What a crap week If anyone from Gravity Well applies for a role at your studio please take a look - a ton of seriously world class talent is on offer. They will make your team and game better So sorry to those we had to let go this week, you all deserve so much more

Always on the hunt for good "family" co-op games (despite both our kids being adults now...) We still need to start Big Walk, Orbitals comes out today, and I just learned Minecraft Dungeons 2 is later this month! Finally, co-op gamers are eating well

finishing up last minute prep to fly to gamescom i need steam deck recommendations - just picked up denshattack and nier: automata, what else?

Heading to Japan tomorrow, so of course I'm prepping my Analogue Pocket for the trip. Any recommended hidden gems I should check out? As tempting as yet another Super Metroid playthrough is, I feel like I should branch out. Everything except RPGs or tactics games and I'll likely be into it

We're just about done hiring for this project. If any of these roles sound interesting to you please apply! We're working on something I think is p cool

Wasn't totally feeling the opening act before The Prodigy tonight, and then he busted out some Atari Teenage Riot My apologies Nitepunk, I was unfamiliar with your game

Saros downloaded, won't unlock for another 3 hours

Admittedly you'll have to put up with the occasional groan-worthy dad joke puns from me, but on the positive side we're working on something cool and are looking for more awesome devs to help us! tldr: rad team, independent studio, new IP (we own it!), great benefits, equity/profit sharing for all

First playthrough of Terminator 2D: No Fate completed If this was released to arcades in 1992 it would have made all the money. Highly recommend it if you like this sort of game, just make sure to play on a higher difficulty. Was pretty easy to blaze through on the medium difficulty setting

Also loving Sektori by @gimblll.com! If you enjoy twin stick shooters and have a burning hole in your soul since Geometry Wars you should check it out. I play when no one else is home because the home theater needs to be at 11 for the music. Didnt blink during a 30m run I had last night, no notes A+

Shoutout to @bysameng.com on Skate Story. Played a few hours and its everything I was hoping for. Awesome skating gameplay, rad af graphics, killer soundtrack via Blood Cultures, and just a perfectly bizarre narrative - this is the skating game I've been waiting decades for

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tb0m... The core conceit of this is truer than you realize. Doing a great Game 3 can be arguably harder to do than Game 1

Really looking forward to ARC Raiders launch tomorrow. First game I've preordered and been this hyped for in a long while. That server slam test was some of the most fun I've had in PvP in years - no surprise, Embark showed they already know what's up with THE FINALS Anyone else going topside?

Picked up one of those insane-o 45" ultrawide OLED LG monitors. Wow Suddenly my 4090 doesn't feel quite so beefy 😭

30 years ago this is what I hoped video games would become. So happy games like this are being made www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Je1...

@digitalfoundry.bsky.social Do you guys use off the shelf software for your framerate/frametime overlays or is that a custom job? Often in dev I wish I could replicate it, as running extra profiling to get the data isn't always possible

One benefit of having COVID this week is that I've had the time to clean up my email inboxes Gotta keep things nice and tidy for the daily dump of spam to arrive, ya know?

New job listing posted! Totally biased, but I think we're on to something really neat here. Come help us make it a reality!

Watching the team go through a show and tell of all their work this morning and I am just in awe that I get to work with such talented and amazing people

We don't plan to get much bigger, making openings here more and more rare as we fill out our team. If you care deeply about making fun games with crazy talented people, check us out!

Well, Premiere can't talk to licensing servers so I guess I'm done working on this project for tonight. Thanks Adobe!

I miss when there was a hot dog guy outside Home Depot We used to have standards

Games media deserve better If I had an extra pile of cash lying around I'd totally throw it at the problem, but alas :(

My wife and I are working through South of Midnight this weekend, really enjoying it so far. Loving the setting, story, music, and characters -- but the character and environment art are the biggest treat Congrats to everyone at Compulsion Games on the release!

Damn, think I just fried my 3080 :(

Vividly remember my best friend from high school (rip Rob) getting on IRC and losing his shit after seeing it opening night. I hadn't seen any advertising for it yet, and he convinced me to go in totally blind the following day Aamazing moviegoing experience. Wish I could bottle that feeling

Happy 6th birthday to Apex Legends Once in a career project - everything lined up and the team managed to pull off quite the feat Fun fact: basically all of the launch game was made in about 14 months

Life in LA lately

Anyone else finding a certain sense of calm during the holiday? For me I think it's because studios are closed so games aren't getting patched. I launch Steam or boot a console I'm not having to sit there and watch half a dozen games update themselves I can just boot and play. What a concept!

Also, the project car is nearing completion! I don't usually do new years resolutions, but I do intend on spending more time driving for fun this year Any other Subaru nerds out there? EJ207, 6MT, DCCD, Ohlins, Brembos, Recaros...

Watched Canadian Bacon tonight (rip John Candy) Someone should find and question Michael Moore, that shit was prescient and way funnier than I remembered I'm upset I missed all the weapons manufacturing auctions of the 90s, tho. Getting my own AT4 would've been rad

Is there a way to actually dig yourself out of email spam hell? No matter how many unsubscribes I click through the amount of spam in my inbox doesn't go down. There's no useful way to communicate anymore; spam calls, spam texts, and spam emails have rendered it all useless

And Swen's speech was S tier

Astro Bot and Balatro cleaning house tonight has me grinning from ear to ear

pants with microfiber pockets to clean my phone screen while walking around send tweet

Are you one of those people that buys Christmas presents well before 12/24 and immediately wraps them too? I have one question... How?
