I got so stoned at a Mets game once I compared the Jumbotron to the top screen of a Nintendo DS bc it had “a bunch of useful contextual information” and the field to the bottom screen bc “it’s where the game is actually played”

Steel thyself, child, and focus on the pins. Just as in life, you may only take one step at a time. But take care; every step removes yet another pin from the triangle of fate.

Leave but one, you're genius. Leave two, you're purdy smart. Leave three and you're just plain dumb. Leave four or more...

Today is the day to tell a strange story.

The long version we'll tell later, but the short version is this. In an attic, in his late great-uncle's house, @jon.inkle.co found a locked trunk. It took twenty years to open. Last summer he did.

Inside was a wiring diagram, and a stack of books.

Hey folks, I often do posts calling for indie developers to link me their games so I can signal boost them. Today I want to do something similar for all trans creatives.

If you are a trans game dev, artist, writer, streamer or YouTuber, reply here with a link to your work. Only one rule: no GenAI.💜

Had a very stupid idea. Just created a gimmick account, I want to see if it can get any followers without me influencing it in any way (no reskeeting, no promotion, no followbacks, etc)

I have a confession to make. I don't actually know who Olivia Nuzzi is, or what she did.

in the early 2000s Rebecca took the time to chat over IRC with a teenaged and gender-confused Me on the practicalities of transition - in a time where being out as trans online was something that could get you socially ostracized. I owe her a lot for that and only hope I can pay it forward.
My trailblazing game industry bad-ass friend Rebecca Heineman has passed away.

Fuck cancer.

Beatblock may look simple but this rhythm-action game is absolutely brilliant (and brutal)

Beatblock has such a simple style to it that it may fool you into thinking it's a rather basic game, but the rhythm-action is provides is properly good.
