"please comment" post that doesn't mention conversation is basically impossible in cohost comments

With the #RaspberryPi5 releasing, don't forget how they boasted about hiring an ex surveillance cop, then ridiculed the people who criticized them for it.

Also remember how you weren't able to buy a Pi for months because they prioritized supplying their business customers.

I'm not buying #RaspberryPi products any longer, nor do I recommend them to my friends and clients. The Pi Foundation has become seriously out of touch.

Do you make games? Have you ever made a game? Would you like to have your game included in the world's premier monthly alternative gaming anthology? (and get paid)

Submit it to Indiepocalypse! All games are welcome! No matter the subject, theme, gameplay, or even whether you made it yesterday or made it 10 years ago. (and "game" has a very loose definition around here)

A game jam from 2023-09-01 to 2023-10-05 hosted by PIZZAPRANKS. Hello! Welcome to the entry page for issue #46 Indiepocalypse Zine! What is this thing anyway? Simply, it's a monthly collection of games from 10 deve...

Indiepocalypse (me) is collaborating with the long running and all-around amazing indie comic small press Iron Circus (https://ironcircus.com/) to make a game anthology bringing together teams of comic artists and game makers! This will also be start the start of Iron Circus branching into games with Iron Circus games.

There'll be a crowdfund in 2024, but we've got some small previews of the games right now because we're excited to share it with the world!

I myself may also be working on a game for this?!

The Generous Space of Alternative Game Engines (A Curation)

If you're starting a new project you should think very carefully about any closed source or proprietary software you use because all of them can pull stuff like Unity is doing at any time.
The ethics of mainstream gamedev are actually completely fucked. Pushing for orders of magnitude more compute power every decade for what are now rapidly diminishing returns and rapidly increasing power draw. When / if supply chains start collapsing it may well be a whole class of creativity rendered completely inaccessible to most people.

My friend tuckie has started a #gamedev forum! "It's not meant to replace social media, or just let you advertise your game, rather to find a dedicated space to meet and get feedback from other developers." If this sounds like the kind of scene you wanna be a part of, hop on over to https://aregames.art !
