A Short Hike, Alba: A Wildlife Adventure, OlliOlli World, Pode (depending on what you qualify as supernatural - it's magical in a unique way). Stray unless you qualify that as "sci-fi tech as magic".

Many simulators and racing games also meet this criteria but may not be what you had in mind.

Literally had the same experience 😂 that composter is sitting in our yard rn

Happy Juneteenth! 💖💙💜✨

Absolutely gorgeous 😍 If you ever post anything about your lookdev process, I'd love to read it!

Today was my first day in my new role as a Level Designer I at Pipeworks Studios!! Really happy to join this team.

I feel really fortunate to have landed this role especially with industry conditions as they are. Wishing good news soon for all game devs still looking for work.

Love it

Can't watch SGF rn so just getting secondhand out of context info drops from Bluesky

So upset about this. Cliffhanger is a studio I'd been watching, seemed to be full of very talented folks working on something cool. Incredibly disappointing to see EA continue to wreak havoc on devs' livelihoods in pursuit of impossible profit. My condolences and well wishes to those impacted.

I just started E33 recently and I'm curious to know what people are saying, but I don't want spoilers, and also if it's just Bad Takes then maybe I don't need to get involved 😅

I guess it speaks to my selective following habits that I only ever see vague allusions to (or memes about) discourse happening, without ever seeing it myself. Apparently there's some discussion about parrying??

I've gotten pretty accustomed to the weird daylist titles but this is a new one.

Watch Scavengers Reign or else

In tears rn

Anyway when can I buy a plush Crouton?

I feel like it's more in the spirit of the thing to make my own, but I will happily give 💰 if an official one's available.

With this and SINNERS... Just feeling emotional about it all. Good-ass art telling real-ass stories about the black experience.

Finished South of Midnight. What a gorgeous game. GREAT storytelling and some of the best dialogue writing I've seen in games recently. Deeply grateful this game exists. Big thank you to everyone whose hard work brought it to life.

The cost of Grok: "I can't breathe at home, it smells like gas outside. How come I can't breathe at home and y'all get to breathe at home?"

The AI Boom Is Draining Water From the Areas That Need It Most A Bloomberg News analysis finds that roughly two thirds of new data centers built or in development in the US since 2022 are in places with high levels of water stress.

Each time you ask an AI chatbot a question, it sends a request to a data center and strains an increasingly scarce resource: water.

A 🧵on our investigation into how the data centers that power AI are increasingly being built in highly water-stressed places:

a black cat is being asked if there is a " man " take it Alt: A rotating tuxedo cat in "loaf" shape is overlaid onto a screenshot from Silent Hill as though it is an item that can be picked up. Text reads "There is a 'man'. Take it?" with options "Yes" and "No". "Yes" blinks red, indicating that option is selected.

Sorry you're having a rough one.

Hawthorn Former Bethesda & BioWare devs bring you a nostalgic, co-op sandbox RPG of woodland animals, adventure, friendship, and village life.

HAWTHORN is what happens when some extremely talented developers from Bethesda, Naughty Dog, & BioWare get together to make their dream game: a mix of Skyrim, Stardew Valley, & the Redwall series. A successful Kickstarter will help make this dream a reality; please pitch in if you have the means!

In this new mini-doc, @browngirlgamercode.com explores the history of Southern Gothicism, South of Midnight's Southern Gothic inspirations and its impact on the subgenre.

Looks fun!

It's so exciting to see all these great new games coming out and being well received! We eatin good this spring it seems.

Gives me some hope for the industry, but also just makes me hype to start playing these. As soon as I find some time... And finish the games I'm already playing...

Hand stretches to keep the wrist healthy

Don't forget to stretch your hands and wrists fellow artists/gamers!

So far, mechanically, it's reminding me of Kena: Bridge of Spirits. Which I wanted to love, but didn't. I thought it was gorgeous, but the story didn't grab me and the puzzles/combat weren't my favorite.

But SoM immediately got me emotionally invested. And I'm enjoying the feel of its combat more.

It's the kind of game I've always wanted to exist, one that respectfully and faithfully centers black culture and heritage, rooted in real lived experience of the African diaspora. And it's beautiful, well written, and FUN.

I'm glad people got to make this. Excited to keep playing!

My backlog of games I need to play is miles long, but South of Midnight skipped to the front of the line cause I simply have to play it. For the culture.

Just started and played through the first two chapters and it's as great as people are saying!

Good! This is why we have to keep speaking up.

I can strongly recommend Diversion after using it for my most recent project. Super quick and easy to set up, user friendly interface, has a plugin for Unreal.

Glad I don't get my care thru PP, but this is disappointing and harmful to folks that do. Providers need to stand up for the people they claim to care for.

For those in the Phoenix area who may be impacted by this, I strongly recommend RSG Healthcare for gender affirming care: rsghealthcare.com
