Promotional artwork for the VR game Hotel Infinity, featuring a logo that identifies it as a finalist for the 29th Annual D.I.C.E. Awards. The game title, "HOTEL Infinity," is displayed in large, bold red serif font across the center. A thin white horizontal line separates the two words. The background depicts a low-angle, perspective-heavy view of a dense, stylized architectural environment. The buildings are light gray or white with many dark rectangular windows, reminiscent of a classic grand hotel's exterior. A single window at the top right is brightly lit with a warm orange glow, contrasting with the otherwise cool and dark exterior.

Hear Say is one of the few digital games that evokes the same manic, giddy energy you tap into when you’re doing improv exercises. whoever directed this one did an incredible job πŸ‘€

if you’re trying to unionize and start to feel your momentum fading, take a beat to imagine what Bryce Harper would say in your position. it will reinvigorate you immediately

so well said, & we need to resist the cultural norm that urges juniors to be endlessly deferential and accommodating. you deserve to be listened to & respected as much as anyone. in the immortal words of the seattle garages (blaseball): "no one you look up to is better than you are"

Raleigh just barely scraping by the first round of the hr derby and then hitting more than two of his competitors combined in the second round is such a Mariner move. i won't talk about what the subsequent Mariner move would be however

β€ŽDustborn β€ŽDustborn is a comic-book road-trip adventure game about hope, love, friendships, robots…and the power of words. You play Pax: exile, con-artist, Anomal β€” with the ability to weaponize language. Look...

Dustborn is now available for macOS! It runs natively on both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs β€” but the more modern, the better, of course. The game plays beautifully on my Mac Studio M1 Max. apps.apple.com/no/app/dustb...

i sometimes see this going around on july 4th which always feels strange to me bc Lyn Fireemblem would not say that. she would probably say something more based. pretty sure she didn’t even believe in borders

idk why so many gamedevs are posting about placeholder text rn but i will share the tip from publishing that our industry doesn’t use nearly enough: typing β€œtk” (shorthand for β€œto come”) in places where text is not final makes it quick & easy to locate in any searchable documents
