Finishing up our ST:TNG rewatch finally, and boy they did Riker dirty in the finale. Made him look so much older than everyone else.

I played Maniac Mansion a lot when I was a kid, and I sincerely doubt even anyone back then could sit down and bang it out in under 4 hours with no help.

Infrastructure matters, folks

New feature in today: Trinkets! These handy little knick-knacks can provide some exciting bonuses to your run, or change your strategy entirely...

Slay the Spire 2 crashing Steam was not on my bingo card.

You are... not wrong.

DUNE - Complete MT-32 Soundtrack - PC MS-DOS (1992) YouTube video by barbarianbros

Today's Random Old Game music - the entire soundtrack to 1992's DUNE! (Not to be confused with Dune II, which came out mere months later and was totally unrelated). It's nice chill sci-fi listening. #gamemusic #retrogames www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zYS...

It's fun that I cannot trust a single thing I see on the internet anymore.

Also a great idea!

My extremely 🔥#gamedev opinion is that if you are making an RPG or whatever and you have a button the player has to hold down to run, and there is no reason for the player *not* to run for 99% of the game, you should instead have a button to walk slowly.

last night I fell asleep with the Zelda: Ocarina of Time shop theme stuck in my head and this morning I woke up with the same song stuck in my head so I made this

Hey.

Tell people when they do good job.

When you like the stuff they make.

When you like the characters they’ve created.

The stories they’ve told.

Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time.

Trust. They don’t.

Tell. Them.

Camp Keepalive, by Joel Haddock 13 track album

Now that we can embed Bandcamp stuff, seems the perfect opportunity to post the Camp Keepalive soundtrack! joelhaddock.bandcamp.com/album/camp-k...

And the perfect thing to do while listening to the soundtrack? Buying the game! #indiegame store.steampowered.com/app/3637630/...

A crow whistles to itself on a bright winter day. It's scratching at the snow with its foot. It sees something blue and plastic sticking out of the snow and says "Hello what's this". It reaches to pick it up with its beak and yanks it out with a "shing!"

The thing is revealed to be a blue bic pen. The crow holds it triumphantly above its head. There is a magic light emanating from the pen which is creating a blue crosshatching effect on the sky.

The crow holds the glorious pen and the words "I AM ARTIST" frame the image.
