Taymoor, King of the Pirates

Heading to GDC this year, first time ever. Anyone got any tips/tricks to get the most out of it?

Pokepia having a Prop Hunt was unexpected, but incredible use of Ditto

And the way to convert an audience is to have a focus on quality that survives repetition and appreciation of possibility space, which nobody is prioritizing these days, on the publisher *or* audience side.

It stills astounds me that no business decision makers have yet learned the lesson that you cannot create a Live Service audience, you can only convert an existing audience into a Live audience. There is no steel in the iron mines, that takes infrastructure.

why is game dev feedback always kinda like this

andy cohen's "am i excited about 2026? [pregnant pause] yeah. i... yeah. i mean, what's the alternative?" is the realest thing i've seen all night

The latest development on UK Mexican food is that Mexican-themed Churro stalls are all over the place. The churros are decent. Unsure if it’s a Christmas thing or not.

That’s only if we almost die. Which we won’t, because we’re better. But also now I actually have to try.

Field trip time

It’s waiting for you and also we’ll play multiplayer soon. Lotta tweaks in this one

The positive reception around this last Civ 7 patch has been a moment of relief I didn’t know I needed this badly.

Bethesda should return to its fucking around and not giving a shit roots tbh

Alright I get “wine-dark sea” now

I'm gonna put all 4 of these in Civ

On one hand, all these new "maybe the real punk was community and kindness" articles infuriate, because, yeah, that was always the point. On the other, maybe people will finally get it.

submission dates for GDC and PAXU are the same day and adding two things to my to-do list that overlap a little did more psychic damage than I was prepared for.

It will make you thousand annie

As someone who writes TTRPG rules, you are not alone. Its astonishing how much goes into writing something that no one understands.

So much of my job lately has been changing a bunch of 20s in an excel sheet to 10s, and then back to 20s two days later, before deciding on 15 like its an epiphany of the highest order.

Elon is about to see the biggest twitter activity day as we all follow the shitstorm and if its enough positive reinforcement, we can Skinner Box our way into a complete republican schism.

Spider-Man confronts the humanoid-dinosaur villain Sauron, who is riding on a triceratops. Spider-Man: "A lot of skills are surprisingly transferrable" Sauron: "I don't want to transfer skills, I want to design video games"

The original Creator and Director of Final Fantasy Tactics, Yasumi Matsuno, shared a message with the fans about the new game!

bringing back my favorite SRPG post with the FFT remaster announcement

Damn that’s delightful

What makes it good? I haven’t been motivated to try it yet

I have reached the credits in Clair Obscur. I highly recommend it to everyone to try, it did fall apart for me towards the end. Still like an 8/10 game overall for its commitment to style alone.

I finally started Clair Obscur and it’s incredible that my game of the year two years in a row is gonna be a vivid, nearly-absurdist, fantasy turn based rpg. (Not incredible at all, it’s exactly all I’ve ever wanted)

10 minutes in and it makes Skyrim look old, which I see as a good thing

I’ve never played oblivion and I know basically nothing about it, so they might as well have shadow dropped Elder Scrolls 6 for me. I’m so psyched

Some days you play your game and write down all the bugs and its productive. Some days you don't find bugs and you wonder - am I still working?
