Random person who plays indie games, you are the most important cog in an indie game's success.

Most gamers don't know or care that indies exist.... unless a friend tells them.

Our games succeed because you tell other people you liked our game. Word of mouth is the best marketing there is.

Me: I should go to bed early (for me) tonight

Also me: oh shit, there’s a new episode of Pluribus, I’d better watch that right now

First night back in my own apartment in Vancouver, and I've been troubleshooting my 5 month old printer for an hour and a half now? This shit is making me cranky AF

😭😩🤬

Is it just me, or does Facebook Marketplace especially suck in Vancouver? Even the region specific buy/sell groups rarely seem to have successful movement?

Just reminding you for no reason that our game doesn’t use any gen AI or LLMs at all and neither do we. Any devs trying to justify their usage by claiming it’s widespread is being dishonest.

It’s difficult to process how useless of a mayor Ken Sims has been. I knew he’d be bad & was frustrated when voter turnout was at an all time low for that election, but he somehow managed to surpass my expectations regarding just HOW horrible he’d be.

Him & ABC should be absolutely ashamed.
🌍✨ Vancouver’s Climate Work Is On the Chopping Block
Mayor Ken Sim + ABC councillors plan to cut major climate action programs. For 35 years, Vancouver has been a global leader in local climate action — starting with the 1990 Clouds of Change report. 🌱

My head is killing me, are the cloud magnets doing this?

this was a business discovery to us! we wondered for ages why our subscriber base wasn't matching broader games media reading patterns; when we asked around, turns out loads of europeans simply don't like using credit cards.

hopefully this is an improvement!
Good morning Europe! We have a new website! If you don't like using credit cards (and many EU readers have told us they don't), we're finally accepting other payment methods for subs, like Google Pay, Apple Pay and Link:

Going back to my place on Wednesday for a bit, so Vancouver peeps DM or text me and we will…

… go for walks or have coffee at my place because that is literally all I can afford to do right now 🥲

But still, I’ll be home again, so let’s hang out!

If you live in seattle you NEED to do this.
There are 1,700 ballots that need signature confirmation. That is enough to change the election.

Go. Check. Your. Ballot.

Started the day having breakfast w mom in her kitchen, sunlight streaming through the windows & making everything glowy.

We were chatting about meal prep when I look down and… a plump worm is inching towards me.

First thought: awe he cute

Second thought: wait. where’d he come from? FUCK…
November 11, 2025 at 4:42 AM
Look, I know this isn’t him and it’s likely someone who thinks they’ve found a smart way to follow only female accounts on BS, but for five seconds I did allow myself a little bit of a ‘heeeeeee ☺️’ moment when I read this

(And then I blocked)

Nic is very good people, anyone in my network know someone that can jump into his DMs and share some insight?

Plz & thanks 🩵
do i know anyone who might have insights into how the folks at Hello Games have handled age ratings for the bigger updates on No Man's Sky?

They’re trying to make velour leisure suits ‘happen’ again. I have yet to see a version that I like/is stylish/doesn’t look too much like ‘grandma core’

Would love to be proven wrong, where my fashion fan gals at? (cc @cortanav.bsky.social & @thoughtrise.bsky.social & others I’m forgetting)

A lot of people also don’t seem to understand that ‘the economy’ was previously more attached to the ‘average day to day experience’? This is far less true these days.

‘The Economy’ can still be doing great ‘on paper’ when massive amounts of people are struggling or destitute.

#TrickleDownSucks
i think the main thing a lot of you “the economy is better than it’s ever been” types are failing to grasp is that it really—and i mean REALLY—makes it look like you don’t give a shit about poor people.

Whoops, this is what I meant when I said Vanilla Sky 😂

Minority report as well, probably.

I think kids in high school should have to watch the following movies:

A.I. Artificial Intelligence
I, Robot
Vanilla Sky
Logan’s Run
(Missing somthing I’m sure)

Then discuss/engage in critical thinking exercises regarding new technologies, oppression, manipulation, & community responsibility

Woke up, started planning out a new shape of palette knife for painting

Have now drawn it and want to learn metal fabrication? (I’ve wanted to learn how to weld for a while)

15 year old me was obsessed with the sounds and fashion of crooners like Sinatra, I would have absolutely crushed on this kid. I even bought my own fedora at that age
