I've had parts of this written down for a while - but I thought it was about time to document the detailed version of what happened during Balatro development

The Balatro Timeline — LocalThunk
It’s been approximately 3 years since I began work on Balatro - and in that time I have personally documented almost nothing about the journey. This is something that has bothered me since the game la...

Why I left Epic Games | Sebastian Schöner

Sniped by my own physics, I added rotational energy transfer. What's the point of Pong if you can't "Put English" on the balls and have them bounce accordingly?

FREE GAMES! No, really, the PC has mountains of great games that don't cost a penny. Not even F2P (though I did include some), just FREE. I'm gradually updating a sortable little database of the best out there. Got 125+ so far
Share it around, and let me know if there's anything I should add to it!

I will try to open source my STL replacement lib tomorrow.
It's basically ready but I'd like to finish writing a blog post about the allocators, and with every day being filled with family lunches that end at 18:00, I haven't found the time yet.

I put together a little thread last night - my personal Game Of The Year shortlist, plus a little detail on each game.
Honestly I don't want to try boiling it down or ordering it more than that. I could probably go all week listing cool games that came out this year.

My opinions are ever shifting, but I think my GOTY top ten shortlist right now is (in no particular order)
Selaco
Nine Sols
Lorn's Lure
Angel At Dusk
Arco
UFO 50
Caves of Qud
Path of Exile 2
Robotnik's Ring Racers
Abiotic Factor
Those are the ones that resonated with me, personally.
