hello fellow artists. google has fallen. pinterest/duckduckgo AI filters don't work. do not despair; here is a list i made of places to find reference images without having to sift through piles of worthless garbage: doodlemancy.dreamwidth.org/20757.html 🚯 #NoAI #HumanArtists #ArtistsOnBluesky

I may have accidentally made my Unfair Flips Clone/Coin Flip Game a social commentary on Sports Gambling. What have I done?

This is real "you can't uninstall IE or else file explorer won't work" energy.

I just discovered for the first time that the Pi 500(+) can only be powered by a charger that is 5v/5a, which is a problem because even my usb charger that can do up to 65 watts can't power it cause, like a sane company, Anker built it to run at usb spec which means 5v/3a.

I love the idea that a man can be so out of touch with baseline reality he doesn’t understand why “the torment nexus that feeds on children’s suffering” causes revulsion in people that still have a soul It’s real banality of evil stuff; he literally can’t comprehend how he might be a bad guy

Oh my god that is the worst possible answer

Out Now! CSB347: HUNGRY SPHINCTER PRESS, DO NOT REDEEM youtube.com/shorts/nGQ7v...

Surprise, we're getting pretty close to the final version of REALIS! ICYMI: I've been making a TTRPG about mystical moons and living spaceships and sentences that can kill you. A preview is available now (see my pinned post), but the full version draws near! www.kickstarter.com/projects/cru...

I'm repeating multiple sentiments I have read here and Masto, but I must emphasize: The new Windows 11 agent may randomly install malware as a feature meanwhile it runs me through 3 security prompts to run/compile a game I made on my computer.

Realis is coming sooner than you think! Sign up to be notified at launch when the print edition of @austinwalker.bsky.social's TTRPG goes live in 2026, and start bracing yourself for all the additional art, player options, and GM resources being added to the game: www.kickstarter.com/projects/cru...

Desperately refreshing the Protomen Act 3 page like a rabid animal clawing at his cage.

Chat, is this good?

We need to talk more in international spaces about how much of what people think of as "Canada" is a very expensive marketing campaign. It's all a lie.

Corollary to point 2, it creates a genre of the medium that is specifically built around catering to the awards show. Oscar bait is a term for a reason. Publishers greenlight games and acquire studios in order to cater to The Game Awards jury pool.

I'm going to bump this just one more time here. I don't want to be a downer. I'm a 25 year professional software/game dev/community organizer that's in *DIRE* need of employment ASAP! I've been stuck in tech-company interview & waiting hell the past 9+ months. I desperately need a job or gig now. 💜

Black protag = usually won't be considered for a real award, but they want to get points so game is relegated to "impact" awards. Amazing seeing what was jammed into that category.

Re-upping this for no reason! www.theguardian.com/games/2025/n...

game awards 2016: we signed a sponsorship deal with schick, here is a bit razor mascot man. he's buff for some reason game awards 2025: we signed a sponsorship deal with a company that knowingly sells ad time to the government agency that kidnaps immigrants

I haven't checked The 2025 Game Awards nominees yet, my actual question is who is actually *left* in the jury pool this year after all the Games Journalism layoffs this year?

sell fucking everything, panic, never so over, rope futures, etc finance.yahoo.com/news/peter-t...

It's been 15 years, but...

Intel GPUs on Raspberry Pi Is So Wrong it Feels Right

Jesus Christ.

Snapshot of my similar post over on LinkedIn, where I'm a bit more succinct and cover a bit more ground. www.linkedin.com/feed/update/... I also realize it's nearly 5 PM on Friday (worst possible time to do this), but well that's just how these things go. 🤷

i have a dream

I NEED THIS NOW!

nobody knows how to write anymore

If the new Steam Machine is anywhere around the $500 mark it is definitely worth it to me as even a desktop replacement.

again i am perfectly fine with locking every one of Jeffrey Epstein's friends in prison, Democrat, Republican or Whatever.

Well, fuck. Revoking any and all Peripeteia recommendations (and I wish I could un-back it on Kickstarter) based on the very thinly veiled transphobia from the dev (the first one in the screenshots here). I hate this.

I AM LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE AND I FINALLY GOT THE 10 FLIP ENDING ON UNFAIR FLIPS!!!!

The thing people are ignoring when they react to the Future Class situation with "these entitled DEI freaks were too demanding!" is that the one thing we can ALL agree we wanted was simply a single email providing transparency about the end of the initiative, instead of a year of radio silence.

I appreciate that this article doesn't lose sight of the 200 human beings in our cohort doing tangible, meaningful work across many professional disciplines. The mismanagement of Future Class does not diminish our individual careers, and without TGA, we still have bright futures.

King: submitted for the approval of the midnight society, i call this the Elon Musk [rising out of bushes]: eyyyy stephano king Musk: itsa me, elon! Barker: hey it's your pal King: he's not my pal!! Barker: look everyone it's steve's pal Poe: that's enough clive Poe: you're going too far

I always wanted the LEGO advent calendar.

Every damn time with these people...

“Don’t gather some of the most brilliant activists in the industry, treat us like crap, and then expect us to do nothing about it.” After the Game Awards cancelled its Future Class programme, @alyssamerc.bsky.social talked to its former honorees www.theguardian.com/games/2025/n...

Wait, was Casino Royale not a reboot?

Bracketing that they absolutely failed here. And bracketing that such a failure reflects a dearth of discipline, understanding, and acumen... They just don't got the juice, man. Absolutely sauceless leadership.

it's crazy to me that two items I needed desperately in 2020, a new workstation desktop PC and a used car, ended up being the same cost.

I'm really getting sick and tired of Windows deciding every time I update Twine that it is no longer a trusted app and I lose about 500 words worth of progress on a project...

okay, seriously: if we were to corral this, would anyone be interested in contributing? Here is the google form: forms.gle/m2V4j4cDvwNu...

Getting asked for my SAT score in a job application for a mid level engineering position targeting people in their 30s is a freaking choice multiple software companies have taken. You know, the thing I took in High School that really didn't matter cause I needed the ACT for my choice schools...
