God: *creating Eve from Adam's rib* Adam: That's a weird way to make people God: Lol wait till you see how she does it

Here's the serious bit for anyone who'd rather skip the 4000 words of jokes

Hey! If you’re an indie dev with a demo in June’s Next Fest (or appearing in a showcase soon), show me whatcha got! Looking to play through a bunch before SGF 🫶

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

Happy May Day! I've finally finished up the April 2026 Project OY Update on Patreon, let's pretend the delay was totally intentional... www.patreon.com/posts/april-... (Oh, and this one's free!) #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #pixelart #trains #devdiary

"But that would be economically ruinous" Yeah, most wars are.

dudes rock

indie game marketing is untenable right now, bro allegedly took a shot at the president and it got him 22 concurrents

There is a direct throughline from this and the rise in global authoritarianism. Authoritarianism is actively hostile toward the arts and intellectualism, and thus imagination. When people say that AI is a “fascist project,” this is explicitly what they’re referring to.

I feel like if you mention a nationwide anything you should also mention which nation.

USA: Time to review UK sovereignty over the Falklands UK: Guess it's time to review US sovereignty over Hawaii, which the US forcibly annexed in 1898.

“The right wing is on the decline. People are realizing that they have no vision or solutions, just hatred and empty slogans. All they’ve brought to the world is war, inflation, inequality, and social division.”

At first glance, I wasn't sure which side of the Atlantic it was talking about 🙃

They’re so desperate to post the 10 Commandments everywhere and yet somehow, even more desperate to violate them.

Lol

Love how we had this series of extremely contentious and contemptuous interactions with this website's higher ups where they pretty much told us to our face "Yeah we're using Al to code, you fucking peasant. Deal with it." immediately followed by a good month of very frequent outages on the website.

Big corps right now are kicking everyone who built the palace out even though it was their home, keeping the palace for themselves because of the mere fact the string of the purse is tied to their belt. Yet they expect workers to be passionate, be family and feel ownership of the palace they build.

I have to say, the thing that makes me doomscroll, get depressed, and realize I need to log off of social media usually isn't the fascists - it's the piss poor excuse of our "leadership". The Democrats, our Western "allies", they're (mostly) just useless.

Chuck Schumer is also going to have to be tried and sentenced at whatever American Nuremberg trial we have btw

so AI is supposed to revolutionize every single aspect of the reality as we know it, but it's something we shouldn't rely on for anything serious or important cause it's so fucking unreliable, do I get that right my dude ?

Yet again, Bluesky showing they *really* don't like the user base they ended up with, and are acting as if they had a completely different core of users.

Absolutely fucking not

It’s a brilliant scam. They can make themselves believe in it. They get themselves into a quasi-delusional state (or fully). and then so much investment money flows in. It’s a natural for a kind of religious fervor (though the talk will seem like the dumb version of a good Twilight Zone episode)

My Wario Ware-like game about early child care is turning a year old tomorrow!!!

Hard to believe Iron Village has been out for a whole year! To celebrate, the 1.3 update is now out, including a couple of bugfixes, a new train, and placeable growable trees! lunarchippy.games/2026/03/24/d... for full release notes. #gamedev #indiegamedev #citybuilder #pixelart

My partner pointed out that the rat in Ratatouille was lucky he wanted to do a profession where you wear big hats. This leads to the inevitable concept of Ratatouille 7: Rat Pope.

There was ONE ATC in the tower at LGA during last night's crash. ONE ATC, at LGA!, dealing w ALL air and ground traffic, including a plane filling w a strange smell and no gate to return to. The Pentagon wants $200B for a vanity war, but our ATC towers are empty. Budgets are moral documents.

It does show a grim lack of imagination that nobody's* suggested just getting rid of TSA or scaling it way back. *Nobody with any tiny bit of power anyway

This is misleading. Here's how much the MA Millionaire Tax raised vs the most generous possible assumption of how much combined revenue was lost from millionaire movers.

Quick Iron Village Update: 1. It's 35% off for the Steam Spring Sale! And on Itch! And for the first time, 30% off on Google Play! 2. I finished up the dev diary series on games I played last year: lunarchippy.games/2026/03/20/d... #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #devdiary #citybuilder #pixelart

what if - & i know its a wild thought - we stood on our own values, not theirs www.liberalcurrents.com/we-need-to-g...

Ex: Delia Ramirez (who’s Methodist) and Daniel Biss (who’s Jewish) both took money from J-Street employees and neither took money from AIPAC. Guess which one gets the red background with flames and a black & white photo, and which gets the green background with normal colors.

So apparently the demo for Iron Village on Android has been broken for a bit (sorry about that, oversight in QA), so I uploaded a new build to Google Play yesterday... and it's been rejected because the old version is broken. Well, yeah. That's what you're preventing me from fixing. 🙃

I was going to jump on the DLSS 5 joke train for Iron Village, but @404media.co already covered it: www.404media.co/chub-ai-char...

ME: oh a little Zohran video for St Patrick's Day, probably just celebrating Irish culture, maybe a few green beer jokes ZOHRAN (2 minutes in): ...and that's why King Leopold I of Belgium is a big wet bitch. Furthermore...

Lol, occasionally the old Google shows up, this time (correctly) marking its own Gemini advertisement as spam.

oh great I just saw what you're talking about, this is literally hardware accelerated yassification This is the type of shit those gamergate 2 people were doing but on a fucking hardware level ARE WE SERIOUS

Why do all the people in charge of everything have to be *the worst*?

🤯 ”When estrogen fluctuates wildly postpartum or during perimenopause, ADHD symptoms often get dramatically worse. Studies show that up to 70% of women report a significant worsening of ADHD symptoms during perimenopause, yet almost none of them were told this would happen” #ADHD #AuDHD
