Hey so I'm posting something that isn't about politics or my writing. SNAP only covered two weeks of food, not the three it usually does. So while we've got basic staples and about a week of food, we've got three teenagers... So anything that can be spared, would help.

‘Father’ and ‘dad’ are synonyms. ‘Figure’ and ‘bod’ are synonyms. But, a ‘father figure’ and a ‘dad bod’ aren’t exactly the same thing…

#GodotEngine 4.7 is here! 🎉 Like a cult classic movie, Godot 4 has only gotten better with age; the 4.7 Director's Cut offers colors of never-before-reached intensity, helming a bevy of new features to eliminate any remaining friction between you and your vision! godotengine.org/releases/4.7/

the secret sauce of video games is lighting artists im deadass here

it's basically the number one rule to any medium ; you can't just tunnel-vision and pigeon hold yourself into a corner. that niche may feel comfortable but it's stifling and prevents you from seeing "the bigger picture" in any sort of artistic/cultural context

Great team of people and a good game engine. Congrats getting to work on this, it's my favorite SNES game!

@alexis-lipina.bsky.social some vfx inspiration for your mech game!

This indie game deserves the support! Undeniable style and the devs themselves are pretty rad to boot!

If you are on GitHub, please give your NSFW/queer/furry peers some support 🙏: github.com/bluesky-soci... Given bsky team's track record, I have doubts about the effectiveness of directly appealing to them. But short of abandoning the platform, it's at least some form of action.

Well holy crap. Erin Brockovich (yes, the same one the led the Hinkley, CA toxic groundwater lawsuit in ‘93) launched a website tracking AI data centers across the US and the ecological impacts to the environment and drinking water. MN is riddled with them. www.brockovichdatacenter.com

Still at it! Making the vehicular combat game of my dreams! Explosions! Twisted metal! Machine guns! Please enjoy the latest dev montage!

BREAKING: Boston City Council just unanimously passed a resolution condemning dangerous age verification and censorship laws, including the proposals put forward by @massgovernor.bsky.social and the MA House. Backlash to age gating social media is growing! www.fightforthefuture.org/news/2026-05...

so, between landlord refusing to repair my toilet (check the email to see other repairs she's never fixed) and my doctor's visit costing $300 and landlord demanding I pay for a cleaning service, it's bad! if you like my articles and think I shouldn't be going through this shit: paypal.me/stompsite

Myst-style games should be a subgenre called Myst Connections.

I just published a free, comprehensive beginner's guide to making a multiplayer game in #GodotEngine! I put a lot of work into this one, I hope it's useful! ezcha.net/news/5-7-26-... #gamedev #indiedev

Passivestar continues to make me wish I invested time to learn vfx in Godot

I choose to believe this is how most 90s arcade race tracks were initially conceived #gaming #retrogaming #arcade

Hello! I still badly need work in narrative design or game writing etc. I’ve been in games for 20 years and I’m responsible for the mobile smash hit Lily’s Garden. I will take on full-time or contract work but I really need to pick something up soon. Please get in touch if you have/know of something

Gentle reminder…

Here are Dave and David's full unedited comments for those interested:

I'm very excited to see the character based on my likeness for myself in the game!

I've said it before: I genuinely consider it a moral imperative that people my age and up bang the drum about what the Internet used to be so those younger know that there's nothing inherent about what it is now. The Internet doesn't have to be this; its culture can and has belonged to people.

The government is asking for public comments on whether banks should be able to deny you from buying legal goods at their own whim (i.e. how they're cracking down on art) Tell them you don't want to be told how to spend your money www.federalreserve.gov/apps/proposa...

Spacefarer Games, a 1 person "indie game studio" steals Cyeides' Zera: Myths Awaken game, renamed it, recolored the textures and has it listed up on the Nintendo eShop. Spread the word that Spacefarer is a game thief! Support Cyreides, the original creator! cyreides.itch.io/zerama #videogames #psa

Honestly, AI slop PRs are becoming increasingly draining and demoralizing for #Godot maintainers. If you want to help, more funding so we can pay more maintainers to deal with the slop (on top of everything we do already) is the only viable solution I can think of: fund.godotengine.org

This applies to everyone, artists included. The adobe animate fiasco is a great example. The industry builds monolithic closed source expensive tools you get locked into, then they drop it the moment AI looks like it could make them more money. Support open source software! #Krita #Godot #Blender3D

I'm officially going ✨part-time✨ to make more free interactive guides for Godot!! You can support me on Patreon and get early access and cool rewards 😎 To celebrate, I made a free tween cheatsheet in 8 languages, available here: www.patreon.com/posts/tween-... #Godot #GameDev #Indie #GodotEngine

This is where I'll remind everyone of @nogamesforgenocide.com and their general ask that, out of solidarity with BDS and Palestine, products under the Xbox and Microsoft gaming umbrellas not be covered by journalists or influencers nogamesforgenocide.com

I’m making a #mecha action game in Godot based heavily on armoured core with a co-op missionette focus. I’ve been getting a lot of work done behind the scenes since I started 2 months ago, there’s a thread bringing everybody up to date with the project as it stands now 🧵1/4 #GodotEngine #GameDev

Not all of our concepts are shirty whiteboard sketches! These days we are very fortunate to be working with @ridgelowis.bsky.social on new character art for future hub areas.

I know this won’t get a lot of attention beyond “well it’s New Hampshire, what did you expect” but I want you all to know there are a lot of kids and families of color here and we all deserve better than this kind of garbage representation

Cancel. Genuinely. Cancel. A rejection at the border is a permanent mark against entry, forever. If you insist, follow dangerous territory protocols: know your embassy details, make sure someone knows your travel details, and have funds for emergency legal, health, and departure expenditures.

I am, in fact, triggered by someone being murdered by the Gestapo and our government lying about it and celebrating the murder. It’s time for decent people to decide where they stand — with the Gestapo and its supporters, the juvenile shitposting government, or with America.

This was something I was just discussing with friends that we thought was wild Godot did not support out of the box. This is great! The Godot Community continues to rule and be a huge boon

The Cardiff Lions do an annual Drag Rugby charity match for children’s charities and it’s as beautiful as you imagined

The rust laser tool now handles object occlusion / shadowing! Fun, tough little technical puzzle to figure it out but it lends such a sense of physicality to the tool #screenshotsaturday #screenshotsunday #gamedev #indiedev

This won’t be quite like any expo you’ve attended before. We’re tripling-down on being THE indie friendly event. Here’s how…
