Today, a kid saw me drawing on the playground and asked, "Why are you drawing these people? Oh, is it because you don't have a phone?" #lifesketches #drawing #kidsthesedays

ZigZag FM is a great throwback to early internet experiments. You discover music by sailing across a map organized by genre, year, country..etc. It's the kind of playfulness big (streaming) platforms don't try. Lots of gems here, and the map makes for nice transitions. I have invite codes to spare!
Really nice free Radio station that plays music you probably never heard of. www.nts.live #radio #work #music
NTS | Don't Assume
NTS is a global radio platform broadcasting music from over 50 cities around the globe, live 24/7.

Squint your eyes to reveal the hidden message. This font adds decoy letters that make it hard for an AI to read it. It'll come in handy in 20 years when Terminators patrol your streets. www.mixfont.com/experiments/...
No science fiction could have prepared us for just how stupid the end of the world can be. "The environment was on the brink of collapse, and so, rather than deal with that, we burned what fuel we had left getting computers to scam each other for money."
I visited this latest James Turrell piece, and it was quite something. I expected (as often with Turrell’s work) the light to be at the forefront, but the noise of the crowd reflected in interesting ways in the dome and carried equal weight for me. #denmark #turrell #lightinstallation
Looking forward to see all your experimental faces at @amazefest.bsky.social very soon! 🎭👾 #amaze2026
Love that this #VFX gets plenty of screentime. Some VFX in games are so snappy (for good reasons of course) that it's hard to enjoy all their neat details sometimes. #NavierStroke #realtimevfx #indiedev
Added a new type of fireball! #indiedev #gamedev #madewithunity #ignitement
Volume Color Editor is the best #OKLCH color picker and palette generator I’ve seen. It’s really neat how you can combine patterns! www.volumecolor.io/editor It’s available as a standalone web tool and now as a #Figma plugin, too. #oklab #colorprofiles #arttools
This Dune scene breakdown by director Denis Villeneuve is so enjoyable to watch. This small glimpse into the intent and care behind a single scene shows what would be lost if algorithms took over design decisions to speed up production www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoAA... Dune 1984 version to compare
New shader editor on the block! -> fragcoord.xyz is heaven-sent! I love that, for each variable I get a visualization of the values and also a preview similar to node-based editors like in Unity/Unreal. On top of that @xordev.com is insanely quick at implementing feature requests 🙏 #shader #glsl
Artemis II - The light is so beautifully simple it almost feels “fake” compared to the grand Sci-Fi shots we are used to NASA - Johnson www.flickr.com/photos/nasa2...
I listen to more DJ sets while working than I do in the club. Thanks #Soundcloud!
I don’t have FOMO about coding agents or GenAI. If they turn out to be as efficient as the hype says, learning to use a chat window later will be the easy part. Mastering the craft and knowing what to ask for is the hard part and a better use of my time. #coding #art #codingagents #genAI #dev

My tax advisor has a new assistant, and I love that he uses emoji reactions to my formal emails.

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

If you get a baby, learn the Dunstan Baby Language, which is a science-based approach that helps you understand what your baby needs much more quickly. I am flabbergasted that this is not the first advice you get from midwives, doctors, or friends. It is not as well-known as it should be. [1/2]
Fun and simple alt-control game I saw at @amazefest.bsky.social called Breaking News store.steampowered.com/app/3541940/... #indiegames #amaze2025 #berlin #ctr
