simple and minimal artwork depicting a green eye crying into a gray line. after passing the gray line, the water becomes a beautiful rainbow, and is finally absorbed by pink waves.

on the gray line are the words "doesn't it feel great" in a fancy italic font.

I don’t I have onedrive on, all my files are saved locally and it asks to enable it every month or so. And my license is attached to my ms account so I already had that and don’t mind it, but

Tour-Bus Trouble #gamedev #indiedev #blender

DJ Fuzz an orange orb dude with blue headphones is in a desert and his tour bus breaks down and there's a flat tire because it ran over a piece of cactus. He's shocked by this and has big cartoony bulging eyes coming out of his head because of it.

With almost laughably low power, a monochrome screen, and unique controls, niche-micro console Playdate shouldn't make any sense in a world of modern gaming. Yet, it's near impossible not to love it. www.wired.com/story/three-...

Gamma @gammagames.bsky.social · 15d

My neighbors had that on NES and we played it so much, still one of my favorites from the platform!
