My nana was the last family member I personally came out to. She was a lifelong catholic. When I told her I was trans, she told me, “God gives us all our own journeys. God made you trans and that’s beautiful. Who would I be to have an issue with the gift God has given you?”

We all literally, LITERALLY just watched NASA fly four absolute all-stars the farthest any human has ever been from Earth and back flawlessly, and yet we're still continuously forced to pretend Musk's bullshit catastrophe factory is the future of human space exploration

A particularly entertaining flaw in the Super Smash Bros. Melee programming is Bowser Floor Blindness, where Bowser regularly forgets that his Fire Breath affects the floor in front of him.

I want to think deeply about my game's logic with my slow human brain, and lovingly craft every detail. I don't want to move fast and break things, I want to move slow and fix things.

this is a state sponsored children's torture camp

This has been said to death but I'll just say it again: if you're in the creative arts space stop calling your art "content". Call it "work"! Calling your art "work" shows it's the result of time and skill. "Content" makes something sound like it has no purpose other than to take up space.

Experimental post: The Time 5-Year-Old Supper Mario Broth Thought Luigi Was a Cryptid I share a story from my personal life about the first time I encountered Luigi at the age of 5. Due to a combination of factors, I was unprepared for him and ended up believing he was a cryptid.

Extremely funny and telling that he falls back on "I might have said that some are asking it" because he can't keep track of when he does his little plausible deniability trick.

Never let anyone talk you out of a quick 2 day game jam. Those 4 months will be the best 3 years spent releasing a commercial game of your life

I was skeptical the new "custom AI movies" thing was going to work, but I tried it last night and there, on screen, was Spiderman banging my wife. Later we watched a Tom Cruise film and he too banged my wife. And when we put on an old Marx Brothers movie, all of them were going to town, on my wife

Have you ever noticed that the massive, coordinated, multi-year assault on trans rights is based on NOTHING WHATSOEVER

no journalists were present. feel bad for the waiters

You’d think!! But nope, the technical advisor for Bluesky dipped their phone into the pool to cool it off and then was surprised when it stopped working

No matter where you go, all travel is just dumplings and castles

i love starting with "lots of strange reactions to this game" and following that up with the strangest reaction yet

come on man.

advertising technology in the 1990s: look at this “website” you can “surf”. it has an image of a cat on it advertising technology in the 2020s: you must adopt this now or die. we are going to completely kill you if you don’t download this app immediately

Joanne closed her helpline for single parents right around when she announced she'd be donating heavily to anti-trans causes. They closed because of lack of funding. She's a billionaire. She doesn't care about "single mums". www.gingerbread.org.uk/our-work/new...

my biggest pet peeve around LLMs is when people (usually those invested in its success) call it “intelligent”. it definitionally, how it functions on a base level, is not intelligent. the way LLMs are built, it can never hit real intelligence. it’s just predictive

wrote in my notebook today: "porn game?"

new tomodachi is the best shit ever even if it was fucked up when sol badguy clocked my wife

I just don't understand how we've managed to get ourselves into a place where having a home - something I would have as a child seen as a baseline - is felt as an enormous position of privilege, something you spend half your life working for and still can only achieve with help or luck.

Weaster is here! 🐣

speaking of nyt headlines, holy shit

Oh my god PLEASE microchip your puppygirls, it's so irresponsible not to

I love this one dearly, shoutouts little ghoulie

This rings hollow, Mr Mayor, when the city’s hospitals are illegally shuttering their trans care programs and you refuse to comment on that, answer questions about it, or take any actions to stop it. Paying lip service to fighting for trans lives isn’t the same as actually doing it.

all the people who don't like kings should not like capitalism too for the same reasons

i love how the concept of 'baggage' works in this world, where saying some mediumly rude thing on a livestream sometime is treated as cause for permanent political exile, but actual concrete political support for the mass slaughter of civilians in gaza is fine. mandatory, even

To save space, the eyes on the Thwomp's face texture in Super Mario Galaxy are, in a manner both inventive and disconcerting, stored inside his mouth.

THIS IS WHY THEY MAKE IT ANNOYING TO SHARE SCREENSHOTS AND VIDEOS...

We need to set up some sort of network to provide trans girls with pants or skirts or shorts or whatever because I see so many posts on here where trans girls are looking for bottoms and it always breaks my heart :(

'find themselves' in a situation eh. what a pickle they find themselves in! completely by random chance i imagine

if you watch and support the new harry potter show you are funding trans genocide globally by the way

It was surreal living through the 2000s, seeing gamers insist that video games were art to fight against the Jack Thompsons of the world who saw them as nothing but dangerous toys, and then going into the 2010s where you'd get harassed for attempting basic artistic analysis of any games at all

i guess those celebrating soras death didnt get the memo that some of us need daily personalized greetings from james bond—for mental health

just know that if you engage with harry potter in any form i'm judging you

when im in a shitty healthcare system competition and my opponent is the united states government

if you called these people stupid over the last 10 years you would get lectured about how they’re little babies with zero agency that we need to bow down to to win over because wokeness hurt their feelings

the way ive installed my ssd could hardly be jankier if i tried, but shes in!

This happened in under 10 hours

It is important I get 8,294,400 pixels (4K) at 120 frames a second. Otherwise it just doesn’t feel real. It is ok if half of those pixels are just kinda guesses based on zettabytes of YouTube and pornhub my graphics card watched

Trying to get back my hacked insta account has me feeling like I'm Odysseus trying to return to Ithaca

leaders like trump are why sun tzu had to write a bunch of advice like "don't write your enemy a letter detailing what tactics you really don't want them to do"

worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.
