Any introverts care to comment? Would you be cool with a heads up phone call text? The alternative, "Hey, got time this week to catch up on a Discord call?" is tough because most of my friends don't know what time the kids will settle in bed and if they themselves will go to bed just after or not.

4 Black journalists have been kidnapped by the federal government

we tend to prioritize custom tooling a lot even given our short dev cycles - the improvements to both producing and enjoying the work have always been super worth it for us!!

This was Marie Gluesenkamp Perez's office the other day. She was one of the 7 Dems.

20 minutes from me, 2 minutes from where I used to live. Absolutely gut-wrenching and heartbreaking horror www.theburnerseattle.com/post/ice-abd...

Just posted. Time to kick them out. www.change.org/p/support-an...

Less than 30m from my work. Reach out to your community. I've been leaving my cell number with local at-risk neighbors. I dread receiving that call or text, but I dread not being there for them more. www.theburnerseattle.com/post/ice-abd...

Let's be clear. For reasons only known to #MGPisGOP she chose to lose this seat and re-election. I am running to save this seat for the Democrats. There is no chance for her to survive in a General election after telling her base she does not care. ICE must be dismantled, end of discussion!

Today, my favorite state is Minnesota.

I do consulting for game studio Gitops, Git + LFS can be easier to manage than Perforce, much cheaper, more reliable, and something you can troubleshoot in-house. Spin up a GitLab account, grab the Git Fork app, and save yourself from future nightmares.

oh goodness! Let’s talk licensed game development and how an awesome team of part-time devs made this happen!

It's the Polaris 2025 reports! They've come! They're here! It's a bumper crop of five, count'em FIVE papers! We got comedy, we got death, we got cringe, we got trust... something for the whole team. Piping hot game design knowledge and insight await: polarisgamedesign.com/reports/

In 2026 we're continuing work on our first game title, and we're getting pumped to share it with you! What are you working on this year #indiegame #whattoplay #gamenews #gaming

Reminder this Women's March action is happening today. If your kids want to walk out of school at 2pm, I encourage you to talk through consequences. Then, if they choose, support them and pick them up. Use the rest of the day as a learning experience for breaking the law, democracy, and activism.

We're a remote studio, so I guess we're just taking the day off after lunch! action.womensmarch.com/calendars/fr...

My action skydiving racing FPS Aerial_Knight’s DropShot drops Feb 17 on PS5, Xbox, and PC. You play as a guy bitten by a radioactive dragon, taking down mercs, dragons, tanks, and cows… all while trying not to mess up your fro. Give it a Wishlist it means a lot 🙂 youtu.be/Hl0ylC9SYuw?...

Liberals: I need you to understand that if you nominate this man, we will NOT vote for him. Period. You've got three years. Reject him. Because if he's your standard bearer, you lose. Polite fascism is not an acceptable alternative to fascism.

Please do not endanger yourself by traveling to the US to attend GDC. It is NOT safe to come here. It is NOT worth it. We throw visitors in concentration camps. Our fascist thugs murder w/o repercussion, terrorize schools, play with victims. You wouldn't visit Nazi Germany in 1940. Don't come here

It's Jared's birthday stream, let's celebrate Jar Jar January!! twitch.tv/meydalenna

Today my nephew asked about a game he saw in my library. Skyrim. Hearing the music boot up again I could almost smell the XBox 360 booting up, the tv glowing in the dark, and feel the hours spent wandering. Yes young dragonborn, I know something about that #gamer #gamedev

Don't let all the advanced protest advice threads intimidate you into not showing up. You don't need to be an expert. It's OK to bring your phone most of the time (biometrics off). You don't need saline for eye rinses. No milk. Bottled water is fine, and lots of it. Quantity matters more than pH.

January 2026 Update Happy New Year, Indies! Like a never-ending rougelike, a year starts anew, bringing on fresh possibilities and lessons learned from the previous run. The start of the year is a bit slow, but we’ve got some things to put on your calendar… 2025 was another challenging year for…

Some recipes work best in a slow cooker.

I keep trying to post some dumb jokes and promote my dang games but this keyboard just keeps typing, “Fuuuuuuuuck ICE,” over and over.

I think it was worth rolling the dice that 2026 simply wouldn't happen

Being nerdy was very much not cool, when I was a kid. I was the kid, other kids were forbidden to play with. Thankfully, not all of them listened.

Capitol switchboard (202) 225-3121 Call your reps. Demand impeachment. No illegal war in our names.

While we're all posting through it, anyone has recommendation on Latin American (Venezuelan or other) media (radio, written) to get information from people more closely affected?

I'm so tired of being trapped on the Death Star. Anyone out there get my map of the thermal exhaust port yet?

Everyone out here talking about New Years Resolutions, and I don't see anyone mentioning the frame rate.

this year I did make this, which was pretty cool

My 2025 wrapped, but it’s just all the cat injuries I’ve gotten this year

It's time again!! Here is our podcast to talk about our games of the year. Check the replies for my write-up on the games that I picked!

Also, to be cynically objectivist about it, remember that when it comes to interviewing for a job, "oh yeah I know X, nice to talk to, seems sane" is worth 1000x any immaculately-answered coding test.

Yea instead everyone collected trains, had "severe IBS", and were "cross-dressers".

Remember the 1980s when all music had synthesizers, which were co-developed and pioneered by Wendy Carlos, a trans woman?

If we don't rip this ideology out, root and branch, it will metastasize and keep returning in ever more dangerous forms. This is is happening because we abandoned Reconstruction. It's happening because the same ghouls from the Nixon and Reagan administrations are still calling the shots.

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

When working in level design sometimes I spot structural issues. Every individual part works, but the way each interacts with the whole is broken. The best way to fix this is to pull it entirely apart and rebuilt it chunk by chunk. Some chunks get thrown out. Some remade. Some new ones are needed.

I desperately want to spread to the industry- these investors, these executives are not serious people. They get maybe one "good" idea a year. Max. And they get so, SO excited about it. The concept that game devs wake up with decent half-baked ideas flowing out of their ears is terrifying to them.
