My undiagnosed ADHD is gonna have a feast tonight

ICYMI, Metavoidal is a roguelite also made by a solo dev and his 9 friends! #SummerGameFest

1. I didn't know The Artful Escape was made by Australians 2. Those Australians have, yet again, made something that passes the vibe check Exceptional, give me 14 more

A Wu-Tang video gam was not on my bingo card but I'm weirdly stoked

You know what game they should remaster that I'd love to play in UE 5? PROTOTYPE

Not all treasures are lost… some are just waiting to be reclaimed. Announcing Relooted: An Africanfuturist heist game where you reclaim real African artifacts from Western museums. Please share, & wishlist! youtu.be/KgPxPfXb734 (Wishlist links in next tweet!) @dayofthedevs.org #SummerGameFest

People and media often say Balatro was made by 'one guy'. I feel like that unfortunately may be stoking the flames of this David vs. Goliath narrative a tiny bit No it was not 'one guy', look at the dang in-game credits

‘Cognitive labour’, also known as ‘thinking’. Yes, let’s all celebrate no longer doing the thing that makes us people, let’s give up on being autonomous moral beings. There’s a lot of this going on in universities at the moment & it’s profoundly depressing, it deserves complete derision.

Got my work accused of being from the GPT region in France for the first time today I'm not sure if that's a compliment or an insult, because I put quite a bit of thought and effort into it. So for it to be reduced to that feels... weird

John Williams really did just make Gustav Holtz's The Planets his entire personality and made a career out of it Not in a bad way, it's just incredible to hear exactly where he got his inspiration from

Visual representation of my brain today And unfortunately it's not taking any requests right now

“Hamas planned the war this way, placing its military resources in homes, schools, mosques, and hospitals and thus ensuring that once it started a war civilians would suffer greatly. Its gigantic tunnel network is meant to protect its fighters, not one single civilian.”

I recently got reminded about how, back in 2020/21, I applied for jobs in Cape Town and a rather successful media company gave me an "Intern Test" that asked me to do *checks notes* A minimum of 9.5 HOURS of work Including "an engaging 500 word editorial piece", video concepts and storyboards 🥴

Imma expose myself a little here For the longest time I thought the Nine Inch Nails logo was just an alternative Nintendo one 😃

Now, I'm not into ASMR. But I know some of you are, and the same thing that happened to me during my Hellblade playthrough happened while watching this game's cute trailer I'm rather sensitive to sounds, so the "pop, scoop, fwah" part made my lower back muscles tighten in response 😂

I honestly enjoyed this season Was on par with S1? No, but I chalk that up to TLOU2 being 'The Only Ellie Show'. Where in S1, the dynamic between Joel & Ellie was why you kept watching S2 did A LOT of setup, and had relationships it needed to deal with. They also let us SIT in the aftermath

Good afternoon

Kittens, as far as I can tell, contain explosive devices that launch them into the air seemingly randomly. Little paws flailing out in all directions. Launching multiple heights taller than them. Who hit the detonator on Trevor the kitten? Why is he attacking my shoe? We just don't know.

The Drummer Effect™️ - Before & After #indiegame #pixelart

Hippos are proof that branding and marketing matter, because they are incredibly terrifying creatures

Reminder that Ramaphosa's job in the transition to democracy was to persuade white foreign businesses and investors not to flee the country. He's used to dealing with the egos of rich capitalists. It's a dirty and demeaning business. His jokes aside, there are plenty of gift jets involved.

Microsoft is trying to convince the public there’s nothing wrong with how Israel is using its tech or the fact it’s supplying an apartheid state with that tech at all, while stifling internal dissent. Probably a good moment to remind people BDS is calling for a boycott of Game Pass.

We're currently scrubbing through Metavoidal's text to see what needs working on, and I'm re-discovering all the references I've snuck into the game I even got a re-contextualized Hot Rod quote in there😂
