My social media literacy has fallen off so much I forgot to even post the actual name of the game haha. I’ll probably do another better post later in the week

I’m gonna have a game demo in next fest! It’s just a Balatro-like but I’m still excited to go through the process and release some art

Wait until you see the ep they just put out. Worst trek I’ve ever seen. Worse than Janeway becoming a lizard, worse than Quark pretending to be a lady, all-time stinker

Why is he “a pizza man” and not Pizza Man. Kojima is losing his touch

Back in 2018, I was working on an RPG inspired by the Paper Mario series. I don't think I'll end up finishing this game, but I figured I could share the demo that I had put together anyway. #gamedev

Been working on a small Balatro-inspired game in my off hours over the last year. I see at least one other team had the same specific idea… but idk man I’ve spent too long on mine, it’s gotta be released

i have no idea who originally made this but i feel it in my bones

An image with a wall of text, formatted like a belligerent screed:

STOP DOING RAYTRACING
-LIGHT RAYS WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE SIMULATED
-YEARS OF GAMING yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for bouncing light more than ONCE
-Wanted to go higher anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that: It was called "BAKED LIGHTING"
-"Yes please give me SLIGHTLY better visuals. Give me those slightly better visuals at a cost of HALF my frame rate" - Statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged
LOOK at what Big Graphic Card have been demanding your money for all this time, with all the decades worth of beautiful non-RT games in your backlog.

(This Is REAL Raytracing done by REAL $1600 graphics cards)
Insert - screen shots of video games showing the diminishing visual returns of ray tracing.

"Hello I would like to run my games poorly please"
They have played us for absolute fools
