Releasing a remastered special edition you have vague memories of from when you were a kid is the corporate equivalent of a trip to the confessional.

"I wish corporations who only cared about profit would be better." "I'll just give them more money and hope they change."

"I want the 90's back!" "You have to self-publish your games using a bank loan." "OH MY GOD IT'S LIKE THE FUCKING 90'S! WTF?!"

Day 16,370: Tired of trying to conform. Tired of trying not to offend. Tired of not being myself. Tired. Tired. Tired...

If you post AI bullshit I want to see the prompt you used. Show me your "tools". I want to point and laugh at the fact you had to type out the words "Guy on all fours getting railed by a horse with 12 cocks." I want to see "Make me popular game X but with my name on it because I suck." DO IT!

When the etymology of a word is lost all you have are the echoes of its meaning and the fear they bring to those who never knew...

More and more indie devs I talk to are considering a loan over a publisher deal.

When all your indiedev game posts are liked by bots schilling other peoples' games maybe it's time to give the fuck up.

When your best looking level is a straight line gauntlet from the entrance to the exit using old assets and a couple of headstones you smashed out of a palette in about 10 minutes maybe it's time to think about getting a real level designer... #gamedev #indiegame #pixelgame #pixelart

Another Bucket List item checked. Never modded Wolf3D before. Never compiled from any original source before. Hate coding in C++, but did it anyway. Works in DOS with more features than I could have hoped. Learned something new. Took less than half a day to do. Feeling pretty proud of myself.

Project: GoodBoy You can now save the Dogs in #Wolfenstein3D. A 34 year old wrong made right again. The knife is now a bone. You can hit enemies with it and save puppers. Compiled from the original source code. Dunno if I can release it, but it exists. #DOSGAMING #RETROGAMING #GAMEDEV #INDIEDEV

If Sony says any reasonable person would know they don't own their games and that the license is non-transferable then when do we sue Gamestop for years of buying stolen property? We didn't own it, thus we didn't have the right to sell it, so it must have been stolen, right? #videogames

This is an EXCELLENT video game that I'd recommend instantly to any of my friends and mutuals who appreciate Americana broadly, and specifically the music and myth of the U.S. Deep South

Haven't used Google since posting this. Went there a cpl times from muscle memory, but jumped off again before searching anything. I know all the other searches just use Google's API so it's not changing anything, but at least those don't generate AI images just because I exist.

What's this Absolute Horses with Google Images pushing back to www Google and then throwing up a bunch of insta-AI generated bullshit I didn't ask for?! Fuck you Google. #FuckAI.

Do you have an iPhone 11 or newer, or iPad released in 2021 or later that you are not using? Amiberry emulator developer MiDWaN is willing to bring his Amiga emulator to iOS (and trust me, he delivers — we worked with him to fix 30+ year old emulator scaling issues) but needs a test device. DM me!

Some WOLF gameplay for #screenshotSaturday. WOLF is an FPS for #gameBoy coming real soon. #pixelart #indiedev #GBDK2020 #retrogaming

If you interact with children on the regular I would ask that you tell them it's okay to copy other people's work. By that I mean, do covers of their favorite songs. Remixes. Paint a Rembrandt, rewrite the ending of Moby Dick. If I knew I could rescore Star Wars as a kid things would be different.

This concept was introduced to me as "run the dishwasher twice" and was an important part of my executive functioning recovery as well as my path to self-acceptance.

mucho texto i know but i wanted to write a lil thing about how u can treat yourself nice!!

Game mechanic where you only know your ammo count by looking into your pocket and eyeballing the rough quantity left. Checking rounds in a magazine is Linear Russian Roulette. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev Oh, and there's an achievement for it, of course.

looking for a programmer to make a BSP lightbaker through the GPU using ericwtools methods. no genAI. let me know your rate, I'll save up. github.com/ericwa/ericw... making a game in the quake engine and it'd be real good to have, and good for the community.

Did an #art today. Re-inked a #furry I did about 13 years ago and then tried coloring it. These are the results. Enjoy. #furryart #cute #otter

This is the reason the rest of you make me feel like an Ant. Wearing a dunce cap.

Ok, physics people, I think I'm fucking up this last force application step. My gut is that what I'm doing here with calculating the final force from the slip is too much, but I can't work out why. if I remove the delta or multiply by the delta or change from impulse to force, it's too small. But.

Binge watching The Outer Limits (1995) last night and there's an episode with a car accident. This was before wide use of cell-phones caused distracted driving. I can imagine the writers: "We need him distracted while driving, but how?" "Maybe a dog?" "No! I got it! ... EYE DROPS!" Died laughing.
