I was procrastinating on updating to 4.6.2 and you already put out a snapshot for 4.7? Crazy. (Also virtual joysticks yay!)

I did NOT know about darker and lighter hues looking like different colours. Is this a pixel art thing or does this happen in general too?

I was so sad that I would have to look for #discord alternatives. Turns out that the YouTubers I trust to deliver me the news were fearmongering and the face scan feature is only for NSFW channels.

I wonder what they plan to achieve by profiling #gooners ๐Ÿ„๐Ÿ’ฆ

Most of the submissions are going to be different flavours of jam and kids thats how game developers revolutionised the jam industry

I get the kid though, a job at valve will settle you down better in life than any cushy government job ๐Ÿ˜†

I had been looking for a video game on mobile that I could pick up and put down anytime, that was playable in portrait mode, didnt have microtransactions and wasn't hypercasual. Lo and behold Afterplace by @evankice.bsky.social

Cant wait to boot this up next time I am on the bus!

My friends who had been playing for a year got me to buy it but then they would rush into the mission and I would just stand there like 'wtf is a strategem can I eat it' and it really set me back initially. I recommend playing alone until you get a handle of your build then make small changes โœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿ„ :)

Started from the bottom now we are here. DS3 is my first soulslike and I am loving it at 100-hours! Turns out You can kill dragons by standing at a safe distance and shooting arrows ๐Ÿ˜…

Trains lend themselves so well to P.T. clones because you are in a repeating set of rooms and there is no clear 'outside'. You are stuck in the void.

Balatro to me feels good because one moment you are barely squeezing through a round and then you see a loophole you can exploit and become god. I fumbled though.

Trying to make a functional prototype of 2048 in 3D. I keep getting stumped as to how I can show the information of the visually overlapping cubes in a digestible way.

A wall in the basement crumbled and I found a cave

One day, Trees decided to stop growing. Then the sky folded in on itself and we were hidden from the sun. Those who could, fled somewhere. The trees are grown by force now, by dulling their minds with their Mother Soil. By the light of Sunflies, and by water forced into their roots.

What if someone in the 1700s said, "I would like a slice of that sea in my house" and so we have aquariums today

Using the unpredictability of the pendulum as a movement mechanic is awesome!

Placing torches is such an underrated mechanic in games because it adds a whole new dimension to interfacing with the world
