I've just started a YouTube series about understanding how computers do all the amazing things they do. It's called Hello World, check out the first episode and let me know what you think! youtube.com/watch?v=Mq3eE5…

I don't know if anybody's even on here anymore but I just released a game demo, it's a match-3 battler called Dragonslide, it's free so why not give it a try? slagrasta.itch.io/dragonslide

@BalanceKingdom @itchio @CWhippogames @Ultigonio @GunBuds Hey, cool! Hope you enjoy it, I’ll try to catch the stream.

Day 242 - Around 6:00 PM PST 08-JAN-2024, we are #streaming 3 #indiegames from the #BRJE of @itchio: - 0724: Nest Lander by @CWhippogames - 0725: Nano Driller by @Ultigonio - 0726: @GunBuds by @NoGasta twitch.tv/kingdombalance #TwitchStreamer #indiewatch #indieDevs

twitch chat: how does this game feature work? me, a game developer who implemented the feature based on a gdc talk from the developers: it's like this twitch chat: i guess we'll never know

Hey I was just thinking that there are probably some people out there who follow me but haven't bought my game yet. Why not go do it now before you forget again? slagrasta.itch.io/gunbuds

Sometimes your partner’s love language is “drop what you’re doing and go pick up a half price cheesecake”

I can’t believe there’s a a 4k port of TimeSplitters2 hidden inside Homefront and nobody told me: polygon.com/22375774/times…

Netflix and chill? Haha no way man I never chill - (holds finger to my ear like a reporter) - hold on, I’m just getting word that isn’t the flex I thought it was

Calling my dog by her full AKC name so that she knows she’s in BIG trouble

@DevSalvatrix @Lorg_ I’m in fine health so I don’t get much direct benefit from socialized medicine but I’m much happier to have my tax dollars go to things like that than to maintaining the world’s largest military

@Lorg_ ... and loopiness from the oxy prescribed to me for all the pain until I was finally well enough to be able to be in an office for a full day. Going to have that same surgery again later this year and am so glad to not be in the US for it.

America is nuts. My buddy got pneumonia. Bad enough to go to the ER. Antibiotics. Etc. 3-4 days later he had to force himself to go to work, because of sick leave days. I’ve been in Sweden long enough now that this seems even more insane than it did when I lived in the US.

@TartanLlama *flashes back to being so un-streetwise that a single conversation with Cuno breaks my morale so hard that I give up on life* Yeah same

Time to have a relaxing break* from work * Read Disco Elysium quotes and weep

@Lorg_ Part of the problem is being unable to decide if I want to lean more into “complete iconoclast” or “silver fox”

@NoGasta Just take the plunge and get those fancy Swede clothes, man. Super worth.

The thing about Sweden is that everyone is so fashionable and put-together and I’m over here looking like I came out of the Saints Row 2 character creator

Lots of oligarchs are bigots of one stripe or another, but even when they aren't, they are still pro-bigotry, because bigotry is how they secure power. 56/

I think the biggest flaw in perspective most Americans have is we take our position in the World Order for granted. On an international scale we are DYING. I'm a freak for history and trying to get normal people to understand shit so indulge me for a second while I rant:

Hey US folks, some friends of mine in Sweden were looking for the best reproductive health/rights charities to support from afar(IE: services and travel across state lines). Can you send some links my way, where the most of the donation goes to actual charity, not overhead.

@GrlpantsGR I got to go to Venice a few years back and I was staggered at the detail they could do in marble. One of my favorites: commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Anto…

My son told me to advertise my game more, so... please buy Gunbuds! It's good for a few hours of silly 5-player local co-op blastin' and it's only $5 slagrasta.itch.io/gunbuds

@ChappersChapman Just picked this up a few days ago, it’s a fantastic game you & the team should be very proud of!

It’s finally time to become a Captain of your own ship on July 21st, an experience we’ve wanted to bring to #SeaOfThieves for so long! Set sail and join 30 MILLION PLAYERS! 💚
