But can a Herman Miller chair jumpscare people in voicechats? I need my squeakyness in my chair.

What tilts me the most really is that Flame Fatales is an all women and femmes event, giving them a the chance to show off in a male dominated hobby. In the meantime a lot of high caliber prominent speedrunners are on the Speedrun Summit. Makes me really sad.

As a former organizer of onsite events I am fully aware that planning takes some time just like finding a venue etc. but this has been the most unfortunate outcome really. Now they are taking viewers and donators from each other and taking the spotlight from each other which hurts both really.

Im honestly a bit frustrated about the fact that GSA is hosting their speedrun summit even at the exact same weekend as Flame Fatales. I researched it a bit and the event itself was announced quite a bit later than Flame Fatales. Kind of sad to see really.

Nah the rarities are pretty low altogether. Thats the only reason why. Plus it uses an engine that got multiple reprints.

Its interestingly enough the cheapest meta deck in a long time, at least in the EU. You can get the full deck for around 100€, which honestly is a steal compared to other decks.

Tbh, its kind of unfair saying that they ignored marketing. They didnt need it simply due to the last game being already a massive hit. So naturally one trailer and 3 interviews were more than sufficient.
Quite the luxuary as gamedevs not having to worry about marketing.

So for Timmy Day I made a rotcore shitpost golf platformer game (wow thats a mouthful).

If you want to play it, its available in the browser and on Windows/Linux.

Go get golfing:

I cant put it into words really but the new ESA merch shirt looks so uncanny. It genuinely looks AI generated. There are so many elements that are usually results from genAI or genAI tools and not cleaned up properly. I sincerely hope that it is just a human error but I fear they actually used genAI

Also one last thing before I head to bed, I never had to worry about audio normalization before. And as I have quite a lot of sfx in my game, I had to do a lot of audio normalization.
And I really have to learn how to make music eventually. And finally learn how to use a DAW properly.

Dewin Mawr for example was almost exclusively designed that way. I have my small handy notebook at my bed where I keep scribbling down level ideas when I cant sleep.
Or ideas in general. Very useful tool to have at your bed IMO.

Matse007 @matse007.bsky.social · Aug 14

Also for people who are wondering: This is how I still design my levels. I scribble them down either on paper or digitally and then implement them. For example, this is a sketch for one level I implemented:
