If you're not working for an evil megacorp, are you even a real engineer?

I'd make more music, learn a new instrument, make experimental games for my own enjoyment, maybe go back to writing even.

Burnt my fingers bad by forgetting the thing I took out of the oven 30sec ago came out of the oven 30sec ago.

Do you advocate for home birth of games?

Patch notes for Paradox game Imperia Americana v2.0.26b:

High severity
- Sometimes an empire will declare war without casus belli despite previous diplomatic agreement, tank own stability, cause global chaos, and accept a humiliating defeat shortly after. (Can’t fix)
- All portraits are clowns

Oli the pup watching the ducks in a pond

While you were constantly refreshing, Oliver was getting his ducks in a row.

I too would like to know why

Me sowing: This fucking sucks. WTF.

Me reaping: Huh, this turned out kinda ok actu… oh fuck now they’re gonna ask me to sow again

"I wanted you to feel bad": former Battlefield audio designer recalls punching himself to record more realistic gunshot screams Arc Raiders audio director Bence Pajor once created gunshot effects for Battlefield games by hitting himself "to the point that I screamed from real pain".

"... to the point that I screamed from real pain."

Or you could have, you know, played any Battlefield game after Bad Company 2.

I know there are quite a few talented artists here who like drawing spaceships.
Are there any spaceship obsessed pixel artists too? Would love to follow them.

I endorse this message.

It's criminal how much Unity has leaned on asset store creators for basic functionality, for so long. They are the only reason Unity stands a chance as a serious engine in 2026.

I'm getting the sense he's bit of a workaholic.

It's the season for constantly leaving your wallet in the wrong jacket.

Well, she’s allergic to dates so I’m not surprised. But still!

There’s an alternate reality in which my dog is the president of the US, and we’re all better off.

Nintendo switch with hori split pad compact controllers

The recent Nintendo switch system update made my hori split pads unrecognizable. Anyone know what to do? I've done the Google list of troubleshooting and I'm stuck.

I worked on a side-side project this weekend instead of my main side project. Felt good, ngl, but I still need to ship Eilands first.

That’s something I appreciate a lot about Star Wars ship design. Esp the rebel and independent ships, they have such a believable, lived-in look to them.

Looks gorgeous. The kind of game I could never make unless I was rich enough to hire an art team.

*I* just dropped the closest image ever taken of Jupiter. Beat this, NASA.

It’s spread out across half a dozen desktop and web apps, where you have to click the right obscure checkbox or dropdown button labeled with some opaque acronym to hook things up with some other app and continue the same infernal puzzle there

Trying to publish a game on PS5, pretty sure Artemis II had fewer steps in its launch sequence.

Whenever I see the surface of another celestial body up close, this thought pops into my head: "No matter how long you walk, you can never go home."

I tried Mastodon for a bit, but found it a bit hard to find community. Like every person was a jaded 40 year veteran of whatever field they were in, had had all the convos worth having already and showed little interest in other people.

Less than 24 hours to go...

I’m honestly both excited and a bit nervous, it’s almost time 😅

If you’re a creator or journalist, I’d really appreciate any help sharing the news.
