Who wants to tell @StephenKing that his work has inspired a November #GameJam?

My friends made a match-3 game about burying someone alive in the desert.

You know, as one does.

🚨 new blog post! 🚨

What can OVER THE GARDEN WALL teach us about creating adventures? A whole lot, it turns out! Let's break down the structure so we can use it for our own designs.

[Damion Schubert - @ZenOfDesign.com on bsky @ZenOfDesign]

A lot of game devs are dunking on this, but if you're not a game dev it's probably not actually obvious why. So I thought I'd take a moment to answer a little more thoughtfully in hopes of giving gamers a little more insight on what we do.

The average person in their 20s has seen:
-the first successful ouster vote of a Speaker ever
-3 of the 4 presidential impeachments
-2 of the 4 popular vote-electoral college splits
-the first-ever presidential indictments
-a coup attempt

@MarxistRealism Forbes isn’t much better than a blog, but does this help?

Hey, if you're a Patreon creator and are confused as to why a bunch of your income vanished, it's because Patreon's system appears to have totally collapsed. They sent me an email saying my credit card blocked the payment as fraudulent, and CANCELLED ALL OF MY CREATOR SUPPORT. 1/

LOLOL, not if you were the last source of information on Earth.

1/10 Apparently, economists have had for years a popular anonymous forum with 4chan-like levels of toxicity. The forum's administrator who is (temporarily?) anonymous would have done well to take an introductory crypto class or simply learn the maxim "don't roll your own crypto"

I saw this post a few weeks ago and have not stopped thinking about it. Unironically, this is my entire philosophy of art regardless of medium.

"It’s always been the rule – whoever writes the least crap game, as punishment for not being crap enough, gets to host next year’s competition."
I love our medium so much 🤣❤️

It's not a great look to use an extreme weather event for boosting your follower count.

(To be fair, their national service sent an emergency alert AND told people to follow a Twitter account for more updates, but it seems like a mixed message.)

[Reuters @Reuters]

Twitter not suited for emergency communications, Dutch say after storm https://t.co/7oojaMRJEX

Was literally just thinking about Google Reader and how getting rid of it kicked off the decline of…almost everything
