It’s so weird that I can’t help but be amazed by it

Tokyo has some of the most strange but amazing building layout I’ve seen in a city, like this little gap between tall buildings that’s been turned into parking space

This is what I’ve done with mine! It’s so fun being able to watch tv or play games from it, when if it has a lower resolution

Truly astounded by the #MarathonReveal - that cinematic short has style on another level.

Shocking that when artists are brought in to make art, they make amazing things.

The wargaming PMG doc was really eye opening… thanks for suggesting this, it’s a great watch so far!

Just feels right playing #MetalGearSolid2 on a #CRT

Without money to get started, indie teams are left either dead on arrival or having to ask people in the same situation to work for free. And no one with the money seems eager to hire…

As a designer currently finished with uni and working on getting my first role in the industry, I’m seeing lots of this too - it’s tough.

There’s money in the industry to waste millions on games that immediately get shut down, but none for new indie startups.

Supergiant always do a great job with soundtracks, love the Bastion ost

Hi Bluesky 💙

Another round of looking for fellow game devs to follow, let's hear about your game in the comments!

(Sound on 😂 🔊)

Finally managed to get my parent’s #crt hooked up with my PC. Can’t wait to play some games on here!

Have you taken a look at Beautiful Light?

I saw this video on it recently, which caught my eye. Might be one watch…

Well played 😅

Reminds me of a classic

I agree that this is great for indoor environments, but what about when outdoors?

It’s tough to find similar easy-to-follow language in natural/open environments, hence the whole yellow paint trend.

LOVED playing this, but I destroyed my 3ds’ top screen so it’s not the same anymore 😭

These look so good! Even just the added detail of the leaves at the borders make such a difference

Definitely pulled something in my back building this #Lego set this evening, but it’s so worth it.

Only a little further to go!

8 hours… I wish 😭

There’s not enough time in the day tbh, especially during winter

Feels like I’m starting to get back into making things, finally.

Who knew that taking breaks and resting makes a difference to your creative ability??

Adore your art style!! A sonic game looking like this would be so cute

Worst bit of this is that despite the title of it (“help us beat the bots”), you can be sure that this is being used to train AI.

Which doesn’t do them any good either, when their puzzles don’t work!

A screenshot of Microsoft’s security check tools, which requires you to match a number and an image with a set of numbered circles and corresponding images. The test shown here asks to match the number 23 with an image that shows a lamp and sofa, but there is no visible number 23 on the following image, making the puzzle impossible.

A screenshot of the tool displaying that 14 out of 15 of these puzzles have been completed.

Tried to log into my #microsoft account to change my email notification settings, and got blasted by having to complete these awful test things. Most of them didn’t even have correct answers, like the one below.

Why do these exist?? And why do I need to complete 15 of them?!

Maybe we keep this one safely tucked away in the vault 😅

Totally agree with what you’re putting down btw. I find the process of working things through to get to a definition helps my brain to understand things better.

Ooh I think that’s a satisfying way of defining it!

To consider yourself a ‘fan’ of a piece of media, it’s necessary to have experienced all of its attributes 𝗶𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝘅𝘁.

That’s interesting… I wonder then: when we remember a game through rose tinted glasses and say we’re fans of them, but forget about all the difficult bits of it like janky controls and awkward sequences, have we moved to being fans of the idea of the game rather than the game itself? 🧐

If that’s a future that Netflix wishes to push, they should start investing in audiobooks.

Film is designed to be watched, just as a game is to be played.

That’s very fair, and I agree that you can’t properly understand a game without having felt the experience of playing it for yourself.

But does that necessarily mean you cannot be a fan of it?
