Look you just have to make the cool weird shit that excites you. You must. In this world besieged by bland, scrubbed boring, computer slop, you must. Make the thing you’re embarrassed to make, the thing that feels “too much” because otherwise we get drowned in a sea of cowardly work made by a button

Saw the unreleased baseball game I helped preserve in a working cabinet today! I felt a sense of unearned pride, like the absent dad of a famous person.

Can you tell me how to get - how to get to 201 Waterfront St? We're kickin it old school in 2026, bringing it back to the street where it all began w/our most nostalgic, educational, retro theme EVER! This message brought to you by the letters M, A, and G, & the numbers 13 & 37!

people are always talking about kids movies that adults can enjoy. they should make movies for cats that adults can enjoy (lots of birds but also innuendo jokes maybe)

"When I ask Oakland-based @donnotron.bsky.social what the benefit of being an independent developer might be, he replies, 'You get to make the best game you can.'”

Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who attended, organized, helped, and showed their work at the Boshi’s X Syzygy FREE RANGE INDIE GAMES show! I had a great time organizing it with everyone <3 Stay tuned for an itch.io page with the show’s games!

I've now got an arduino talking to it, and I wrote a small test program to let me figure out what all the "keys" are. Everything is keys, like the joystick's position, the wheel's position, if the phone is on hook, etc. But next step is setting this up to act like a USB keyboard/Joystick.

Our crew worked around the clock to pull off a hell of a MAGFest in Jan., and we're spooling back up after some necessary R&R! It's high time we updated the community, and intro'd ourselves to many new faces. First, Coming Soon! Your opportunity to Step Up to the Contraption:
