this was an idle joke a year ago but what with current events and so on i think there is now a legitimate chance that by the time this game releases whatever world it is satirizing will be so dead its genre might as well be fantasy

'Steel Paws' and 'Flutter Butterflies' Latest Planned Netflix Games Removals December 2024 marked the significant exodus of games from the Netflix library, and since then, thankfully, removals have been few and far between. However,

The talk about Nagoshi had me wondering “what about that Yu Suzuki game that got announced last year, is it okay”

Turns out it not only came out early last year to no fanfare but Netflix already delisted it from their Netflix Games platform. yikes

idr if i ever posted this here but sam and max was mentioned so i post it now

I remember learning about the Hays Code in film school and how it made it so that any amoral protagonist had to meet karmic justice by the end of the film and going “wow, that’s really silly” and then once a week I log online and see people argue that we need stuff like that now or it’s problematic

Screenshot Jamesgurneyart: has anyone else noticed that things look warmer (that is more yellow orange) when you PAINT them (bottom image) compared to how they look when you PHOTOGRAPH them at the same time (top image) ? If so, why? Art-lust-: James, you choose the paints

Facebook gave me this and the fact he stupidly uses ai now makes this even painfully funnier

I was just venting to a friend the other day about how 10 years ago it was like… unheard of to see this volume of projects get so far into development before the company funding it decides “project cancelled, everyone go home” how much money is being thrown away on art no one gets to see?

Today... we commemorate a great and terrible deed.

I was standing at my local Döner shop here in Berlin the other day, waiting for my order, when it hit me: A Döner (plus a Coke) costs roughly what Tackle for Loss does here in Euro. That felt right for Berlin. But it made me wonder: Is that "Döner-Equity" the same everywhere else? I started chatting with players from all over the world, and it turns out that Valve’s default currency conversion doesn't feel fair in my opinion. I don't want the game to be a luxury investment. So, I’ve manually adjusted the prices to make things more fair: For my players in Turkey and the Middle East: I’ve reduced the price by 36%. It should now cost about the same as a solid chicken kebab, and yeah, I’m talking the luxury version with extra sauce and a coke. In Eastern Europe and CIS countries (like Ukraine or Kazakhstan): Prices are down by 32%. Across Latin America: You’ll see a price drop of about 28%. In South Asia (including India and Pakistan): I've reduced it by 23%. A huge thank you to everyone who helped me figure this out. Admittedly I’ve made some of these calls based on gut feeling, so if your local experience tells you something else, hit me up and share your perspective. Daniel

revisiting the "pricing my indie game" discourse from a while back to add a new metric: kebab pricing

I've mentioned that I stand by all queer people, and that includes the large gay men who talk about being large gay men over and over again but y'know.

Bears repeating.

A children's hospital is renamed for Dolly Parton and hopes to transform pediatric care in Tennessee Dolly Parton’s name might inspire full-throated sing-a-longs to her working woman’s anthem “9 to 5,” or evoke memories of thrilling days spent at her Dollywood theme park.

“Dolly Parton Children’s Hospital did not share how much Parton donated as part of the naming announcement. But Matt Schaefer, its president and CEO, said her support would ensure ‘every child who walks through our doors receives the treatment they deserve.’”

GOD BLESS DOLLY PARTON

My daughter reported that the ICE presence outside her school during recess last week involved ICE officers sitting IN AN ICE CREAM TRUCK. And this wasn't kids misinterpreting. We had an email from the school the day it happened; we just didn't get the ice cream detail in the email.
