world map making is fun. I can create not-australia and make it perfectly accurate and able to host the correct capital city

Happy "Microsoft trying to force CoPilot subs" day in the UK for all who celebrate. (They just pinged me my renewal notice with it carefully worded to sound like a compulsory general price increase). 1) Go to your account page 2) Hit cancel 3) Change sub back.

how does one test an ARG...

"how would you discipline your kids" easily. i'd sit them down and take away every game except the lion king for the snes

Sorry, as someone who's somewhat invested in the games industry, the price needs to go up. For both indie and triple A titles. Inflation has hit everything EXCEPT videogames, and the expectation to ship insane units or nuke a studio is killing careers.

i love how the sentiment is 'creators, somehow manage 10 different socmeds at the same time at full throttle' as opposed to 'if you like someone's work, follow them everywhere'. SocMed management is a full-time job with just 2-3 platforms if you want to maintain momentum....

A game everyone should play at least once in their lifetime. #FinalFantasyVIII

i love this app. i love the little fantasy of being able to control my coziness level, of being able to have a fire going whenver, to have total control of my work environment. It's lovely.

GAME JAMMERS! I wrote a thread with tips on how to build a team, how to find one, and some general advice for participating in game jams! itch.io/jam/road-tri... #RoadTripJam2025 #gamedev #indiedev

if you want artists to make weirder art, you have to create stable living conditions that allow them to. homogeneity isn't a matter of artists lacking culture-- there are many soulful artists out there-- it's a matter of unregulated corporate dominance combined with artists who cant afford to create

Final Fantasy VIII ~ ファイナルファンタジーVIII (1999) Developed by Squaresoft.

We used this for a cooking segment in a visual novel project (unreleased)-- they're super cute and there's massive variety, please check them out!

I’m sorry you went through that, or that went through you, or however you want to refer to your impalement

I'm uncomfortable with the inevitable "his work was always crap" because it seems to say "you can tell who the predators are by how well they write" and ... no no you absolutely cannot, that's the whole point.

A simple guide to avoiding cancellation: 1) Keep your hands to yourself. Fans & colleagues aren't there for your sexual gratification. 2) No, really. Keep your hands to yourself. 3) Don't say hateful shit. 4) Avoid thinking hateful shit. It's not hard. 5) That's it. Hands. Hateful shit. Really.

why do I feel anxious

i love book research

chekov's arsenal for when you know you'll have many, many guns

Yes I also hate this. Bad people make good art, good people make bad art, stop using the art to judge the moral goodness of the person.

AI is for people who hate the craft & mistake art for its end product

i want to make content for the lucifer tv series - SPECIFICALLY the TV series - and I'm running into a moral conundrum because of Gaiman creating the characters originally. Like, where is the line drawn? The show is loosely based on the comic series, that was based on Gaiman's work.

They've paywalled the #NeilGaiman article by Lila Shapiro, so here's an archived version. Be warned, it's deeply disturbing. archive.is/HJtxW

i'm so fucking sick of digusting cretin men

i watch a show to get inspired and while I am inspired its not in the right respects but, tbf, any writing is good writing

im gonna be real one of my favourite styles of flashback episode is where all of the main cast have brushed upon each other but its not time yet iirc og Heroes did a REALLY good one, i should rewatched the first 2 seasons some time

some of the crap that comes out of lucifer's mouth has made me audibly go 'WHAT.' on multiple occasions nothing ooc so far he's just a whackjob

who tagged the lucifer tv show with 'sick, irreverent, fantasy' yup it is a tv show please leave your moral christian high ground at the door (a show about finding faith and redemption so, good job missing the point too)

you know what i've realised. the whole 'american accent is the real accent english should be spoken with' sounds like complete fucking rubbish. Who came up with that? An American linguist? You're going to tell me that England-- country of disparate townships with differing accents-- evolved more?

sure

Boss made a dollar, Grandad made a dime. But that was a poem From a simpler time. Boss made a thousand, Gave my Dad a cent. But that coin paid the mortgage, Or at least it paid the rent. Now bosses make a billion, And give us workers jack. Then smugly blame society, For the labor that they lack.
