Crucial Track for 21 May 2026: "And I Won't Run Away" by Attila The Stockbrocker This is one of those songs that just refuses to age. With way too many lines that keep on staying current. And way too relatable. https://www.crucialtracks.org/profile/spu/20260521

While Godot 4.7 is enjoying its beta period, work continues on ensuring 4.6 is as stable as possible The first release candidate for #GodotEngine 4.6.3 is now ready for testing! godotengine.org/article/rele...

you could just say that about so many things in society. institutions hardened and isolated themselves to the reality as inequality grew and upward mobility lessened which just fed the perpetual resentment that fuels the far right and also the hollowing out of these institutions.

anyway i guess there's a balance between "learn your history" re: queerness or feminism and understanding that reality of most people's experience changes and the thinking on this needs to adjust to that. but it feels like no one really wants to balance those things tbh.

like what the queer community is in the sort of psuedo mainstream/queer org sense has not really adjusted to the reality of the past 10-15 years for most because people of a certain age took positions of leadership they don't want to let go of & don't really understand how things operate at all now

Godot adoption has rapidly increased in the last few years. Here is a look at the hard numbers 📈 godotengine.org/article/godo...

The AI-driven hard drive shortage is making it more expensive for the Internet Archive to operate, causing problems for Wikimedia, causing delays in academic and hobby archiving projects. Normal people and non AI companies simply can't find reasonably priced drives: www.404media.co/the-ai-hard-...

Not enough people talking about how for my latest video I made an entire game boy game and put it on a real game boy cartridge and played it on a real game boy color just to promote my patreon IN MY HUMBLE OPINION

So I've been living at @spelkollektivet.com for the past year. Its a space where you can stay and work on games, even just for a weekend. I met some of my favorite people there and we're all making cool art together. And i'd love to see some of you make your cool art with us there too! ✨
