I think finishing the fan-translated copy of "Sacred and Terrible Air" while landing in bitter Copenhagen night back in November 2023 was somehow the best way I could've experienced that book.
It felt as if Vaasa spilled out of the screen and froze in a shape of Danish capital around me.

Noticed a couple of years ago that every single graphical asset for Half-Life 2 Deathmatch (and Half-Life Deathmatch Source) on Steam uses a different typeface for the subtitle and none of those match the one that's actually used in the game

Hello gamedev folks 💔
It's my final straw. If I don't find work in 1 month, I'll have to quit gamedev definitely, and make a big career change for something more stable.

No idea what could possibly justify a 70-80 EUR (or higher) game purchase… and I work in the damn industry!
Half of this price could’ve gone to charity, but instead it feeds the bonuses for layoff-inducing union-busting C-suites.

Testing the waters with something a little different: a sci-fi decal/vector pack. Not sure if there's interest in this sort of thing, but they're fun to make. Got ideas for other packs and more pay what you want stuff in the pipeline.

EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum".
PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made.

Pleasantly surprised to learn that this video is actually about cool game UI (among a dozen other topics, it's a chaotic watch)
The most important point here is that the primary reason we're getting less varied and experimental interfaces in games is... the economy

what if the rate of profit has basically fallen to zero and the only venue left to invest masses of capital historically unprecedented in their scale is into bubbles? what if capitalism has now become a zero-sum game where the only way the few large capitals can grow is by absorbing smaller capitals
What if the A.I. bubble “is an inevitable part of developing and adopting a revolutionary tool that will fundamentally improve productivity and growth?” Mohamed El-Erian writes.
Opinion | A.I. Is a Bubble. Maybe That’s OK.
Investors’ excitement rightly reflects the potential transformation of the entire economy.

BLADECHIMERA is easily one of my favorite games this year and is another excellent release from Team Ladybug
If you love metroidvanias, but specifically IGAvanias, I believe this is a must-play

And one of this year's best came out in the first few days of the year - BladeChimera feels like an off-brand Shin Megami Tensei metroidvania. Which is funny as it's by the makers of the OFFICIAL Shin Megami Tensei metroidvania that never (officially) made it out of Japan.
BLADECHIMERA on Steam
Explore a dark and sinister Osaka as the Demon Hunter Shin. Battle demons, regain lost skills, and uncover the truth of your forgotten past in this exciting occult-inspired cyberpunk metroidvania.
