there is no position more esteemed than that of the one OC that you remake in every video game in a character creator

Some of the most impactful games I’ve ever played were 15 hours or less While I love an epic video game, not all games need or deserve to be looooong Quality > Quantity

Even if you aren't """good""" at it, create content for them anyway. You don't have to show anyone. Keep doing that for the a few years and anyone is bound to improve. In fact, many artists you enjoy probably started drawing their oc's on school homework instead of learning math or something.

I don’t buy unfinished video games. I don’t pay for early access. I don’t pay to bug test a product. I don’t buy on the promise of future content. You wouldn’t buy any other product in the world if it was faulty. Why are video games any different? Buy with confidence!

"Video games should be hard!" No, video games should be engaging. Difficulty is one way to engage a player, but it's not the only way, nor is it always the best way. There is a space for ultra difficult games. I enjoy many. But it's not the be-all, end-all.

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating without AI have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

The idea that story-driven games aren’t replayable is so strange to me. I eventually bounce off every multiplayer game because I get bored, but I go back to story games again and again just like rewatching a favorite movie, or to experience something new

Jank isn’t necessarily bad in games. Depends on the game. It’s like going to a hole in the wall restaurant where all the furniture is mismatched, the menus are laminated, and then the 68-year-old owner chef brings out the best food you’ve ever eaten on a chipped plate

One reason I play video games is because reality can be so shit at times. I just want to lose myself in a world that doesn’t cut me down

"video games are a waste of time". Mf, EVERYTHING you do for entertainment is a waste of time. Reading, watching movies, sitting your fat ass in front of the TV to watch football is a waste of fuckin time. Mind your own business.

Writing Tip: In worldbuilding, towns and cities should have a unique look and feel to them. Give them some personality, quirks, or even flaws. Imagine a tourist trying to explain a place they've visited to their friends when they come home. What would they say? #writing #writingtips #writesky

Read. Read books. Reading books is resistance. Buy. Buy books. Buying books is resistance. Share. Share books. Sharing books is resistance. Celebrate Celebrate books. Celebrating books is resistance.

Any time you’re watching one of these console or publisher directs, I strongly recommend avoiding the live chat. God forbid a game has a woman or black person as the main protagonist. The cuckaphony will be on full display. These hand loving losers have nothing better to do. 🙄

Look. If you play a game on easy...you're gaming. If you play it on hard, you're gaming. The only way that you're not gaming...is if you're actually not gaming👀

Less "you need to have this specific NPC in your party to initiate this quest because it's deeply tied to their very complicated backstory", more "you need to have this specific NPC in your party to initiate this quest because they caused the problem in question just now while you weren't looking".

Reminder: Can we stop judging people for what they read? If you enjoy reading “dark” or “twisted” storylines it does not mean you have trauma or need therapy. People can separate fiction from reality. Liking a genre does NOT mean you want that in real life. Judge less. Read more 💙📚 #booksky

"But how are indie developers supposed to cope without AI voices in their games? They can't afford professional performers!" I don't get this take at all, given that indie games have generally been without voiced dialogue for decades. And there are so many other options before resorting to AI.

The same people who complained about heavy metal and Dungeons & Dragons being satanic, comic books being immoral and violent cartoons being unsuitable, are the same ones who are crying about 'everything being so woke', and don't you ever forget it.

I will never cease to be amazed by books. Seriously. Just think about it; thousands of people read the same book, but in everyone’s brain’s the characters look different, the setting changes etc. We are all reading the same thing, but it's so unique to each of us. That is a beautiful thing.

You know I was thinking, for you poor DMs who have players whose characters do shitty things that derail or destroy party cohesion, and their only excuse is "It's what my character would do, the next question that should be asked is "Why would you create a character like that?" #geek #D&D #TTRPG #GM

I’m not a fan of micro transactions at all but there is a special place in hell for companies that put them in single player games.

You will never succeed at fighting right wing disinfo with facts. Right wingers believe the first thing they hear & they'll believe it for life. They'll fight to the death about some inconsequential bullshit they just heard 5 seconds ago. You beat them by calling them weird assholes & isolating them

This is the single most important advice any creative person needs to hear. There are of course factors such as financial insecurity or mental and physical impediments (spoons ≠ motivation even though people will tell you they are the same) but when you can, do, whether you feel inspired or not.

drow lore pitch: all surface kingdoms have the exact same conceptualization of drow as the monster manual but when you actually visit them, they're like, slightly more feminist and all the myths are basically the equivalent of right wing youtubers screaming hyperbolic lies for centuries.

Got a few DMs along the lines of “if you hate games so much why make em” But babes - I don’t hate games. I fuckin love em. They’re my favorite art form. I love working on them. They’re complex, weird, and gorgeous. It’s because I love them that I want the people who make them to be treated better
