atr8des.itch.io/wormhole Here's the current build of my entry into the Very Serious game jam hosted by @juniperdev.bsky.social! Feel free to let me know what you think if you give it a try! P.S. it is mobile-friendly, you can play Pico-8 games in the web browser on your phone!

AURA

it's so beautiful

What an unbelievable gaming experience it was, playing Signalis for the first time. Up there with Blue Prince and Outer Wilds in therms of games I'm still chasing the high of

JD Vance: "Gas prices are too high ... they skyrocket every time some tinpot dictator decides to throw a tantrum"

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

fuck this would've been cool. FUCK private equity

G U N E

@cyberpunk.net having another amazing season of Edgerunners (on ep. 4 currently) AND a dual-wielding update for the game?!? Ugh this game just keeps giving me reasons to love it

@mikeflanaganfilm.com is fucking genius. Loved #Carrie

I started Hollow Knight: Silksong finally after @kindafunnyvids.bsky.social loves on it during their Top 100. I avoided it for a long time because the difficulty concerned me. It still is quite hard but I'm really enjoying the journey!

Is it technically eligible? Sure. But is it realistic for enough of the voters to play enough of it to vote honestly for it? I doubt it.

The Witcher 3 not being on the @kindafunnyvids.bsky.social Top 100 is the first omission to really piss me off 😂😭 @andycortez.cool was right.

The Trump Who Stole Christmas

Me when the guy gets eaten in #Whalefall

@gameovergreggy.bsky.social Tell Tim the Halo announcer was Jeff Steizer, not Steve Downes. Also Tim sux.

I honestly don't want to believe that the author read the book or watched the movie, because I don't know how you do either and get this kind of bizarre takeaway. The Southern Reach series as a whole to me is an example of how untempered prognosticating about a phenomenon is dangerous to humans!

Zoe leading Dylan out of the sinkhole in Control Resonant is my gaming moment of the year right now. So beautiful, atmospheric, and makes me misty-eyed every time I play through it

a livestreamed execution is just a lynching

“girl cats are mean” “girl cats are standoffish” “girl cats are —“ my girl cat is constantly trying to put her nose inside my nose so have you considered that it’s a you problem

Re: the newest episode of the @kindafunnyvids.bsky.social podcast, Is it Reacher or is it @gameovergreggy.bsky.social ? Two perfect male specimens, same age, same size. Good luck 👀

For months I've had a fixation on The King in Yellow by Robert Chambers and I am hoping that a cool little video game comes out of it

That Lanterns finale is going to be controversial but I for one loved it! Great performances all season, some interesting changes from the usual Lantern lore, and enough loose ends for a season 2 to pick up from! John Stewart has always been my favorite GL

All the Control Resonant I’ve been playing has me thinking “I could easily double-jump and air dash to get up there.”

Good. I don't think artistic expression should be tied to a share price, ideally ever.

It's time for the media to stop referring to these positions as "radical leftist."

Not worrying about legacy makes your interactions with others richer because if legacy isn't the motivator, you are interacting with each other because it is worth it right NOW, in the moment!

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

Control Resonant is my GOTY. What a visual feast with a solid story and some best-in l-class sound design

It just keeps getting better.

Disney+ is raising its prices again • $21.49 with no ads • The 6th price increase since launch • More than triple what it cost 7 years ago (via business)

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted.... History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” ― George Orwell, 1984

i think you can fairly say that the second trump administration is the most racist federal administration since woodrow wilson and honestly i'm not sure that it isn't more racist than wilson's

God this is heartbreaking. I love the Hellblade games

Finally finished my Wolfenstein 3D-style demake of Call of Duty's classic Zombies mode #pico8 #gamedev #indiedev Play it here: BBS: www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=159... Itch: rossmccormick.itch.io/pico-der-unt...

Just a random reminder that it's a moral outrage we're the only industrialized country without paid family and medical leave.

It’s insane that people in Congress are paid over $174K a year in taxpayer dollars whilst making millions of dollars from insider trading whilst getting 18 vacations a year as Americans all over the country struggle to pay for rent, gas and groceries.

Mel Blanc screams are like Greek fire, we lost the technology to make sounds like this

A certain subreddit isn't ready for this conversation, but I've never played a game based off of a recommendation/review from @barrettcourtney.bsky.social that wasn't an absolute banger. Him, Blessing, and Andy have masterfully curated my favorite games of the past five or so years

This is really sad

Yeah until gamers reach out to their representatives wherever they live, nothing will chnage. These boomer ass politicians don't care about games personally, we need to MAKE them care about digital ownership and consumer protections across marketplaces.

btw Kanye did a song Heil Hitler and no one stepped in to oppose his tour(s), which is ongoing. In fact, Kanye is scheduled to perform at one of the stadiums Macklemore has been stopped from being at.
