It's starting to look like a game! A game where you match 3 to put top hats on dogs on win the approval of Dog Abe Lincoln! Obviously!! #BYOGameJam

Today, February 24, in 1989, FBI agent Dale Cooper enters the town of Twin Peaks for the first time (Twin Peaks, "Northwest Passage" s01e01, 1990)

Video games let us live out fantasies like "having enough eggs"

number of times I've thought "I really should use a recursive function here" at work: maybe four number of times I've thought it during this game jam: maybe ten thousand

Hey, y'all should check out my friend's Kickstarter and back it if you like party games www.kickstarter.com/projects/mag...

#magfest haul In my defense, this is mostly from the upgraded merch tier and trinket trading! And the little free library. Oh and I made the perler in the maker space. Um. Does anybody want a chili dog air freshener

today's the last day to vote for the IGF audience award, if there's an IGF-nominated game that you'd like to support [shrug/eyebrow/gestures at amphora of slime] informa-tech.formstack.com/forms/27th_a...

Ah, yes, I remember playing Balatro 95 back in my dad's office

MAGFest is so fuckin cool

This is what I post from

Passed a group in vestments this morning. While I was trying to decide what game they were cosplaying, I noticed the the pope's staff had a gold moka pot on top. They offered me "cold brew communion" with cinnamon toast crunch wafers. Who were these people and how do I join this order? #magfest

All set up and ready for #magfest2025 ! Even got to sneak in a few rounds of Black Emperor while I was waiting to set up 🤫

game designers!!! the day is here! Polaris 2024 reports are released: polarisgamedesign.com/reports/ and my group's is about how and when and why you might want to make your game's characters less obedient to the player's whims: polarisgamedesign.com/2024/enrichi...

Made a vision board for 2025 (Also I'm trying out pixelfed for personal photos, feel free to follow me) darkweb.lol/p/nextlevelb...

90s 3D render: Power Source by Zax Dow (1993)

A couple of friends biking to the park. 🚲 Drawn in Procreate on an iPad Pro, 2022 I want to make more bike art, especially since I started biking again when I moved to Portland. (Where there are less hills than Seattle, and an apparently bigger bike culture.)

Good news on the Oscacomp front: I now have in my possession one REAL copy of the game, hot off the presses in China. And it looks good! So now I just have to sit around and wait for the other 499.

If you have a Bally/Williams pinball game from the '90s and it starts doing weird stuff that doesn't make any sense (like, say, repeatedly delivering balls or reporting errors which the testing diags show shouldn't exist) ...reseat the CPU on the main board.

Been gearing up for #MAGFest Indie Arcade pretty hard this week. I finished the new build of the controller, and I feel really good about it, like, internally, I did a much better job with the wiring this year. It's almost like I've learned things with practice 🤔

Been experimenting with this lately -- What if you had to play that old arcade game with the lights in order to move around? #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #godotengine

after days of grifters and con men at CES we stumbled upon the booth for VLC. they were all dressed as wizards and told us, "we have nothing to sell, we just decided to show up". i told them I'd been using their software to pirate media for 15 years and they said "keep doing that"
