imagine an entire platform solely for stuff that necessarily nobody wanted to put any work into at all and didn't care about the details of or put any of their personal touch and own experience into, truly an abyss just waiting to gaze back and corrupt your mind, love it no notes amazing work people

Is KNI just #Monogame but with web support? If I'm pushing to primarily PC, what's the reason to use it?

I think it's easier to make games without a cs education because I've been fixated on trying to optimize this problem that it is very fine to just be in linear time because even 26 comparisons is basically nothing, but my brain is stuck going "but there's got to be a good hashing solution for this!"

I am glad to live in a place where people do not understand the consequences of violence. I wish people that did not understand those consequences would stop calling for it.

Purgatory Dungeoneer is good. If you like JRPG combat, you absolutely should play it. Blocking actually does something! It's a little dense, but still a strong recommendation from me.

I know it's a bad decision but at some point in time I need you to stop being surprised that the company that scouted people for their blockchain expertise, founded by big money tech capital, in an effort to create a less moderated twitter, is making bad decisions.

Much of the GenAI conversation is with and about people who have no concept of theories of knowledge and if they took even one basic philosophy course for credit they would almost immediately understand the problems with trying to get the computer to "know" things. The computer can't know things!

This is your reminder that according to the data from 2023 WotC makes an average of $8/player, with a minimum CoA of $80, which means the average player is ad spend. On basically every non-MBAmetric, #MagicTheGathering is failing, and that's why they're seeking additional revenue through UB

In order to 100% HM64, you have to make an economically poor decision and I love that.

hey folks I have bad fingers ("computer hands" is the official diagnosis) so I get retyping is blah but if you're posting a screenshot you took of an article paragraph or tweet or such why not copy that text from there and paste it in alt for search/mute/screen readers, instead of alt text "a tweet"

often if you confront right wing gaslighting i.e. "ck was a brave truth teller" with no mention of which bigoted "truths" they agree with they go into a performance of total stupidity where they want you to sit there and perfectly educate them on all relevant context that's when, you can fuck off

Violating my "no Bluesky during football season" tenets to parachute in and say that my weird obsession with far right splinter groups and their shibboleths has finally made me the expert on something. The shooter wrote 4 shitpost memes on bullets and every single one of them is a dumb groyper meme

reposting with alt text because this feels incredibly significant. the right-wing disinfo machine means a lot of the people grieving Charlie Kirk never heard any of the things he said that would have tarnished his brand as Guy Who Just Wants to Have Dialogue Across the Aisle

I do not like it when my research for a project leads me to research papers.

Is there a data driven #MagicTheGathering thesaurus project anywhere? Getting back into it and getting ready to write code and I'd like to avoid duplicate work if possible.

WotC: spends the last decade trying to normalize the secondary market. People: WotC is going to use their new control to push broken mythics so they can sell more product! Folks, there's already more mythics for sale than people want to buy, there's nothing they could do to make them more chase.

Mad about flat tech trees.

I suppose technically a higher percentage of things will be "made in america" if many things we used to have access to which were made elsewhere or out of materials and parts from elsewhere simply stop being available to us at all. little house on the prairie economy, trading beaver pelts for knives

Watching people confuse Software Engineering with Programming is frustrating.

After years of harping on people about how the words we use matter, the monkey's paw curls and people suddenly are talking about how words matter.

Playing around with music and sfx for a smol side project and... What do people use to actually make music? I haven't actually made music since the 2000s where I got a totally-100%-legitimate copy of FL Studio 😅. Is there a good open source option? Should I get another definitely-legit copy of FL?

Someone told me that silksong wasn't going to be a huge influential thing, and it crashed steam today. Okay lol.

40% of Republicans think the COVID vaccine killed more people than the COVID virus. One in four believe that QAnon is real. No matter how far they radicalize, we are told over and over again that the people being rude to them are the problem.

Maple’s to-do list: snack, pose, repeat

Fuck Cameron. VFX artists are already underpaid and overworked. The nr 1 thing to reduce costs would be to figure out your film and vision beforehand, and sticking to it.

We were going to do another big marketing stunt for THE TOXIC AVENGER UNRATED. Instead, Toxie, whose life was upended by crushing medical bills, has joined forces with Undue Medical Debt to erase at least $5 million in un-payable medical debt for those who need it most. Learn more:

The tribulations of being a now middle aged millennial; you've seen it all, but nobody is willing to believe you.

Wait until these motherfuckers hear about lobsters.

"The question of whether machines can think... is about as relevant as the question of whether submarines can swim." -Edsger Dijkstra 40 years ago what we know does suffer but most people perpetuate suffering of at scale by their lifestyle: animals. also? a lot of people. tamagotchis will be fine

“You are acting weird.” First of all, I’m not acting.

A battletoads hoverboard sequence followed by a teleporter puzzle? T_T

I can sense from the Itch drama that a lot of people weighing in have never been on the receiving in of an online shit storm and I'm curious how well _they_ would manage being beleaguered from all sides while also keeping a platform afloat.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have revealed a synthetic glycosystem -a sugar-coated polymer nanoparticle- that can BLOCK SARS-CoV-2 from infecting human cells, REDUCING infection rates by NEARLY 99%. Acting as a decoy, the molecule BINDS to the spike protein, PREVENTING it from attaching to real cells.

Good news! I've migrated my Godot addons to Codeberg: codeberg.org/MajorMcDoom/... #gamedev #indiedev #GodotEngine

Does anyone have desk recommendations? #HomeOffice

The limited pool grows stronger.

SEEKING: Web designer in Vancouver area to redesign website for local game event. We're volunteer-run, so budget is chibi and we're hoping to work with someone who is as into supporting the local gaming community as we are. Maybe a longshot, but canthurt.gif, right? 🤗

Damn you mean itch didn’t actually just abandon these creators but has been working hard with its limited resources to figure out how to continue supporting them? How surprising

I need someone to attempt science for me. Since Mario Paint on Nintendo Switch Online has USB mouse support, can you use a drawing tablet in Mario Paint?

I am fortunate for the opportunities to mentor young people. I need to remind myself that being stupid is part of the process.

So many US outlets do this, and it's bewildering. You either; - do not understand what tariffs are - do not understand what tourism is - too chickenshit to talk about what ICE / the Trump Admin is
