background of geometric shapes in various soft colours. It has a poignant mood.

A screenshot from a video game looking up through tall trees at the overcast sky. There is a hint of sunset under the clouds through the trees, with beautiful yellows and oranges breaking up the grey of the clouds above. Two birds are flying in the sky.

In loving memory of @dbrv.bsky.social, FRAMED member, Cyberpunk modder, and friend to many.

I just found out that the Tesla shitbags have invaded with some test drive service at Athelhampton House, home of everyone's favourite scamp Martyn's Ape. Keep your corporate fuckery away from my masturbating ghost monkey.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 - Beginner Tips Prepare for Expedition 33 with these tips for new players in Clair Obscur.

Anyway I’ve been playing Expedition 33 lately and if I was going to recommend any of these to anyone I think TheGamer’s beginner guide is probably the most useful www.thegamer.com/clair-obscur...

That’s not to say it was any better when I actively worked on stuff like this, it’s the same common sense pointers wrapped in a vague veil of assumed insider knowledge, but it’s interesting to see it seems to be the norm.

Couldn’t sleep so I thought I’d go read some hashtag timely content on a handful of gaming sites as I’ve mostly avoided them since I stopped freelancing a millennia ago and it’s weird to see just how much filler is in these “tips & tricks” primers they throw up for that launch traffic.

A Combine turret unloads on incoming antlions in Nova Prospekt. The light from the gunfire casts shadows on everything nearby.

Ray traced Nova Prospekt laundromat arena. Moonlight shines through the windows.

Light above a staircase fills the area below, casting diffused shadows.

Porkchop sandwiches! (A kitchen is on fire, everything is lit in an orange glow.)

HL2 RTX is pretty crazy

In these cursed times of 2025 If your open world aventure RPG doesn't have a murder mystery side quest taking place in a big spooky mansion, what are you even doing?

As a Christmas gift for an obsessed friend, I plotted the Caves of Qud world map on my Axidraw.

Thanks to @unormal.bsky.social and @jfg.land and everyone else involved for an amazing game!

2025 needs to be the year I can butcher Gorlaks in Dwarf Fortress. Get me a pair of Mike Wazowski gloves.

Think of the slapping noises...

Meat on meat, a cacophony of wet friction.

I’d kill to see the sales numbers per item for Xbox avatar cosmetics. I NEED to see the public’s shame laid bare.
