There’s an objectively correct answer to this question and it’s from a video game and I’m tired of anyone pretending it’s anything other than the one we all know it is

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Quit waving people through intersections when you have the right-of-way. It isn't nice, nice would be you actually following fucking traffic laws

#devtober day 5. Finally got to a point where I'm not just setting up architecture and moving around a grid of dots. (Sadly, "embedding Lua in my game" isn't particularly screenshottable.)

fascinating that "no, the computer is not alive" and "yes, it's questionable to gleefully say anti-computer phrases modeled after racial slurs" are two thoughts people are struggling to reconcile

The commonly cited AI water usage statistics are based on a methodology where, if your data center buys green energy from a hydroelectric dam (as lots do, including the hyperscalers), then “natural evaporation of the water from the lake behind the dam” is counted as that data center’s water use.

Conservatives in Omelas wondering if maybe they could be even happier by tossing some more kids in the hole

Do we see how much more effective this is at making the argument for what is good about cities by *showing it* rather than simply standing on an apple crate and proclaiming it?

Some numbers I just dropped in one of the threads about "Itch should have already set up a high risk payment processor and been using it": these numbers are from 2010, but to the best of my knowledge have not substantially changed.

i think there might be nothing more corrosive to my wanting to make or facilitate games or art or resources or be involved in anything than when the people with the most need for mutual support tear each other down more viciously than the worst trolls ever bother to i ain't got antibodies for this

still rattled by the sheer giddy glee with which some queers are coming for itch.io, one of the largest collections of queer games in existence. i know it's scary to accept, but we do actually have good things worth defending. we have things it would damage us to lose

If I could go the rest of my life without reading the word “slop” again it’d be too soon.

my actual real take on takeout is that in my life I have cooked much more often when I have more free time, I'm less depressed or stressed, I have more money, or I am living somewhere more walkable and maybe we could stop and think about the implications of that

I for one would like to stop being trapped in a Matt Groening panel from 1996

It truly sucks that you could spend your entire life not using this credit company or that payment processor, and still they could walk in and dictate how and where you can spend your money

ウマ娘のこの勢いほんと好き

If your response to hearing that a bunch of people died in a flash flood is anything other than heartbreak and compassion I think you might be the baddies

It's so crazy how the comics, animation, and video games industries are wildly popular billion dollar profit type shit and yet there is no money and no jobs for the people who make that possible

People outside the games industry don't grasp that this is absolutely unheard of. Workers don't get royalties, and we definitely don't get performance bonuses. When we make a hit game we sometimes just get laid off

trans rights btw this isn't up for debate

I think this is happening in no small part because "an education" is treated entirely as a commodity. It's not a thing you want for its own sake, it's the thing you need to have to even begin to be able to apply to entry-level positions and secure ANY kind of income or chance of upward mobility.

We can't save the world with games, but we can be part of why it is worth saving. We can't save the world with art, but we can brighten it. We can't save the world with play, but we can be a reminder of our humanity. We can't save the world with joy, but we can be a reprieve before the fight.

So, I got roped into a conversation about violence and games, and I decided to explain why A) games are not art (hehe), B) violence is good, and C) there are a lot of problems facing nonviolent games, but I'm sure someone can figure them out docseuss.medium.com/people-alway... please enjoy!
