Acquired when they purchased Activision, Microsoft have recently open sourced the venerable Zork game series under the MIT license. Full source-code for Zork 1,2 and 3 is now available on GitHub. gamefromscratch.com/microsoft-op... #gamedev #indiedev #opensource

Ouch. That's a hard way to lose a perfect rating. #gamedev www.pcgamer.com/games/roguel...

Overall read of things: Not looking great that we'll see the northern lights in Colorado tonight, but it's worth a shot. Go east to avoid the cloud cover. Appreciate any photos if you see it. Please send any AI aurora-glowing patio furniture pictures to @kylec.bsky.social #COwx

turns out the emails we should have been reading in 2016 were from the NYT

Aurora borealis in Denver. Quite the light show tonight. #cowx

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

New York millionaires: threatening to flee the city since 2009

For some reason the media is not mentioning that the reason GTA6 is being delayed is they fired 40 staff over threats of unionization and now the rest of their staff are revolting

Don’t know if anyone from HumbleBundle is on here, but if the #gamedev assets you’re selling don’t 100% all say “Unity”, it’s a no-buy for me. I assume the Unreal people feel the same way in the opposite direction.

I feel called out on my one-man dev team. 😳 www.gamedeveloper.com/production/h...

I don’t think there is a republican dog catcher left in office. Total sweep.

Pitching your game to print media? Here’s a thread full of tips! Always send screenshots in PNG format. JPEG compression blurs sharp edges and creates ugly artefacts that look even worse once printed at 300 DPI. Where possible, submit your screenshots at 4K resolution. Or native res for pixel art.

On October 30, 2025, in Chicago, Illinois, ICE GOONS Backs into a U.S. citizen’s car and subsequently arrests her for documenting their actions.

600,000 Coloradans are about to lose SNAP food benefits. 300,000 of them are children. @marshallglasses.bsky.social reports on Colorado's poorest county preparing to hand out MREs.

Silence is compliance. Very disappointing Microsoft, even for you.

My Halloween costume last night! Believe it or not, it’s just me.

My art has gotten so much tastier looking this year #pixelart

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

As promised the #gameassets pages on my website will now start featuring YOUR games! ✨ If your game is on Steam and uses a specific asset pack of mine, simply reply and I'll get it added (make sure you have a pretty capsule image plsplsplspls) Example: kenney.nl/assets/platf...

Could be a good plan for indie gamedevs too!

If the Broomfield No King’s protest is any indication, it’s going to be massive today. I’m guessing there are at least a thousand people, which is insane for a relatively small town.

Lol that the London No Kings event is called No Tyrants because…you know… www.nokings.org#map

"New Far Side comics" was definitely not on my bingo card for this week. They're not bad! www.thefarside.com/new-stuff/

Surprised he died relatively young. Also surprised he lived that long. ☹️

Fetterman and MTG seem to have a creepy Freaky Friday situation going on...

She gets all the flowers. I mean ALL of them. If we see her, we immediately have to give her flowers.

Making a settings menu and got an idea:

Watched the British Transport authority explain to this man that his white phone that he dropped by the tracks is gone, and there was no way possible to get it back. It was an ex-phone. It literally took this whole group to explain it to him.

"She said to me after that - Samantha, 21 years old - all my life I've prepared for this moment. All my life, my mom, 53 years old, who was just going to get meat for a stew, has told me one day this could come." @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social talks ICE with @timmiller.bsky.social on The Bulwark Pod

Do better Apple.

Unity has their own beer? 🤣 #gamedev

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

🚨🚨 My dear friend and fellow academic, the Palestinian American sociologist @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social has been taken by the Cook County Sheriff near Chicago. They have not mirandized her. Please signal boost. All eyes on Broadview for Eman and the community she was defending 🚨🚨

I love how all the predictions about the Generals meeting purpose were war preparations and doom. We’ve normalized this craziness so much, we incorrectly ruled out the most obvious reason - stupidity.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

A new game trailer making podcast is coming soon via the Bins & Bytes group organized by Philip Roberts of Crytek! I'm 1 of 6 in the first episodes sharing anecdotes and insights from our perspectives working independently, internally at studios, or at agencies. www.youtube.com/@BinsAndByte...

Since Nintendo is so litigious that they sue anyone for every little transgression against their IP, and they are not suing ICE, I can only conclude Nintendo supports this use of their IP. www.reddit.com/r/technology...

The Pokémon Company's former chief legal officer has said he would not take action over an official Department of Homeland Security video that features footage of people being handcuffed and arrested set to the Pokémon theme tune — despite calls from fans for the corporation to sue.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Jeffries: The government is scheduled to shut down on October 1st. The House was scheduled to vote and be present in Washington, D.C. on Monday, September 29th, and Tuesday, September 30th, in advance of the possible shutdown. And Mike Johnson has said, stay at home. That’s ridiculous.

Speaking of Disney, you really should watch Knights of Guinevere! Free on YT, and great story. Can’t wait to see more! youtu.be/MCAdbUaMlAE?...

So… rapture is Tuesday, and everyone goes up into the sky. What happens if you’re in Australia?

MakeRoom didn't get Steam Deck verified because I say "click" in the tutorial and they argue clicking is something you do with a mouse. I mean, I agree, but it's still such a silly thing to not get verified 😅 Fixing it now and resubmitting!

ICE continues to assault us. We are peacefully protesting. They are kidnapping and hurting us.
