My first ever silk flowers! Hand painted with silk paints and acrylics. They’ll be hats someday, either solo or with some trim.

The billionaires can buy the newspapers and buy social media and buy attack ads, but they can't buy their way out of how much we fucking hate all of them.

hire all the fired political teen vogue writers and make a new magazine call teen rogue. we’ll all subscribe en masse

All those awesome journalists who’ve been laid off, they just want to work. They LIKE doing journalism, and they do it well. All those game developers who’ve been laid off, same thing. They’re good at what they do. I don’t get late stage capitalism & why all those good folks aren’t just working.

This person is my hero. Love seeing an actual SPINE - I want to quite literally everything she said here.

Having a bunch of my friends retire while I’m still debating career choices is certainly interesting. 🧐

A little something to take the edge off as you head into the weekend @erinbiba.bsky.social

here's my take: I think humans are really fucking good. inherently. I think we are amazingly kind and giving. and everything about the world we live in is an attempt to stop us from being that. I think our societies step in to stop us from being good. I think our culture punishes us. but we ARE good

Narrator: AI didn't significantly cut operating costs

While I’m at it: You guys know what to do!! youtu.be/jPCJIB1f7jk?...

I don’t really do 2D art, especially not watercolor! I do love painting 3D stuff and I want to do some silk painting so I thought I’d practice.

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

Someone needs a nap. Unfortunately it’s not me, I’ve had coffee and need to rebuild the PC I brought in my carryon. Customs was fun…I didn’t realize people didn’t know what a computer case is and that you can buy antistatic bags and fragile stickers. No, they’re not new, yes they’re computer parts.

It’s been radio silence here because we have moved to Mexico. It was an enormous amount of work, but worth it on SO many levels.

Ohhh yeah it’s a butter chicken guy day! 😁

Three days before game release and I found a bug that means I have to rewrite the core code for all the quests. While packing for a major move. Fun times!

im getting really tired of everything being bad bc like 12 ppl can't fill the hole in their hearts despite being billionaires

Goddamn. What a sobering and poignant piece of conceptual art. What an amazing artist.

This made my day, and made my cats quite concerned at the wheezing laughter that it evoked.

Any Asian shaved ice with fruit dish is one of the most perfect foods. Bingsu my beloved.

TV and movie feature request: Make the soundtrack and music separate volume controls.

What me, being quiet? Yep, just working a bunch - I have a game dropping August 14 and am working up a pitch for the next one! You know you want to be a silly little goblin in a swamp…

The truly wonderful thing to me about Kpop Demon Hunters is that someone gave a woman all the money to make something straight from her heart, and it shows. I want to see the games industry do more of this. Maybe we'd get out of the rut we currently seem to be in with the AAA Ouroboros of Death.

important life hack for video games

A reviewer played the Kingdom Flipper demo for over and hour and said, 'Has the potential to be the next best thing of the genre'. Omgggg sometimes being a game dev is the best thing ever. #indiedev #solodev #gamereview

I made a ridiculous costume to wear to a SuperM concert. Taemin 100% stared at it for a few seconds, and his next music video featured feathered shoulders.

But some of yall said waaaay back when Ava Duvernay's 13th Amendment documentary came out that likening slave catchers to the modern day prison system was a reach

AI is the U2 album of tech

Powerful & problematic folks openpsychometrics.org/tests/charac...

I may be a bit enthusiastic about working on my new game. I generally have trouble getting to sleep, and last night I was bribing my brain with: “If you go to sleep, when you wake up you can go to work!”

My new game has a very pretty glowing nighttime: m.youtube.com/watch?v=ldFw...

Another look at the upcoming Goblin Gourmet! The nighttime views always bring a smile to my face, if only I could climb into the screen and live there... #goblincore #gamedev #mushrooms

Techbros think GenAI / LLMs will take over all the jobs because it can take over theirs, and they do not have the empathy or breadth of experience to understand other work. Also the only money is AI is a protection racket: I will pay good money to NOT have AI in my software!

Ooo pop-punk! That’s a nice intersection of music for me.

I think the budget should include enough for education that schools can have band, home ec, mechanics, and woodshop.

My new game has a very pretty glowing nighttime: m.youtube.com/watch?v=ldFw...

Today I made containers of containers show and save their contents. As a reward I got to make a cockroach butt glow and blink so I can call it a firefly.

This. Is. Glorious. Do yourself a favor and listen - it’s amazing.

#MacroMonday Sunflower Bee wakes up in eastern Colorado.

I saw a version of this on here before but it's worth yelling: these institutions that Musk is illegally dismantling– the weather service, health system, climate & energy research, international aid, maybe the US mail(?)– they don't belong to him, they belong to us. We invested in them. They're ours

if the united states ever has even a hope of recovering we have to destroy the idea of american individualism. "they don't owe you anything" we owe each other everything actually

So yes, I have a game coming out in late June, but I’m already at work on the next one! Look at how pretty the mushrooms are as they slowly change color throughout the night: youtu.be/zihPBXUdmK8

These are the senators who collaborated with the GOP. Schumer Fetterman Cortez Masto Durbin King Shaheen Gillibrand Schatz Hassan Peters Don’t let them forget it. No peace for them.

Nothing like waking up from a post-apocalyptic dream saying, “Well, at least you didn’t crater Paris Baguette.” Dear brain - why??

I want to talk about my move from Substack to Ghost for a second, and what it's been like working with a nonprofit tech company that actually lives its values. Especially if you're a writer still on Subtack, please read. 1/x First of all, about the org: They are a nonprofit, I just met employee +
