When tech neglects the ability to bring people into a physical place, it turns every artist account into an individual look-at-me promotional game small artists can never win. Insta is a horrible example of an anti-event platform. But early days Facebook was actually very good for that.

many of you were wondering why the hot part of the cigarette is on his head. well,

Mid Century Modern tableware and where I think it would stand on trans issues, a thread

I wish Bungie had committed to the “Marathon shells crash after ~30 minutes” bit such that chat was via some future version of Microsoft Teams

Quoting for reach, because it's important work. P.S. I beg that kerning this logo is part of your bid

Cole Harry found himself in the midst of a sudden divorce. His ex took the apartment, the furniture — and his Rancho Gordo Bean Club subscription. When heirloom beans are caught in the middle of a messy divorce, who should get custody? @soleilho.com asks Bay Area food club leaders to chime in.

gamedevs and related: who's your favourite 3D character artist and are they available for a gig looking for Y2K-ish, PS1-ish vibes ideally: design, modelling, rigging, animating tell ya friends. send me their deets

a great solution when your camera keeps clipping into the environment is to just move the environment out of the way

New from 404 Media: we solved which AI company is buying massive shipments of rare books, scanning and destroying them to train AI. We put an Apple AirTag in a rare book, followed it. It ended up at an Amazon facility. Its logo is a dinosaur ripping through a book www.404media.co/we-tracked-a...

i have received a very important message

I'm developing a game that involves English phonemes and language is kicking my overconfident ass

I'll just go pick up a pizza. That sounds straightforward and not too expensive…

Lamenting the lack of typographic skill on display here but also that it reads like Pilates Booty

Years in the making, I finally have a working prototype of my Camera GBD-M2 (previously shared as Game Boy Camera M2). A sequel to the Game Boy Camera M1, this new redesign uses original Game Boy Pocket & Game Boy Camera chips into a camera-like shape roughly the same size as the Ricoh GR III.

I want to believe that if @doublefine.com would just release Kiln with split screen multiplayer on the Switch 2 that things might turn around

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.

Gotta make you own fun😁#b3d

It's safe to assume that all major LLMs are scraping Bluesky data to train future models. As an open protocol, Bluesky is one of the few sources of fresh human-generated content that anybody can gobble up. So all this is probably going in the models. There are submarines in the Great Lakes.

While we’re on the topic of lettuce in Mexican food, I would like to offer a gentle reminder that lettuce does NOT belong in burritos.

fellow millennials, let's take a second to appreciate how great it feels to be in the prime marketing demographic catered to by all of the culture. I get now why boomers wanted it to last forever

I had heard nothing of this, and I was just rewarded with the perfect game discovery

My dudes, I am like 20 minutes into Denshattack and I am beaming from ear to ear, absolutely some of the most fun I've had with a new game all year. This rocks so hard

The "zero shadow" phenomenon is only true for perfectly vertical straight-sided objects, but it's trippy to look at. The State Museum of Natural and Cultural History of Hawai'i ran a contest to come up with a name & landed on 'Lāhainā' which means "cruel sun" in Hawai'ian.
