saw someone corncob in real time in ffxiv earlier after they complained about politics talk in shoutchat, said they’d just “flipped a coin” at the voting booth, and immediately got dunked on by the rest of the instance. Humanity can be beautiful

I've made a game about building medieval castles! 🏰 you can play it here: mattstark.itch.io/islandoodle-ii

final fantasy fourteen 👍

jacinta "systemic racism doesn't exist" price has gotta be in my top 10 list of people i like to see unhappy on TV

Ok I've seen enough

LMAOOOOOOOOOOO HE'S CRASHING OUT LIVE ON TV

This election coverage is all well and good but why aren't we getting any voting results from the beautiful electorate of Aotearoa? What are they trying to hide????

Hearing GTA VI is delayed to give the writers more time to come up with more names for shops like Suck and Fuck Vacuums

Hell fuck yeah

Legal Speed by Radium Dolls is a great rock album 👍👍👍 wish it was on Bandcamp so I could rec it for Bandcamp Friday...

aussies for the past two months

As a fiercely parochial South Australian who considers Hollow Knight to be one of the state’s greatest exports alongside Fruchocs and pie floaters, Silksong coming to ACMI is *very* cool www.gadgetguy.com.au/hollow-knigh...

man…

coming up on Necrobarista's fifth anniversary (?!) in a couple of months... should I do anything to mark the occasion?

I have been learning Hiwatahia-Taino, the indigenous language of Boriken (Puerto Rico). For my language class final project, I localized a portion of a game I designed 2 years ago. I'm proud to say this the first time people outside our community are seeing it in a game!

On my lost media preservation of Sydney train. Does anyone have any memories, physical or digital items of Pokemon 2000 which held the first World Championship in Sydney during the Olympics?! Pictured the Pokemon pirate ship that had a cannon battle with Team Rocket which is important and insane.

Voted 👍

Hear me out: what if a game acknowledged the fact immersive sims are, at their core, slapstick comedies? And rather than hide it with tone & content, instead leaned into it? SKIN DEEP is fun & hilarious; buy it immediately M E O W

We knew this and we said it and people were furious that we said it. With no evidence, people wanted to believe the lies of proven liars.

This is a win for Epic Games and all developers in the US. Apple can no longer stop developers from directing their users to make payments outside the App Store. It also stops Apple from collecting its commission fee on payments made outside the App Store.

Skin Deep's story would not have been possible without the help of nine amazing guest writers who handled the majority of the cat emails. I've got a blog post here about them and about the game release: blog.lauramichet.com/skin-deep-is...

Seeing a little more capitulation lately, an attempted vibe shift of "being anti gAI is lame and whiny" "we should celebrate ethical uses", and respectfully, are you fucking insane? To look at the last 5yrs of crypto, NFTs enshitification, scams and go "its not that bad & surely can't get worse!"

back at it

i was annoyed no one had made this list on backloggd so i made it. please throw suggestions for all the games i dont know about at me and i'll add them after i finish editing this podcast backloggd.com/u/headfallso...

I like the idea of anybody at Fandom worrying about Brand Safety. Your brand is making a version of Wikipedia that runs like dogshit and auto plays a video of people I don’t know every time I ask myself “what’s Greedo’s dad’s name?”
