What's up bluesky! Considering the recent wave of arrival from the other flying animal, we thought we might reintroduce ourselves. We're a 10 year old game studio specialised in unusual ways to tell stories. We're part of @devolverdigital.com (hi daddy) and we released 11 mad and beautiful games...
So proud to have been even a tiny part of this story over the last (almost) four years.
I just discovered in the worst way possible that Powerwash Simulator 2 on the Switch 2 has a save bug 😭

20 hours into cyberpunk, and what stands out is the complete AUTHORSHIP. No filler, very little repetition. Ungodly expensive at this level of fidelity, but I think it points to where stuff is heading post ai-slop. Artisan sourced, devkit to table, human shit. A move away from value = hours

Just finished yet another rewatch of Firefly and Serenity. It’s been 20 years and I’m still raging about it.
They took the sky from me.

I realised today that I never joined in any craft projects from Blue Peter as a kid because I never had any “sticky back plastic” or even knew what it was.
It was Sellotape, wasn’t it?

Finally watched Alien Romulus. It tries too hard and it was occasionally silly, but I didn’t hate it as much as I expected…
Until the last 20 minutes!
Now I want to blow it out of the goddamn airlock and nuke the site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

I've been getting back into a hobby project over the hols, but it's been a bit "old man yelling at cloud".
I want to use a lib. It has language bindings. The bindings need to be generated. The generator needs to be built. In python. I don't have python. I get python. The build fails. I'm tired.
