Taking a prototype forward into something more representative.. at the stage where little moments of polish or defined intent flicker through a keyhole… only for the door to fall off its hinges, hit you in the head, and remind you that maybe doors aren’t even necessary, perhaps even a lazy choice.

Love @backpagepod.bsky.social's press trip disaster stories? Maybe my novel about an ill-fated YouTuber's descent into PR oblivion will scratch that itch. Also, there's a giant inflatable Pikachu and a Lego game that never was.

Amateurs quibble about spaces versus tabs, artists throw down with unshakeable and stringent views on enums.

I just find this really sad. Imagine being so certain that you need slop machines to do your work, that you convince yourself that EVERYBODY must need them.
Epic CEO says AI disclosures like Steam's make "no sense" because AI will be involved in "nearly all" future game development

Billionaires: capable of imagining a world where intellectual property and copyright law are meaningless irritations to be ignored. Absolutely baffled by the idea of a 1% tax rise.

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.

With the end of Subsurface Circular week, we're halfway through our legacy game celebration. This week was robots, but next week's game features another classic pillar of sci-fi: Aliens.
See you there. Walk with the Architects.

Honestly: great survival advice for anyone with any kind of visibility. Accepting that best case scenario a decent number of people will find you actively annoying and just going about with the rest of your annoying little life.
How do I remain chill on social media?
A big thing is, don't namesearch. If someone snitch tags you over someone else saying something about you, YOU DIDN'T SEE IT! Don't have any extension that tells you if people block you, you don't need to know. I assume people block me because I'm annoying.

I should be working on other things but I keep getting distracted by my "the forklift job minigame from Shenmue but an entire game of it" game idea

So many people are self sabotaging by deskilling via this nonsense right now. Want an edge in 2027? Don’t build reliance on bad tools into your process in 2025.
Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

Subsurface Circular takes place in a single location and with a cast entirely of Teks, the game's robotic working class.
With that kind of focus, we wanted to take care with the setting and character design to bring the world to life, even when the player sees only a small glimpse of it.
