Hello infinite void that is social media. I'm Ponyus, I'm a game dev, primarily a game/level designer, and I'm here because I want to be more social. I will primarily post silly jokes and memes, my thoughts on games, and maybe do a bit of self promotion.

If the house had burned down, we wouldn't be standing *cough cough* in the living room right now. Instead, we're toasty warm inside our house that has not yet burned down.

Xbox made the certification documents public (this is it takes to ship/pass the checklist/QA to launch a game on Xbox) for everyone; and Nintendo/PS should consider the same. There are a lot of things that if were common knowledge would save hours/money to everyone. developer.microsoft.... #gamedev

You cant parachute asylum seekers into deprived areas, in completely inappropriate housing, then say those migrants are 'dividing our country'. You divided the country because you can't organise a basic service and process claims in a timely way

My dogs have unionized and demand more walkies. If management doesn't concede to these demands, puppy eye demonstrations will continue outside of managements office. I have been under siege for a while now, and I think its time to give in.

I have such massive paranoia that I have annoyed/offended people I like and follow, since lack of response can mean 1) they are busy 2) they don't have anything to say in response 3)They dont want to interact because I'm annoying 4) I'm blocked/muted and I don't know how to know if I am.

Microsoft refuses to guarantee that EU laws will take precedence over American laws, for EU users. For the EU, this should be a very urgent matter of national security. All EU member states should build on eg. Denmark's wise strategy to phase out Microsoft products.

I love games, you know what?
I love indies of so many different shapes and forms, I love the big budget blockbuster ones sometimes, I love long ones, short ones, story driven or sims, puzzles and combat or none of the above, whether polished or janky I can always find the potential. I love games! 🎮

Food is awesome, because it has a magical "authenticity" from lineage.
I'm making what I would consider "knockoff char siu" and it's kinda fascinating food can be "authentic", but since I don't think I've ever had "authentic" char siu I 100% certain can't make it authentic imo. Still smells amazing

Reading The legend of Kamui part 2. I read some of this in school when I was like... 8 or 9? It was a printing of the comic panels with like a translated to swedish book that you had to refer to panel by panel. Still cool, still sexist, still wierd as heck in an interesting way, would recommend.

The winner takes all-instant hit-meme-flywheel mentality that has completely overtaken the games industry and even #indiedev is poison.
It deteriorates the space for risk and sustainable growth, until all that's left is to to either make slot-machines or slop-machines.
