Hey all! Right now: we're continuing Code Veronica X! Chris Redfield has arrived on the scene, and we're going to hope he can scrounge together enough ammo to survive. Can we manage it? Come in and find out! #vtuber #vsky

So good news! Internet should be good for today and tomorrow to stream! Bad news: they are STILL doing maintenance and are probably picking up on work this week. So I hope you've looking forward to a stream today. Hope to see you there #vtuber #vsky

Current or former Sucker Punch employees!

I'm looking to talk to people about company culture, Ghost of Yotei harassment, and the events that took place last month. I can protect your identity.

It would be immensely helpful for a story I'm working on. My information is signal below.

A TTRPG specialty bookstore "CCFOLIA BOOKS" opened in Tokyo.
You can find many kinds of Japanese TTRPGs there. You should go there when you come to Japan.

I feel like the thing I always find myself thinking when ppl are talking about "oh the gaming audience is awful" is that, like... i'm not sure i believe that so much as I believe that any unmoderated space will inevitably surface the most toxic people (who drive away more-reasonable ones)

Ok so my ISP still says there are going to be outages, so I'm gping go play it safe today. Thinking of maybe recording something to put on the archive once things are more stable

Uncle Bandit @unclebandit.bsky.social · 3d

So update: Looks like the internet is going to be worked on tomorrow as well, however they're going to be doing it early in the day. So kinda hoping they'll be done in time for stream. Fingers crossed! #vtuber #vsky

It's crazy how saving and quitting in videogames is still frustrating to do. Even in games released within the last year!

Here is an explanation of how to design a save dialogue, with a bunch of examples over the decades: rystorm.com/blog/save-ga...

There is no reason to still mess this up.

I watched a lot of WCW back in the 90s and let me tell you that Cody Rhodes burning Disco Inferno on Twitter is the only thing I remember about Disco Inferno's career.

Always be cautious about any person or organization or business or anything really that ties into the so-called "retro gaming culture", especially if they don't let you know where they stand. Because if they aren't upfront about it, they'll let you know after they got your money and attention.

Hey all! So my internet is down at the moment and it's not looking like it'll be back on in time for stream today. If it's back up tonight I might try a stream but otherwise hope to see you Thursday for more Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors. 😄

An argument against live service games: they change without you.

Some, like Dune and Ark, unmake your progress. Others, like Destiny or WoW, leave you behind - or drag you along until you don't recognize where you are.

We talk about respecting the player's time, but what about their choices?

Dan Johnson @coil.bsky.social · 5d

TIL Dune Awakening destroys your base if you go too long without logging in.

Why are we still doing this???

Folks on here probably already know this but Asmongold is a part owner of Mad Mushroom games and OTK (who occasionally runs “direct” style showcases) - he’s no friend to the industry and his labels really ought to be fully shunned

kate bush’s husband @airbagged.bsky.social · 5d

This is legit insane btw:

Roach man whose father died has zero self reflection or growth.

Says he will be happy to do it again because he has no actual skills and his audience fucking sucks

If every time you mention someone (disparagingly mind you, often calling them “freaks” or vaguely referencing legality as if they’re breaking the law) they get a deluge of harassment it’s ON YOU and the community YOU have created and nurtured you absolute turkey

alyssa mercante @alyssamerc.bsky.social · 6d

Incredibly upsetting and frustrating to see someone who has viciously attacked and defamed me do it time and time again to other women and marginalized folks in the video game industry with no consequences.

I’d like to change that.

It sucks that all my amazing artist and writer associates constantly have to beg for cash. It's nice that we can come together and support them as a community but it would be better if some sort of government body took a small portion of everyones income and basically distrubuted it universally
