The Pentagon says it will livestream the firing squad execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan

Picard: "Note to self. Call HQ about continued danger of holodeck stuff becoming real. NOT WORTH IT."

As Order of the Sinking Star is coming out next month, in advance of review coverage coming in I wanted to add one thing to my last statement about the game: bsky.app/profile/drak... (note: at that time I didn’t have a separate personal account)

So, “Order of the Sinking Star” by Thekla was just announced, which takes several small free games (two of which are mine) and gives them a major graphical upgrade and mashes up their rulesets. I haven’t been very involved but it’s a great concept and looks cool.

Jonathan Blow tweets really bad shit about women pass it on

the "adapt or die" people failed to consider the secret third option of forming a neoluddite community where I'm selling my latest video game on usb sticks in a little lemonade stand

Dressmaker is so good! A great encapsulation of the fun of making garments, and the tribulations of forgetting how much fabric you have left. 😅 So glad we don't have to finish the seams or iron anything!

Make stuff. For the love of all that there is, please just keep making stuff! Doesn't matter if it's bad, good etc. Just *keep* making stuff.

Today I drove past someone in a full spider-man costume walking a labradoodle dyed to look like spider-man. I hope they're having a great day.

Can't draw? Don't know any artists? Don't be a bitch and turn to AI! There's nothing stopping you from making an FMV game. Any idiot can hold a camera. You don't even have to hold it well. Sometimes it's better if you can't!

I have a joke about Chrono Cross, but it's too many characters.

I have a joke about Chrono Trigger, but it’s probably not the time for it.

In a vacuum, I'm not afraid of LLMs. Automation is good or neutral. And artists will never stop making art. I AM afraid that under our capitalist fascist regime, the intentional removal of safety nets turned automation into an existential threat. I AM afraid that billionaires are forcing ai down

if people were genuinely interested in preparing children for an “inevitable future” they’d be stopping global warming and solidifying concrete pathways to homeownership, not teaching kids how to play with Claude The Guessing Toy

"Why won't the huge corporations represent more minorities?" cause they're evil and we live under fascism. I do not want more gay content from Disney, I want Disney to not exist. We are not the same.

This is the same basic reason Aquatennial exists in Minneapolis. It was, and is, meant to erase Bloody Friday from the minds of the public. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloody_...

I’m happy to have Labor Day twice but let’s remember why en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_Day

The 40 hour work week. Compensation for overtime. The right to organize and strike. These were not inherent rights given to all in the US and Canada. They were fought for by the courageous workers who came before us. On Labor Day, we remember how far we've come, as well as our fight left ahead.

“Harry Potter is great, even if…” is not a message we are accepting at this time. Because the monster who wrote those books is very much alive and profiting from them and using that money and power specifically to target trans people.

Take a break from being depressed that everything you love is being destroyed by slop for a moment and let me tell you about the beautiful symbiotic relationship between graffiti writers, train yard workers, and model train enthusiasts.

Looking for someone who can do rigging and animation for a some ad-hoc work on Crescent County! If you are that person, or know of that person, please reply or DM me 🙏

There are endless studies showing this and also the financial and societal benefits of universal basic income and or housing-first policies but the U.S. never goes for any of it because it would require allowing the poor to receive benefits that the rich consider “undeserved”

“A single-payer universal health care system could cover every American, save more than 100,000 lives a year, and still cost $1 trillion less than the system it would replace, according to a new preprint study led by researchers at the Yale School of Public Health.” ysph.yale.edu/news-article...

Jigsaw puzzles can now be VIDEOS. They don't have to necessarily be playing at the start, either. They could APPEAR to be a regular image until you have completed a certain % of the puzzle. Then STUFF COULD HAPPEN. #gamedev
