...Retsuko? Is this you?? 😳🤘

The idea that everybody on the planet must forever be beholden to the default of babysitter of other people’s children except for their actual fucking parents, and as a result any attempt to opt of non-consensual babysitting must include getting my identity stolen, is an idea that must fucking die.

my This Machine Makes Fascists Slightly Uncomfortable (Or At Least It Would If They Noticed Me At All) sticker is too large to fit on my guitar

it’s past 9pm somewhere,

this jit packs maven libraries

firing up my IDE for thirty minutes and going “oh cool i have made some progress. now i get to go back to doomscrolling”

Code is cheap; understanding is valuable. LLMs can give you code, and sometimes it even works, but when you need to understand the problem and the solution for yourself, the most an LLM can do is point you in a direction that looks right.

the reverse pomodoro technique: do five minutes of work and then take a twenty minute break

We’re on sale for our biggest discount yet: 35% off! Game Informer said 1000xRESIST is “one of the most groundbreaking stories in video game history.” So run, don’t walk, to grab our Peabody award-winning game!

I've been trying to reframe "I'm not built like that" as "I haven't built myself like that" but actually I don't think I like taking that much responsibility for the way that I am

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice: www.pentadact.com/2026-01-08-1... I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

drank too much, woke up after four hours of sleep with a gnarly hangover, threw up. can i get a mulligan

ok I know for a bit if you applied for a US passport while transgender they'd just steal your documents and not give you a passport; does anybody know if it's still quite that bad? I'm assuming even though I got my birth certificate corrected I'm not likely to get accurate info

just got married btw

evil gerson: I’m young!

heartbreaking: if you toss your ancient kindle in a box and forget it for several years and move three times, the screen may break

Really enjoyed being a (tiny and then nothing at all) part of this very cool project!

you, foolish: “can games be art?” me, wise beyond mortal comprehension: “can art be games?”

The 1953 artwork Erased de Kooning Drawing was created by Robert Rauschenberg out of a drawing by Willem de Kooning. The 2025 game Deleted Pippin Barr Game was created by cactus out of a game by Pippin Barr. somnolentsucculentstudio.itch.io/deleted-pipp...

this is a reasonable top 10 most scrobbled artists

overstimulated pinball in a pinball machine. i don’t know what’s happening but i know a lot of it is happening

can’t wait to learn about myself, the micro trans it

in the spirit of doing the opposite of all the worst trends of the industry, htmx should become woke

that awkward moment when your personality disorder is a substantial component of your personality so it’s hard to imagine getting better while still being yourself

I may be still on my phone at 3:30 AM but at least I'm up to date on drama in a package manager I don't use or even particularly care about

solipsistic chinese room. I don't exist, I'm only pretending to exist

amazing how Stephen Colbert discovered the most fundamental limitation of LLMs twelve years before they even existed in their current form. truthiness has never been so popular

1. unfortunately, yes 2. unfortunately, yes 3. unfortunately, yes

was going to be like “do i need to make woke omarchy” but no, woke omarchy will probably happen anyway and it’ll be called LixOS

My employer’s remote work policies are changing, and Salt Lake City isn’t “commutable distance” from Boston, so I’m looking for a new job. If you’re hiring software developers to work on something that’s prosocial and technically ambitious, DM me, or check my website for my email.

The function of the waffles joke is an in-group signifier. Singal, Graber, and Oppiliappan are showing in-group solidarity; they're all in on a joke.

“oh this vps doesn’t need an ipv4 address, all i need to do is grab some stuff from github” ← clueless

stealing legend valor by using mare solely to give yourself the ultimate raid weapons is a really funny bit, and the idea of an ultimate raider mare user who gets mad at that is comedy gold. but justifying your mod policy by gesturing towards that second user is just kinda sad

thank you @valkyri-anna.bsky.social for the idea hehe

ambition, and other phases to be outgrown

they call me more groceries the way I get eaten
