This is my game. 2 Delve 2 Deep (not a sequel). It's a small game about a little owl with a big dream - to one day become the King Of Explorers. Or, in mechanical terms - it's a procedural dungeon crawler about exploration, greed and pushing your luck. #indiedev #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

There is some small comfort in knowing that I'm $80bn better off than some corporations. It's only small, but it's there.

I'm not sure but I think I may have mis-read Tim's original reply to Kenney. The 'Up yours' at the end might not be derogatory at all and merely a friendly suggestion that Kenney needs to increase his optimism and expectation of AI. In which case it's an unfortunately-worded sign off.

I don't know what you think but, in #gamedev circles, if you're on one side of an argument and Kenney is on the other, I'm probably going to go ahead and assume that you're the bad guy in this.

Pour one out for Richard 'Levelord' Gray. Nice guy and creator of my favourite FPS level ever made - 'Tier Drops', Duke Nukem 3D. RIP.

No, YOU’RE having leftover bread and butter pudding for breakfast. I’m an adult.

Are we living through the events of Surface Detail? Large chunks of 'the populace' living in virtual hells that can get taken out due to conflict in the Real? Indentured Servitude? (I mean, that certainly feels like the goal for the Powers That Be) Falling Outside The Normal Moral Constraints?

I'm stupid and lazy enough as it is. I can't afford to use a thing that actively erodes what little brain power and drive that I actually have. news.berkeley.edu/2026/10/09/u...

er... what? honchoc64.com/populous.html Now that's impressive.

My #dayofdredd fave. I can't be the only one.

Tech bros have objectively made my life worse. Sure, NFTs didn’t really affect me at all but crypto and the great GPU shortage? Now AI not only doubles down on that but brings even more ecological baggage and that’s before we even start on the ethical side of things.

I'm on Team Richard E Grant. Embrace the chaos!

Something something #gamedev something

Thus far, this morning I have: Bought cinnamon buns (doesn't sound like much but this was opening day for this shop and these things are amazing - had to queue for 20 minutes) Taken the eldest to her swimming lessons Mowed the lawn (most of it anyway) Replaced the extractor fan in the bathroom

if you’re a games company that wants to survive it has been proven over and over again you need to do whatever it takes to stay away from being publicly traded. you’ll be turned into wood chips the moment it’s convenient.

The original concept for Bullfrog's Syndicate box art - wish it had been used somewhere in its final form. #amiga #retrogaming #artsky #art #conceptart

Apropos of nothing. But I'm sure this will come in handy within the next few years.

Ah, Heroes of the Storm. Once more I suckle at your MOBA teat.

I look forward to seeing Canada's entry to Eurovision next year.

Just for clarity, I can also confirm that I'm not going to be opening for Ed Sheeran.

"Snap them to avoid this situation"

I'm going to watch this HotS Classic Cup match and yearn.

I'd love to be still around in 200 years time, if only to see how this bit of history is taught and received. My money's on 'WTF?'

If starting a war didn't have the desired effect, why not double down and see if you can't get someone else to start one too?

I'll be honest - the addition of a 'psychedelic mode' to Keeper didn't appear on my bingo card anywhere.

#swordtember Day 2 - Smash I mean, perhaps only some of you will get it. But those that do - BOY will you get it.

#swordtember day 1: Scavenged

I will be buying this. It's hecking fun to just tinker and I can see the kids having a good time with it - especially when we break out the 3D printer afterwards. Maybe a nautical board game or something?

Putting the band back together?

Screw you, British weather - we’re doing this anyway.

Make a band bigger: Tungsten Zepplin

Populous Or maybe Syndicate

What I like most about this post is the use of the term 'gone gold'. Webbo is as old school as it comes and I'm here for it. fusegames.com/news/star-wa...

This is the first time I've put long trousers on in 2 months. I'm even considering a hoodie or, at least, something with sleeves.

We're a no-Roblox household. The kids do get frustrated that their friends are playing it and they're not allowed to. One day, they might understand but in the meantime I'm happy to take the parent hit.

Ooh, look! 983 followers. Sweet. Onward to the 1k mark!

From BBC Weather "A temperature above 37C has only been recorded nine times since records began – three of those occasions have been in 2026."
