This is some of the hardest shit I've seen in my life

Because our game is relatively large in terms of content, we use a good number of assets. Here's a peek at how we are adjusting those to better fit our world :)

just make it exist first, you can make it good later! 🌸🌼

Sam Altman keeps saying the quiet part out loud - valuations are too high, there's no biz model w/copyright, there's not enough electricity, LLMs aren't the path to AGI - yet govts and AI cheerleaders seemingly bend over backwards to ignore that fortune.com/2025/08/20/u...

No one works as fast as @aggrocrabgames.bsky.social and @landfall.se to meet their communities accessibility needs 🙂‍↕️👏🏻 Bugphobia mode is already updated

Psst, just because I've seen multiple friends lamenting having accidentally posted images without alt text this week: you can enable a bsky setting under Accessibility that will not let you post an image without putting the alt text in first. Game changer for me!

I've made an updated and even more compact TL;DR on tricks for voicing children and why high-pitched != young.
