new silly little toy for me to test: the Canon Prima Sol/Sure Shot del Sol, a 1990s 35mm film camera with a lithium battery that's charged with a solar cell. it's very cute.

relatively compact film camera with a big solar cell at the frontthe panel with the solar cell opens up and reveals the actual camera!

itchio bundle to help laid off game workers is obviously an honourable endeavour, but i do find interesting the interplay between AAA/"industry" actors and a platform considered unserious or even worthless by "industry" where the affordances of the latter is ultimately beneficial to the former

the euro bank note redesign proposals with birds on them are so cute... there's one with birds AND little drawings of bugs and i think that's my favourite.

eenk, my interactive fiction firmware for Xteink e-reader, is making progress🙂 I've added custom font support (at device level and story level). The IDE is shaping up. I'm working on documentation, update process, polish. It's getting there! Does anyone have a cool ink story it could ship with?

A screenshot of the eenky IDE specially designed to create (and compile) stories for the eenk firmware. It's a fork of inkle's Inky editor with complete frontend rewrite.A picture showing the xteink eenk reader playing an ink story with a futuristic looking custom font. It's the same story as in the IDE screenshot.

my parents are in their sixties going on 9hr mountain hikes in the alps every weekend because my dad wants to visit all the glaciers threatened by climate change and pay his respects 🥲

my uninformed analysis based on nothing at all is that za/um leadership was always going to lay off people regardless of zero parades' commercial performance. i feel bad for the folks who worked on it, it's a good game!
