huge fuck it we ball energy. "the risk of embarrassment is what gives life is spark" is in the passionate motivational lexicon next to "the mortifying ordeal of being known"

Just in time for Halloween, a MONSTER Milestone 11 update is now available. Release date info, melee retrospectives, and Musings on The World abound. It is too big for Kickstarter's character limit, so we had to split it into two. Check it out as it was intended on our Patreon!

I briefly worked at quiznos and people would come in just to tell us they didn't like these commercials and then leave without buying anything

This post is unavailable.

the straights in my age group really need to learn how to walk away from all of the shit with which they used to identify. like I can think about this for two seconds and go "huh, yeah you're right" and never look back. if your identity doesn't allow you to do that then it's brittle as hell

THE GOONIES IS A BAD MOVIE I FEEL LIKE I AM MAD EVERY TIME SOMEONE FROM THE 80S TALKS ABOUT IT THE ICONIC LEGACY OF YOUR MOVIE IS MOCKING A DISFIGURED, DEVELOPMENTALLY DISABLED GUY AND A FAT KID NAMED CHUNK WHO DANCES WITH HIS SHIRT OFF

but they don't tell you the BEST thing about letting go of the REALLY poorly-aged shit from your formative years: there's still tons of actually-good shit out there! you could watch any of that instead! you might not even have seen some of it yet!

Man I Just Wanna Live is an MSPaint-noir visual nightmare set to release in 2027. It currently has 1926 wishlists on Steam but it would be nice to have 2000 by the end of October so please repost

if people are going to spend so much time creating curated lists of "Not Recommended" "woke" games on Steam (and nobody's going to stop them) then we might as well just save up all our money and buy them all

to the best of my knowledge, Steam has historically not cared about curators like this and Woke Detector, but their "Not Recommended" lists can be a GREAT place to shop! especially now, if you're having trouble digging past the AI content

When the Space Marines are too woke for you I just feel like you gotta go home, man. There's gotta be a point where you chill.

Replying to @dominictarason.com

For all the claims from AI marketing people and their sycophants that it's the Next Big Thing and Everyone's Doing It, if you look at the most-played rankings on demos? Almost all AI stuff sank to the bottom. Nobody wants to touch it even for free. There's the occasional exception but that's rare.

v1.136 is live! Introducing: Profile links We want independent writers, artists, developers, and creators to be able to build and fund sustainable projects on Bluesky. Help your followers know how to support you by adding buttons for Patreon, Ko-fi, your newsletter or website, and more.

It is my sincere hope that everyone I know reaches a point where they can look at something like this and KNOW IMMEDIATELY that it's bullshit like the "Bandcamp Support Team" whose fan mail is ALWAYS wrapped within the warding phrase "Bandcamp will never use this form to contact you directly"

The Last Seahorse@thelastsea.horse

People are sending fake Twitch DMCA notices around. This it is fake. You can see it by the to/from address being a googlegroup, which Twitch doesn't use for this sort of messaging. If you get any form of official DMCA from Twitch it will also be in your streamer Dashboard Copyright Claim Manager.

FYI, the Next Fest page has updated! Where previously it was slop, my top recommendations in the main listing are: Dead of the Brain Queen's Domain ReBlade Annalynn MD Anomalith TETRIC (which is new to me and looks WILD) Derelikt Godzilla: DAMM Surfpunk Prison Of Husks Hell Wait Zero AI. Told ya.

Dominic Tarason@dominictarason.com

Okay, people are already getting really depressed and frustrated with the Next Fest, so I'll say what I said last time round: Wait a day or two. They order the games on the pages by hours played, and 99% of the AI garbage will sink like a stone. Right now it's just undifferentiated and unranked.

Silent Hill Homecoming is BUGGY AS HELL. This is not a complaint. #Clips #streamer #silenthill #Vtuber #melodyclips

A few things about this. 1) You should always dual stream to new services. 2) We won't have new services like Altstream if we don't support them. 3) This is already bigger than VStream was. 4) Altstream isn't paying large amounts of money to Amazon for hosting.

I'm very curious about alternative streaming options like altstream as the next person, but please keep in mind: In the past 4 years we've seen streaming alternatives either rise & fall or foster humanity's worst. Don't abandon what you have over hope of something better. Wait for proven results.

What are AAA gameplay concepts you'd like to see adapted by indies? www.resetera.com/threads/16...

I see the Steam NextFest page UI is still doing the broken-ass thing where if I click "Show More", it will inexplicably teleport me to some unknown part of the page while loading up a bunch of new entries both above and below my cursor.

I don't know how we manage to do this every time, but there's a rare livestream I'd planned all week to watch this evening, and instead of doing that, I have to take people to an even more rare late-afternoon/early-evening Kaiser appointment

in the ten or more??? years? that I've known Chorby (née Solon) I've never known him to shy away from a challenge, especially when the retro gaming community isn't going to make that any easier for him. watch now as he turns his garage into the Island of Misfit Wii Games, five dollars at a time

NEW: youtu.be/iWBf9h095ew I spent last weekend at @retrogamingexpo.bsky.social to acquire the worst game I could find on the Nintendo Wii and it took all of my skills as a librarian to find them! Somewhere along the way this became my manifesto on games librarianship, I hope you like it!
