Watching at @boshis.place! Exciting programs and initiates being discussed in the opening keynotes by president Aurelia Augusta including healthcare, hardship fund, organizing fellowships, and game workers bill of rights.

I’ve released my new game for @castle.xyz! It’s a collection of tiny games you play with one tap (or click). Every day is a different selection of games from the pool of one tap games I’ve made. Including fishing, breath holding, runaway trains, geese, and more. s.castle.xyz/xraSJk7NT9dX

I tried a half-dozen alternatives last year, a week each. Concluded that the Kagi family plan ($3.33/month for 6 people) is the best deal, as a deeply customizable search aggregator. You can search w/ zero ads, no AI answers, sort by lack of trackers (non-commercial first), small sites only etc etc

If you’ve a card, betting or bluffing game/ prototype or idea for one that you’d like to grace the Car Boot Casino floor with in future then let me know this-a-way -> forms.gle/HVi9q7irnX21...

Congrats to the winner of the Digital Moment Award 🌴🦩:  Hanwen Xu & Hatim Benhsain with coalescent || tidal rapture 🏆 This game goes beyond normative depictions of intimacy and doesn't shy away from being meaningfully sensuous, mysterious, complex, and primal.  #amaze 2026

We're letting readers put us on trial! Pay just $4.99 for your first four months of a supporter-level monthly subscription, and then just $9.99 per month after that. Plus, we'll send you a limited-edition zine version of the COURTS OF CONTEMPT! hellgatenyc.com/the-hell-gat...

I for one welcome the froyo comeback with open arms

got excited at the prospect of getting to use a cross product today only to be disappointed that zeroing the y and normalizing is the solution (like always). it's just like when I think it's going to be a linked list day, but it never is it's always just a dang regular list day
