A screenshot from the game 'Hytale'. The landscape is full of green foliage, sunflowers and lavender. In the foreground, a young, green Kweebec is emoting beside a chicken and their baby chicks.

Bottom-right, a message reads, "Happy Easter from the Hytale team".

Whether you are hunting for eggs or enjoying the spring weather, the Hytale team wishes everyone a very Happy Easter! 🥚🐰 #Hytale

A picture of Grandpa Simpson yelling at a cloud has been hastily composited with menu bars on all sides.

I'm sorry to be so "Old Man Yells at Cloud," but please just let me ask, do you remember when the menu bar was at the top and everything was up there? Why do we want a menu on the left, and a menu on the right? Now there are little menus sneaking up from the bottom? Who do I report this bug to?

With the price of hardware everywhere going up, we've had a long hard think about the future.

So, we're going to rebrand and refocus to enable us to continue to exist past the end of 2026.

You asked, and we listened! We're really excited to announce the next evolution of our game The Knightling! Get ready for the port you've all been waiting for! 💙🛡️ #indiegame #gamingnews

If you're a content creator request a key for this and cover it.

Prideful Sloth has done some really good work with Go-Go Town and deserves a helpful boost from people who love games.

Even better: Ada posted this in response to an obnoxious "but what about THIS disaster? :smug:" reply to an item of good news she had posted.

If your response to a good news report is an intense desire to reply with bad news, follow these steps:

1. Laugh.
2. Put down your phone.
3. Go touch grass.

There's no such thing as normal.

This is so sad.

In games I enjoy I specifically seek out the art and look for references or even real art or personal photography in a game.

Phasmaphobia has actual peoples pets in the game around the houses.

It’s not that hard. There’s so much artwork in public domain now. And resources.
