Happy birthday, Dad. Time to come back now, it’s all gone a bit rubbish without you. ❤️❤️❤️

Food for thought. External QA, animators, voice actors, and musicians deserve to be part of the narrative of game makers.

the moment I saw this commercial as a kid my mind was blown. I had no idea a Mario game could look THIS GOOD. All I knew is I that had to have a SNES. Period.

i love this guy <3 everyone in the area knows him, he's *extremely* social yesterday I had to carry him out, purring and kneading in my arms, from a stranger's apartment, bc he convinced me he lived there I found out his name is EB, short for "Efterbliven" ..the swedish word for "retarded" 💀😭❤️

How playing Blue Prince feels

not that i take fault in people pursuing realism in digital media, but as realism becomes more real & infallible (speaking globally: computer graphics, sampled instruments, voice synthesis, "intelligence"), it's the impressionistic and blatantly artificial that speaks more to me as an artist

Buddy Guy says it was a 'dream come true' to appear in #Sinners "Whatever can help the blues stay alive, I’m all for it" (via Variety)

truly iconic that machine games has made a legacy for themselves as the “we make games where you punch Nazis in the face a lot” studio, i love that for them

David Harbour says he has known Pedro Pascal since they were 17 years old "We were in the same play and we auditioned for roles… He got the lead, even back then. He was so talented and attractive. I've been mad at him for 30 years" (via ET | #Thunderbolts)

Truly insane to have a years-long harassment campaign because gamers don’t understand how video game development cycles or credits work.

Madison Beer shares why she was dropped by her management at sixteen: “When I was 14, I remember people being like, “She’s too sexy” and “We can’t sell that because she’s so young, so we’d have to wait.” This was a real conversation, grown men talking about how I was too sexy. I was 14.”

Unfortunately we're experiencing some unplanned downtime right now, should be back shortly. See you soon!

Half the time I don’t even know what to post anymore. It all feels like it isn’t enough. Funnier still is the mix of fandoms that come together because my mix of stuff is wild. My fingies are buried in pies of various flavors, I get stuck not knowing how to show it all to you. 😭

Spain, Portugal and other European countries have been hit with a major power outage.

I think people underestimate just how much stuff is in Slay the Princess. Slay the Princess has about 5,000 HD illustrations, 150 tracks of music, and 12,500 voice lines. They add up! Our games have a *lot* of dynamic art, which means constantly redrawing characters in new backgrounds and contexts

I tweeted this before I understood the full scope and ambition of this game... holy crap. If you're into visual novels, don't miss this one. It's like if Danganronpa and Virtue's Last Reward had a baby that took a bunch of growth hormones

There is a ton of Star Wars material--games, books, comics, movies, and even some TV--that isn't exclusively on Disney+. And if the targeted boycott changes, we'll cross that bridge. We know we are good about talking about spaceships and aliens together. There are a lot of spaceships and aliens.

good news for men like me who like going to the gym but do not have any nutrition discipline.

Really grateful to have @pewpewbang.bsky.social. Been looking for a video game podcast that doesn't sound like the ones I'm on. Just great work.

Every single *popular* game that releases and has frame-time issues always has hundreds of comments on YT where people contradict the evidence presented in the video. The thing with frame-time issues is that they are almost always universal; regardless of hardware. Yet people deny their existence.

#RevengeOfTheSith re-release opened to $42.4M at the worldwide box office 🎞️ It's now grossed $893M all-time 💰

Canada told the Trump-wannabe to kick rocks. There's a lot of ugliness worldwide and a ton of work to do, but Canadians took a stand, and that matters a lot. Now for a big ol' chocolate milk.

It's immersion breaking and bad game design IMO. Unless there's a diegetic reason to be able to rewind on decisions, it shouldn't be in a game. And from the accessibility side of things we have dialogue history and a robust save system anyways.

Thinking about how I've been applying for jobs for 14 years now and the last time I received an interview was in 2016 every time someone tells me "yeah it's been SO hard lately"

nice to leave the theater from seeing sinners & see this news 🤍 love to be able to breathe also great movie

Small bit of advice; if you're using a regular mouse daily see if you can get either a drawing tablet, ball mouse or vertical mouse on the side. Switch them around every few days, it really helps avoid injuries and strains. For me a vertical mouse works best as secondary 🐭
