Looking into making a giant trackball. Something like 8-10” in diameter. Anyone have references for something like this? Would prefer to use rotary encoders instead of an optical mouse so thinking roller bearings on the underside. Sketch by @just404it.bsky.social

We're overdue for ConEd oversight. We lost power for 48 hours in January and our bill is HIGHER than usual? How do they keep getting away with this? @chiosse.bsky.social @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social i'm sure we're not the only ones affected by loss of revenue due to ConEd's negligence.

Alright Casty it’s time to visit the big stable in the sky

Best gas masks

In late 2025 @mag-indiearcade.bsky.social teamed up with @arcadecommons.org to run a game jam called Flip Out - games made using 5 toggle switches. This is the second alt.ctrl game jam following 2024's Lever Up jam. You can play the games made from this jam here: itch.io/jam/flip-out

Planning another spring break trip and doing my usual embarrassing google search

It’s a dungeon crawler morning at MAGFest @brin.town @mossmouth.bsky.social @tigerthelion.bsky.social

Seems like a good time to pull this out again

Saw a review from @aftermath.site for the Echo Mini mp3 player and I’m excited to get back to iPod life. This feels like the best way to move away from Spotify, plus all of us geriatric millennials have huge music libraries from the early 00s already

Just got word that the toilet at @wonderville.nyc is clogged. If I start plunging at 11:55….

We're looking back on another great year - 2025 had so many great events and games. Here's our year in review www.wonderville.nyc/2025wrap

Something I love about @wonderville.nyc is the interesting ways we find solutions to seemingly simple problems. We lost the remote to the projector in the bar and can't seem to find a replacement, so we launched a server and now have a web app to turn the projector on and off via localhost.

Stranger Things character: He’s going on a crawl. Through the underground. Kinda like a dungeon. You could say he’s a… *looks directly at the camera* Dungeon Crawler

Best pinball spot in NYC

Zohran caught in LIES: Mamdani claims to have "loved Final Fantasy III" when he was growing up. yet research indicates that the game he played was in fact the SIXTH Final Fantasy game

It’s unbelievably hard to buy a dumb monitor. I’m searching for a 55” monitor with HDMI that turns on automatically and doesn’t connect to the internet or have any apps. Just play the signal. Do these even exist anymore?

Thinking about how many mistakes I've made during fabrication that could have been "memorable" or "distinctive"

The crowning experience of Playdate Season One, Ratcheteer is coming soon in a reimagined "DX" flavor—in FULL COLOR!

Wow it even has fake writers from a fake magazine from 30 years ago with a meta narrative tying the article together. A+ work here by @marioprime.bsky.social

I've played one game for the entirety of 2025 and now it's out on the Switch.

The dichotomy over being in super clean and efficient Japan vs the shitshow happening in the states is so glaring. We live in such a mess of a country and the bottom has yet to fall out.

ICE crossed a line in LA
