Burnout is genuinely life-destroying and I really can't say, on this website, what I think should happen to managers who not only let it happen to one individual worker but who systemically make it happen on large groups of workers.

I'm not sacrificing my child's humanity on the altar of

This is a classy post and the absolute correct take for literally any company making games. Accessibility should be as core in development as any other aspect.

I made a tool that makes retro anime sound effects. Meet AnimeVox! I made it for a game, but it's free to use. I'm using the forgotten (but popular in 80s japan) Schroeder reverb algo, and some wobble. If you find it useful consider supporting me on itch :) castpixel.itch.io/animevox

i don't really give a shit if consultants think being anti-ICE is "good messaging" or whatever when people are actively being shot, beat, gassed and jailed.

the problem with an untrained secret police squad that shoots people in their cars isn’t that they’re untrained

Well this morning I was going to say we soft-launched a used bookstore where we're going to try to do small curated drops every month or so but overnight the entire stock sold out so. Uh here's the link I guess

a few years ago a student in office hours told me i seemed like a sigma male and i asked him what that meant and he said it's a guy who is so confident he doesn't care about being an alpha and i said "well i guess in an absolute sense that's true" and he was like "that's such a sigma thing to say"

Something positive: Spry Fox is spinning out of Netflix. We are independent (once again!) and preparing to launch Spirit Crossing. We wrote up a little blog post musing about this wild adventure. Worth sharing the good news. spryfox.com/a-16-year-ol...

Read your comment section, NYT.

i think this gets at something important which is that normal people are rightly pissed off that they’re having normal time stolen from them by this ravaging horde of jumped up mall cops. everybody has to work in the morning! why is it THEIR job to hold their community together in such a basic way!

100% correct

the president has declared war on an american state and the leaders of the opposition wont shut the fuck up about retraining the stormtroopers

“As a reasonable centrist, I think the paramilitary death squads need better training.”

Moderate Democrats blaming the left for every failure they have:

ICE must be abolished. It has become a lawless, rogue agency. Federal law enforcement agencies must follow the law, if they're going to have any credibility enforcing it. We are demanding justice for Renee Good and the prosecution of ICE agent Jonathan Ross for her murder.

Dropkick Murphys are releasing a new song called "Citizen I.C.E." The lyrics go: "Too scared to join the military/ Too dumb to be a cop." consequence.net/2026/01/drop...

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

i could not give one single fuck about immigration and never have my entire life. to care, even in a ‘reasonable’ oh there should be proper checks and balances way is to be, rudely, the dumbest person alive. literally what difference is it to you

Memorial mural in Minneapolis for Renee Good, a 37 year old woman murdered by ICE agents

#PortfolioDay - and a little pitch, may I? I am Alessandro, an italian artist with 15+ years experience in pixels, a penchant for tilesets, top-down view, monsters and adventures! I left my main occupation in movie art dept (set design) in late 2023 to pursue full-time #pixelart. Ch-ch-ch-changes!

Another beautiful day to be evil and crazy (sit quietly and watch a movie)

Slow clap for all the “economic anxiety” pundits, from 2009 to today. You’ve always been clowns.

For non-German speakers: “Dear media, I can’t stand the headline "No agreement between the US and Denmark” any longer. If an armed man storms a bank, you don't run the headline: "Robber and cashier can't reach an agreement on money transfer." Stop framing imperial aggression as normal diplomacy.”

Minneapolis didn’t look like this until ICE showed up. If Trump can deploy these masked killers into this city, he can do it in any city for any reason. They will target you for you skin color, regardless of political affiliation. And they’ve clearly shown that actual citizenship doesn’t matter.

The reason I say “Sweet Baby Inc is a team of Writers & Narrative Designers” so often, is because even people who support us are often under the impression that we are sensitivity consultants. Sensitivity consultants are great, but again, Sweet Baby Inc is a team of Writers & Narrative Designers.

If history cares enough to look back at the nerdzis’ obsessive hatred of Sweet Baby, history will be utterly baffled by such an embarrassing grudge. It might be the stupidest of all their manufactured outrages, one of the most clear cut examples of them getting mad at their own imaginations.

had myself a rare nice day. work was fine, did some solid code work while singing Fall Out Boy and The Beths. started playing Core Keeper with some friends; we all loved it, except for not being able to use dedicated server on ps5. new meds helping. world is a fuck. trying to survive & do my best

maybe senators shouldn't get health coverage as a benefit. send them all to the marketplace to see how bad it is for themselves. go on. lots of them are old, i'm sure they wouldn't be happy with the options and costs they're presented with...

we can't afford nice things in america nice things: - health insurance - groceries - housing - electricity - clean water senate republicans want us to die i guess

DO YOUR HORMONES DO NOT SUCCUMB TO THE HELLWORLD STAY ON YOUR HORMONE SCHEDULE YOU'RE ONLY GONNA GET HOTTER

For people elsewhere who have asked how to support Minnesota while we’re overrun with nazi thugs, here’s an excellent list of places that could use financial help. Lots of choices. Thank you so much! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

I did flipbooks for all of the Animorphs covers I did, but they appeared in black and white and very small, so I am posting them here so you can see them large and in color. No AI here--just Elastic Reality and painting. You can buy a signed print of this cover here: www.etsy.com/listing/884028382

People need to stop asking for permission to hack games... if you ask me for permission I can't say "yup you're 100% legally in the clear to make a homebrew port of my game for [some old console]" but I also absolutely do not care what you do to anything I make and usually think it's cool.

Happening Now: Students have walked out of school and are protesting against ICE in Saint Paul, Minnesota

Remember: The real freeloaders in this country are the rich — not the poor or immigrants or any other group of people vilified as scapegoats. The richest 1% evade $163 billion in taxes every year. The United States literally has yacht and private jet tax deductions. Hello?

i don't want the unpopular geriatric rapist criminal president to start world war 3

But this is all to say that I'm staggered that all of the big hype cycle technologies that have dominated the news since 2020 have these incredibly obvious built in problems with them that absolutely nobody involved seems remotely interested in considering until it's too late

The bigger thing happening over and over again is myopic dolts who think they are geniuses and who have rooked a lot of other people into thinking they're geniuses not considering the consequences of anything.

My big "old man" thing is going to be telling my grandkids that I remember when if a product or service didn't work you could contact someone who works there and they would help you fix it

We're not subtle with all our sassy skeeting about it, but it's probably time for a persistent, official statement about our stance on AI. TL;DR: we know what we're talking about. GenAI is harming creatives. There will be no AI features in Yarn Spinner. yarnspinner.dev/blog/why-we-...

As I am often saying, the central pillar of Cantor Thought is Tarpeian Socialism, the idea that in a society of significant size, the occasional slob is going to rob a 7-11 and that's not great, but whatever, but if you're given power by society and abuse it, we push you off a big rock.

one of the weirdest things about the current moment is how the national media have to pretend like they don't know what this is about. official government social media accounts are posting about racially cleansing America and they have to pretend like it's not clear who the bad guy is.

it remains hard for me to fathom how anyone can devalue the lives of others so much that it leads to these broad-daylight, brutal ice kidnappings we have to keep hoping that simply airing this daily footage will change enough minds to shut the whole thing down but i fear what happens as it goes on

Demonschool just keeps hittin 🤘🏼
