Caravan SandWitch (PC) — 7/10Another one I wouldn't have played if it hadn't been free on Epic. The demo had a bad camera; the finished game has an accessibility setting (somehow off by default) for a less vomit-inducing version, still far from perfect — I did need aspirin to finish the game — but a lot more tolerable. The demo also had terribly annoying dialogue, and the finished game still does,…
21:44I need to understand why it is so frequent for YouTubers to do last-minute voiceover pickups on a different, shittier microphone. How complex can your regular recording setup be that it becomes completely inaccessible when youre not actively using it? 22:19TIL about the Sharp X68000, a completely wild home computer / games console with a Motorola processor, bitmap coprocessors and advanced…
21:36I dont think I even knew macOS still included screen sharing. mastodon.social 21:52Ive wanted this for ages: a quick note-to-self to display as a live activity on the lock screen. (Im sure I must have seen an app or two that could be wrangled into doing something similar, but nothing so clean and straightforward.)Of course this being 2026 its hard to appreciate a free app without wondering if…
00:05@mar_lard@mastodon.gamedev.placeThis is good, and it's funny to me that the website creator anticipated that more people would want to ask questions (hence the credit system), and it turns out that (atm at least) more people want to play at answering them. www.youraislopbores.me 10:19@tubetime@mastodon.socialin honor of the IBM PCs 45th anniversary today, here is the original prototype…

12:40Geez I already wasnt all that happy with the Steam Controller I bought two weeks ago 🙄 mastodon.social 12:50Random rabbit hole of the morning — how much data would be involved in making a 1:1 spherical voxel representation of the Earth from public maps? I cant wait for my brain to move on to something else, because this project would involve *way* too much math for my taste. 13:25Ive…

The Incident at Galley House (PC) — 7/10Certainly not bad as far as pure information-gathering games go, but most of it made me feel a lot more like a stenographer than an investigator solving puzzles. There are some good moments, some satisfying solutions and interesting discoveries, but they are rather few and far between. At any rate I'm glad I bounced off of Type Help so I got to experience a…
