"Bluesky is a political echo chamber" okay but I'm mostly here to chat with fun internet people and post art and make jokes, I cannot stress how much I don't care

The kid is begging me for a pool and tbh I have never wanted to give him something more in my life but we don't have tens of thousands of dollars laying around 😭

BREAKING: Google has rolled back its tool less than a day after it launched. Updated story coming soon.

we could be solving the climate crisis and instead we get this garbage that completely destroys the usefulness of a service that was totally fine the way it was

New from 404 Media: Google Earth has introduced an AI feature that lets anyone fabricate completely bullshit satellite images. In our own tests, we added a “bomb blast and crater” to an area of Los Angeles. This is a misinformation time bomb, will 100% be abused www.404media.co/google-earth...

can we all agree to coin the genre "exploraction" and be done with it

Chronoscript: The Endless End rethinks the Metroidvania

This InfoWars caper is going a little too well. We need to staff up a bit. We're hiring a Social Media Lead, who will help make InfoWars the network of the future. We need someone who is extraordinarily online, has big ideas for how things break through in 2026, and can pull those ideas off quick.

Elsbeth's skills are are as excellent as her treats, and she'll put her whole heart into working with any team ❤️

Hi everyone, today me and 22 others at Double Fine were hit by layoffs today. All the people who lost their jobs today care so much about the games they make and the people they work with. If anyone is looking for a tools SE with 7 years of experience and who brings baked goods on Mondays lmk.

DF is losing some really amazing people today. They are some of the smartest kindest people you can ever work with. Please be on the look out for them as they search for what's next!

Any team would be instantly 148592737% better to have a programmer like Silvio on it ❤️

Don Silvio@omichron.bsky.social · last wk.

I suppose this is as good a time as any to update my profile information, seeing as I was one of the 23 people laid off by Double Fine today. Twelve years ended today. I wish it could have been twelve years more.

Justin is a great IT person, and an even better human. If you're looking for a true pro, he's your guy.

Justin Beckegger@skarrg.bsky.social · last wk.

15 years at double fine comes to an end. It’s understandable since I’d been mostly dealing with MS and well… role closed. I hope they can survive.

Vouching for Ben is easy. If you're looking for a game designer with a good heart, please scoop him up ❤️

Ben Johnson 🏺👻@gamedesignerben.bsky.social · last wk.

Layoffs hit Double Fine today, and I'm sorry to report that I was one of the ones hit. If you need a game designer with tech chops and 2+ decades of experience, here I am.

Happy birthday @timoflegend.bsky.social! Have fun playing board games today!

NINETY PERCENT lmao Couldn't have happened to a worse guy

If a date puts a phone down and says "I'm recording myself so I can ask AI how I did tonight," immediately leave. Run, even

I don't even know why I bothered, I'm never gonna get a 30th box

I'm so jacked for this, give me ALL the Castlevania

Aidan Moher@aidanmoher.com · 3w ago

I flew to Paris for 40 hours to check out Castlevania: Belmont's Revenge for Kotaku and it rips so hard.

Can't spell mansplain without AI

One of the more misogynistic takes currently trending in the AI policy space is "women use less AI than men because they have less tech literacy" Ok but have you considered that women use less AI than men because we have more tech literacy?

new all-time low in $SPCX (for the 7th straight day)

Brutal photo caption from The Guardian: “Gianni Infantino carefully explains to Donald Trump that he is not part of the Spanish national team.”

WOW THIS PHOTO IS INSANE LORE NOW Lamine Yamal and Messi will now be competing against each other 19 years after this photo at the World Cup Final

I'm not sure how to express this without sounding insane, but it is so hot today that I daydreamed about crawling into a huge tub of ice cream and falling into a weeklong coma inside

furiously tapping the "public education is one of the most important issues in our time because literacy rates are plummeting" sign because this video identifies a key symptom: literally every dipshit internet argument ever.

so you're saying his *aorta* got the diarrhea parasite

WASHINGTON (AP) — Lindsey Graham died from aorta rupture stemming from hardening of arteries: preliminary finding from medical examiner.

counterpoint: the dead should make it harder for me to speak ill of them

idk guys "i'm having a heart attack" is exactly the kind of thing you'd say to 911 to avoid admitting you were dying of explosive diarrhea
