Tired of talking about this with people but I feel as a poc person I need to be doing a “certain type of game” to get attention from those promoting poc games (hard societal discussions game) or (wholesome game) otherwise it’s unfitting for my societal place and won’t be accepted for opportunities
sigh. shouldn't have spent the blog era being an eight year old :/
super mario bros 2023 is slop. it is super mario bros 1993 that is cinema.

I’ve had the same editor since 1967. Many times he has said to me over the years or asked me, Why would you use a semicolon instead of a colon? And many times over the years I have said to him things like: I will never speak to you again. Forever. Goodbye. That is it. Thank you very much. And I leave. Then I read the piece and I think of his suggestions. I send him a telegram that says, OK, so you’re right. So what? Don’t ever mention this to me again. If you do, I will never speak to you again

Every AI commercial is like "Hey AI, what goes good on a sandwich?" and then the AI is like "Have you considered... cheese?" And then the narrator is like: THE FUTURE IS HERE.
A 4chan screenshot split in two, attributed to my original characters. Gabriel: What are some examples of quality slop? Movies people only like because they're good? Niecy: What?
I really don't want to have to hand it to Imagine Dragons.
personally Wind Waker is one of my favorites! and ngl I don't blame anyone with a grudge against Ocarina of Time lmfao I kinda got a grudge against A Link to the Past
basically Ocarina of Time bar for bar with some fancy additions, objectively making it the Zeldaiest 3D Zelda
as in, after they're done, should they play Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, or Skyward Sword? my thought is Wind Waker however they did have a roommate who owned a lap harp and recognized when I played Ballad of the Goddess so it might be more familiar... however however Twilight Princess is-
y'all if my bestie is playing BotW for the first time and I lowkey want to see if they'd be a ZELDA Zelda fan and not just a BotW fan, which is the Zeldaiest 3D Zelda you can give someone to try that won't have them bristling with 90s jank?
#ldJAM I'm IN!
This will be my 20th Ludum Dare. The last one produced this:
a ghostbusting "physical" arcade game where you suck "ghosts" (actually air holes push ghosts toward you) with a "ghost vac".
I don't condone crunch culture, but game jams are not exactly that. It's for me :)
I never did finish 17776

Great article. It’s especially frustrating being in games (often a white space with a white audience) and having folks attribute linguistic disconnects to not being online enough or young enough when it’s really a lack of understanding of Black slang and/or AAVE.
Not to start a fight but 'stop paying attention to the weirdos' re: pragmata is also not a good take.
Very specific design choices were made that, whether intended or not, are having sn impact and that's worth discussion.
Sad to hear about Ludum Dare beginning to wind down, but I think it's maybe good for people to be reminded how many of the things they consider indispensable institutions are really a single-digit number of people (often a single person) working very long & hard for little to no money

Marlene cooked with this one.
you have to ask yourself, when marketing your game, is the audience you are trying to market to worth the headache that will come with it? do you want people to associate your game with certain groups or others?
that's the thing about the execution of this game that I clocked all the way back in june. We're gonna be up to our fucking eyeballs in dogwhistles and accusations of dogwhistles
genuinely an insane milestone wtffffff 🥹
