E.g., Buddy's disrespect of consent could have meant something, could have been offering commentary on the industry, could have been thematically relevant, but instead it's kind of just there in two scenes when it's necessary to rush the plot along

Could have also been an attempt at comedy, but a lot of the "adult" humor landed for me about as well as my classmates in middle school explaining an edgy joke they saw on South Park. The gags were at their best when they flowed smoothly into the practical effects already justifying the entire movie

As a movie, it felt like it didn't fully know what it wanted to be. Most themes and character arcs were abandoned for the sake of the literal events happening onscreen, so it was just frustrating that they were there at all. Not a lot of care for storytelling despite it pretending to have depth.

WAITING UNTIL ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY TO SPEND ANY AMOUNT OF MONEY WINS AGAIN

I feel bad for people in my specific position (Bought the perpetual licenses for GMS2 ages ago and were told they'd have to buy the license for GMRT) who already spent the money though. Same for people who did so in preparation to release a commercial game in the future.

Donkey Kong, made for the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Roster Collab. This is a very particular collab, since it's an actual mod that you can apply to the game (if you have the means, that is). More info below. #fanart #DonkeyKong #SmashBros #Nintendo

I'm sorry, an AI guy telling you "The wool is being pulled over your eyes" while simultaneously owning a huge ass yarn factory will never not be funny. You're literally part of the problem my guy.

Morgan Johnson@poormojo.bsky.social

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

I'm writing a mod in C# and it's reporting a warning on line 3 of a file but the warning is blank for some reason so the "problems" overview just looks like this

i know i’m old but as a kid growing up in the ‘90s, we usually got somewhere between 12 and 28 surprises inside a typical box of caylus vs. foltyn

Saw this on the shelf at Target and it’s like a portal to an utterly unknowable parallel world. As if i was peering into the dimension from Stalker

I wish people weren't already acclimated to this control scheme in the modern age, because I'd love to make a game that plays exactly like it where the hook is that you're too crossed to function and trying to sneak back into your bedroom at 2 AM

OK I've said this multiple times, but I'm going to try to be a bit more selective with what I post here now. I got people I actually respect following me for some reason, so I don't think I need my gamedev account to also be my "every stray thought" account.

Is this just the result of calling things out that need to be called out? Am I just unpleasant to be around? I dunno! I don't think people like being criticized, and I think I like criticizing people. I don't wanna come off as someone who's fueled by resentment, though.

It's not like this is going to be my main gig any time soon, but it still feels like I spend more time on it than anything else and should treat it more seriously. I have a writing degree, and the last short story I actually wrote was so I could better contextualize Dress Down in my head.

ACTUALLY DOING FALSE FRUIT NOW. I had a chip on my shoulder about having to leave Hawktober Horrors 2025, so I really wanted to submit something for it this year. The next jam I want to participate in isn't for months, though!! False Fruit!!!!!!

People who happen to know each other from a lot of game dev experience: Cool who cares Professionals who seek out other professionals, have applications open for the jam, etc. so they know in advance they're going to rank highly: COME ONNNNNNNN
