I already have devices to make games on, but seeing Godot as an official part of Steam's new hardware video made me happy and pretty excited for both Godot and the Steam Machine itself.

The safety video for Japan Airlines has the Dreamcast-era CGI like you see in news reports and it was frying me before takeoff.

Years ago when I was QA at Namco I tested Bangai-O for Xbox Live, and sometimes when I make maps for Guinea Pig Gunner it reminds me of that game. I think it’s the multidirectional shooting and verticality. I haven’t thought of that game in years but today it’s affecting my own designs. #indiedev

Tired of waiting for Godot to import things when you bring the editor window into focus? Did you know you can make it import in the background so when you get back over to the editor, it might already be done? #GodotEngine

#GodotEngine peeps - don't sleep on .set_trans() and .set_ease() if you're using tweens!
For a physical motion like a camera flying through a scene it can finish the 'lift off' and or 'landing' really nicely and give a much smoother effect. The documentation has specifics

Wall bump adds nuance to your movement.
Use it to reposition, evade, or pressure from new angles.
Clean moves, clever plays.

It's 2025 and my brain still tells me that emailing contractors isn't real work and writing code/making levels is real work. Do I know better? Yes. Am I probably stuck this way forever? Also yes.

Watching Rocko and Invader Zim. All the Paramount+ Nicktoons look like ratty low effort VHS transfers and I dunno if that adds to or detracts from the charm.
