Let's play Nancy Drew: Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake! I hear Forest Whitaker is in this one! (This is joke referencing Jim Jarmusch's Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai.) Stream starts with this week’s Playdate S3 games and a guest appearance by @unsecretcrush.bsky.socialwww.twitch.tv/robotspacer#Twitch
Oh, so why do I dedicate my time to #AdvetureGameStudio considered an underpowered, “niche” engine? Because it’s a labor of love completely run on a volunteer effort, and no 💩-ty people like this guy.
Everyone treating anything from PS1 to PS2 as classics, meanwhile I’m already treating my PS4 as a classic console by hunting for good games on disc that I never got a chance to play.
My dark gaming secret is that Cars on the Road on Disney+ is the spiritual sequel to Sam & Max Hit the Road. Also created/directed by Steve Purcell, and it’s got all of his trademarks.

Did that my9movies.net thing. Some are still my favorites, but mainly picked what big films had a lasting impression on me and often live in my head, rent-free.
If you have a Gmail account, you need to read this.
Google's AI now scans your emails and attachments, bank statements, tax files, medical letters, all of it. It turned on by default, and there's a class-action lawsuit over how.
Here are 5 moves to shut it off, the switch is hidden in two places:
I’ve enjoyed watching my 5yo draw fun animal compositions since he was 2 or 3. His style is always evolving. It’s fun to see someone develop a unique art style.
In the latest issue of my newsletter, Jess Verbs Nouns, I recap my GDC adventures and stops on my "Year of the Game Editor" World Tour so far—plus recent projects, internet radio recs, and appreciation for the cultural impact of 90s vampire cop show Forever Knight. buttondown.com/jesshaskins/...
Almost 29 years spent with English as my primary language and I still mix up the use in/on/at. TIL I also mix up “to”. At least I can conjugate verbs in all kids of persons and past/present/future/magical realism(?) tenses.
Why you should open source your tech specially before selling the company. Why game developers need to push for more open development of the tools, even if there is no intent of opening it to external contributors and has restricted licensing. Otherwise your past 20 years of work is lost forever.
THIS STUDIO MADE THE FAMOUS IDTECH ENGINE AND YOU'RE FORCING THEM TO USE FUCKING **UNREAL**???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
FUCK YOU
One of the reasons I don't flood your timeline every three hours with posts about my games being on sale during the Steam's sales is that it barely makes any difference.
Social media or not, my sales stay about the same.
And they're good numbers!

Was testing through one of the games
I am working on, and all of the characters that were following me around got stuck in a narrow walk region. I went to check on them and also got stuck.

Unfortunately, some of my cousins in Caracas were impacted by the earthquakes. Good news is that they are safe but ones lost their home, another family living in a car waiting to see if it’s safe to return, and some cats went missing.
Hey look! My Narrascope talk is already up on YouTube!
If you’re an indie developer who wants to work with union voice actors but are afraid it will be too expensive or complicated, please let me ease your fears:

If you're curious about what it's like to switch to open source tools Godot/Blender/Krita after years of Unity/Adobe/Maya, I'm giving a talk on it at Toronto Games Week! Been a year since I finished moving my whole workflow over and spoiler it's been pretty great

Someone at a local indie gamedev meetup pointed me to this. As a former EA employee, I do think this is a bad idea, and even friends who are still there just trying do a job are already getting impacted. The C-Suite and the board are being greedy and lazy. playersalliancehq.org/block-ea-dea...

I stopped using Google for search around twelve years ago. It takes about 21 days to get used to a new habit, or so I read, and I believe it. Take 5-10 minutes to reconfigure your browser to an alternative, and see how you feel in 3 weeks.
You used to be able to google the time of the sunset, and Google would give you the exact time right on top every single time.
Thankfully, with artificial intelligence, you can now ask Google what time the sun will set and it will conveniently tell you "I don't know."
Marilou & I are deeply saddened by the loss of our lifelong friend, Marcia.
Not just a gifted, innovative artist, she also happened to be a genuinely nice person. Smart, funny, & just plain fun to be around. Thankfully, her memory lives on and we will never stop missing her.

I cut my teeth and got my nerd degree running a live weekly talk show during high school on public access. This is great. We were definitely inspired by The Late Show.

so Horses was a problem, but Valve I guess is fine with this racist crap that flagrantly violates at least two of its content guidelines and has 300+ reviews that all almost certainly violate those guidelines too
