Sharing a really awesome animated music video that just released, made by some of the best humans I know! #human-made #animation #music #supershigi www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ac-K...

Cloudflare's down. Look at Capybaras.

I may create things that aren’t the most polished, or are unfinished, possibly even just absolute garbage… …but they’ll be MY absolute garbage, from my imperfect human brain and imagination, not from some slop machine built from an amalgamation of other people’s work.

This is insanely bad for anyone doing game development. Who the hell knows what Gaming Copilot is doing with your screen captures, but it almost certainly isn't compliant with your NDA.

Thinking of experimenting with running my own tiny Mastodon / ActivityPub instance… I miss when the Internet was a web of little personal sites, forums, and communities instead of everyone being on a few big sites, waiting for the heads of the new big site to screw everything up again.

New D&D Animated Short! A simple dinner song. 💐 From: Curious Curios #ttrpg #dnd #dnd5e

Gonna go even further: don't refer to it as "consuming media" when doing this. You aren't a consumer - it's not a product. You read books. You look at art. You watch movies and/or videos. Be careful about word choice. Reject "consume" and REJECT "CONTENT." IT IS ART. YOU ARE ENGAGING WITH ART.

Yet another good reason to not use the plagiarism machine for game dev, including at the concept/placeholder stages:

Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.

All I’m going to say about recent happenings is that the people in charge of my government continue to work overtime to convince me that I am a horrible person and the reason for everything bad that is happening. Feels real welcoming

Godot has become a viable game engine Blender has become a viable 3D modelling AND animation tool SteamDeck is now a fantastic "mobile" Desktop platform AAA is shrinking / abandoning territory, ceding more genres to indie Basically, (funding sitch aside) indie gamedev is seriously looking up!

New favorite festival/fair food: pizza, in cone form.

September is Bi Visibility Month, so perceiving me may be easier, as all bisexuals have disadvantage on stealth rolls until Halloween 1st.

I don't get how people don't realize that a technology that replaces junior and entry level positions in a field destroys that field. There's no skipping steps. You have to be a junior before you can be a senior, and if you don't have senior people, you don't have a field.

itch.io has been nothing but supportive of LGBTQ+ work since the beginning. it pains me to see the community turn on them like this and so gleefully spread misinformation about them without even giving them a shred of benefit of the doubt. journalists too...

Well, that's not great... 😬 (fortunately, this is "just" a backup storage device)

"OooooOOOoooo, looks like you'll have to make a whole GAME about me, stardust~! 96 whole hours thinking about your bestie, aren't you excited????" #isat #InStarsAndTime #GMTKJam #GMTKGameJam2025

"I asked chatgpt" "I asked grok" well I asked Achenar from the best-selling point&click adventure game Myst and he told me to bring him the blue pages and NOT to touch the red ones

I honestly thought this was a bit when reading it. Apparently it’s not… Giving these tools the ability to output natural language was a mistake, since it causes people without the appropriate knowledge level to still believe the output of these tools, because “it sounds like it knows what’s right.”

you're gonna wanna see this

Happy International Non-Binary People's Day everybody

I am so, so very tired of all of this... but I continue to exist. 🟥🟪🟦

Have a very fluffy #cat in a box! (her name is Lynx)

If I’m knowledgeable on a subject I don’t *need* an LLM. If I’m not knowledgeable on a subject I don’t *trust* an LLM.

Boise State Public Radio is at risk of losing nearly 20% of our annual budget. The rescission package sent to Congress by President Trump has now been released to the floor by the House Rules Committee and a vote is expected soon, possibly this week.

#Graduation time is imminent! It finally feels somewhat real… I’m still going to sleep for about 12 consecutive hours once everything is done.

Why you should simply never use Discord as a replacement for a Wiki/knowledge-base, exhibit A: The search function is simply and completely useless. It's a great place to build an #indiedev community but you simply cannot rely on it as the main/sole pillar of communication with your users.

Uncertain who needs this or if anyone needs it, but here's a drawing of Proto Man for today.

a discord is not a forum. I don't want to join your product's community; I want to read the solution to my technical problem from two posters who worked it out 4 years ago

I cannot believe I'm actually writing these words: Wanderstop is OUT NOW!! Although it's difficult to communicate just how meaningful this moment is to me, I've done my best to put my thoughts into a personal note. Thank you, and I hope you enjoy the game 💖

Well, it’s been a pretty good app until now… but every time a platform goes public/IPO, enshittification tends to follow pretty quickly. Prove me wrong.

I wonder if society is prepared for the amount of undecipherable bugs and tech debt ML/LLM users might be introducing in the name of short term productivity
