Spent ~20 minutes trying to reproduce the TTC Upwarp glitch in Mario 64 today. Nope.

No $1000 bounty for me today. 😔

Photo of a miniature fuse.

Photo of a 90s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figurine. There is an arrow pointing at the hand to suggest the fuse on the other photo would fit there.

Kid me was like "A fuse? Oh you mean a empty ooze bottle for my Ninja Turtle figurines!"

I was playing some Rocket League yesterday, which is pretty much the only game I play online.

Had the usual "third guy on the team quitting on us" thing happening in some
matches. Got stuck with some trolls in other matches.

So I uninstalled the damn thing, it's just not fun anymore.

Come check it out and take a look at my site. You can also try a game that I'm working on, in very-early-not-yet-ready-to-be-played-really-alpha version.

I was looking for a software to make some pixel art for a game I'm developing and I found this one here: Pixelorama, on Itch https://orama-interactive.itch.io/pixelorama

It's pretty awesome, I love it!

Looks like the PSN is reenacting the events from 2011.

I mostly play on PC these days so it doesn't affect me too much but still...

Highlight from the fundraising streaming sessions I did yesterday for Extra-Life / Opération Enfant Soleil - Beating Mario 64 with only 50 stars collected https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2338102804

screenshot a games wish list from Steam, showing "unavailable item", "Grand Theft Auto 2" and "Rocket League"

Some highlights from my Steam Wishlist

The one that says "unavailable item" is Grand Theft Auto

Also, when Rocket League became an Epic Store exclusive, free-to-play game, it stopped being displayed in my wishlist but it came back the other day, for some reason.

Screenshot of a game being made with Godot Game Engine. We can see a 2-player spaceship racing game but the assets of the game are only rectangles of different colours, as this is a work in progress with placeholder assets. We can also see some console logs with messages like "P1 UP" or "BANG! P2", these messages are thrown when buttons are pressed or collisions are detected.

Back in February I showed something I was working on for the NES. Turns out I gave that up because it was unstable and I couldn't figure out how to fix it.

So what I did is I started doing that game in Godot instead. Here's a screenshot of my (crude) WIP with placeholders:

I haven't seen the new Joker movie yet but I can already tell that it's a lot better than that Batman movie that had Arnold Shwarzenegger in it.

I was in a facebook group for CRT enthusiasts and almost every day there was someone asking "Are CRTs good for retro gaming ?".

So I started wondering if there's a group about where the pope likes to defecate and there's always someone going "Does the pope shit in the woods?"

Just logged on to say this : Fuck the Embracer Group

goddammit you're right! i was kinda forgetting about this because of all the massive layoffs in videogame companies but it's true

Is it just me or does it seem like a good time for videogame industry staff to look for jobs in other tech companies?

At my job, people send gifs in Slack channels but most of the times, it's "corpo gifs" made from video clips of tv shows, with backed-in hashtags.

🙄

So lame

That new thing with how #bsky refreshes a few seconds after the feed loads is kinda shit. Quit trying to be Instagram!

I started unfollowing some people that post very frequently because they were just taking up too much space on my feed. Hopefully some of the "smaller players" will shine through now.

glad we don't really have "omg the nazis are here and we cant do anything to stop them" on mastodon because nazi instances just get shot into the fucking sun

also: we can post gifs there

Microsoft buying out every other game company might seem like a bad thing at first glance.

But at least it's not a potential death sentence, like getting acquired by The Embracer Group.
