I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself! bluesky-map.theo.io I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

The least Valve could do is to reduce their rate in the first 100k revenue or something, to give small studios with their first titles a fighting chance to maybe make their second game. I swear even Valve would make more money this way.

Progress update on adding rivers, the logic is in but the visuals are going to take a bit longer. Probably going to have to add some kind of railing system but let's do things step at a time.

Thinking about rivers.

Number crunching: Pay and dividends of Bet365 chief executive v total fiscal cost of gambling-related harm. From the new Private Eye, out now.

What if instead of fixing the bugs in the shader code I just make it worse instead and call it a feature?

Playing around with a line drawn-esque shader effect.

The Ministry of Justice is still refusing to meet with the lawyers or families of hunger strikers being held on remand. This is a shambolic dereliction of duty. I have written to David Lammy, again, imploring him to do the right thing before it is too late.

5 people are playing a game where they pick a number from 0-100 inclusive. The person who picks the 2nd highest number wins. If multiple players are tied for 2nd place those players still win. If everyone picks the same number they all lose. What is the best strategy in order to win?

Random bit of Monday Indie Advice when naming your game: Aim to have less than 5 syllables, preferrably 2 or 3. Any more than that and people won't remember the name of your game unless they really love it, and even then they'll abbreviate it.

Their memorials are history. Ours are political. Because as always, there are two sexualities - straight, and political. Two genders - male, and political. Two religions - Christian, and political. Two races - white, and political.

My brain is determined to have the wrong ideas at the wrong times. Right now I'm trying to write a save/load system and all my brain can think about is Will Smith dressed as a vampire singing "In West Transylvania born and raised in a coffin is where I spend most of my days..." Thanks brain.

Random idea - Streets of Rage 99. Work with other players in small groups that get merged as people die until only one remains. Getting kills + participation earn upgrades that help you make it to the end.

Teaching AI literacy. (GenAI is wrong A LOT. And even though people tend to think it saves time, we now have randomized controlled trials that show situations where it takes *more* time even when participants self-report it's saving them time.)
