sorry but the replies here are whack. co-dev is good and healthy for the industry. co-dev means that when you finish your project, instead of laying off the surge of people you hired to finish the game, they go work on a different game with a different core team and different publisher.

Listen bubbo, I'm going to make sure you know this now before you find out the hard way: 1. Your car is sentient 2. It hates you Come to my backyard and make it do a flip on my cool ramp.

🚨 KARTING EVOLVED 🚨 Super Yooka-Laylee Kart has officially been revealed during #SummerGameFest as part of #DayOfTheDevs! A skilful, expressive and explosive racer built around mastery, rivalry, and revenge-fuelled comebacks 💥 Wishlist now on Steam! - bit.ly/4e1qFr7

Can someone explain the logic of why they want to sell pre-owned consoles for more than new ones? Especially considering the "this is intentional" line, this sounds like a strategy but I could not begin to imagine what it is.

I don't care that they "lose" "often." The Padres are still the best team in the world in any sport.

At Petco, watching the Padres continually prove themselves to be the greatest team in any sport as they always do.

*some doctor cures cancer* Me: oh I knew how to do that already, I just didn't think it was a big deal

The more years that I do it, the more certain I am that game development is just looking up keywords on google. I would say 90% that and 10% idea-having, but I don't even know if I believe in idea-having anymore. You look up the words to use and then you're directed by the words.

This is my go-to controller for most 2D games on PC. Modern major controllers' shared big weakness is good D-Pads and this has an incredibly good one. $25 is the best deal you could get on it.

Blippo+ is $8.99 on US eShop buff.ly/2aeYPG2

I think it looks pretty good, tbh. This is way closer to what I wanted than not.

In my thirties, I've picked up drinking Monster Energy again and, I gotta tell ya, don't do that dude that's insane lol what

I just had a programming question that I looked up and only found one person actually asking it in a way that is relevant to my work. It only had one answer, which was from another person saying that you should "just use copilot for writing that sort of thing." It's over gang.

Psyched to have my first byline on Design Room! This article was a lot of fun to write, based a group interview with @rodkin.online @jaredej.bsky.social @thatdave.bsky.social @sasquatchers.wtf and Dave Bogan (who I don't think is on Bluesky).

I wish television was still

Back in middle school, we totally would have spent lunch eating uncrustables and playing DS in the nook under the omnistair.

the thing about "I want shorter games with worse graphics made by people who are paid more to work less and I'm not kidding" is that these games exist and are out there and you have to make the conscious choice to seek them out instead of just expecting the big companies to deliver this

I said the character name and movie name and the images are all the correct guy, and then the AI comes in and says "yeah, Tom. From Tom & Jerry. Can't fool me. You think I don't know Tom & Jerry?"

I got a notification on my phone from Doordash about how my "neighbors are getting really into Carl's Jr." and I almost threw my phone in the trash.

dude turn on the news. any channel

Yo, go get Chambara cheap!

People who don't understand why Odysseus wanted to hear the sirens' song probably also don't want to taste Switch games or smell the visibly sour milk. You gotta hear it. What are you going to do, not know and be boring?

Every tennis movie is a Pong movie

I have to know, does Homer get a writing credit?

Drinking my pepto-bismol, telling everyone I'm just "having a sippity-pippity of the ol' poopty-boopty." My family is sobbing as I remember to control my power.

Beautiful

The wreck of the cruise ship MS World Discoverer, slowly being taken over by nature. She struck an uncharted reef in the Solomon Islands in 2000 and has remained there ever since. #Cruiseships #Shipwrecks #Pacific

Watching Twin Peaks Why did she turn into a handle

Mannnnnn

Kentucky Route Zero has got to be the Great American Videogame. Runners up include Night in the Woods and Outer Wilds.

My original post has... dramatically escaped containment to say the least. I cannot respond to all replies, but for a little more context on what the whole point of what I'm talking about is:

I understand the distaste for AAA, believe me. But no, taking the money out of gaming will not improve games. It will just unemploy developers. There can only be so many hits per year. If they are all small-team indies, that's <300 people in the world making a living making games max. AAA is jobs.
