Life accomplishments: being the first person to spot this Gormenghast reference in Cryptmaster

I am once again tapping a bony digit on this sign.

Thank you, I'll try!

Ooh, I worked on two of these!

Listed in the post! Highly recommend all of these

I must also insist you allow yourself the pleasure of "Cryptmaster," but only if you're the kind of person who likes word games with clever stories and wry, charming narrators.

In honour of @indiecade.bsky.social, my game is currently on sale for a mere 65% of it's True Price! Buying it now will therefore give you a better than 50/50 chance of being spared during the Undead Uprising.🖤

I thought this too. We did a similar thing as kids, usually with a bunch of insults to tease each other. You'd flip the book and say "I am..."

I'm live with more Cryptmaster! I just found out I can tickle him 👀

And she's not in a fur bikini so it would feel super progressive for its time, if only he wasn't so enthusiastically mansplaining something!

Publisher: Can you show a lush, tropical world inhabited by mysterious lost tribes and dramatic, towering dinosaurs?

Artist: Yeah, sure, or at the very least I'll show someone pointing to where it is.

I truly think the first-person thing is a problem. It's very easy to prompt chatbots never to talk in the first person or pretend to have thoughts, feelings or opinions - the only reason they allow it as the default mode is to drive engagement at the cost of users' mental health.

I have again been asked if AI was used to make my game.

For transparency, my minions used generative AI to make all the parts of the game that didn't benefit from a human touch, were too boring to make or not important enough to craft by hand. In other words, we didn't use any generative AI.

My game is once again on sale. All proceeds go directly to my coffers and will be used to fund an undead uprising that may have catastrophic consequences but is probably still better than the plans of other, less scrupulous overlords.

Well said! I feed on souls so anyone relying on ChatGPT is impoverishing my diet...

"I asked ChatGPT and..." Well I asked the Cryptmaster and he said stop lollygagging you undead oaf and get on with it

My human avatar @wiwyums.bsky.social had a lovely time on this podcast being irritatingly festive, listing his favourite games and even revealing some details about the next game from my fledgling studio!🖤

I had a festive blast chatting about favourite games and holiday traditions. Thanks to Roger for having me!

Oh God, don't go through that one, it really is just leaping dogs. It's a novelty until about the 10th time you get knocked over and licked.

I genuinely never thought anyone would hear this line. I underestimated you deviants...
