is it just me or...

I may be somewhat biased, but our next update just went live and it's imo just super impressive. massive lakes and waterfalls of fully simulated water + that looks/sounds super good + that is mechanically significant. I mean _I'm_ impressed www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KEY...

I keep having apocalypse dreams is that good?

And if you’re like “I’m a game dev & I don’t see how a narrative person who is also a historian is helpful for me and my non-historical game” Then you can read my design diary about some of the work I’ve done for Amberspire (which has a fantasy sci-fi setting) lunardivision.net/micro-and-ma...

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going! Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists. We made it easy at boycottspotify.com.

Chinese astronauts become the first to grill wings in space, paving the way for future uncstronauts

SHOCKED I tell you. truly NOONE could have seen this coming _again_

this was an infuriating watch. I really hate everything about this. but at the same time it is a v good video and I respect the commitment to the bit

this might be one of the best videos i’ve seen all year and also one of the most terrifying things i’ve ever witnessed in my entire life

I have had a small monthly donation to wikipedia set up for a few years and it is absolutely worth it. if you could afford £13/mo on spotify, you can probably afford a few quid on one of the biggest freely accessible knowledge bases available.

Congrats to the BDS. FREE PALESTINE.

what better time than now to set up a vanilla minecraft server for me and my partner

wahey, just learned the pet insurance we got for oreo denied every single one of our claims - every emergency visit, and procedure. but ofc not before demanding every single document in existence with his name on it and wasting our time. actual fucking slime people.

Meanwhile, in Nepal: the government tries to ban social media to suppress youth-led protests, backfires into officials being attacked and houses burned, and to avert a military coup a 73-year-old chief justice is elected Nepal's first female PM... VIA DISCORD www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Gonna write some brief troll mitigation tips for you all because like any successful, happy woman on the internet, i’ve had ‘em Tips break down into two main areas: 1. Defensive tactics: how not to make it easy for them 2. Offensive tactics: fuck ‘em up 🧵:

I have debated whether or not to post about this but I figured it was important. two days ago, my partner and I had to say goodbye to our little guy, Oreo. he was about 10 years old and was found on the street by my partner as a kitten, and was incredibly important to both of us.

ever seen a more infuriating a tag? bro I'm just trying to see whats on at the movies, why are you complicating this for me

finally set up an rss reader again :)

its bandcamp friday :)))))))

there's a certain kind of grief that comes from seeing a totally achievable project you wanted to build years prior, even started, but failed to follow through due to burnout, then be made by someone else to positive reception

god virgin media is such a shit ass company. I knew they were going to be bad but my god, we've had constant problems for the last few months and the advice they give us is always "have you tried restarting the router :)"

we went out of our way to buy real life physical cds today 😊 a first in my adult life (excluding band merch ofc :^) )

one little v nice quality of life thing I've noticed since ditching spotify for jellyfin + a locally hosted music library: jellyfins volume slider is ACTUALLY NON-LINEAR! when I move it to 50%, it actually sounds 50% as loud and isn't just a naive 0.5x gain.

The FUCK AI talk I gave at @amazefest.bsky.social is now available for everyone to see. In this talk I explain in layman's terms how the so-called AI actually works so that you can draw your own conclusions. Spoiler: it's dumber than you think. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqP-...

WATER is coming to Enshrouded in all its beautifully simulated liquid form! Check out the teaser we dropped at gamescom Opening Night live. youtu.be/vBAnTKGioq4?...

Hello! I've been one of the lucky few on the BIA these last few years, and in light of the uncertainty of its future and potential for public support, I decided to write out this comic with the help of BIA compatriot @ianfay.bsky.social to share our stories. 1/3 ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/run...

mozilla fucking stop challenge 2025

still rattled by the sheer giddy glee with which some queers are coming for itch.io, one of the largest collections of queer games in existence. i know it's scary to accept, but we do actually have good things worth defending. we have things it would damage us to lose

how do you cope with the endless feed of bad news and things demanding your attention/action? there is so much all the time that it makes me feel like a deer in headlights every time I open bsky

It's finally here! I'm pleased to share GP-Direct 2025, the latest edition of the graphics programming discord showcase! No engine? No problem. We wrote our own! Thank you to all the talented people who participated! youtu.be/e9qK6EtqB-Q?... #indiegamedev #graphicsprogramming

Stacey has what is to me the definitive analysis of all this discourse on games and art:

cancelled my netflix and spotify subs. got jellyfin on my home network + a vpn so I can use it while out an about + have downloaded my entire bandcamp catalog to my nas. entering my selfhosted, "fuck you I'm not going to fund your yacht/deathbot company" era.

Goes without saying, it is absolutely fucking obscene that Mouthwashing - arguably one of our better examples of video games as a serious storytelling art form in recent years - has been removed from itchio due to pressure from pay processing services and weirdo activism.

finally some good fucking news
