physical copy of my visual novel. a blue perfume bottle shaped card with a usb attached to a tassel. it has my main character on it

portrait of a man with long blond hair holding a blue perfume bottle to his chest

the cover of my zine on physical games. a man with an eyepatch with a menacing smile like a cat holds up two indie game usb drives

the cover of my zine about digital games in physical spaces. a cheerful looking blond man with long poofy hair in a shopkeeper's apron holds up a game system with hearts on the screen

Hi! I'm a transmasc game dev and artist who makes visual novels, one of which you can get on a super cool physical copy!

I also make guides for other game devs to make their own physical media/get more involved in physical spaces!

The very unfortunate passing of Rebecca Heineman has also lined up with other developments and findings involving her 3DO port of Doom.

So I’m making an update video because there’s enough for a whole video. I was originally planning on just a short!

When I was watching XPlay, this Mountain Dew ad came on where this guy forcefemmes transgenderizes his homie.

ok they deleted and reposted it for some reason but, reminder: this is a survey of GDC attendees only which self-selects for highly paid, senior devs and management

which is to say: this is most likely what a result skewed _against_ unionization looks like right now

His name is Taliesin, he was a stray and I would kill for him

I'm not a guy so. It's his day. I love my Porg.

It's international men's day?

Shout-out to all the men following me, international or otherwise, hope you have a good one.

While today is Half-Life's birthday, don't forget it's also Shepard's day too!

Happy Birthday Opposing Force for completing 26 years old!

All sports/real racing game should be like this instead of releasing a whole new full price game every year

Two things can be true: 1.) The Game Awards are meaningless and we shouldn't take them all that seriously. 2.) Award shows of its scale DO rewrite the mainstream history of the art form, whether they deserve to or not, and its okay to care that it's so thoughtless despite having that responsibility.

LambdaGeneration is currently down due to an ongoing mass outage affecting many sites and services.

We couldn't even make this post initially because X is also down.

Who knows, maybe the HL3 hopium did just break the internet...

Nothing is a better demonstration of the anti-scientific nature of banning trans women from sports than the fact that the IOC's OWN STUDY found no evidence trans women have any advantage over cis women in sports, but they're planning on going ahead with banning us anyways

Rest well in Valhalla, Burger Becky. Your contributions to the video games industry, and of course - DOOM - will live on with us here on earth forever

Krafton CEO allegedly asked ChatGPT to help him find a way out of paying Subnautica 2 devs their bonuses because he wanted to avoid the 'professional embarrassment' of being seen as a 'pushover' A pre-trial brief filed by former Unknown Worlds bosses says Krafton CEO Changham Kim was worried about losing his job for overpaying for the studio.

dear lord. these people.

It cannot be overstated just how important she was to computer gaming as a whole. But of all her achievements, I believe 3DO Doom is a technical miracle entirely from the fact that she got something Functional in only ten weeks, in the worst development context imaginable.

Farewell, you legend. 😢

Oh dang, nice. Hytale - that ambitious Minecraft-like that Riot cancelled - is back in production, independent style. They've been rehiring the team and apparently have up to ten years of funding.

Early access release date coming soon.

Nice to hear some good news, at least.

Ana has been targeted and blacklistef by paypros for her fight against online censorship of nsfw content.

An attack on one trans person is an attack on ALL OF US. Not just trans people, but EVERYONE!

Debanking destroys lives. If paypros can do this to her, they’ll do it to you too for protesting.

How Jennell Jaquays Evolved Dungeon Design, Part 1: Pre-Jaquays Dungeons (This is a slightly cleaned up version of my two Bluesky threads on Jennell Jaquays, preserved in a hopefully easier to read format. Thank Amanda P for reminding me that having these things stored …

Rebecca Heineman's last message was for people to look up her departed partner, Jennell Jaquays.

Jaquays was so influent to tabletop RPGs that "Jaquaysing" became a verb for designing complex, non-linear dungeons.

@nickoten.bsky.social wrote a great article on her:

in the early 2000s Rebecca took the time to chat over IRC with a teenaged and gender-confused Me on the practicalities of transition - in a time where being out as trans online was something that could get you socially ostracized. I owe her a lot for that and only hope I can pay it forward.

I can understand asking for nuance in these discussions, but deliberately muddying the water by bringing up automation tools that people understand are not generative AI and asking for a middle ground is disingenuous. The nuanced position is that people are roundly rejecting the tech, respect that.

I am becomingly increasingly convinced that having too much money causes measurable mental decay.

No wonder these people are all-in on AI. It's the easiest sell in the universe. "Thinking is for the plebs! Use our machine to do all the hard stuff for you!"

Kinda wondering if the steam boxes release and are popular enough, if that would help popularize linux use/releases a bit more after how rancid Microsoft/windows is these days

Feels like it should be bigger news that a journalist known for being loud about her investigations into banks/payment processors appears to be getting financially stonewalled by the entire industry unaminously right now.

This shit is exactly why placeholders are commonly pink/black checkerboxes with PLACEHOLDER in giant text on it so that shit doesn't get missed and go to fucking retail

Today, November 16th, Half-Life 2 turns 21 years old!

Time really flies since the 20th anniversary documentary and all the previous development and old trailers we got from last year. Still can't believe we got them. Happy birthday HL2!

"I asked Grok, and..."

Okay, well I asked a gonk droid, and it went gonk.

We found him ... the Blues Father
