Didn't really have much to add to the Steam awards, as I've mostly been playing through my backlog, so I've just nominated Spirit Swap by @softnotweak.bsky.social for most categories because why not?

The whole family is now part of the current flu epidemic statistics. Pretty miserable, but would have been moreso if we hadn't taken the vaccine. Be prepared people (in Japan), it's probably coming for you too.

I have a pixel 8 since last year because my pixel 4 got smashed. That was the only reason and the 8 was the oldest, cheapest model available to purchase. Zero desire to upgrade.
The story about people holding electronics longer is interesting. My Steam Deck is years old and I still love it. I used a Pixel 8 and don't even know what the newer models have added and don't care. There's no reason to upgrade. No one is making anything different or cool.

Is it my imagination or is there (even) more right-wing propaganda on TT's fyp these days? I try to keep my feed as clean as i can with aggressive blocking but it seeps through anyway like the toxic sludge that it is.

Kid's got a nasty fever and she's "making" me build Lego for her, so you know, swings and roundabouts.

My dad brought home a "portable" work PC and showed me Flight Simulator (1). I started drawing cartoons in CAD (he's an engineer). When I was graduating from AudioVisual Design and thinking of a career in video - not being excited - I remembered I like games, making digital art and, well, history.

The Amazon Black Friday Market in Roppongi Hills, with its raffles and colouring, is giving strong Temu vibes. No amount of ¥¥¥ wasted on fake snow is going to make this look any less of a consumerist carnival of the damned... We're so cooked.

It's so scary being a parent, having your child live in a world where CEOs openly talk about how some kids are just going to have to get hurt so that more kids can get addicted to gambling so they can continue to grow their wealth and somehow enough people nod along with this. Crazy. Smh 😓

to say it plainly: everyone was all about indie when only white men with access to Steam and other resources that allow you to focus on your art project were doing it in the 2010s. Now that others have broken in, funding has magically dried up and the industry is “dead”, according to the same guys.

If these companies are so convinced genAI is the dog's knees why do they always pretend it was just "placeholder art, not REAL, not-terrible art that we were planning to put there but forgot" when they get caught? You fired 80% of your workforce for this, now lay in that bed of filth!

Attention Indie Devs!
I just need 15 seconds ... of your game footage! A lot of people jumped on the 15s video trend, so I thought it would be cool to make a compilation to help indies get some visibility.
The anti-spam key is "kook".
