I gasped at 60 results for "shit" in our codebase before realizing it was picking up false positives for "isHit" booleans on raycasts

5 results for "it's fine"
6 results for "ugly"
11 results for "sorry"
27 results for "it works"

I will be at the GDC Festival of Gaming by Informa in two weeks which is to say I will be in the park without a pass. Lemme know if you want to say hi!

This was billed as anticapitalist Paper Mario. I was pleasantly surprised that wasn't just about the art and battle system - it came with all the heart and charm I'd expect from Paper Mario too. It drags for a bit in the middle chapter but ends strong.

[02] Big Hops (PS5, 2026)
I'm a sucker for 3D platformers, but this was a great one. The level designs and puzzles keep getting better the further you play. The novel movement mechanics are the star, though, and I think we'll see people speedrunning it for years to come.

To paraphrase a friend: stay on the path, make good things. Indie has always flourished in the face of AAA distraction. Times are bad, but let others deskill, pivot to nonsense or chase impossible outcomes. People really like playing videogames. Suits forget that every 6 months or so.

Here's what TikTok has been doing to our work & art without our consent.

the dog has decided it is too fuckin wimdy to go for a walk

If studio execs believe in a future where anyone will be able to make a game with a prompt, then they should be ESPECIALLY reluctant to embrace gen AI today. Why would we get a head start on homogenizing our studio's output to be indistinguishable from the output of tomorrow's Roblox kids?

There are so many reasons these days where I’m feeling like this focus on generative AI might be one of the worst mistakes in recent human history. Whatever perceived value it could provide isn’t worth the damage it’s doing in so many areas.

before signing with @outersloth.com, i tell devs to reach out to teams we've worked with so they get a sense of what it's actually like to be with us!!

whoever u sign with, check with others! most are more than happy to chat (and don't just talk to the most successful games under the label either.)

Weird But True: every time you morg, the price of RAM goes up 0.01%

The AI bubble RAM crisis is caused for non-existent problems by non-existent money for a non-existent infrastructure to meet non-existent demand to make non-existent business and will utterly destroy real business based on real demand and real infrastructure built with real money for real problems.

just here to say DICE was good, yay DICE. we live in a bad world but there are still lots of good people motivated to make fun things and it was rejuvenating to spend time with you all

democratizing the experience of failing to recoup the $100 Steam submission fee

it needed a friend, right?

framed one video game soundtrack and the urge to order like 10 more frames is very strong

[tmnt theme]

they believe in nothing, they love nothing but their own power, and they have no moves that don't involve spamming the hate button

one thing I know from making comedy games is that dumb jokes are always funnier and more memorable when it's obvious someone spent a lot of time and effort to be that dumb

this is also why I am not particularly concerned about how fast computers can be dumb

The curious case of Newsom’s singing French grasshoppers An odd turn-of-phrase from the governor at a press conference left linguists and a reporter scratching their heads.
