Rolled credits on Control: Resonant. What a treat to play a sequel just as good if not better than the original. Still got some lingering questions, as it should be.

NEW DLC OUT NOW! Forbidden Solitaire: The Discarded DLC is out now on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/5238350/... We hope that you enjoy it :-) Please share, thanks!

I feel like the entire web dev industry has been collectively holding its breath since CSS-Tricks was purchased 4 years ago, now it feels like we can breathe again.

Carbon is stylish, useful, and battery-optimized! apps.repebble.com/carbon_48b38...

Today is launch day for our Forbidden Solitaire DLC! Busy day(s) ahead. Perhaps we can sneak in a few more wishlists: store.steampowered.com/app/5238350/...

Actions speak louder than words, personally I was in talks with Epic to get all my game assets on their Fab.com marketplace (for free) but cancelled the deal immediately. If they want slop, let them have slop.

A year of work drops tomorrow morning. 😶‍🌫️

Had this idea in lockdown, half-built it, forgot about it, remembered it again, though might as well finish it.

Pebble devs - we're working on something big for you 👀The biggest change to the SDK since...forever. Plugins: headless apps that provide data (eg weather, finance, traffic) or offer actions (home control, music, webhooks) to other apps, watchfaces and the Index agent.

I have corrected my oversight, which was glaring, because the original image had 4 pencils.

the story goes like this

There Is No Antimemetics Division (2020)

Spent all day dealing with server upgrades. Or rather, servers not upgrading because of obscure reasons. I am a web developer, why have I also taken it upon myself to be a sysadmin? Is this healthy?

The "app" is published! play.google.com/store/apps/d...

PHP is the primary server language of the web for a reason. If you can't hack it I don't want to hear your excuses, stick to your "better", less-used programming languages.

This PHP vulnerability is going to make tomorrow a very rough day for the internet.

Shot this morning on our daily dog walk. Felt like I was transported into Twin Peaks.

Just slapped a TWA together for crockoftime.com to try to keep my Google Play developer account active. I have been working on a digital logbook app but it's been slow progress and I'm second-guessing myself at every turn. Should have waited to open a dev account until the app was ready...

sorry, code is fucking beautiful. its fucking magical i can type words in the thing and fucking TRIANGLES just appear ? oops i typed it wrong and the triangles did something i didn't EXPECT ?? now weird shit is happening ?? this is the best shit of all time. i was born to fight the computer

Folks panicking over that one demo graph from Next Fest should probs come look at this graph and calm back down. Seriously, Steam's algorithms are remarkably good at just sending slop straight into the abyss. Nobody wants this shit.

Last I'll post about this, but Elon Musk disagrees with me. This means I am onto something, and I feel more valid in my opinion than ever.

the constant grind of semiotic violence from AI is so fucking exhausting man. read some text that doesn't say anything. look at some images that don't mean anything. here's some code I didn't write and quite possibly haven't run, presented as if it's a solution to a problem

Don't let billionaires convince you slop is the future. They're used to managing & directing, not making things themselves. Of course they can't see the difference. They don't understand your love for the craft. Keep making personal, beautiful games. You've got my support 💖

also, the thing with having consumers vibe out a game for their own consumption- there's a reason direct democracy is a bad idea there's a reason we don't let customers pick every ingredient at restaurants either learn the craft or leave it up to those who practice it

It's way too early for Greenfly to be showing up... Anyone else read the Revelation Space series and short stories? No, just me? Oh.

I'm sorry, an AI guy telling you "The wool is being pulled over your eyes" while simultaneously owning a huge ass yarn factory will never not be funny. You're literally part of the problem my guy.

happy five year anniversary to this legendary banger by @thatsgoodweb.bsky.social

STOP REPOSTING THAT AI SLOP WALMART RECEIPT PICTURE

now that IGF voting is winding down I can say that there are not one but TWO really impressive, really good deduction games coming out in the near future. generally a very big moment for the genre but some of the work being done is extremely impressive

An explanation on why Big Walk isn't available on Xbox. bigwalk.game/xbox

it’s worth underlining that the amount which a modern live game is not this is directly the result of devs fighting inch by inch, for months if not years, against the guy at every corporation who demands an explanation for why you aren’t doing this at all times

Beet season is upon us. Reposting spooky pickled beets video: youtube.com/shorts/-MRVR...

Just finished Piranesi and wow, how did I not find this book sooner. It's a bit House of Leaves, Eternal Ruins, and a touch of BLAME!

Annihilation always makes Halloween lists, so I thought I'd do a thread of creepy reads. Starting today with a flat-out modern masterpiece, Max Lury's No Ghosts. Thoroughly contemporary and disturbing grounded in deep characterization, and, in part, outdoing Back Rooms while also its own thing. 1

Happy fma day! 🦾✨

in the end everyone will be bankrupt and all the computers will be haunted

Just finished the 3rd and most recent Ana and Din Mysteries audiobook (the series name does NOT do it justice) and I'm impressed by the consistency of quality in all 3, 5 stars throughout.

One is Brain, and one is Brian. Shut up, Brian.

I don't need to live extravagantly. Living vagantly should be enough.
