@hanwenxumame.bsky.social and i have been making this game

"The sad, the weird, the awkward parts of sex and physical intimacy" - that's what the team wanted "coalescent || tidal rapture" to explore, instead of another game selling you a tidy romance fantasy. @sharpiepls.com is digging in with great questions!🌊 #gamedev #GDoCExpo2026

Reading an article about AI agents and just struck by how much this technology is made by, made for, used by, is foundationally based on the assumptions of "manager brain" or "owners". You never do things, you have others do things for you, which now counts as yours. Delusional way to see the world.

applications for this coming year's Experimental Games Showcase at the Game Developer's Conference are officially OPEN!! send us your weird games and game-like experiments! www.experimentalgamesshowcase.com

im putting together a reusable lecture gathering ALL my reasons i don't want my students to use AI, lmk if any other educator would wanna peer review it/suggest additions or borrow it!

My bold vision is that I am the CEO of the biggest company in the world and everyone uses our product. I get paid the big bucks because I've got these great ideas nobody else can imagine

"Sometimes you have to prioritise the intelligence that will save us over the biology that slows us down" sounds like a good plan for what society should do with its billionaires

good morning my dear don't you wish there was one app for everything

(10,000 hours later) wait all my motivation was extrinsic -_-

at this time it's difficult to be a non-sports-carer as a moroccan who lives in nyc

[EUPHORIA SPOILERS] if u told me a year ago that this was gonna be the final shot of show i would've been like "huh?"

i have an inconsequential bone to pick with public signage in France, something about the use of the first person makes it sound very condescending to me, like they're talking to a child. "je monte et je descends avec" yeah i better hope so lol? just "n'oubliez pas vos sacs" would've been fine

hot as hell in paris gare de lyon

I guess boycotting Harry Potter feels pretty trivial to me, because I'm an adult. if someone told me I shouldn't eat Gerber's baby food, I'd be like, that is no problem. I'm way ahead of you

i guess those celebrating soras death didnt get the memo that some of us need daily personalized greetings from james bond—for mental health

we never use the swimming pool

HORSES won the IGF Nuovo Award. We’re profoundly grateful. To us, this recognition also speaks to a broader idea: that no gatekeeper should decide which games deserve to exist or what counts as art. Thank you to everyone who supported HORSES and helped carry it this far. PS: What a wonderful team!

Had a chance to demo Coalescent || Tidal Rapture by @hatimb00.itch.io and @hanwenxumame.bsky.social today. Extremely cool, thoughtful exploration of sex and the unknown with a bold mix of visual styles, thoughtful and impactful writing, and a fixation on the wonder and danger of undersea.

@hatimb00.itch.io and Hanwen Xu remark that the industry doesn’t know what to do with sex. Their game coalescent || tidal rapture presents an aquatic space for exploring queer forms of sex freed from pain and heteronormativity. Inspiration from slug sex and other forms of polymorphous pleasure

"Sex is a catalyst. Sex is a form of communication." In a perfect world, says @hatimb00.itch.io "sex is painless; there are no worries about who gets to have sex with who and whether you are having enough sex" (while presenting the alt.sex.imaginaries of Coalescent || Tidal Rapture at the EGW)
