After you say “I don’t know the specifics of this case and so am going to be careful about wading in,” the next thing you say should be nothing.
Why are you commenting if you don’t know the specifics of the case!!!!!
Got most of the world rendering and movement done for my #lowrezjam entry. Taking part of my idea that I made a bit ago. #pico8 #gamedev #indiedev
'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)

This deal is hard to refuse. I've been eyeing this game for a long time. Detective noir imm sim! store.steampowered.com/app/986130/S...
Harrison Ford, the actor behind loveable scoundrels Han Solo and Indiana Jones, started his career as an on-set carpenter. That makes him a roguelike deckbuilder.

Checking that quad boundaries join up with no holes or overlaps. This one kind of reminds me of a colour plate from an 80s siggraph paper. #picotron

Only in polling stations this Thursday, 30th July from 7am... 🍿 Geraldine Coggins is your Green mayoral candidate ready to take Greater Manchester back from big money. Vote Green first tomorrow 💚
Credit to the Donkeys guys, who I have been critical of in the past. It’s a sharp contrast to the rest of British liberalism, which has - at very best - sat silently on its hands saying nothing, presumably because they understand just how badly incriminated the most prominent Sensible Moderates are.
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.
A short thread explaining trans exclusion in the law, and the Code of Practice, in response to a load of questions 🧵 Obviously this is necessarily simplified. I cannot write a legal textbook on Bluesky.

Andrew Wakefield will never see the full extent of the punishment he deserves for being the progenitor of this monumentally devastating destruction of the health of our society. My anger knows no limits for the devastation his fraudulent science has caused. I cannot fit it into one Bluesky post.
I’m sorry what
BBC says Iran are risking "wider war" by threatening UK bases that the US are being allowed to launch attacks from... No BBC I'd say thats Burnham taking that risk by allowing the attacks. We can't assist in bombing a place and be surprised when the place fires back at us
In October last year I was fired by Rockstar Games in what we believe was a union busting move. We lost our home. We lost 2 jobs with my partner being forced to resign. We lost a community. Most importantly however we had to leave our two dogs behind, one of which will never return.
Back in October, Rockstar Games fired 34 employees for alleged gross misconduct. The severity of these firings could have spelled the end for a burgeoning union effort that was underway, but it didn't. In fact, the union is now *bigger* than it's ever been before. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ym4z...

Unfortunately me and a lot of other programmers have been made redundant. A lot of talented people I've had the pleasure of working with over these past 4 years have been affected as well. If anyone's looking for gameplay programmers, designers, audio, etc. please do reach out to us 🙏🖤
A year after the Online Safety Act, British regulator Ofcom confirms its age-verification regulations haven't stopped kids from accessing porn — despite widespread industry compliance. "Our research shows that almost half of the pornography services visited by children have no age checks in place"

This report assesses how sites and apps use age checks to protect children from online harm.

I dunno if I was wanting to indicate that my new government was going to be different to the last one, I might hire some new faces from my 400 MPs to be in my cabinet and not stick with the same dozen ghouls that killed my party’s approval ratings
Andy Burnham opts to keep Shabana Mahmood as Home Secretary. A big mistake
"Civilization was a mistake" — me when I stay up too late playing Civilization
Most of my experience lies with Unity and Unreal (as well as doing smaller projects Raylib projects using the C# and C++ wrappers) but am open (and excited) about learning new engines!
I know the industry is in a dire state right now for jobs but If any indie studios see this and need an additional programmer, PLEASE let me know ASAP! my partner @barndone.bsky.social is a great generalist programmer and needs a home! Vancouver on 1 salary isn't going to cut it for long 😓
