I'm making a versus physics puzzler called Color Capsules! It's a multiplayer game in the style of Suika Game with a focus on knocking things around and unlockable cosmetics

it's not FOR us

edited comic panel. Batman is breaking a lump-with-handle cow tool over his knee and saying "this is the tool of the cow. we do not understand it. we will not use it."

2koma. panel 1 depicts a maid dutifully in dogeza, implied to be for quite some time. panel two shows it lifting its skirt on the sly to reveal knee pads to the viewer

One of my main issues with video games is that they often don't aspire to look sick as hell.

The only kind of climate change I can approve of 😌

Two big red cats circle a terrified hog encased in ice. The cat's tails are flames and melt the ice partially, exposing some pig butt and giving it a singe. "Uh-oh Step-Pig, I'm Stuck...!" ok I made the joke for you so you don't have to. Hot ham smoke emits from the pig and spells "BECOME AN" and melted ice on the bottom spells "ICE-FREE ZONE"

i was literally *just* thinking about something tickles that part my brain. the never discussed, very strange recurring concept in deltarune that teases at the edges of "out of bounds" or seeing beyond what the game is. spamton seeing heaven? maybe. but, i mean stuff like this. what toby is on?

i think the (false) paradox of "the cozy game" is that it's far more memorable when there are elements of weirdness / unknowns / uncertainty in the world to it, like how early animal crossing neighbours were kinda mean sometimes and sims 1 is sorta creepy sometimes. the friction of consciousness

Look. I totally get the despair and frustration. But every couple of weeks someone else is asking "where's press coverage for indie games?" and like, have you been under a rock? It's been torn to pieces my dudes! The devastation of games media has been widely talked about!

trying to start fights on Tumblr just to feel something

Screenshot of a Tumblr post I made that says "of course 90% of the Aeirth/Cloud fanart is AI. Like ooof cooourse it isss. Youpeoplehavenotaste. Tifa/Cloud or better yet Aeirth/Tifa. The more dominant one comes first before the slash. :)" with the hashtags "No hate" and "I liked Aeirth/Cloud when I was 12 too"

Meme image in which Princess Daisy says, "Are you tired of going apeshit? Don't you just want to be nice?" Her face looks softly dejected.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

thinking about "favorite game" as a term. what's it mean? is it a game that is good, or a game you are fond of? does a favorite game remain a favorite under different circumstances, like if you were suddenly the last person on earth but liked mario party? bad rats is one of my favs, but not to play
