i partially agree despite really enjoying the game right now, don’t know if they meant it but the game’s story heavily leans on that theme of loops like life & death. either way not that it is communicated super well in this trailer, if it was even the point

woah, was making unrelated banter did not know this happened :(

empath lawyer over here yep checks out

happy birthday my

hot damn that’s a good looking shotgun model

hello big media corporation lackeys surveying the Internet for popular opinions I would pay good money for prime time tv like this

all my friends will play ball

I wanna buy adventures of ball at full price and give you all of my money

I found these old map and logo concepts I did ages ago for a game idea I had. A Front Mission-esque game set during the Cold War called Volk Vandals. I may wanna revisit these for fun

it just works, now on the go

Heading into 2026, I'm still looking for fulltime or contract work as a senior writer or narrative designer. If you need someone who can write sharp characters, poetic prose, and emotional stories, I'm available! You can find my portfolio here: www.hazelmonforton.com

The art is incredible, will this release with global shipping? this has to be one of the prettiest physical print designs I've seen

I’ve been in game dev for 26 years and I can’t remember any other time where a specific tech was being insistently and persistently pushed on devs as a group in the public sphere.

Why would it? Cui bono? Why would any given dev have an interest in other devs using tech they don’t have a stake in?

The buildup is the fun part, even if the conclusion turns out to be just "okay".

Bummed that this is an unpopular opinion, I think my favorite shows (or the ones with the fondest memories of all time are nearly all considered slow burns or at least just very very long

This is about as out of touch as you can get, which is actually rather in character for a platform of squares

Concept art, ideating, temp and placeholder art is where the magic happens. It's also a place for more junior folks on a team to contribute work and get better at it. There is no GenAI replacement for that experience and collaboration. It's going to hurt the team and project in the long term.

firefox will do literally anything but do what their user base ask of them, which is not that much

Am exclusively using Sudoku on my phone now, although I do have Vampire Survivor for obnoxiously long commutes. Have been reading more books and articles in a long while too

Don't know if it's cliché to say but I'm feeling more "in the moment" as a result. I think?

bungie corporate must've forgotten to fire their marketing team because they're still producing absolute peak like always

game looks to be heat too but i'll watch cautiously this time

Four doubloons-nay, five

have you perhaps considered posting about godot more?

off the top of my head can't think of a better example than half life 2 canals when it comes to this conversation (even if I still like it... on repeat playthroughs it's just a bit long)

the thought that someone must've at least once trolled the neighbouring tribe and got banned off the local smoke signal chain

boomer shooter^2

we're finally at that part of the year where tim is asking valve to worsen their user experience in a really poor way I don't know why he thinks this does anything but give him had press

yeah that's way more reasonable, if someone started plowing snow outside my house at 1 am when I have a long day tomorrow I'd be pissed, hoping they reschedule for everybody in that neighborhood lol
