I have been a Game Pass subscriber since the beginning (when I was still a PlayStation employee), and subscribed to Ultimate and used it to play @doublefine.com Keeper on my UltraUltraWide monitor. Now I’m being force-fed ads IN THE MIDDLE OF WATCHING A FUCKING 4K DISC. canceled, goodbye @xbox.com

This issue is one of the most important to me, personally. I had to sacrifice a lot to work at Wizards. I wrote a really funny twine game last year and had several more in the works. I stopped work on all of them when I became a D&D game designer. I lost a creative outlet that was important to me.
Currently, Hasbro’s guidelines keep us from having total ownership over the work we make in our free time. Our union aims to change that and ensure we own what we make in our free time. actionnetwork.org/forms/uwotcp...

Happy Brutal Legend Day my metalheads! It is the most metal day of the year! 🤘🏻😝🤘🏻 I will try to get on the multiplayer today, but FYI, I am terrible at it lol!
Awaken, mortals, for it is ROCKTOBER! It’s been 17 years since Brütal Legend first began melting faces, and as the prophecy foretold, Tim will be playing throughout the day on Xbox and PC to help you snag that “Six Degrees of Schafer” achievement. Good luck, roadies! 🤘🏽🖤🤘🏽
I’ve been doing work in RustNN, WebNN-graph, webmachinelearning, and even Web Platform Tests to get BabyLM winners running on iPhone and Apple Watch. this is for the offline, local-first app runtime I presented at @2600.com HOPE conference in August. Thanks to Markus and others for being welcoming!

"what if Druaga was fun to play?" is an incredible premise
The Tower of Zeldaga is a mashup of the Legend of Zelda and Tower of Druaga. Every room has a secret puzzle and the puzzles get more obtuse as you go on. It's free, runs in your browser (incl mobile), supports controllers, and I'd really love for you to try it out! legitimatebusiness.biz/tower/

Pretty proud of this one! I completely redid my production workflow, trying to cut as much of Riverside's AI tools as possible and just using raw footage in Premiere, and I'm pretty happy with the result. Show looks better, and, in the long run, should be quicker to produce. Please check it out!
Good things come to those who wait! After overhauling his video production workflow, @aidanmoher.com's got a new-look video version of the show, and it's DOOZY of an episode. Come for the Morrowind, stay for the vegemite, and make sure you leave a like or subscribe on your way out!

Grandia returns! This scene on the bow of the crashing airship is pretty fantastic, and very welcome after a long stretch of mostly dungeons. When Feena jumps off the ship, I love the long wide shot of her slowly approaching Justin. Devs really understood how to sell scale. #crt #retrogaming
Grandia continues! This stretch of the game is grindy and contains two optional dungeons that represent the extreme ends of the JRPG dungeon spectrum. One is dense, charmingly themed and has the best boss fight in the game thus far. The other is just a long, boring cave! #crt #retrogaming

For several years, my CRT photos have been shared widely and received a lot of love on Bluesky. I love all my CRTs, but my PVM has always been the most popular. However, the PVM is dying. While it's in good hands now, repairs are pricey, so, I'm asking for help. If you can, consider pitching in!

Going to spin this off into video games: would-be Amiga mascot Zool had not one but *two* tie-in novels, “Zool Rules” and “Cool Zool”. They expanded upon the story and characters set up in Zool 2, like his female counterpart Zooz and his two-headed dog Zoon!
What's the most unlikely TV or movie tie-in novel you've ever seen? Bit of a high bar set by these examples - and the Gold Blend novel in particular - but there *must* be weirder ones out there, surely?? timworthington.org/2018/05/27/l...
