Hello everyone! I’ve excited to announce the official release of Rito, a brand new social bookmarking service built on the AT Protocol 🎉 rito.blue/en With Rito, you can quickly save and share websites, articles, and blog posts you find interesting on the web.

Reached my biggest milestone so far today: #vibbles are now able to actually play midi notes on their chosen instrument! I can listen to them in Bitwig! Only took 2 months and ~5500 lines of code 😅 #gamedev #cpp #audioprogramming

They should do it anyway for the environmental benefits.

compiles & runs 😵 actually a milestone! #vibbles

time for another abstraction

I really hate the term "sideloading". I preferred the original term, which was "installing software on a computer that you own"

Spent 2 weeks designing a concurrent architecture for my vibbles that I won’t need for at least another year. With the design book next to me open at “avoid premature optimisation” the whole time 🥲 #gamedev #cpp

marblophone! free download, mac/pc. tapesclub.itch.io/marblophone i’ve demoed this at a couple conferences but happy to finally release a build (uses the #unrealengine motion graphics tools, so wasn’t possible until 5.6). try it out and lemme know what you think 🥂

Hello @bsky.app. we are Norfolk Ponds Project - a science-led partnership NGO focused on pond restoration & #ghostpond ressurection. We aim to educate, lobby & inspire others on ponds. We used to Tweet & had 5000+ followers. ***Please follow & help us achieve the same here***!!!

Well, the greatest GamesCom 2025 moment has already happened - Limited Run games has announced He-Man and the Masters of the Universe: Dragon Pearl of Destruction a 2D brawler based on the classic cartoon. It better have the original music and Adam ➡️ He-Man transformation sequence

lost in concurrency

How do you talk about “classic” AI these days? My project leans heavily on autonomous agents and procedural generation, but it’s all handcrafted algorithms, no ML involved. How do I convey this effectively? Any fresh new words I could use since the old ones have been hijacked? #gamedev #ai

Integrated Ableton Link. Vibbles can say their names on the beat now.

I wrote a thread safe message bus so the vibbles can talk to each other, and it’s only taken me a week 🥲

An absolutely fantastic talk www.youtube.com/watch?v=wo84...

If I want to commission a pixel artist, where is the best place to browse different styles and portfolios? #pixelart #commission

don't forget to vibe security audit your vibe code

power beyond comprehension

Back at the stage of docs, diagrams, and sketches now, assembling my C++ stack (bye Python!) Current front runners are #juce for audio/midi and #godot for UI, running in parallel and communicating via bus. Has anyone tried a setup like this?

My Vibbles prototype has done its job. I’m ready to put it aside and rebuild everything from scratch; properly this time.

Back to work on the Vibbles, finally! Had to take a several months long break to finish something else.

new version of godot minimal theme is out! it has redesigned tabs and a lot of small fixes ✨ github.com/passivestar/...

This is a pretty good headline

Nice one Grok

Have you considered porting your #GodotEngine game to consoles? @w4games.com offers high quality middleware for all current generation consoles, making it easy to target console platforms just like you would with desktop or mobile. My DMs are open if you have any questions :)

Still Life Study! 🍇#pixelart

How does everyone deal with saving/collecting music that is available only on #YouTube or #Bandcamp, #Soundcloud etc.? These tracks never make it into my rotation, which is mostly Spotify. I don’t mind using maybe a second app/site, but not 5… I’d love to be able to aggregate it all somehow.

I just released the Museum of All Things version 1.0!!! You can find it at mayeclair.itch.io/museum-of-al...

UI sketch is getting there. #Godot #Python

My #Python improv engine now has a (very basic) #Godot frontend. I can finally watch the Vibbles play. #gamedev #audio

After spending almost a week on mindlessly trying to recreate a C++ pattern in Python with limited success, I’ve finally looked at the Python docs and of course there’s an easy & pythonic way to achieve what I wanted in a couple lines of code… 😑

I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky

Reading up on software design patterns again and they all just seem to be subtle variations of maybe 5 original ideas?

it is darkly funny to me that twitter ended up being real life after all

Not sure how I deserve the honour, but it is a huge one to me nonetheless: @mollena.bsky.social followed me. Welcome (back) to BlueSky Mollena, I hope you’re here to stay. You are an inspiration. Sending the very best wishes to you and your husband from Berlin!

“He gave me the time to realize just one click, on film. This picture is once in lifetime, the man with the tricorn hat disappeared into nothingness. Maybe he has been drowned into time, I’ve never seen him again.” —Pietro De Albertis ytali.com/2019/06/15/p... #Venice #Venezia #interview

OG Sonic. Love it.

Became curious & listened to this for the first time (not an American). While “falling” to the parallel minor there surely makes for a nice illustration, you guys must also have heard of Bach? If you want harder-hitting, check out literally any part of the 6 cantatas from his Christmas oratory.
