Been thinking a lot about Linux Desktops lately (as one does) and, I think I've come to the unfortunate conclusion that now that we're in the era of the Linux Desktop ascendant: we're not actually in the era of the Linux Desktop for another, eh, 5-10 years Because now we gotta wait for app support

But also if you want to hate computers too that's fine We technologists have been hating computers for decades, it's a fine and noble profession

"but wait, how can you phish $400k of LOBSTER out of someone?" "is easy, you just butter him up"

What a year. 🐧 - Lots of progress on Penguin Festival - Released TWO trailers - A bunch of Godot PRs + free addons - Many fun experiments - Leveled up skills - Said bye to Meta - Worked out / lowered cholesterol / sugar - Continued therapy + self-discovery #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev #VR

Little known fact about people being Knighted: England's royal line can be challenged if the Knights ever invoke the Great Culling, wherein they duel eachother until there is only one, who is then crowned King As much as I like Sir Patrick Stewart, unfortunately I'd have to bet on Sir Idris Elba 😭

i think what gets overlooked is that part of the humor and charm of edits like these is that you're perfectly aware that someone sat down and spent their own time making it. they chose to do something cool or silly or stupid or genius, regardless of the results that human element elevates the work

Reminder that years ago it was found out that the FBI straight up made up a whole bunch of fake forensic sciences, plural. People have gone to jail and been executed due to literally pseudoscience. Hair forensics, for instance, is totally nonsense. They admitted it. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Check it out lol

Hey guys check this out

Hmmm two thoughts. - Don't suppose anyone knows what wheat/grain would have been used prior to the 1950's? If the pasta flour were wholewheat for instance, that might greatly influence cooking time - Were they simmering instead of boiling? (cooking over a woodfire, no stove/oven, absolutely sucks)

I used to manage wine programs for movie theaters and I am in the extremely unique position to say with professional certainty that the answer here is a crisp Albariño.

The future of the Linux desktop can look like this. Let's build it! loss32.org (I am at #39c3 currently, specifically around the table called " " usually, ask for 'hikari'!)

me n the boyz goin to the HL1 restroom

I do wonder if we're not just due for a massive adjustment on how we treat uni (on the far side of the collapse happening now etc maybe) If we could back off on the whole University Is Job Training thing again, maybe class sizes would be more workable for the various AI combating measures, etc etc.

I'm genuinely annoyed that the LLMs all seem trained on what is probably the Anarchist's Cookbook (and then carefully told to avoid talking about it), but last time I went looking I couldn't find it anymore. Like sure, explosives for thee but not for me, I see how it is

Huh. Not only does One Piece have a canonically trans character, but they cover it in like 30 seconds and everyone just shrugs and then they keep going.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have shown Alzheimer’s disease can be REVERSED- not just prevented. Using a potent neuroprotective compound called P7C3-A20, they found RESTORING balance to a central cellular energy molecule (NAD+) not only PREVENTED disease features but REVERSED them, EVEN at late stages.

Spent the day investigating this 1-2-3 attack combo system. Might stick with the old jak n daxter kinda attacks but its good work for future stuff regardless. Its too fun to work on even with some quick unpolished anims to start with. #GameDev #3DPlatformer #ScreenshotSaturday

you get to kick a cop in the nuts in this one

This is just going to always be my go-to response to this kind of thing anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...

jetpack!! very fun and very unwieldy if you're not just trying to zoom straight forward as fast as possible. #godotengine #godot #gamedev #indiegame

I am playing a Cinematic Adventure Game that was well reviewed and I'm starting to think everyone just immediately uses walk throughs these days? Because the thing is absolutely full of incredibly annoying sequences that just don't make sense. Not puzzles, more "oh this only does something after X"

Wait Avatar has sexy badguy monsters? There's your lasting cultural impact: like where else do you think monster fuckers come from? <slaps down folder of proof> <picture of sexy animal man from Disney slides onto table> Family-friendly features with suspiciously sexy badguy monsters, that's where

Yeah yeah football whatever Which Mascot got sacrificed? Who got eaten?

I know this is true because Meg and I became friends 15 years ago in a Skype chat room for new indie devs when I was trying to make my first game. 15 years later, we're still not really famous, but we're a lot better at making games! Plus we help each other with our projects all the time.

You will love our indie game if you enjoyed: - Bubble Bobble - Snow Bros. - Tumblepop - Joe & Mac: Returns

YES. To-Fu is the best soggy little guy

Y'all folks need to eject your TERFs over there so that you can get back to your True Culture, which is this to be clear before the TERF thing, this is basically how I imagined literally anyone I knew from England

the first time in history this shit has happened. first time and it's on camera. what a privilege

In-game Implementation. Coolest animation I have done so far. #indiegame #gamedev #godot

SO WISE

Oh, buncha new followers, let's update the ol' pinned post: Hi! I make video games. You probably know me from SkateBIRD, but I've let the birds have fwingers and swords in the new game. Want a feed of just my gamedev? bsky.app/profile/did:... Wanna see my Patreon? www.patreon.com/c/glassbotto...

Almost everyone I’m close with who worked on the glitzy AAA titles people know I met doing game jams or breaking our backs in mobile games years ago. And a lot of us remember being treated like we weren’t devs for working on phone games! Plenty of folks tossed their shot to know a “famous” dev 😌

Mario 65 is a fun little Mario fan game that recreates the classic Mario 64 intro screen, but with Mario a little older and worse for wear. henold.itch.io/mario-65 by #gamedev henold #indiedev #indiegame #gaming

@harada-tekken.bsky.social This is the most politely gathered gathering I have ever witnessed..

Aggretsuko is a Sanrio property that I think counts as Hello Kitty universe? Anyways she's great. The secretary bird secretary is my fav tho.

attention new bluesky users: pick up that can

I have no idea why we're talking about game design again

Thinking about this and how literally just at the TGAs *two weeks ago* we are still dealing with people pushing the notion of some devs being 'nobodies' or unimportant but then watching the same people chase and borderline harass famous people hoping to get a plate.

you can def network vertically, but prioritize networking horizontally surround yourself with kind, hardworking, and talented friends, and it’s only a matter of time before your careers go places also: if you can’t take an opportunity, pass it on to a friend who’d do just as well if not better

I have an upcoming episode of my podcast all about Prohibition, and something I did not realize about the amendment banning alcohol (which was a nativist Protestant fundamentalist project its core) was it was instrumental in disgusting most of the country into creating the New Deal coalition.

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but 2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but 3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So 4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

Just gonna say this again for games sphere cus we get the same question: Networking doesn't mean schmoozing up to famous people, it means making friends with your peers. Then in 10 years, 20, one of you might be famous? And sure you're still helping each other cus well yeah friends. Make. Friends.

Tenchu has always been cooler than Hitman and I'm tired of pretending otherwise

For anyone else who (like me) has been going "WAIT I THOUGHT THE SHOW WAS OVER" since the James Baxter video, it's a NEW series, The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball, and I am so fucking excited I thought we weren't getting any more ever again FUCK YESSS
