hey gamedev bsky, can anyone help troubleshoot a Unity technical issue? Dualshock4 and Dual Sense controllers aren't detected by the Input System. I'm running the editor on osx. The controllers are connecting and usable in steam + steam games, but not in my Unity project. Anyone run into this?

“Ignorant” is being gracious to describe Cosplay Kristi Noem. The level of abject stupidity in Trump’s cabinet picks is mindblowing. Of course Noem doesn’t know what HABEAS CORPUS means because she doesn’t recognize Constitutional rights.

Bluesky was built by the marginalized, and they're still the lifeblood of what is now the only inclusive large-scale social media community. The victims of the genocidal attacks in Gaza are a vital part of this community. @moderation.bsky.app is silencing many of these people, and it needs to stop.

I’m working too much again

Make sure your RPG battle transitions, scene composition, and attack animations are at least as cool as this Taiwanese DOS RPG from 1995

Got myself a new game design tool

I'm setting up a discord server for my new thing™. As a discord minimalist, I want to build something that serves community rather than my own preferences. Send me any tips about setting up discord! Happy to hear from people who use it a lot as well as folks who administer or mod them.

No toys for kids… but a $400 MILLION luxury jet for Trump.

@jerf.xyz @grubb.wtf @danryckert.com @janochoa.bsky.social Yoo! Sending major congratulations for taking the reigns of @giantbomb.bsky.social! It’s such a major win; the best news on the internet in a while. I know you guys are gonna crush it! @tolkoto.com too I guess. LMK if I can help in any way!

Oh wrestling is fake? Then explain this

I want a thousand more games like Despelote, but currently it's one of a kind and you should go play it right now.

really the only kind of news I want to see

Power in my whole neighborhood just went out. While my breakfast was cooking 🥲 Guess I’m jumping on a bus to a cafe to work! I’d drive but parking is such a pain for an all day trip. That’s gamedev baybeee! 🎉

I know everyone is struggling; and it’s horribly embarrassing to ask. But if you can spare any money, I’d be incredibly grateful. It’ll go towards bills, groceries, and moving costs. venmo.com/u/BBoolean

Working in video games was the real battle royale all along

I didn’t post about it yesterday but the respawn layoffs really got me down. I haven’t worked there since 2023 but so many talented and hard working people have been let go. I hope and trust everyone will land somewhere great but it seems like we don’t have enough studios to support all the talent

Idk man we all just gotta take care of each other

It’s so troubling, the state of the game industry and media. Fewer projects are operating in a way that sustains their teams, while extreme wealth is consolidated to so few. CEOs yes but also a handful of influencers on the media side. Fortunes dependent on dwindling labor of others. Unsustainable.

I should make a game about everything I’ve learned from Buddhism

Big love to my friends at Giant Bomb & Polygon

Happy Hitler Shoots Himself In The Head day to all who celebrate. The 80th anniversary. May his ignominious end, with his body doused in petrol and burned by his last remaining loyalists, be a model for all tyrants.
