Question though - I keep hearing a *SHING* sound while fighting that I've never heard before, what is that?? It's not the parry sound, it's something different...

DID IT

Thank you First Sinner for forcing me to try new things, teaching me the power of the Wanderer crest!! It's so FAST, and that dash-strike-strike combo?? :0

Also defeated Brood Mother! It was a good day for Hornet.

My friend’s neighbor’s house fell off its foundation (old steel structure collapsed), and they just did the funniest thing.

Giant skeleton looking like it’s tipping over a house.

Extreme spoilers of course, but speedrunners have apparently turned Baby Steps into a rhythm game:

Wanna watch me create a tiny prototype game in real time, and struggle to explain my brain workings as I code?? @marklacroix.bsky.social and I did exactly that for his @nicegamesclub.bsky.social podcast, working on a currently-in-the-planning-stages-secret-project!

Just to be clear since the video starts with just voice, we DO show the actual coding and creation of the prototype, the visual component starts up a few minutes in!

ALSO you can play the prototype RIGHT NOW, but you'll have to watch the video and follow the link in the description to find it ;)

I took the last three weeks to play Baby Steps, and my reflexes came back after just a couple hours, I wouldn't worry about it too much :)

the president using the office to punish americans that didnt vote for him should really be one of the biggest scandals in americas history

Don Moynihan @donmoyn.bsky.social · 1d

Trump is upfront in saying he will use the shutdown to punish Democrats, and here are the receipts. About $27.2 billion cut from Dem districts compared to about $0.7 billion in GOP districts.
We all complain about the media, but need this type of in-depth journalism.

Trump Halts Billions in Grants for Democratic Districts During Shutdown (Gift Article)

The Trump administration has frozen or canceled nearly $28 billion primarily located in Democratic-led districts, according to an analysis by The New York Times.

we need to support game designers who understand what they're doing and can articulate those thoughts this well. we'll all make cooler, more artistically rich games

make it happen people, game design as a field needs more writing like doc's. i genuinely might not have gotten back to making video games without these articles provoking the long-dormant game designer part of my mind again

doctober @docseuss.bsky.social · 1d

so yeah, if you like these:

1) please share

2) please tip

That's all I'm asking for. I know shit's tight for everybody, I'm grateful for everything and I try to send a thank you to everyone I can (some of you have the ability to thank you through paypal turned off though)

With the continuous rise of prices for games, systems, and tech, and as companies like Xbox announce further increases for services like Game Pass, some disabled individuals are choosing to forgo AAA gaming altogether. Read my latest Access Granted report here:

Rising costs of games, systems, and tech forces some disabled players to leave behind their favorite accessible hobby.

Noted! I'm still hoping to try one of the truly independent search engines with a monthly subscription, and see how that goes. Thx for the info though!

🔪 Mike Slascher 🩸 @tetronimike.bsky.social · 1d

Hahaha it does not! It does give you a good cutscene at least.

🔪 Mike Slascher 🩸 @tetronimike.bsky.social · 1d

I just found out recently they source a lot of their results directly from Bing/M$ft, if that colors your opinion at all. I'm still on the hunt for a search engine that I feel good supporting :/

86 tries and likely 12hrs on the Manbreaker for me, but I did end up doing it and WOW what a feeling - heart in my throat, sweating, hyperventilating, etc... over this idiot in a onesie and his very bad slippery feet.

Anyone hiring a senior dev with strong design / visual art sensibilities? I like working with games and frontend web! Lot of ReactJS / Unity3D experience.

Here's a GIF of a custom 3D engine I wrote from scratch in C for the Playdate (1-Bit)
