reading moomin

every year I think about writing a personal recap, and this time I actually did it 😊 here's what I read, watched, made, and how life changed for the better so I can remember the good that snuck in this year

If you don't want to pay expensive software engineers, you simply convince them to train themselves out of a job and fire them when the bubble bursts

Easy way to explain it

I wrote how I like our NAS blendogames.com/news/post/20... (or: wow this is great why didn't anyone tell me about this earlier)

Larian seem to have a real weird way of following up the game that sold seventy billion copies largely on the backs of its extensive use of real actors, personal touches, and general humanity :/

i finished a game for 7dfps jam! objelisks.itch.io/scanlines just a little explore-em-up, scan the guys, forestlike

As much as I love buff badass lesbian Samus, I also really love the version of her from that one Super Metroid gag manga where she's this weirdo obsessed with round objects and hiding in small spaces

new meme format drop

i think more games should have formal rules for ensnaring a muse misogynistically and using her to power your dark magic

pals you gotta quit spotify

good day to remember the Arcane Kids Manifesto

do stuff badly stop living in a jail of only doing stuff you do well draw badly write badly code badly sport badly only way to get good at more things is by doing them through being bad at them if you enjoy it keep doing it badly even if you don't get good unless it's a job good isn't the point

it's been 12 business years since I was a practicing web developer but this doesn't stop me from giving @objelisks.space advice on how to build a website css grid? do you mean a complicated series of divs and floats?

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

Server Charms are tiny, portable microcontroller setups made with recycled vape batteries. They create their own Wi-Fi network, inviting curious people to connect with their devices where a captive portal opens, leading to small webpages. codeberg.org/actinomy/ser...

ok, how about this: I need a job - I do all sorts of various things, but the reason you want to hire me is that I've worked in games for ~15 years as an engine developer, a designer, an audio programmer, and a interaction prototyper. I've got a portfolio at jonathanbrodsky.com

ideal social media is you see your friends posting about the fermented cabbage they ate today or the art or music they made and youre like thats so cool. an update on the lives of my friends and their gay little hobbies. and you decide to do your gay little hobbies in response

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy: www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

My main food group is being threatened by deregulation. We must stop fascism.

We keep each other safe. If you see ICE or if you know someone who’s been detained, call the PIRC hotline: 1-888-622-1510. Make sure you’re using the CLEAR model (Count, Location, Equipment, Activity, and Report Time) when you call.

The Sun Festival in Oda! This tableau was created for @dimension20.bsky.social by me (cait may), @domirine.bsky.social @galacticjonah.bsky.social and Simon Roy! What an absolute joy - there are so many good moments throughout, grab your opera glasses and take a look! #CloudwardHo #Dimension20

Telemelt 2 is a networked multi-system browser emulator designed to recreate the experience of playing console games with a single controller in a room full of friends. We worked hard to make the shared experience we wanted to use.

What's your secret to being online all the time without contracting computer madness? For me it's being pure of heart

this is ridiculous

I hope one thing leftists all take away from Mamdani’s campaign though is that it doesn’t matter how chill and wholesome you are, the dinguses are going to smear and trash you in increasingly unhinged ways anyway, so you might as well shoot for the moon and campaign on what makes your heart sing

Artificial intelligence

regina spektor's smarmy "this isn't an internet comment section" response to protestors at her show is infuriating. pro palestinian, anti-genocide speech online is written off by these ghouls as "not representative of the real world", material protest is never "the right time"

A stranger asked me why I’m in a mask. He sounded curious instead of condescending, so I answered, “It’s part of my antifascist practice.” He wanted to know more, seemed excited about the local mask bloc, took the n95 I offered, & wore it into the shop I’d just left. Don’t stop educating folks.

What with all the steam news, I’m just gonna drop this here and remind people there are in fact alternatives to the platforms we currently use that are truly creator owned and operated.

Apple is delisting Wheels of Aurelia from the App Store, because it's... "obsolete". Our statement:
