The romance of a mecha pilot fusing with her steel body so deeply, controlling it as an extension of her self. The two of you are one. A new species. Beautiful and terrible in your capability to commit violence and overcome any stair-like obstacle. Celebrate the union with one word... "EXTERMINATE"

If I were the CEO of a game company, one of the community manager's responsibilities would be a weekly, one hour meeting just to show me cool shit the community made.

Once again I'm telling people to play Corru.Observer - one of the coolest things ever made to be played in a browser. It is a sprawling, genre-hopping sci-fi mystery with multiple albums of soundtrack now. Excellently written, both in terms of loveable characters and speculative hard sci-fi stuff.

Glad to see staff is so considerate to newer gamers in advance of the OoT remake. Not everyone has played through the game before, it's a lot harder to spoil the later temples when bluesky is blocking adult Links.

MYTH: Every mixup is a 50/50 FACT: All is written. You were never meant to block that low. The very concept of a mixup is the post-hoc invention of a mind in hitstun. The trajectory of particles cannot be changed

i think nathan fielder should do a 3 hour documentary on the recent PHP vulnerability and call it "you can free() everything"

Spent a half hour learning how to drum from an extremely sloshed transwoman with a guitar outside the pizza place, and then I found out she's also an embedded engineer. I think I made a new friend tonight?

Good thread.

in honor of NBA opening day, I am going to do an NBA season preview where I break down every team's best player, a fun player, and whether or not the team is butt if you do not wish for a lot of basketball content in your feed (boo), go ahead and mute the thread

Every time I see a new Fallout total conversion mod I get a glimmer of excitement before realizing those projects are cursed, all of them either die on the vine or make you wish they had. (Fallout London might be good but it crashed every time I tried to play.)

Shout-out to Torment Hexus, great game and great dev. Went into the discord to report a bug (enemies with a damage debuff were also dealing reduced bleed damage to themselves) and got flashbanged by @byobattleship.bsky.social immediately replying "what name do you want to go by in the credits"?

Aaand here it is! IGF Games I Want To Talk About 2027 is up on my blog! auratriolo.com/blog/2026/10...

Why the FUCK would Endless Legend II still not have a "random" option during setup? Half of the fun of the early game is slowly figuring out how scared I should be of my neighbors!

I just got this in the mail and somehow missed the actual cover got approved. Truly the funniest possible outcome.

Justin Sevakis@worldofcrap.bsky.social

sigh. guys. you will never guess what got approved.

There's a small, minuscule part of me that still doesn't like the dark. But, after becoming a fan of horror movies, there's a larger part of me that's invigorated by that fear. That enjoys it. Still, under NO circumstances do I try to feed those anxieties, lest I spend my time jumping at shadows.

It's time To See Everything.

So understand I came out of the theater into the pitch black dark. Understand I hopped on my bike and resumed whatever podcast was playing for the lonely ride home. Understand what it means that I BREATHED A SIGH OF RELIEF and went "ah, this'll be a good distraction" as A HORROR PODCAST started up.

I feel like if I put a picture of dahlia hawthorne on anything I own it would be like. permanently cursed. Sticker that conveys malignant spirits. T-shirt that strangles you. I do not invoke her in the same way I do not invoke the The Ring girl

This is a deep cut microaggression but I'll be mad forever that all the dumb men in Ace Attorney (including villains) get merch and there's literally nothing for the best character in the game

Me, walking down to fill my water bottle yet again: "Man, I wish I had a faucet in my room. Just a faucet. Well, I guess I'd need a sink too. Heck, if I'm doing that, might as well add a toilet." Me, seconds later: "...cole, you idiot, you just reinvented the master bathroom."

Every time I think Valve is starting to take this whole Deadlock thing too seriously, they hit you with shit like "the Rat King's special attack where he throws a rat in your face has one hundred separately recorded voice lines for one hundred individually named rats".

Game: updates Mod makers: "posting a fix now would include a bunch of half-finished stuff so we're holding off until the next major update to our mod. No, we don't have a date for that yet." Starting to get radicalized about version control here.

The best part about this is that every single one of those are different drawings. I'm always amazed at cartoonist's consistency.

this is a 10/10 character sheet holy shit

Just finished the latest chapter. Holy SHIT. First one in a while that didn't really make me cry. Instead excuse me while I contemplate the entire concept of the self and others. Fuck, man. MAN. Fuck.

Limbus Company making me stare at the wall by trapping me in the Macy's Backrooms and asking questions like "Why do some people dislike questions?" and "How do I become something different from what others want me to be?" Fucking hell, man, I wish this wasn't a gatcha so I could recommend it more.

Still thinking about this, by the way. Reading up on absurdism and existentialism, creating clumsy refutations that are addressed in the next section, contemplating The Other and The Real, rewatching Northernlion's "Get it Twisted" speech...
