thank you so much! it's probably the thing I've worked the hardest to improve at the last couple years, so that means a lot to me.

yeah I feel you. I personally derive more inherent joy from competitive FPS than games like Balatro, but I also find them to be sticky and extremely easy to over-indulge in when I get into them- which leads to playing past the point of enjoyment

I'm very lucky that the job I work to support my game dev efforts is talking to game devs who inspire the fuck outta me.

Jeremy Jayne @jeremybjayne.bsky.social · 21d

agreed, they do great work!

Extremely honored to have the opportunity to interview the inimitable @brycebucher.bsky.social about 500 CALIBER CONTRACTZ, his creative process, and the sense of old-internet mystery that his games evoke.

Go wishlist this game, go play Fatum Betula, go support Bryce's work!

the iron keep runback to Smelter Demon in DS2 (at least in SOTFS, been a while since I played vanilla). it's so over the top. just tons of dudes running out to meet you on lava bridges, appearing behind you, ranged guys, etc. weird finicky treacherous walkways. all for a totally optional bossfight.

hahaha it's a small world!

once had upstairs neighbors call the cops because my roommate and I were discussing a movie at a normal volume. it violated the upstairs-downstairs paradigm so radically that I managed to get out of that lease early (also they were insane)
