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

redesign of the piece that has gotten me restricted/suspended at least 4 times 😇

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare. Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.” We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

Btw, for my Global Game Jam game, here’s the link for it catliongames.itch.io/pearl-in-pop... I did the movement, bubble attack, and some other bits here and there with programming and design! #globalGameJam #gameDev

Doing Global Game Jam this weekend at my college and it amazes me how inefficient Unity, the supposed easy game engine, is at basic game movement systems like dashes. I spent an hour on ~13 lines of code that would have been 10 minutes and 4 lines in Godot. Conclusion: Unity is an O(n^2) game engine

"Run Away Together" has been one of my most popular prints for 2024. It’s an #illustration I did for #MagictheGathering #Bloomburrow release. Prints are now 20% off until tomorrow (Saturday Dec 7th), when I close shop for our end of the year break. studiorayyan.etsy.com 🐸🦦💚 #art #frog #otter #love

I made this piece after seeing DougDoug’s charity stream for Rosa the Sea Otter 🦦 otters are considered a keystone species because they are a vital part of keeping kelp forest ecosystems healthy! #seaotter #art #biodiversity #nature #SciArt

#1 social media tip: Believe in kindness. Interact with people you like, support them, help them get traction. Comment on their art, cheer them on, share a shop post. Be selfless. Kindness blossoms into more kindness. It will take you far. People who stick together, grow together.

If anyone knows other positive game dev streamers/youtubers feel free to link them here with a reply. We need more good eggs in the space

I know that like, it’s the cool thing to dunk on PirateSoftware right now. I don’t give a shit about the WoW beef but it’s super upsetting to see him not take a step back and just say “my bad” for platforming a hateful and toxic person, then screaming about cancel culture like like he’s Nancy Mace

You ever just like, 80% of your git commits are normal and mildly explain what it does and then the other 20% you got so pulled in by by the bug that when you fixed it a mania overcomes you and you make the commit title something like “I AM THE GREATEST WIZARD EVER” Just me?

Very excited because we just submitted 2 games we’ve made for classes to be published by the school! The first one is an arcade-like game thats in the final stages of development. The other is a precision platformer I’ll showoff at FWA! This is my undergrad capstone project and am ver proud of it

Not a big marvel fan but I think Marvel Rivals has a promising start. I agree with calling it the overwatch killer because the game actually has interesting direct and indirect interactions as well as not having a reliance on slow barrier gameplay like OW became 1/9

Me: buys a steam deck My first thought: YAY I CAN TEST GAME BUILDS ON IT! Part of me could care less about gaming on it, i just wana do dev stuff and side load games on it for travel

Stuff like this is why you need to stop giving these fools attention/dunks and just block (especially twitter newcomers). They’re annoying you and halting progress **on purpose**. They only want to be seen and are not worth your time when you can be doing better endeavors with your life & other ppl

Having finals week be directly after Thanksgiving break is cruel and unusual

What made you start “getting political”? So about 8ish years ago I was a little 14 year old gay boy in my last year of middle school and starting high school when it felt like the Idiot in Chef was poking the bear that was north Korea. I remember the start of history class we looked at twitter…

Shoutout to mental health hotline workers this past week.

Maybe the Star Trek community can help me out here. What is Bussard and why does it need to be collected? Wrong answers only.

Ben here hosts Greatest Trek and has an important question for our times. Please thoughtfully consider.

I feel like the people at Paizo who both designed then redesigned the Swashbuckler need like, an award because just READING the class is fun. I have never had so much fun reading a class. The title gives a fantasy and it DELIVERS with no apology #pathfinder #pf2e
