@punkitt.bsky.social I don't care how up to date you are on Dumbing of Age I need you to read the latest one for reasons. Please. I'm begging you

Sometimes I think about the artsy girl I met at local gamedev events back in like 2023 who now is the co-founder of an AI startup and made tech news for using said platform to hire someone as a date for Valentine’s Day. Like what the fuck happened lmao

Sometimes I notice someone who I follow hasn't posted for a while and I get worried about them even though they're probably fine and just taking a break from social media Anyways hope @unburntwitch.com is doing alright

Shoutout to silly white boys. Y'all have kept me from feeling even worse when my mental health was bad for years. I'm not among your ranks anymore but I still honour and thank you for your service

I know it's unlikely but I feel like Nintendo CAN'T miss the chance to make the next Mario Maker game "Super Mario Maker 3D". Like it's perfect. How could you not.

Canadian political news: "Everyone is mad at the prime minister for saying something slightly rude" British political news: "A 300-1 vote passed in favour of letting people set the houses of minorities on fire" American political news: "Someone made a bad meme and it made the fascists mad"

given the recent posting of the official strikes rules, I'd like to copy-paste my own version from a tumblr post I made the other day: Social media is simple: everyone gets three strikes before you're banned, you don't know how many strikes you're on, and trans women start with two strikes.

I think the reason I like "hard games" but so rarely beat roguelikes and tend to bounce off things like fighting games is because I'm not good at mastery of mechanics, which is what's required to be "good" at those things I get good by doing the same thing over and over and over until I win

Happy 100th Sir David Attenborough 🥳🎶 Worried for a moment that the posts about him meant something sad, but it's the opposite for a change!! 🥹

Undertale is an Earthbound fangame, but Deltarune is a Mother 3 fangame. And that's why I like Deltarune more

It’s always kinda weird being a “I think I’d probably enjoy life more as a girl” trans person when most of my friends are of the “shower with the lights off so you don’t have to see your body” variety

If I made a show about being a teen c. 2021 I’d have to use 70% by underscores in it. Truly the song that best captures how things felt at that time

So interesting to see a kitchen device become commonplace in real time. I bet by the time I’m in my 40s that air fryers will be like toasters or coffee makers in that not EVERYONE has one, but they’re common enough that it’s surprising when someone doesn’t

average day on bluesky

“Check their hard drive” <- rhetoric used to imply someone is a creep “Check their file system” <- devastating, implies someone isn’t good at organizing the contents of their drive

Important rules for the "age verification" era of the internet that we're living in: 1. Do not do age verification. 2. If you have to do age verification, cheat. Do not under any circumstances give them your real ID.

much respect to everyone looking for a way to permanently uninstall the 4GB LLM file Chrome is force-installing on users, but I have the one trick Google doesn't want you to know that will FOREVER get rid of that stuff: Step 1: stop using chrome oh my god and install Firefox Step 2: vibe

The fun thing about Linux is that whenever you need to do something it’s always either “oh yeah just install x and run command y” and it works perfectly, or it’s “install x and run command y” and you spend the next three hours of your life trying and failing to solve dependency issues

Always love seeing when someone I follow for unrelated reasons turns out to follow some radical transgender shitposter. Like oh cool tech talk guy didn’t know you were chill like that

Never let anyone talk you out of a quick 2 day game jam. Those 4 months will be the best 3 years spent releasing a commercial game of your life

Spending my night meticulously reading and adding descriptions to all of my 600+ bookmarked Dumbing of Age strips unsure how it took until I was 18 to be diagnosed with autism ngl

Name your top 15 TV shows ever, gut instincts only: The Owl House Bojack Horseman Daria Community The Amazing Digital Circus Avatar: The Last Airbender The Good Place Gravity Falls Clone High Invincible Mythbusters Game Changer Inside Job Infinity Train Arcane

Incontinence? Yeah that’s where countries usually go

I think about this comic on the daily. Absolutely incredible final sentence

Goodbye, get lost, and we'll see you soon.

*i walk in and a heavy metal shred plays even though im wearing a bowtie and suspenders* hi everypomni whats up

Help the estrogen is working and I’m slowly forgetting everything other than mcdonald’s, charge my phone, twerk, be bisexual, eat hot chip, and lie

City of None is an upcoming adventure game published by Extremely OK Games! Check it out on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3189450/...

Introducing Cursor Camp, a website to hang out with other cursors. Out now :) > neal.fun/cursor-camp/

My opinion on all callout posts and shit based on things that happened more than five years ago is this: It was quite a while ago, and unless that behaviour has continued then it probably doesn't indicate who they are now so stop freaking out over it, ESPECIALLY if they apologized.

learning lots of things in my day job. like how to use quickbooks and also that you should call your maintenance guy for everything and make each thing an individual request so you can get your landlord charged as much as possible in labor hours

I think the thing that causes my brain the most friction with biz people is the sense of natural law accorded to capital. It’s akin to talking to someone very religious. Profit must always be maximised, workers are less valuable than the dude who points them to work over there, etc etc, natural law

Currently making a backup of my laptop before I move it over to Arch because that’s better than suffering through Pop24 Maybe I’ll become a Hyprland user, who knows. If the cursor sizes can stay consistent I could put up with Wayland

I have a crazy pitch for the next agdq

Speedrunning has legitimately ruined my brain at this point. For years now whenever I see something that's on a cycle my mind goes "oh, framerule" as though that's the obvious point of comparison

i could write some really long paragraphs about this but the vibes tonight were just as incredible as tuesday. hockey in a nearly-sold out arena full of trans and pride flags was genuinely making me tear up. being accepted is one thing, being in a place that actively wants you there is beyond words

They weren’t kidding about HRT affecting emotions. In the past two days I’ve laughed so hard I can barely breathe for minutes on end like six times which I did maybe once a year before. Things don’t even have to be that funny it just needs to strike the right nerve and I’m doubled over

I’ve only played about an hour of Titanium Court but as someone who played Oberon in an abridged version of A Midsummer Night’s Dream as a teen I love this game Also it’s just fun

see this is art

I have apparently wildly upset the Pro AI community for setting fire to an ai slop character in Minecraft as a joke. This was a fun moment where we set fire to Rome Because of the upset, I will be viciously mocking pro AI users further in future, because it's quite entertaining to do so

It makes me weirdly sad that Call of Duty is based on the Quake engine... like wtf... that codebase is supposed to be used to make weird games that people jump backwards through in half an hour on physics props or do weird silliness in multiplayer,,, CoD feels too serious for the engine...

God I love DougDoug. Where else are you going to get a man who's stuck waiting until a timer finishes, only the timer has a random chance to double, swap minutes and seconds, or double/half the length of a second For the record, currently 1 second = 64 seconds. He'll be streaming for over 2 days

Hate it when I click on a video essay that sounds neat and it ends up just being a summary instead of an analysis

Finally tried Deadlock after having a key for like a year because I was worried my computer couldn't run it (it runs fine on my 1050ti, thanks Valve) and yeah this does seem like fun. I'll probably try and play more Just a shame I know like, nothing about playing FPSs tho

I really should learn the At protocol, if for no other reason than to make sites which function better than this one does because someone wrote actual code instead of generating it

I’m not even an experienced webdev but I’m certain that if I were creating bsky instead of a bunch of vibe coders it wouldn’t crash nearly as much When I ship code, I wrote it myself, and it fucking WORKS. I’m a gamedev, I don’t like letting things crash

When I was like 11 and using software I downloaded from the internet to do ROM hacking and the like I saw folders named “bin” a lot I didn’t know this meant binary, so I assumed it was like “random bin of stuff” and then used the folder name elsewhere on my computer to mean that lol

ADHD meds hold no power over me at 4 in the morning. I’ll debug issues with Ruffle and LibTAS if I want to, thankyouverymuch
