thinking about the convo i will have with whoever is behind the counter at the indoor skate park tomorrow. "I'm going to teach myself how to drop in today, and my brain keeps giving me a huge roadblock. can you play some loud music? like, I need something that would send Naruto into a coma."

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

Artists, I think we're all too comfortable sharing our imposter syndrome. I would love to see you step out of your comfort zone and confidently state what you think you're actually really good at. No self deprecation, just what you think you're the strongest at Is anyone brave eniough? 👀

I keep writing posts this morning and then deleting them. I don’t have words for this moment. Minnesota is under siege and it’s worsening by the day. Please don’t forget about us, please continue to share the videos of what’s happening, and please be kind to our immigrants. They are not ok.

one of the most effective weapons we have against fascism is mockery, especially when its really funny

Have hobbies and interests outside of art. your brain needs to be fed for you to feel inspired. sitting in front of an empty canvas won’t inspire you. read books, take photos, play games, cook something special, learn random things, watch bad movies, get into botany or something. feed your brain!

Going to need gas money again. Had to drive the 2 hrs to my mom's yesterday and 2 hrs back to give the kids their devices for e-learning. I have no days off this week and don't get paid until thurs/fri. $danirockasota V: djamiempls

brand-new TMBG song if you call (844) 387-6962 btw 🥰

The priest in ep 17 of Outlaw Star sounds like Russel Nelson. Timbre, cadence, the whole thing.

If you want to give me a birthday present, please help my cousin with a terminal brain tumor get to Germany for some experimental treatment. (Link in reply because Bluesky marks these links as spamish)

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003 when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

If you cared about teenagers' mental health, you'd be campaigning for more skate-parks and cycle-paths, subsidised music courses and access to sports-centres, rather than moaning about smartphones.

If only there was as much effort put into improving youth services, making sports, arts and crafts available and affordable, and making the physical environment more 'teen-friendly' as there is for banning kids from social media or taking their phones away.

Yesterday I started working on a live shader editor for #Godot, if that's something you're interested in, let me know! #gamedev #indiedev

Wish Godot resources could be INHERITED like scenes can? I hacked together an addon that lets you do exactly that. Just add inherited_resource.gd to any resource, point it at a base resource of same type, and you're set! Grab it here: codeberg.org/MajorMcDoom/... #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev

Why does the English voice actor for Gene Starwind sound like Liam Layton? (the nutrtition guy that’s all about beans)

If you do see a traumatic video by accident, please make sure to immediately do something to help your brain, like TETRIS. (Yes, seriously.) TETRIS has been shown to help mitigate the mental effects of trauma because it intervenes in traumatic memory formation. www.psych.ox.ac.uk/news/tetris-...

You can spread the word without watching traumatic footage. You can support causes and movements without subjecting yourself to harm in this way. You can’t fight for a better world by making yourself ill. You’re only hurting yourself. Please look after your brain. It’s the only one you’ve got.

You, an ordinary person reading this, likely have not been trained to handle seeing awful things. Even seeing something once is enough to leave an impact on you that will probably last a lifetime. Do not compromise your own health for the sake of ‘witnessing’. It helps nobody. It hurts you.

It’s giving

Watching outlaw star and this is the 2nd time Hilda has died and it’s only episode 4. I feel a Dr Who trope coming on

“RAM값이 4배이상으로 미쳐돌아가는 이유: 산술적으로 실현 불가능한 이윤을 만들고, 실존하지 않는 수요를 만족시키기 위해 존재하질 않을수도 있는 인프라를 통해 돌리야하고; 지어지지 않은 데이터센터에 쓰일 만들어지지 않은 GPU에 쓰일 만들어지진 않은 메모리칩 제조 계약을 AI 회사들이 존재하지 않는 돈으로 따냈기 때문” 하… 자본주의 진짜…

“Where do you feel the pain in your body?” I cannot stress this enough: everywhere.

I'm really working to make Wild Cosmos a polished experience and hope players will notice. If you like what I make, simply sharing it around helps greatly. I don't have a dedicated budget for the game, I'm making it in my free time, this game could be my stepping stone for future projects.

I have been as impressed by the normal people of this country as I have been disgusted by elite institutions and every bit of optimism I have that we are going to make it comes from that

ruin them, friends.

Discord wants to know how you feel about AI. Go tell them: discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

kaiju wisdom 🙇

the discourse on what jobs are acceptable to replace with generative AI reveals a lot about what we think of other people's jobs

"what are the charts doing ?!? why are thry switchingv what are thru following? i dont get how why the sont is charted like this" simple. the answer is simple. the chart isn't a follower to the parts of the song. the chart is an additional instrument.

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice: www.pentadact.com/2026-01-08-1... I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

hi- I'm a 3d animator with extensive experience in Maya and Blender, working in TV, film, and games! If you or someone you know is hiring for a 3d animation position, please email me ([email protected]) or pass this along to your talent folks! 🤩 Thank you so much!

The only way forward is the complete DeNazification of the Republican Party & the American government. War tribunals for every ICE agent & disqualification from office + lengthy prison sentences for fascist collaborators at all levels of government. Do not consider a 2028 nominee who opposes this.

An absolutely remarkable statement. I’ve never seen anything like it.

what u have to understand is that working on my novel, answering dms, and answering emails all cost 1 spell slot but posting? Posting is a cantrip

#godot enthusiasts! I was messing around with @quaternius.bsky.social lil pals models and made a script to randomize surface color via palettes! You can set the palette for named materials (hair, skin) or use the surface index. code in alt text. Have fun!!!

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

hey indiedev

I don’t WANT to worry about my internet stability and my room being free from “potential cheating materials” and the possibility of some robot deciding ADHD mannerisms mean I deserve to auto-fail. I want to drive to a weird office park I didn’t know existed and do it on their computer.

Do it.

If any stats people have feedback on how to set up a feasible experiment (can I have authors self report their own changes? Do I share a different book every time? how many do I need?) I would love to hear it. I’d like to do a paper on the effect of social media on book sales

Do one thing when you can and only when you can. Wars are first and foremost psychological. First we find stillness. Then we act.
