sail, body up to the clouds (Ryan) 🗺️🕹️🏳️‍🌈

Blatantly stealing an idea, and just doing a pinned running thread of good/interesting games I've played this year. Fair warning, I have a ginormous backlog (who doesn't?) and am trying to catch up on some old shit this year.

When I say I love Cheesecake Factory, I mean this cat who was found malnourished and wandering through a Bay Area mall parking lot. Cheesecake Factory has since been rescued and nursed back to health. He's now healthy, vaxxed, & sweet, but still needs a loving home www.petfinder.com/cat/cheeseca...

Halloween season is here, and it's never too early for parents to start inspecting the candy their children consume. Be sure to look for the telltale signs that their treats may have been tampered with:

a bit of tea: a jerk was sealioning so hard that Memegen finally added a "hide all comments from this user" button, something they've been resisting for years now I want them to show a "most muted people" list, the way that Something Awful does

The GameMaker engine series behind Undertale, Hotline Miami and Spelunky is going free for commercial use on PC https://bit.ly/3TUWFHK

D. Bohdan faithfully ported Glider 4.0 (a Mac game I wrote & released back in 1990) to run in your browser. (It's the first port I am aware of that also brings along the Room Editor.) Try it out! If you find issues, let him know. dbohdan.github.io/glider/ #vintagemac #Mac #vintagegaming

Today we (@propublica.org) published this map of every location with an active 287(g) agreement with ICE. (with the help of @tituslegaldesign.com's initial data analysis). Read the story: "The Small-Town Cop Who Helped ICE Deport His Ingram, Texas, Neighbors" www.propublica.org/article/depo...

val i relate to you so much 😭

The fact that Tim, even when he was much younger, rebellious, and eager, could already not feel sadness for a beacon of game design & development innovation and creativity going under when he could back smugness with "economically realistic" explains so much of why Epic is where it is right now.

while you port and emulate games, I ported Jira to my PSP

Not the top Steam review of Dressmaker making me cry this morning!

Oh no, what a terrible loss of 8 bits for the crypto community www.reuters.com/legal/litiga...

[0004373] Bugged miner is stuck on "atttend meeting"

did anyone do this yet

another momentous EGG Console drop next week: Magical Zoo's THE SCREAMER (PC88), the 1985 3D cyberpunk dungeon crawler known by some for its gnarly setting & hardcore chara-deleting permadeath system, and indirectly known by millions more the world over for 𝗗𝗘𝗛𝗨𝗠𝗔𝗡𝗜𝗭𝗘 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥𝗦𝗘𝗟𝗙 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗙𝗔𝗖𝗘 𝗧𝗢 𝗕𝗟𝗢𝗢𝗗𝗦𝗛𝗘𝗗

Do not sleep on this one. Narrative deckbuilding shenanigans (with maybe a little Inscryption inspiration) from the makers of The Magic Circle and The Blackout Club. Also the first thing the game asks is if you want the script and voicework in modern english or 17th century theatrical prose.

Kenney has done more for the profession than any billionare -- great place to start if you want to get into making your own games.

How bad is it? This bad:

the fact that this can be about two different things today

hey rays, i really like your original bubs, blubbo whale, and alternate palette coach z costumes

Have you ever thought about how your computer adds and subtracts? It takes a lot of hardware to handle floating-point numbers like 12.34. I opened up Intel's 8087 math coprocessor chip from 1980 to see how it works...

This week a white nationalist tried to assassinate a member of Congress and you probably didn’t even hear about it—and a reminder that being an elementary school student in the US is more deadly than being an ICE officer: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/three-shoo...

Star Wars: Galactic Racer (Fuse Games, 2026) It's Burnout with a Star Wars skin and welded to an roguelike branching map with random events and meta-progression, and it's pretty damn solid. The RNG occasionally feels unfair, but there's always a next run, and runs are fairly fast. Scrib doon!

It's NES day, and also my 10th wedding anniversary. No I did not plan it that way. If you wanna get me a gift, all I want is for you to watch this if you haven't, it took me 15 years to make.

And they trotted out Mark Butterworth to defend that moronic call on national television.

“That’s so racist even CBS won’t let you say it” actually sums up how far CBS has fallen.
