My feelings about Dreams will be complicated forever, but I will always be so proud that we empowered people to do this entirely on a PS4. Magnificent work from @eupholace.bsky.social

It feels like a large part of both culture and politics these days is people wondering “why don’t I feel the way I did when I was 12”

Hey Wes, I can save you the trouble. The reason a lot of people are struggling with their mental health in the UK is it fucking sucks here. Aside from usual late-stage capitalism stuff, everything that could be cool about living here has been systematically made worse by people like you, you cunt.

I understand why people stay on services that suck but not Spotify. There’s so many other platforms that are 1-to-1 the same but with less garbage if not objectively better.

last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far

i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

Really lovely Time Extend on Dreams in this month's @edgemagazine.bsky.social.

In light of the persistent discoverability questions hovering around the industry, I like to think our dedicated and intentful curation work was genuinely breaking new ground. Delighted to see that acknowledged!

Dreaming of an immersive sim set in a single super detailed tower block. Loads of flats to snoop around in, vents and elevator shafts to use for navigation, different vibes/challenges on each floor. It's under siege and you're sneaking in to deal with it. Die Hard meets Deus Ex. Someone make that.

Sektori is one of the best games I’ve played all year. Design perfection, a fantastic soundtrack, it’s almost impossible for me to put down. I need every sicko reading this to play it. For @aftermath.site aftermath.site/sektori-shoo...

For some reason, the main menu of my car’s app has accelerometer based movement, so it does this when you’re walking and trying to press the tiny buttons.

It just launched, I don’t see anyone talking about it, and it has only a handful of Steam reviews so I gotta say: Sektori absolutely rocks.

From an ex-Housemarque dev and if you love Resogun, Geometry Wars, etc. you need it in your life.

"what's the most useless video game trivia you know" -- one of the sci-fi alien screen textures in half-life 2 just uses a screenshot from a (surprisingly OK) Star Trek 4x game called Birth of the Federation... the Combine Advisor is playing as the Romulans, on turn 363

In Tearaway (Vita) / Tearaway Unfolded (PS4), everything is made of "paper" right? So like all the world geometry is made out of "paper" in an editor with "folds" as a concept. But in Unfolded, so is the UI, and so in the editor it's also a level you could run around on the same as any other.

Alright! Let's actually talk about this waterfall thing. It is an amazing showcase of many things that I adore from late 90s/early 2000s graphics.
I am replicating this in Blender through mere observation, so some things might not be fully accurate to the mind-boggling effects of the PS1.
