You might not know this, but if you need a replacement naturalisation certificate, it will cost you $500 and take anywhere from 4-8 months.

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

Maybe it's just because I'm from non-America and then lived the majority of my life in America, but I found this really fascinating: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oQF...

The Puritans & Capitalism Sale for Iron Village started yesterday, but rather fittingly I was sick and had a fever for the past two days... Anyway, you can go buy it for 30% off on Steam or Itch! #IronVillage #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiedev #pixelart #townbuilder #citybuilder

Attention Indie Devs! I just need 15 seconds ... of your game footage! A lot of people jumped on the 15s video trend, so I thought it would be cool to make a compilation to help indies get some visibility. The anti-spam key is "kook". lonewulfstudio.com/indieshowcas...

Love to see the supposed "socialist" party coming up with new examples of newspeak.

Anybody wants to hire me to make an isometric pixel art gothic tactical stealth rpg?? Or hire me as a pixel artist in general. #pixelart

Part of what was going to make the whole "do game dev full time" thing (potentially) work was, you know, those ACA subsidies kicking in down the road. Fury doesn't even begin to describe how I'm feeling right now.

We're looking for event volunteers for this year's BostonFIG! Connect with game industry professionals, game design students, and fellow game fans while helping out.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death. Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written." Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating. 🧪🧬🧫

That's a thing that I really worry about - if we win in 2028, and just do another Biden, we are even more fucked. (Ideally we'd overthrow them beforehand, but apparently that's asking too much.) The state of this country was way more depressing around 2021-2 than during Trump I, imo, because of that

I finally got over my self doubt and did it - Lunar Chippy Games has a Patreon! patreon.com/LunarChippy?... If you feel like throwing extra money over, you'll get access to pics of the game in development, in addition to our deep gratitude! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #patreon

NEWS — The Oregon Department of Human Services has issued 100% of November SNAP benefits, per an alert on their website. I've received reports that the funds have already hit recipients' EBT accounts. www.oregon.gov/odhs/news/Pa...

If (when) they delay again, I'm really tempted to put my next game's release on the same day.

In Mexico, I asked Lewis Hamilton about what pet ownership taught him about himself. A simple question... but one with a LOT of baggage in the #F1 paddock. This is your sign to ask your questions, no matter what others think. open.substack.com/pub/deadlypa...

It turns out FIFA is actually a global corruption innovation lab, they just run soccer/football on the side.

Can we at least give Canada a break on the tariffs now?

Bluesky has very clearly decided to go on the tech bro side of the tech bro/tech nerd divide

All the people with taste are broke, all the people who lack taste have the money, and making anything requires bridging the two in the dumbest ways possible.

"I DON'T NEED YOU TO FUCKING REWRITE WHAT I'VE JUST WRITTEN!"

A new dev diary, this time about a concept I made up (that probably already exists): Semi-Automation! lunarchippy.games/2025/10/27/d... Also, the biggest teaser of project OY yet! #IronVillage #ProjectOY #devdiary #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #townbuilder #citybuilder

the week starts now where your usual time offset between US* and other countries that do DST will be off by an hour, because countries that participate don't even change on the same dates *except most of Arizona, Hawaii, US territories but for half the year they'll be shifted if your place does DST

"I asked ChatGPT" "I asked Grok" ok well I asked Gandalf and he said he has not passed through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a witless worm

Things in Massachusetts are not as bad as they are in Chicago, but ICE is in our communities. The stories you see on the news don't accurately reflect the daily terror ICE is inflicting on immigrants. Please consider donating to or volunteering with LUCE. Also, save their number: 617-370-5023

Ooof, too real. I probably would've talked myself into selling Iron Village for $5 if it weren't for my partner talking me out of it. $8 was more or less a compromise.

Solo devs and very small teams often have this inherent cringe about the idea of making people pay $20 or $10 or even $5 for their little game and I can't emphasize enough how much you have to grab that cringing impulse within yourself and strangle it to death

free line for democrats to use on the white house shit: donald trump has done what the flight 93 hijackers couldn’t

BY THE WAY If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2. There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security. Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation." TURN IT OFF.

Did a new one

If you're in Mass and haven't added the LUCE hotline to your phone yet in case you see ICE, take two seconds and add it right now. It's staffed 5am-9pm every day in multiple languages. 617-370-5023

Surprise, another update has landed! Mainly just for Android compliance reasons (16kb memory page sizes), but there's a few bug fixes for everyone! Release Notes: lunarchippy.games/2025/10/17/d... #IronVillage #townbuilder #citybuilder #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #godot #android

This Tumblr user summarizes something I've been feeling/doing lately. Against everything going on, it somehow feels helpful.

Because when you burn down a house and nobody ever rebuilds it, someone is still forced to live in the ashes

Our plane to Spain is in the air! 🙌🙌 Thank you so much to the countless people supporting us in every way and in particular all of the Rutgers students and faculty who have supported us every step of the way.

Not going to lie, this one hits pretty fucking hard right now, just horrifying

An outspoken antifascist US-born citizen was stopped from leaving the US. This should terrify you. (BTW, this is not to imply this is ok for non-citizens or naturalized citizens.)

"anti-AI people should just learn more about it" motherfucker I know so much about it, that's why I'm anti-AI

When your custom character appears in a cut scene

It's a wild defense on their part, because I can't imagine a stronger argument for halting their industry immediately. "we might've made a new conscious thing" is a thought that can only be followed with "we can't let companies create and exploit these"
