It might hurt my bottom line, but I’m probably going to stop posting art to Twitter entirely and I suggest you do too. Not only is the site actively putting a “Okay, now remix this” button below art (and elevating them above the OP with a QRT) and it’s false flagging original art as made by AI.

It's the weekend @pcgamer.com. I'll get back to it tomorrow

This is huge. My petition got approved. It challenges the UK government to the lift the Puberty Blocker ban on the grounds that it contradicts article 8 of The United Nations Convention On The Rights Of The Child. Please sign and Repost ✊️🏳️‍⚧️ petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Cleaning up my work computer image folder and found this again

Alas

Cis men truly need to understand the power of saying “that’s fucked up bro why would you say that” to another cis man

Making a video game is insane. If you ever shipped a video game, you’ve achieved a minor miracle.

In 2022, I released my first game on Steam, #SkyCaravan 🚀 It has around 90k words of text (~200 page book) and was nominated for 4 industry awards The whole thing's on Github! github.com/yannlemos/Sk... Help me share this, a shipped complete narrative script is hard to find! #indiedev #gamedev

This Kind of Smart, Walkable, Mixed-use Urbanism is Illegal to Build in Most American Cities.

I've built a machine that can be Confidently Wrong. It can also make pictures that all look a bit the same, as well as make a video of you kissing any celebrity or person you know. In payment, I'd like to boil the world's oceans dry, & steal all literature. For some reason, my head is not on a spike

idk why they call them normal maps they look like really fucked up maps to me

This Elon Musk fake gamer controversy is especially hilarious for me, because of the number of times that I have been accused of being a fake gamer for the crime of playing (often quite well) whilst female - by the exact kind of guy that stans Elon Musk www.theguardian.com/games/2025/j...

A huge year ahead for us. Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 is due for a release! Dev Diary #24 for it is now here - "Legend of the Nomad". We’re diving into our protagonist Phyre, and how you'll shape their journey. Seattle’s fate is in your hands. 👀 www.paradoxinteractive.com/games/vampir...

The Greens, the LibDems, Plaid Cymru, all did better at the last election than ever. They all have very good, progressive immigration policies. Nobody has a clue what they are though. The media only GAF about anti-migrant politics.

Fake beard, new boots And I don't know where I am goin' to Grey robe, hair dye (hair dye) I don't need a reason why They come running just as fast as they can Everyone crazy 'bout a LARP dressed man

Welp, Freejam Games is closing down, so now I'm gonna be looking for work! If anyone needs a Unity developer / C# programmer give me a shout

"Mother created the MAGI, modeling each one after an aspect of a fast food hamburger. Burger as sustenance. Burger as pleasure. Burger as poison."

Elon Musk is a paid subscriber to an active pro-apartheid account. There's no alternate context or gray area to something like this. If you're not disgusted by this, you've picked your side of the line already.

Just written my letter re the Labour AI consultation on letting them drink your copywrited work and you should write one too. app.bsky.cz/profile/edne...

I had to snip out my favourite moment from #TheGameAwards. @laratlarian.bsky.social's words echo the heart of every developer. The industry needs to listen. We just want to make cool stuff for people. #indiedev #gamedev

I just spent half an hour writing a message to Bluesky team about this. Signing petitions and posting @ the team is great too, but please also leave direct comments through official feedback form. If you're on mobile the feedback link is at bottom left in the menu. On desktop it's on the right.

Signed!

Fascinating video on Steam trends, especially these statistics- of all the games released in Steam in 2024, just 2.5% had the "LBGTQ+" tag and 7% had the "female protagonist" tag. This is supposedly the political trend that's overwhelming and destroying gaming. youtu.be/qiNv3qv-YbU?...

Citizen Sleeper 2 has gone GOLD! 🥳 The game is complete 💫 This journey started back in 2020, and it will hit its biggest milestone on the 31st of Jan when the sequel goes live! Thank you for all the support and love, this sequel wouldn't exist without it. Wishlist now: bit.ly/CS2Steam

Apparently as a child the ending of 2001 made me cry. But I no longer feel sad when computers stop working or are turned off. I grew up. I used computers. And now I believe they all deserve to die

I love my favorite podcast, where normal things happen and everyone is fine.

Hi there! I'm currently working on Metal Garden, a short, atmospheric fps game where you travel through an overgrown megastructure. You can check it out here on itch: alexandra-ht.itch.io/metal-garden

Congrats to my old colleagues! Very well deserved awards

I'm so metal even this acronym's lustrous

"Disrupt" is code for "Destroy reliable established services so that money previously widely distributed now funnels into a single source." Just like "AI" is code for "Mine the work humans did in the past so we don't have to pay them for their work in the future." That's why VCs like both words.

Hey! I've announced my next game and I am asking for money already so I can finish making it. :) www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m...

I wanted to do a side-by-side comparison of my #procedural animation to hand-authored animations on some models I bought. This is so I can better study what I need to improve. When I got my comparison tool running for the first time, this is what I was greeted with! Step-height glitch I think. 😅
