Thatโ€™s funny, I thought of Cult of the Lamb after I posted this. Pretty much the only game that comes close. Iโ€™ve never played Moonlighter but itโ€™s now on my list ๐Ÿ™‚

Iโ€™m playing the original again for the first time since I was a kid and it still holds up so well. Itโ€™s the game that made me love weird asymmetrical game loops.

Balatro at the number 1 spot of course, and Iโ€™m pretty sure most of my Infinite Wealth playtime was spent on Dondoko Island. Also if you enjoy roguelike deckbuilders and havenโ€™t played Wildfrost, definitely check it out.

Getting there as well ๐Ÿ˜ญ

One I know still believes and the other Iโ€™m pretty sure knows the truth but is probably afraid he wonโ€™t get presents if we know that he knows lol

Itโ€™s really cool how much Seattle Indies has grown over the years. I remember going to the small meetups about 10 years ago at Wilde Rover in Kirkland (now closed). Life got busy but I want to start making it out to these events again!

Hey friends, I just lost my jobโ€”Iโ€™m looking for new work!

See a thread of work below ๐Ÿงต, or visit oldmanofthefire.com

Iโ€™m an artist and programmer. As an art director Iโ€™ve lead art teams on projects for Netflix, Apple, Sony, and more.

If youโ€™d be so kind, please share this to get the word out!

Itโ€™s rare to have a Seahawks team with both sides of the ball going off and Iโ€™m here for it.

Love that you add more to your courses over time, I really got my moneyโ€™s worth with the GLSL course. Also a big fan of your work on Archer and Bobโ€™s Burgers ๐Ÿ˜

Sweet, I was hoping youโ€™d make this after your previous fluid sim video. This is why youโ€™re my favorite programmer on YouTube!

Congrats on shipping and wrapping up the series! I had a long flight the week you released and couldnโ€™t put down my Steam Deck til I finished it. Looking forward to whatever youโ€™re cooking up next.

Rest easy knowing someone using a celebrityโ€™s face as a pfp to comment on looks probably cries when they look at a mirror.

I miss the TIGSource era. Maybe Iโ€™m just being nostalgic, but there was something truly magical about that time that can never be replicated again.

An experiment. Can you like this post if (and only if) you play and buy video games.

Some people over on Twitter/X seem to think it's only game developers here.

Like a Dragonโ€™s programmers publicly shared some of Infinite Wealthโ€™s source code as a message to aspiring programmers. We ask them about the unprecedented decisionย  - AUTOMATON WEST Interview with the Like a Dragon series' technical director and lead programmer about what itโ€™s like to join RGG Studioโ€™s programming team.

Whenever I play a Yakuza game, with all its quirky side quests and mini-games, it always feels like RGG developers love their jobs. It really seems like they have a great culture based on this interview, prioritizing individual growth through training and creative freedom.
