PLEASE #twitch #streamers, download one of your VODs to get a look at the size of your videos and your archive. My archive is 2.2TB which is about $9 of server space. I earn Twitch a LOT more than that. Please let them know how utterly foolish of a decision this is!

Now that they had that paradigm shift from overwhelming usability towards user-centered design within an understood limited library, the librarians are SALIVATING seeing where things go from here

You can: go to archive dot org, download vagrant story, put it into duckstation, and have an all time greatest day of your life in like ten minutes. It's bewildering how incredible game emulation is becoming!

It's so wild, but we are creeping up on our next stretch goal which will allow us to add a free print to every order with the print pack! Thank you SO much for all of the crazy support. We want to make this book project as cool as we possibly can for you all 🥹💖 🪷 www.kickstarter.com/projects/242...

Because #Twitch will no longer store long video content, this means the only way they will be able to see or study the history of what happens on Twitch as a platform is to do it via Youtube. This is a profound failure for Twitch as a modern platform to offload their entire history!

Buy my games so I can: * Buy groceries * Pay the bills * Invest in my future work * Pay artists I like to draw my OCs, so I can stare at the drawing for months and show everyone how cool it looks, because I'm completely sane about them. Ah, my games, of course: #gamedev #indiedev #brart #indiebr

Definitely, Ben! The things that have most inspired me are Robin Hunicke's MDA model users.cs.northwestern.edu/~hunicke/MDA... very grounded and easy to approach! Then there's Jesper Juul Half-Real which is closer to the literal game theory archive.org/details/half... That's a perfect starting place

In what possible way can I get @joerichardson.bsky.social and @squinkifer.bsky.social together to work on the loudest most obnoxious and lovely 3hr point & click ever? Finished Procession to Calvary and something about it is so DomPam adjacent. I think it's the confidence! Highest recommendations!
