Hey everyone! The remaster I've been working on for like 6 years is out! It's a remaster of my 11 year old game InFlux! It's a marble-rolling puzzle game! You can buy it! Please leave positive reviews for it so the algo doesn't immediately bury it?!?! Ily

One thing I keep hearing about my puzzle game INFLUX REDUX is "i didn't think i would like it because i'm not into puzzle games but it isn't what i expected". WELL. I made it and I'm not into puzzle games either. OR ball rolling games. I haven't played ANYTHING. so buy it and find out if you like it

I just remembered to be mad at the fact that, I'm told, none of the people who worked on VTMB2 at Hardsuit before it was ripped from them by Paradox and shat out by The Chinese Room ended up being credited, only Special Thanksed. Who else wants to get mad

I am cursed to never be able to forget where they took the sequel to Sands of Time (a story about a stuck up rich boy getting humbled and becoming a sweetheart) or get over the fact that This Fucking Guy Just Put His Tattoo On The Prince

now that all the games press is gone, we only have the loudest gamers to rely on when trying to get a vibe of whether a game is good, which is extremely worse than nothing
all you hear about any game that comes out now is "it's shit" or "it's fucked" regardless of how shit or fucked it is

like cool, this is irrecoverable. everything notable that comes out on a level below "instant massive phenomenon" is subjected to indiscriminate negativity on a scale that changes the entire public perception of it in a way that definitely fucks it financially even if it's great

It does make me feel like a complete killjoy because it’s nice that everyone loves these two idiot vampires I grew up on but im not sure two vampires screaming ‘I’m gay’ in an admittedly millennial way out loud for a whole season is really what I get from the vampire chronicles as a series

I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.
