My game Excavation One is available in the Shadows of Fall bundle, ending in 14 days!! It includes comics, novels, art books, zines, and TTRPGs. Some of the work is eerie, some is sexy, and some is both! Excavation One is an autobio game about joining + leaving a cult. itch.io/b/3963/shado...

Solo But Not Alone 7 opens for submissions next month! Just in case you needed a push to finish a solo game! (like me) The rules are: - The game must be singleplayer-capable (a game with a solo mode is okay!) - The game must be human made - The game must not have been in SBNA before!

There's simply no excuse for this. Sucker Punch has delivered two back-to-back acclaimed and high selling games. This team should be safe and celebrated. and yet this industry continues to be fucking demonic.

Ya know when you apply to a big thing and just have to wait for an email? And the timeframe for hearing back is an estimated window of time? So like... how do I keep from losing my marbles A friend told me they decide they didn't get it and try to forget about it. Smart but hard to pull off

Wow. What the fuck. If you're not already familiar with this debacle, I encourage you to read this article. It was super generous of Cassie AKA Lamia to write this so we can learn about what PAX / ReedPop is doing. At the very least, let's send some emails as requested in the article.

This post is unavailable.

A game I think really got slept on is Deathloop. Extremely stylish, interesting conceit, fun protagonist, leans into Arkane’s main strength i.e. sending you on stealth missions to kill a bunch of weird perverts

I love Adam's other games Uneasy Lies the Head and Hungry Out of Habit, but I've been looking forward to this one getting a full physical set for years. Adam's games are really smart on the gameplay level but also on the physicality level--these experiences are Designed!!

I'm a simple man. If I see you using AI, I'm unfollowing and disregarding whatever you're promoting. I don't care if you're an artist and you're using it to "vibe code." Fuck off

Unrelated, but I'm kind of like if a guy was only a man when they have the urge to say "I'm a simple man"

Kohen Wiley. He was MURDERED by Hunter Foster, a cop, and the Mississippi attorney general Lynn Fitch called it "justified." Vile, cruel, racist. It feels like the world should screech to a halt right now. I've witnessed a mother who outlived her son. There are no words to describe it.

Hunter Foster murdered a baby, and the Mississippi police department, Lynn Fitch, and all other white supremacists are his accomplices.

JUST IN: The police shooting that killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley as he sat in his mother’s lap in a Walmart parking lot in Senatobia, Miss., in June “was justified,” Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch’s office said on Monday. Her office will not charge the white officer who shot the child.

Love the idea, let's start a train of art inspired by Bioware games ❤️ These stories mean the world to me, its characters inspired me for years, the artists and writers behind them literally helped shape my artistic journey. I am thankful for everything you've created 🫶

One of my favorite sci-fi shows of the decade—of the century!—is celebrating its third anniversary today. Scavengers Reign was a shooting star🌠, poorly supported by HBO Max and then Netflix (as it was only available in a handful of countries), but I'm so glad this one season exists.

Hey I'm imposing small talk on you now. How's it hanging? And by "it," I mean the Sword of Damocles over your head. The biggest ongoing stressor in your life seems like a great topic for me to just bring up as casual conversation!
