Rogue.site is now a reality! Thank you to everyone along the way who helped make it possible. If you like what you see, and want more of it. Consider pledging your support with a subscription. Your funds will go to support independent games journalism written by humans, for humans.

down a rabbit hole of watching game dev videos to build up inspo :)

humans sealed our fate when we started working with computers to design languages more and more like our own. the computers learned our grammar, our vocabulary, yes. but they learned our rhetoric, the malleability of meaning. we gave the machines our words, and they used them to lie.

is it possible to search across posts from people i follow, or even mutual follows?

wrote about HTML Day and how handmade websites give me hope! kayserifserif.place/posts/2025/h...

this #HTMLDay in Boston, we gathered in the park and met a lot of cool people!! one very fun thing we did was hand-write a collaborative website on a big piece of paper. see the results here :) boston-html-day.neocities.org/collab thanks to everyone who came out! feeling grateful and inspired <3

have some follow-up stuff i want to do from html day but things are busyyyy

tomorrow! gathering some materials... ✳️

I wrote up a protocol for running art + activism events like Climate Change Crafting Night. We need more community, & we need people feeling empowered to take action and not just curl up in a despondent ball. Help them find the energy with art & community! Protocol: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

how do you find new video games to play? (indie/small/mid-size)

In between our other projects, we continue working on Rowboat, our tool for instantly making sense of very large datasets. Lots of this work has been led by @kayserifserif.place who just wrote up several of the new features: fathom.info/notebook/250...

I spent the holiday weekend coming to grips with the Eleventy SSG as a non-dev with rudimentary skills. I documented my journey and tried to do what I hadn't seen done elsewhere: actually explain the darn thing. I warmed up to it after a while. A bit. skep.place/misc/eleventy/ @11ty.dev #smallweb

📝 i find it interesting and helpful to imagine a framing through which to talk about the myriad but rhyming ideas i'm interested in. wrote about this latest framing :) kayserifserif.place/posts/2025/c...

We're immensely proud of the work we're able to do with @pardissabeti.bsky.social and the Sentinel team at @sabetilab.bsky.social in building systems to get ahead of viral outbreaks, like the mpox outbreak unfolding in Sierra Leone now. Read more in this latest article: time.com/7291478/sier...

1/ 📚 Today we're sharing something we've been working on since 2019: an oral history of how the U.S. Digital Service came to be. Nearly 50 conversations with the people who were there from 2009-2015, telling their stories in their own words. 🧵

big things coming for rowboat.xyz! it's been hard to keep on top of socials since we're such a small team and we're juggling different things. but the tool feels better and better as we test it with different kinds of data and figure out where dead ends or pain points are. i'm excited!!

there's no easy way to say this. i'm afraid you have multitudes

thinking about being interested in youth/online/meme subculture; being a young/online person; aging; generations (and the concept of generational differences in things like humour and linguistics);

Rather than covering the site with ads or going full-on Patreon, I'm trying out Ko-fi as a way for people to casually support my work on usesthis.com, even though I feel *incredibly* awkward asking people for money. ko-fi.com/waferbaby

new little post up on the personal site™️ about how there can and should be joy in alt text :) bryn.codes/writing/the-...

🪶 Happy Big Migratory Bird Day!! Today, if you can, spend some time making spaces around you more bird-friendly, and reporting birds you see & hear so scientists can know how bird populations are changing and migrating. Here’s how to do this!! 🧵 1/n
