RAPTURE! IT IS HAPPENING! #jesus #rapture #endtimes #christian

It would appear I’ve made the critical mistake of becoming important at work. Damn.

When you want to stream some game dev and need a relevant title

The internet is a vast hole of people hating things because it’s easy to hate.

Hi yes watch the thing because my wonderfully talented partner did a thing.

Sy Snootles confirmed in Silksong

I’m sat next to someone on a train who’s pouring her heart out about a relationship into ChatGPT. I feel awful for her but at the same time, we as a species are so so doomed.

yep! unpaywalled:

My takeaway from Summer Game Fest so far

Wear one of these data harvesters near me and the only prompt you’ll get is to fuck right off.

Seen at the Art Institute of Chicago today (my friend is one of the curators) I admire their commitment to the bit.

Every now and again my phone shows me this photo of @smollnikki.bsky.social and @neilnewbon.bsky.social from insomnia, and it always makes me laugh

Hi yeah the US National Institute of Health is creating a registry to track autistic people. I’d like to impolitely and very judgementally scream “WHAT THE FUCK!?” This is actual Nazi shit. Like, genuine, actual Nazi level bullshit. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

So I guess I forgot to post it here, but I published my first open source project the other day. My first ever released thing as a solo dev, which I still think is weird but cool. pkg.go.dev/github.com/Q...

Everybody bully Elon so hard lately. You can hear in his voice how much everything is getting to him. His company is dying, his website is getting hacked, his approval rating is abysmal. I can’t help but feel like we’re better than this… We’re capable of bullying him 100x harder, step up your game

The UK lost 457 lives, experienced a further 616 casualties, and spent £32.8bn in Afghanistan after the US triggered NATO Article 5 following 9/11. Not to mention Iraq.

old Soviet joke for our times: Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to. Guy says: “looking for an obituary.” Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.” Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

Its officially pokemon day here in the UK! Please accept my magnum opus of pokemon related art to celebrate 🤗 (and also because ive never shared this one here before) #pokemon #art #digitalart #snom #pokemonday #pokemonswsh #procreateartists

Oh my god, that’s horrifying.

Oh you're kidding. The validation there wasn't to do with the validation of the error message. It was to do with the DNS setup for the SMTP setup. I'm gonna fucking scream.

Please stop with the generative AI. It's garbage, theft, making us less capable. Image by www.nobodyssweetheart.com

Just know that if your service gives me this error message, I will personally make it my mission to avoid using it at all costs

happy first birthday to Bluesky, and what a year it's been! with every day, the need for an open network that puts people first becomes increasingly clear. we're glad to be building this with you. after all, the heart of a social network is the people.

Just know that if I ever say I’ve found something I hate more than enterprise Windows images, I am a broken man who has truly lost the will to exist.

One of the weirdest bits about starting a new job is having more time on the train, and filling it with actually being productive?

Not me preparing to rewrite the entire backend to my application. No idea what you mean

Today’s example of poor systems design is the post office self service that will let you scan, select, and fill out all the paperwork for you to send letters abroad, but the staff member has to tell you that you can’t do international mail from the machine.

Spent my weekend on this, hadn't done any game dev work in like a year, and pretty happy with how far we got! Shoutout @paxlefay.com as they once again killed it with art assets and many a game building/design/programming trick

currently working on a #microjam entry with @qgdev.co.uk I swear I'm good at 3d art please i beg

The fantastic game jam @ludumdare.com is sadly not running any events in 2025 as host Mike Kasprzak is struggling financially. While Mike isn't specifically asking for donations, he does have a Patreon which helps cover the jam's expenses. Perhaps we can help? www.patreon.com/c/mikekasprz...

Misplaced glasses? Check. Cancelled trains? Check. Run out of coffee? Check. HAPPY WEDNESDAY!

Nailed it

"bypassing traditional milestones" is a funny way of saying that most of us can't afford to buy a house with multiple jobs, won't have children because we can't afford them, most of our degrees are useless, and we are the poorest generation among all current living generations

Good start to my new year return to office as I leave my glasses on my bedside table

I wrote a thing again qgdev.co.uk?blog=2024-in...

It seems like @smollnikki.bsky.social and I have discovered a new hobby of watching luxury home tours on YouTube and finding it hilarious that money can’t buy taste. Some of these homes are truly hideous

I forgot to share the fruits of my labour yesterday. Absolutely love Christmas food.

After all, there’s only one more sleep ‘til Christmas

So for Christmas I've gotten a gorgeous bottle of scotch, we bought mulled cider, several different wines, and even a bottle of pre-mix salted caramel espresso martini. I now also am on antibiotics, so can't drink any of them. FALALALAAAAA LA LA FUCK THIS

Holy fuck this just unlocked an ancient memory

I have a few wishes for 2025. My biggest one is that I just want things to be quiet. Just uneventful. Big load of nothing.
