Ink a bicycle in perspective. Don't hesitate, be confident. It will look MONSTROUS; you won't want to show to anyone.
And you will feel less afraid

romhacks and fangames are so cool... imho the best thing about them tho is that they help a lot of young developers cut their teeth with gamedev...
fun fact: my first complete visual novel was not "i suddenly became a magical girl"... it was an undertale fangame with alphys as the protagonist.

In an era where corporations are actively pushing for IP law to be bypassed entirely so they can regurgitate plagiarized material to sell back to the world, I'm increasingly of the opinion that making fangames, romhacks, etc the old-fashioned way is cool/punk/a minor act of resistance.

fantastic insights into how to open a game (or even, broadly, a story), with examples that are delightful to unfold and a love for the craft of writing and storytelling that is infectious and propulsive (ingold's specialty).
A short post on the opening lines of a game: how they work, and what they can do. (With examples. Possibly indulgent, but I think the topic is interesting.)
Opening lines
So? How should we begin?

for those of you who, like me, find processing the horrors becomes more manageable when you learn things - this was informative, even if the conclusion is one we already know
🧵In my expert opinion as a researcher of vehicle ramming attacks, what has been publicly described in the video evidence does not support the claim that Renee Nicole Good was attempting a deliberate ramming attack when she was shot in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026. 1/7

losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people
really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

when i was 6, i tried to backflip into a pool.
only i hadn't quite worked out the mechanics of it in advance, so i started by facing the pool, jumped up, and then in mid air i jerked my head BACKWARDS as hard as i could.
plenty of stitches on the back of my head for that one.

What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain.

spirited away, always.
i'd seen and loved princess mononoke before then, but i'll always remember the day a friend showed up with a smuggled bootleg subbed version of spirited away (before disney got the rights for the US release), and i was swallowed alive by that film, consumed utterly.

In honor of Hayao Miyazaki's birthday, what's your favorite Studio Ghibli film? Doesn't have to be the one you think is "the best," just the one that nestled in your heart. Mine is Howl's Moving Castle.

HEY! Heard of 'Why Dinosaurs?' It's a great doc. made by a father & son, exploring paleontology and its influence on popular culture. They interview paleontologists, museum workers, film workers, and others with a deep love for dinosaurs. And now it's FREE to watch!

F) For the love of all that is good and holy stop wondering if your idea is any good! That way lies madness. Your idea, whatever it is, will live or die by its execution. Commit to your idea. Eat and drink your idea. Play with it, have fun with it.
