Yoooo

What are we calling a screen where you tab between inventory, map, mission log, character stats etc, which probably gets opened with the tab key or something like the triangle or select button on a gamepad rather than what I would call a pause menu with like save, load, settings, etc, on ESC/start?

Stay in the know, but remember to practice self care and touch grass and seek laughter and whatnot.

we've GOT to make this place an echo chamber for perverted transsexual maoists again

Ok other designers, what are we calling the game within a game of optimizing a character build? Like if I have subgames like "combat" or "exploration" or "shopping" what do we call the bit where players are selecting skills, equipping gear, maybe preparing spells, etc?

Just as a reminder:

We've mostly developed three things in the twenty-first century: an app that erases labour, a digital wallet that evades taxes, and an algorithm that abuses your attention. But we've developed each of them over and over again.

I would love to see the MIT Essay Writing with and without LLMs study replicated but with software developers writing code. (The MIT study for reference arxiv.org/abs/2506.08872 )

I have in my mind a vague memory of a film or show or something where a character chooses guns/weapons from a kind of cabinet or built-in structure where there's a moving wall or rack and so they kind of scroll through all the guns/weapons? Can anyone remember what the fuck I'm thinking of?

hi, cis folks in NY state! it's trans day of visibility. we need more than rhetoric—like access to healthcare for trans youth that NYC's biggest private hospitals cut off in defiance of state & city law under mamdani's watch. there are simple actions in the thread below. please add your voice. ⬇️🏳️‍⚧️

It's #TransDayOfVisibility ! Hi. I'm Ash. I'm an Australian game designer living in Sweden. I recently celebrated 10 years since starting medical transition, so this picture is from that party with just some of the amazing people who love and support me that I'm so so thankful for. #tdov

Important reminder for Trans Day of Visibility. Our enby friends deserve some attention today, too.

"Developers who fully delegated to AI produced working code but failed conceptual quizzes afterward. They couldn't debug what the AI had written for them. They had the output without the understanding."

Transgender Day Of Visibility is on the 31st

if you care about trans people, do not watch the new jk rowling show. don’t even hate watch it or you will be funding this new intentionally transphobic organization. we cannot allow hateful people take away more of our rights

”It’s not just a costume— it’s the future. It’s capitalism delivering solutions to the problems it creates.”

Aging can sometimes feel really scary in a world where men register you about the same as a pencil case when they aren't attracted to you. I actively follow older women I think are cool as fuck, who I'd want to be right now, not in 40 years, because they remind me I can be dope as fuck forever

The thing about being trans is that it's really, really fucking hard to just like live day to day in a world run by people who want to exterminate you Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

it's like when people want me to open source my projects like yeah it would be cool but I have bills to pay and mouths to feed, these aren't side projects, they're the very things keeping me financially afloat

I used to suggest Notion as a simpler alternative to Jira/Confluence because the UX was just so much better, but now both have fuckin AI bullshit built in. Does anyone have suggestions for a wiki/task management combo (or two really great separate tools) that have taken active anti-AI stances?

Someone patched GIMP to look and feel exactly like Adobe Photoshop. Same keyboard shortcuts. Same tool layout. Same everything. It's called PhotoGIMP and it's free.

If the tranny does not feel loved, she will inspire fear

Ok but is the gay movie GAY gay or "straight women using the bottom as a vehicle for their fantasies about a relationship that straight men won't give them" gay. Like. There's a vibe difference there.

men giving themselves so much body dismorphia they reinvent shapewear from first principles

THANKYOU

This game is so good that when I got to playtest a build last year I played for 10 hours straight. I could not put it down. I’m so excited it’s out now!!

I wonder how the propaganda in Israel compares to the propaganda here

Grand Guignol gives us crooked alleys & foggy squares, charged touches & words left unsaid, lavish parties & faceless crowds, bloody hands & dangerous smiles, and always the darkness without & within asking ‘What lurks in the secret corners of your heart?’.

My insides hurt today. As a result I can't think of anything else to say right now to elicit donations. But if I don't post at all they definitely won't come. Anything helps. 🙏⚒️💕💸🏳‍⚧♿💜

I find myself often wanting a shorthand for "no is an ok answer" when messaging my friends, as a way of creating safety within our ask culture rather than guess culture. I wish I had like an emoji or like a unicode symbol for shorthand for it. Any suggestions?

Ok so for something like a westmarches format game, how many hours of play are folks usually taking for a session that involves setting out from town, travel to the location, adventuring at the location, and then heading back to town?

"The withdrawals reflect GPs’ worries about the risks of taking on specialist care" sick of this excuse - are you physicians who chose a broad specialty or not? it isn't just adhd, we hear constantly about GPs who won't manage hormones and mine now claims to be unable to manage blood pressure meds

What's it called when you have the delusional or perceptual issues associated with something like body dysmorphic disorder, IE you're not perceiving your own appearance correctly, but it doesn't come with the obsessive or preoccupation components?

Existing in the world as a person is so much better than being forced to endure it as a ghost
