Unsettling Horror Game Horses Banned From Steam, Leaving Studio With 'High Risk' of Closure - IGN Indie horror game Horses is preparing to launch on December 2, on the Epic Games Store, GOG, Itch.io, and the Humble Store. But one place it won't be is on Steam, because Steam has banned the game for...

Really wild situation here: a celebrated and well-regarded indie dev and publisher is facing shutdown because Valve banned their game from Steam and won't talk to them about it, at all.

The comic is less disturbing than the kid friendly "some races are more civilized" copaganda the movie is laundering.

I helped design a MLB VR app where you could watch the game on a screen above a 3D field & follow the stats, 3D pitch & hit placement on a field below.

Was a pretty cool concept when it worked. Requires an MLB
tv subscription, which is where most of the negative reviews come from.

Happy to fill the void 🫡

Reminds me of

I'm still on a Pixel 6 Pro. Tbh googles push for AI everything and no real innovations since kept me here, and my phone runs perfect.

Bluesky needs a bit of a culture shift

Also @writnelson.bsky.social had a good tip of trying to make your punch lines be on a single, shareable screen and not broken up.

Helped me with brevity, and made me be more creative with word usage and placement, especially since our font of choice was mono sized and oretty large font.

One technique was to go through the alphabet and try to come uo with funny scenarios for each letter.

Since we had chatacters getting into fights, I would wonder what was the inciting incident of the argument starting with A, B, C, etc.

I did that for awhile to get in the right headspace.

Demonschool is so good

Great art, great combat, great characters, amazing stuff 💯💯💯

I embedded myself in comedy, watched/analyzed a lot of it, and studied joke writing.

Going to low cost comedy nights was an easy way to see less tight, more experimental sets and see first hand the iterative nature of comedy.

Then its all about techniques. Think, what would make this funny?
