white people cannot even attempt to beautifully mutilate the english language the way east asians can and have for decades

everyone on BlueSky recently

we gotta ban the words "slot machine" from any game design discourse

After an appeal from my publisher, Balatro has been reclassified by PEGI from 18+ to 12+ This is a good step from PEGI - bringing nuance to their ratings criteria that used to be 18+ or nothing. I hope this change will allow developers to create without being unfairly punished

the next revolution in the web is bringing back the fun in The Search and The Discovery

I would really like it if the people I have to interact with on the daily, who are purely consumers and not creators, would 1/ stop determining the value of any piece of media as a binary good or bad (& not letting that decide if they should experience said thing); 2/ try fucking making something

From @bigflan.bsky.social's yuri lowell prints a gun to plundercore and plunderludics. I wrote an introduction to videoludic détournement for The Bunker magazine, with comments from @johnleeerg.bsky.social and the plunderludics working group (Mut, Gurn Group, @jwhop.bsky.social) [article in EN]

The Queerness and Games conference is looking for speakers and games to showcase! Montreal, Sep 26-28 😸 www.qgcon.org/cfp

me and my friends in gamedev

this confirms something i have long suspected, which is that certain people are told that their professional and academic failures are because of “affirmative action” or “DEI” as a way to avoid difficult conversations about their mediocrity www.wsj.com/lifestyle/ca...

was reading auratriolo.com/blog/2025/01... and how the vast majority of indies don't make it past their first game got me thinking about how i've been doing this fulltime for 10 years and released 5 games in that time absolutely wild to think my situation is somehow what success looks like

i hate how the move to 小红书 has given a bunch of americans the gall to call themselves “refugees” over installing an app

one last time for the road

new you are error! I spoke to @mikebithell.bsky.social about how the myth of the solo indie dev has helped convince people that indie games are cheap to make – and, in turn, that we can ride out the current games industry crisis by waiting for indies to save the day aftermath.site/you-are-erro...

The fantastic game jam @ludumdare.com is sadly not running any events in 2025 as host Mike Kasprzak is struggling financially. While Mike isn't specifically asking for donations, he does have a Patreon which helps cover the jam's expenses. Perhaps we can help? www.patreon.com/c/mikekasprz...
