Oh sorry to hear that Adam ❤️

I'm listening! ABB looks decent...

I struggle but have a friend (or other passing strangers) who can normally jump in and help me topple the bosses.

Your play-through is making me want to return. I never got past the fire giant in my run sadly.

I'm unfortunately reaching the end of the line. I'm desperately trying to save my career & working really hard to get myself into a better position, I'm still going to lose my home & at 45 that's a big thing to have to deal with if you can help me at all I'd really appreciate it. ko-fi.com/robotwig

I would like it in a plane
I would like it on a train
I would like it in a house
I would like it with a mouse

At my first ever games job interview they asked what areas I liked and I said “UI”. Pretty sure that got me in through the door.
I wasn’t lying, but 25 years later it’s been well beaten out of me 😅

I really liked it. I think it and rogue one and the 2 good SW movies of the recent decades.

Unpopular maybe, but absolutely correct.

Trying to replace game journalists with AI is one of the single most stupid uses of the technology I've seen and that is a hotly contested category.

The entire point of written games journalism is the expression of a subjective human perspective: that is the value; that is the purpose.

I hope you find something soon. I’ll keep my ears to the ground for any openings

I always used to love the master system versions the best. Slower paced as a result of the hardware iirc

Goodnight Xbox x

RE Bluepoint:

Having a studio that is expert at remakes, working for a publisher with an insanely deep backlog of beloved classics, was always a recipe for printing money at a steady cadence.

Leave them alone and they print money forever, little or no opportunity cost. Come the fuck on

“Young people don’t drink because they’re going back to work after” haha that never used to stop me 😅

Hey Bluesky.

Thank you so much for the support on the Mythmatch release date yesterday!

Do you think you could maybe help me get over the line to 10k wishlists?

wowzers you got it wrong today. Take a look at some of Philipp's painting streams and backlog of art.

Notepad++ users take note: It's time to check if you're hacked Suspected China-state hackers used update infrastructure to deliver backdoored version.

In case you missed yesterday, Notepad++ auto-update mechanism was hacked and was delivering backdoored versions for a couple months. Tons of devs use this, uninstall completely what you have, search for the sus files mentioned in article and only download from official site

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step.

1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish.

2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

Trump's Davos speech was the act of a madman and that is the only sensible manner in which it should have been covered iandunt.substack.com/p/breaking-t...

From a guy who deplatformed tens of millions of his own users so he could pressure Apple and Google to change what he considered an immoral policy. Billionaire headloss in the 2020s will be a rich topic of study one day, not sure there's been a more dramatic, weird or stupid example than this guy

Ohh will give that a go next time thanks

A tray of drained boiled potatoes. They’ve been boiled for 15 mins so their edges are breaking up.

PSA let your boiled potatoes dry out before roasting them to help guarantee super crisp roasties. I read the tip a few weeks ago and haven’t looked back

Yeaaah boi!

A timeline visually representing the advice from my post, emphasising how dramatically and reliably having more time, with a testable build, converts to your game being better and your studio being safer.

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice:

I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

You'd hope that'd be enough but can't even get the politicians to stop using it. I can see the argument that they need to be where the audience is but it would look like engagement is way down now

"vague cultural reasons" - yeah no, the owner of the site with a mouth piece to millions spreads disinformation and was attempting to whip up division in my country and calling on people to fight. Fuck that site.

I would agree for the most part but as a tired parent, when a film comes in at 100mins or less it’s an absolute treat :)
