Made a penguin staff twirling motor task. Most of the time, the staff is actually in free spin, and not being held (see slow-mo segment). It's also not animated - it uses real physics (see end). 🐧 #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev

Honestly, AI slop PRs are becoming increasingly draining and demoralizing for #Godot maintainers. If you want to help, more funding so we can pay more maintainers to deal with the slop (on top of everything we do already) is the only viable solution I can think of: fund.godotengine.org

Some shader work I did this past week. Wanted to create a paint splitting effect for the wood in the scene. Think it came out pretty nice, but might make a few more tweaks later down the line 😊

With the state of the creative industries it’s bit confusing to see people get pissed at something being made. I for one am glad people get a chance to make something and use their skills even if what they make is not for me. Better that than seeing more job losses in the arts.

We really just be minding our business as black people and next thing you know it’s “n word here” “n word there” like leave us alone

Mythmatch in Steam Next Fest is Live! It's a narrative-rich, town-building match-3 game! store.steampowered.com/app/2490290/... The demo will be live all week, but the first two days tell Steam how much to show it so please 🎮 Play the Demo! ✅ Wishlist the Game! 📢 Spread the word!!

Again, I cannot emphasize enough: do not go to the US even if you're privileged enough to have never been scared or worried of a border crossing in you're life. Do not go ESPECIALLY for something as optional & outrageously expensive as GDC. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

immensely grateful i got to be a part of @bvigaming.bsky.social especially during Black History Month. thank you so much for having me and especially thank you to @daerhyk.blacksky.app for literally just being the coolest person!! 💖

Bluesky was literally meant to be a cryptobro social network for grifters, LinkedIn sludge, and libertarians who know way too much about age of consent laws. Jack Dorsey *left* when instead of weird and off-putting cryptonerds, trans people started hanging out here.

Hey y'all. A South African dev released a blackity black game during BHM and it's currently getting the usual suspects in the reviews. Imma grab this up myself anyway, but can we all be some chums and help push the racists out of the reviews? 🙂

When you get visited by three Puerto Rican ghosts

In Boston ICE randomly pulled over this huge white Irish guy with a Mass drivers license, 20 years in the states, legal status, pending green card and have held him for 5 months, his citizen wife paid a $4k bond that was ignored(!) ICE forged his signature on deportation agreement, no appeal

I'm curious how countries become associated with colors not in their flag. Like Netherlands and that bright orange and Australia with that pretty green. I know everybody is some flavor of red/white/blue and distinction is nice but why those colors for those countries specifically?

Only just got home and didn't realise my phone was popping off - now I know why 🤣 We're live - chatting with @samanthabeart.bsky.social was one of the highlights of my year, and I had a brilliant time with a brilliant host! Head over and check out the interview! 👇🏿

Artists! Quote with your most detailed art! ✨ I sometimes tell myself that I'll spend only a week on the artwork and end up keeping adding details for a whole month (literally what happened with the second artwork xD)

The Super Smash Bros. series is 27 years old! Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has sold 36.93 million units and is the best selling fighting game of all time. I'll be surprised if we don't hear about a Smash Bros. game made for Switch 2 in 2026.

I'm in a 40 day exercise w/ my yoga studio. The biggest thing that I have noticed so far is that caring for yourself, loving your person, & focusing on what it takes to be the best you, enables people to spill out kindness, empathy, & wisdom. Dear reader, the world needs kindness, empathy, & wisdom.

ICE agents fled from the crowd and left behind their CONOPS battle plan for Minneapolis, including agent's names, hotel rooms, phone numbers, boxes of license plates, and tac radio frequencies.

BREAKING: Staggering scenes as brave Iranians stand up to their illegitimate government in Tehran... um, hang on, I'm being told this is actually Minneapolis. Forget I said anything...

Convienently, there is no email to contact Epic Games support to file a complaint, nor is there a way to get to a human without going through an irritating AI chatbot. That said, parents of kids who play fortnite and have a fortnite email? You can get to a human using your fortnite parent email.

What is the single best job listing / job search site? Is there one that’s clearly the best in general or is it domain-specific?

Truly. I need all non-Black folk to understand that your surprise at how Good is being handled and her death is being laundered right now is an indictment of your understanding and belief in things Black folk have been saying for your whole life. You cannot both believe us and be surprised by this.

I have never seen anything more impotent than the EU right now. The US just invaded a nation for its own financial benefit, murdered dozens, disappeared the de facto leader, claimed governance and the oil - and has openly said Greenland is next, and our leaders are here going "oh well yeah haha"

while my mom was pregnant with me, she was delivering chinese food on bike in new orleans. i like to think that the music she heard in the streets made me the way i am now. happy new year everyone!

The CBS 60 Minutes Doc confirms what we knew: The U.S. is currently using our tax dollars to imprison brown people with no criminal record in torture camps overseas. It’s no wonder administration shill Bari Weiss pulled this off the air: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjY7...

Today I rescued this gem from the rubbish bin. However, I'm not sure what kind of device it is. There is no model sticker or other clues. It obviously has a hard drive and a floppy disk drive, so I think it must be a PC rather than a terminal. Over the next few days, I'll take a closer look at it.

When those who hate trans people win - or pretend to win, cf Sandie Peggie - it's all over the media, even if it's just a tribunal decision. But when they lose, even in the Court of Appeal, it's absolute bloody tumbleweed. So here's our blog about Allison Bailey latest loss. goodlaw.social/3uyd

Facebook made an algorithm that gave Boomers whatever they wanted, and they destroyed democracy, and then all those FB product managers went over to OpenAI and made ChatGPT, and now they've made a chatbot that tells Boomers whatever they want to hear, and... well, this should go great.

the good news is that the media attention and support from an audience has helped Horses do well enough that Santa Ragione has been able to pay all its owed royalties and loans. so it's not in debt. the bad news is it's still not enough to keep the studio together. www.ign.com/articles/hor...

I dunno. 95% versus 3% seems like *quite* a clear consensus to me.

Something that has stuck with me for years now is that Ed Brubaker has made more in residuals for the 5 second cameo he had in Captain America: The Winter Soldier than he ever did at Marvel literally creating the comics it’s based on.

is the gingerbread gamecube my magnum opus?

The thing I had to come to terms with is I’m working on other people’s games not my own. And there fine I put the same amount of effort in but sometimes means working on something that will have zero room of any of your input or ideas and you follow the instructions. That’s why you have personal art

Santa Ragione co-founder Pietro Righi Riva addresses the studio's potential closure in an exclusive interview with GamesIndustry.biz. "There will likely be no money left to make a new [game]... Unless a miracle happens and Horses does very well." www.gamesindustry.biz/santa-ragion...

At the end of a rollercoaster year, I’m genuinely humbled to share that I’m part of this year’s #BAFTABreakthrough UK cohort! Thank you @bafta.org, @baftagames.bsky.social, @netflix.com and everyone involved in the program for your belief and support 🙏 Photographer: Hollie Fernando

I want to thank Alyssa for talking to us for this story. It's hard to see a program like The Future Class be abandoned when it had huge potential. I wanted to share more of my thoughts that include Future Class, Game Awards, and accessibility so I made a video about it: youtu.be/nNcvtsba90M
