The Wyndfinder
@catlordgames.bsky.social
Hello from Cat Lord Games! Currently building The Wyndfinder, a classic-style CRPG, demo coming in 2026!
So, what do y’all do while waiting for steam to approve a playtest build? My choice is apparently cram a giant feature in last minute. Seems smart.
Oregon taxpayers are stupidly paying for a fire department, even though it is unlikely their house ever catches on fire.
USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 6d agoOpinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.
here's my blog post about how people who use generative ai are deeply estranged from themselves and reality itself, their souls drifting rudderless in open water, asphyxiating www.joewintergreen.com/i-think-the-...
Blue Bottle Games, as a policy, does not use generative AI. It's something we've discussed as a team, weighing the pros and cons, and ultimately, we decided it was not for us. Recently, while chatting with a colleague, she mentioned it was useful hearing our reasoning. So: Sharing time! 1/12

I went to PIG Con by @pigsquad.com this weekend. (My firm was even a sponsor!) I spent almost the entire time on Saturday on the show floor playing games and talking to the developers. Here's some of the highlights of what I got to check out.
PIGCON vibes were immaculate. It felt like we were all just hanging out at a friend's house playing video games and talking. The showcase was fantastic, I spent too much money at artist alley. The LIVE T SHIRT PRINTING. The talks!! The music performances blew my socks off. Special stuff!
Heads up for any artists/writers/etc currently using Linktree to point people to their work: from 5 July they'll be feeding all imagery you use on your landing page into DALL-E.
Arte es Ética@arteesetica.bsky.social · 2mo ago¡ATENCIÓN! 🚨 El 5 de Julio de 2026 entra en vigencia la actualización de los ToS de Linktree. Esto incluye el uso de IA generativa (Dall-E de OpenAI) con los textos, imágenes y links que el usuario suba a su cuenta. Incluso compartirán toda la info del usuario con otros proveedores externos de IA ⚠️
Had a GREAT time showcasing today at PIGCon! The start of something beautiful for not just our community, but our city. Much love to the folks at @pigsquad.com who made it happen. #PIGCon #indiedev #gamedev
