I love that this game exists. It's crazy to me how well the Pokemon battle system can translate to real-time.

I want the turn-based games to keep existing to but this game is compelling. Pokemon Unite vibes but more true to the turn-based games.

Yo you can't just call me out personally like that.

Colorado-style green chile, preferably made with the state's own Pueblo chiles, is the cornerstone of Denver Mexican eats. And these days, you can find a variety of options in town.

When the temperatures drop, it's chile time!

As someone whose literal job is to be an advocate for Xbox as a platform, it would be really, really nice to not feel like I'm constantly fighting an uphill battle.
Yeah I imagine some people have scripts that strip out extra tracking tokens from URLs, and they probably strip out the gift token.

And even with the gift token, a soft-paywall "Enjoy this gift article, click here to subscribe if you like it" popup appears that could throw people and software off
Watermelon is legs?
Also, the theology of warrior cats also has plenty of baggage. If you want to talk about wars over theology... The series isn't called Warriors for nothing.
Crazy, I thought they discontinued that flavor!
Don't mind me wondering what flavor it was before I realized it wasn't that kind of shake.
@gamechangershow.bsky.social

What an increasingly special season of Game Changer this has been. Today's episode was absolutely incredible and had me in tears.

@dropout.tv is doing absolutely incredible work, and @samreich.bsky.social should be proud of what has been accomplished here.

To honor Ozzy's larger-than-life rock and roll legacy, we're making Brütal Legend *FREE* on itch.io: doublefine.itch.io/brutal-legend

But this incredible deal will only last for 666 minutes, as the prophecy foretold. So get yourself clicking, before it disappears like a demon in the night...

🤘 🖤
I think Anna Garcia can help you out with that
This was a great read!

Josh Johnson is a killer comic, very excited to watch his TV hosting debut!
This week, I’m hosting The Daily Show Tuesday through Thursday.

It’s my first time hosting anything on TV. Ever.

I’ve spent years writing behind the scenes, learning from truly great and talented people. Now, for three nights, I get to sit at the desk and do it myself.
I'm super excited to watch this! I recently watched Game Changers "Crowd Work" on Dropout and you killed it!
If they are anything like me, it's more of "If I don't do this now I will forget and never do it"
Since when did accountability require a law degree? Only lawyers are capable of accountability?
"calling" and "flame" sharing a root could make sense in the context of a signal fire 🤷

Not saying that's what it is, just a passable head canon

Couldn't say where the animal relationship is, especially considering that their wool is naturally fire *resistant*
Y'all I just found out that the Switch 2 Joycons are $95

I am trying to get excited but the expenses are getting so high 😔
"Profit" is "the money left over"

The question is, why would there be any money left over? All of that money goes somewhere, it belongs to someone, someone earns it, someone keeps it.

Hence, "zero profit"

a lot of people made a lot of money, but all of that earning is qualified as an expense.

I am still figuring out logistics (and Rami has kindly offered to help a lil!), but I’ve been putting together a means for game devs to present GDC-style ‘talks’ on @playwatchlisten.bsky.social. When it’s public, devs will be able to submit a topic for consideration, and will be paid for their time!
As GDC talk applications have opened, I want to politely remind you that GDC remains one of the most inaccessible, unfairly expensive, and dangerous for-profit game industry events out there - and that offering your labour for free to it just adds value that pressures people into going needlessly.
A large part of why I like my coffee black is because it is also the cheapest thing in the menu 🙃
Definitely want to signal boost this request, as it makes a lot of sense.
I would find value here in being able to receive notifications from people who follow me, regardless of whether or not I follow them.

As a gamedev, I want to hear a broad range of opinions, but I want to filter out drive-by stuff that tends to be really bad signal:noise ratio from non-followers.
