fractal overthinking

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance However, they are weaker than they look…

idk if people are wondering why I keep saying “my autoimmune disease” instead of “celiac” but the reason is I think lots of people, including me pre diagnosis, think celiac is a tummyache after eating and not an autoimmune disease that destroys your body’s ability to get nutrients from food

sometimes you break off a friendship because it's for the best but you still really miss that person years later. how fucked up is that!!! i'm very happy with my circle of friends, yet i think i will miss this person for the rest of my life

Oh also, here's a couple of work in progress screenshots. Why is the truck this cute? Why not?

Sometimes you just accept things as a part of your day to day, so take a second and say out loud... "We're making a game called Truck-kun is Supporting Me From Another World?! where you play the truck in an Isekai story." You can think "...hell yeah..." if you like! It's coming out next year!

Just saw this great post again and it reminded me of my old beef against "spoilers don't matter, a good film isn't spoilable": The timing with which information is revealed is important in every movie! It's as much a part of the art as dialogue or lighting,it matters at least as much as aspect ratio

Oh thank goodness. It looks like it actually is possible to disable Gmail/Google Docs' AI nonsense with a non-Workspace account. I'm sick of AI getting crammed into every product in the stupidest ways possible, and Google's one of the worst offenders. Info here: www.zdnet.com/article/how-...

Canada Post “lost” 1 billion dollars last year? How about, “it cost Canadians 1 billion dollars to have a national postal service” which works out to costing about $25 a year per person (population of Canada in 2024 = 40 million). Seems like a pretty reasonable cost to me.

Made me smile: Waiting at a red light, I see a tough looking guy smoking cigarettes at a run-down depanneur. He spots a squirrel approaching, so he quickly dips into the dep to buy a muffin, comes out and crouches down to share it with the critter. 🐿️

I was saying to a friend, "I'm kinda amazed my daughters came running when I told them my friend died. Guess they suddenly got scared of losing me. How'd I luck out with them? I'm so blessed." "Dude, you did that." ...Oh. Try to live better. Your community will be better for it.

I really dislike my provincial government. Lots and lots. There's just this thread of bigoted rot running through it in the name of purity.

Ppl who act like AI is an innocuous neutral tool need to see the reality of what it actually does, who wields it and how it's used to reframe the narrative, sow distrust and discourse and push hate while pretending it's unbiased fact.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Eille le Québec pour vrai, on se réveille, arrêtez ces niaiseries-là 😑 Osti que j'ai hâte qu'on en finisse avec la CAQ

Dude I'm not even a NSFW artist and I think it in all its forms should have a place here because there is no way in hell some mod or 3rd party auto solution is gonna ever get it "right". People can already curate their feeds and they have some moderation tools, who is all that stuff really harming

People acting like Disney being fascist is new should go back and read the company’s history. Disney himself was a Nazi-sympathizer and only got into the US propaganda film game because he was also a staunch Nationalist. Before that he literally hosted dinner parties for Nazis.

Jesus Christ. A standing ovation — from Liberals too — for Charlie Kirk in the Canadian House of Commons. You can (and should) oppose political violence without doing all this, you know.

As we discuss social media presences, posts, and whatnot? This video was great for explaining what these "data deletion" services actually do, and provided alternative options that are free and actually effective.

As we chaotically figure out how to respond to some of the current events...Don't stop making art. Don't stop writing. Don't stop creating. Even if you have to hold it tight to your chest for safety, it's okay. You can share it publicly when you're safe.

I have been thinking about this post for three days. all timer

I may take a *few* liberties with human anatomy from time to time in our indie games.

We live in a society, let's take care of our neighbours, literally and figuratively

Last year I shared something I admired about Montreal: The developments of multiple sponge parks, designed for community space and to help retain water during flooding season, which is getting worse thanks to global warming. I think they're neat! Someone made a video compilation about 'em:

I love this analytical take on video game categorization from Antoine Mayerowitz and Julie Belzanne: hushcrasher.substack.com/p/taxonomy-o... Instead of trying to vibe-intuit the definition of an "indie" game, the authors analyzed the data from the perspective of game size and credits length

DAY 1 LET'S GO!

A good time to remind everyone

That is not to suggest all violence is equal. Violence comes in many forms, and should be judged on its necessity, the power dynamics at play, and the precision of it: not by the influence or wealth or fame or political reach of the person or persons it is committed against.

"Political violence" is a term that exists to suggest a moral distinction between "violence against politicians" and "violence by politicians" - so that one can be condemned while the other can be normalized. Obviously, no such distinction exists in reality: violence is violence.
