#BelovedGames #63

BAFTA pulling a trailer for an autobiographical game about surviving sexual assault only hours before it was said to be a part of a showcase is an exceptionally bad look.

you guys did sooo good 😌 thank you so much for inviting me. what a cool, smart and lovely group of humans 💖

ALT: GAMES 2026 ALT: GAMES is a celebration that brings together the Australian games community and industry, running from 18 – 19 April in Sydney, Australia.

ALT GAMES has a Steam page to Wishlist and play all the beautiful games on display. Do it or I’ll perish 🫵

being thoughtful about what your work may evoke and leaning into those evocations can create some profound effects

and passion is just contagious. we get passionate about the things we have clear reasons for believing in

my theory is that making things that have thoughtful meaning to yourself naturally creates a resonance with others

everything is capable of having meaning, all things are subjective interpretation & every audience member/participant inevitably interprets their own message and symbolism from a thing

oh my hair looks like this now, say hi if you see the one eyed villain 👁️

i’ma be speaking today at the Level Up Tasmania game conference and if you’re there, you should come listen. i wanna hear from you guys what makes a game feel “meaningful” to you :)

4:15pm - Make It Meaningful: How To Make Games People Care About

be there or be triangle 🔻

i was actually stoked when i saw it specifically because it means i now have a backup and hopefully will never have to stress about this again! i love that dang swimsuit

you ever just lose your favourite swimsuit for a year, spend months trying to track down another as they haven't been made in years, then the day after you finally find and buy one (with yelps and whoops of victory), discover where your old one was all along?

don't you just haaate when that happens

@jasonimms.bsky.social yo, message me on discord? @thoughtrise_

bsky is cursed and is blocking me out of DMs even with VPN 🤦‍♀️ if you don’t have disc, hit me up on chantal@whalitf.com — i’m flying in tomorrow and wanna say hi 💖

“so I can use my PC time efficiently”

love this memory 😌

hell yeah 😌 this is so delightful to read. congrats on kicking ass at goals AND talent 🙌

Spectrasonics Distorted Reality sample CD

Spectrasonics Bizarre Guitar sample CD

Cuckooland Ambience sample CD

90s sample CDs in general are such a vibe tbh

You can buy a lot of these in digital form now which is great and convenient, but you miss out on having that tangible bizarro artwork in your mitts

I'm really sorry to hear about your dad and your loss, Sahil. He lives on in you, and that's no empty epithet. It's spirit and voice you carry, as we carry those we love and know their minds. Sending you love and, if you want it, an embrace <3

to not meaningfully reflect on our actions & acknowledge the subjectivity of our experiences, opinions & values is to live in a fool's mind, & often a narcissistic one

i think high self confidence & high self esteem is wonderful and desirable

but it's important to never stop having your check-ins

the version of skyrim i spent 30+ hours modding ended up resulting in my favourite, most immersive emergent narrative gaming experience ever

wow, this is my life in a single sentence

PSA: if you spend 10x as much time modding the game as you do playing it, guess what! you're most likely an unhatched game designer

(or maybe you've hatched and you know exactly what i'm talking about)

I completely agree.

this infused a deep glow into the nerd bulb of my heart, thank you for sharing (and now i'm tempted to keep the keyboard around FOR SCIENCE)

"i would really like to talk with a human... goodbye" felt like one of the saddest things i've ever said in my life

today i had to call someone's personal phone and beg them for a human response

because every avenue i tried to resolve a problem was met with an AI responder incapable of grasping the issue and forcing me into a loop of inanity

i cannot with this 2026 life

see, this is my kind of people 🙌💖😂 respect

a man with his arms outstretched is surrounded by a purple lightning storm . Alt: a glowing transparent figure with their arms outstretched, making a seizing power motion, is surrounded by a purple aura with tiles of eyes popping up in the black background

us? we're mainlined in, we're connected directly to the source

i press the switch directly 🥹 i have become one with the keyboard. i have fully assimilated.

i've been down an O key on my keyboard for two years

today I lost the E key

it's like teeth falling out of my digital mouth

my pleasure 🥰
