AAA studios have historically tried to design games for the hardware that customers are going to have in the future, not the hardware they have now. If they keep trying to do that over the next... Let's say 2-to-5 years, and guess wrongly about what hardware people will have, that will be funny.

This will probably be useful

I’ve been reading Metro 2033 and I can’t believe how relevant it is to recent times and how it kinda parallels Artyom’s journey with kinda my own life’s journey. Books are so beautiful.

I read for pleasure so seldom these days (sadly!) but this was a rare and wonderful horror treat.

Hey y’all I and @kaarachutney.bsky.social had been tinkering on a game on our free time! I know the art is pretty rough around the edges and we are working our best on it, slowly.. working one step at a time. We are super insecure to post this art here among the legends here here we go!

The industry loves nothing, devours everything, and will never care for anything but its own growth. If we want a better games industry, it has to be about people. It has to be caring for people, building up people, supporting people, protecting people, empowering people, connecting people.

This game is bringing me so much calmness and love during my weekends! Please try it!
