The bsky exploration team is cooking on all burners. So hyped on what we’re building toward here 😎

Here’s another #screenshotsaturday gamedev log for my Godot voxel game. Today I added settlements with trade routes, sky islands with airships, and a sweet selfie debug camera. The game now also has a dynamic music system with some of the first VGM I’ve composed in a long ass time. Sound on 🎼

Started messing around with Bluesky DMs as a native SwiftUI messages app. Works cross platform on all apple devices

Woke up early for some gamedev and codage. Then I'll be playing a headliner show later this evening. Gonna be a solid weekend :3

Claude Code buddies were pretty nifty, but generating your own desktop pet with Codex may be peak

we're making big moves to make the app better and more performant. soon, we'll be enabling the react native new architecture. want to help us test it out? you now can! iOS: join the TestFlight beta testflight.apple.com/join/UjM5zxM9 Android: use this prerelease APK github.com/bluesky-soci...

Images you can hear

Got my Paper S3 in yesterday and of course I had to make a bsky client for it

Test post from my Paper S3

Show me a cool physical game

Welp... it only took about 4 hours before I caved on this

Started testing out a print for this hardware concept I made in Blender yesterday. I added standoffs and ports for a pi5 in the meantime while I figure out what internals to use. Next up is a flat magnetic top lid and vertical stand in glow in the dark filament

Gonna use this next time there's some heated atproto discourse flying around

The specced out M5 Max laptop I bought last month now costs $1000 more at checkout… We are in some dark ass times.

The wait is over! store.steampowered.com/sale/steamma...

Taking time this holiday weekend to work on my Godot voxel game prototype some more. Already added some cool new features like traversal by foot, a dynamic skybox with weather, more lush biomes and a bubble shield for combat. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev

Here’s an early #ScreenshotSaturday peek at Geomancer, the retro voxel shooter I’ve been making in Godot. It features editable procedural worlds, and a combat system that’s inspired by classic 90s games like Star Fox, Panzer Dragoon, and Magic Carpet #gamedev #bullethell #barrelroll

the Bluesky design research team wants to talk with people who are interested in building communities. if that's you, submit this form! your voice will help shape what we build. docs.google.com/forms/d/1ej6...

Started building a new game idea with @xogot.bsky.social last weekend, and I can officially say I'm Godot pilled now. Unity treated me well over the last decade, but the extensibility of this engine is too rad to ignore. Will share what I've been working on tomorrow for #ScreenshotSaturday 👾

Great software always took shape in conversation, not the commit. With agents, the conversation that generates the code is becoming the true source of our software. And Git can't keep up. So we built something that can. Meet DeltaDB: zed.dev/blog/introdu...

v1.123 is live! You can now attach up to 10 photos in posts. We listened to your feedback and redesigned the photo carousel. It only appears for posts with at least 5 photos. Swipe through to learn more.

Got access to the new Siri. Pretty sweet so far

So ready to install these betas...

Beacon Bits June update is now live! This release brings some sweet new features: 🌎 A new 3D map using @maplibre.org 📍 Clickable POI markers for easier checkins ☀️ Weather details on beacons and posts ❤️ Better interactions backed by @microcosm.blue 🔐 New OAuth backend with a 90 day timeout

Trying out the Superstation One on this Sony Trinitron I picked up for free last month. Looks so sharp using component cables with this setup 👌

i'm not good at communicating it, microcosm services continue to support a significant (and growing) fraction of all atproto apps. pretty sure i (indirectly) serve one of the largest user-bases. usage keeps growing, stuff keeps getting more expensive

[onboarding new employees] And this is the backrooms. Oh god I should’ve asked, are you okay with endless psychological terror spaces full of monsters? It’s optional

Getting ready to take off to Seattle for a week. Not sure how much time I'll have, but would love to hang if anyones around 👋

Porting this prototype over to Godot this weekend 🫈

Happy Inferno release day for those who celebrate. Locking into this for the next hour and change

Playing a sold out show tonight with surf punk legends Daikaiju. These dudes like to light their instruments on fire with lighter fluid and crowd surf during most of the set. If you happen to see me next week without eyebrows, you’ll know why.

This is “just” a yaml file - so let do a PR if you want to add your community. Maybe communities of interest, too? @atproto.science should be there for sure, also @astrosky.eco -> PRs welcome tangled.org/atmosphere.c...

we’re rolling out the first phase of the Bluesky + standard.site integration today! now, when you share an article from writing platforms that support standard.site (like @leaflet.pub, @pckt.blog, @offprint.app), you’ll notice the link card has more to it than a typical link card.

Great energy at the meetup this evening. Thank you @c0nr.ad, @awssnarkitect.bsky.social, @montoulieu.dev, @cyanne.codes, and @jeremie.com!

“I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe…”

Today is the day! Mile high atproto nerds assemble 🏔️ atmo.rsvp/p/colorado.a...

Sometimes I get comments on my VGM YouTube channel that tug at the heartstrings 😿

Got access to the Xogot beta, and it looks like the latest version added visionOS support. Stoked to check this out more over the week ᯅ

Get ready for a new way to see beacons across the globe. Our next update will add clickable POI markers and a new 3D map experience. Stay tuned for more info this week 📡

I'm in the middle of something.

repost this, please and thank you

Stoked to be able to make this one. Colorado atproto peeps, lets kick it!
