I make breakfast. I power up my PC to log on on to write video games. The president says he wants to unleash the military to kill U.S. citizens on American soil. I respond to a few emails. Gotta take inventory of what still needs signoff before script lock on Friday.

Just to be clear these are war crimes. And any committed (small d) democrat should make it clear if/when they win power they will prosecute every war crime.

Hegseth: "We unleash overwhelming and punishing violence on the enemy. We also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country. No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement."

5 months after the jam that brought SCOPECREEP to life, I'm proud to say the Steam Page as now launched! If you like incremental games, make sure to wishlist it!

Also, it would mean the world to me if you spread the word!

hades 2 is the first game that’s made me happy i sprang for the switch 2. the colors look excellent on the (somehow not OLED) screen, quick resume is perfect for a game like this obviously, and the battery life is stellar so i can just leave it lying around the house between long sessions

Often people who wouldn’t hurt a fly are the most dangerous of all. They’re getting heaps of brownie points within the fly community then BAM hitting you with ‘huge swarm of flies’ special attack

Today is the 23rd anniversary of the... Mid Atlantic Gamers Festival?

With help from @magfest.org and @kohler.bsky.social, we've assembled a collection of archival materials that tell the story of the first MAGFest event from 2002!

archive.gamehistory.org/folder/198d0...

A flyer for the Mid Atlantic Gamers Festival at the Holiday Inn Tanglewood in Roanoka, VA, September 27-29, 2002.

"2000+ square feet main game room. Guest video game voice actors. Industry insiders. Game developers. The first video game convention by fans for fans that is non industry, non trade show."

A promotional booth for the first MAGFest, titled the Mid Atlantic Video Game Festival. They're playing Devil's Crush on a Commodore monitor.
