I rewrote the game me, @dom2d.bsky.social, and dualryan.com made 12 years ago and got #1 on Ludum Dare 27. It was originally written in Haxe/Flash. Now presented as a self contained 3MB HTML file: fserb.com/gamejams/ld27/ Enjoy.

🚨The most important graph in the world has another year of data, and it doesn't look good!🚨 NASA CERES satellites measure how much sunlight Earth absorbs and how much heat is radiated back to space. The difference is heat accumulation, which has more than tripled!

I called this out 10 months ago.

of course! :) I'll be in the UK at some point in the next few months. We should hang out. :)

The cognitive dissonance needed to write those two sentence in sequence and not notice what you just did.

"We have, in Western society, managed to simultaneously botch the dreams of democracy, capitalism, social coherence, and techno-utopianism, all at once. It's embarrassing actually. I am embarrassed. You should be embarrassed."

Ooooh is your internet broken. Did someone's immaterial web of financial speculation and surveillance turn out to have a failure point in material infrastructure

I may be a bit late to the boat-hype-train, but Niri is amazingly good. It does exactly what I want it to do all the time. Also, scrollable is a better metaphor than tiling.

I want to announce I've just bought one my paintings for 1 Trillion Dollars using one of my games as exchange. I am, as of today, the best payed artist and game developer in the history of mankind.

This is turning out really amazing! :)

softpower is more sustainable and stronger than hardpower. Giving up all your softpower so you can feel the hardpower is not only a sign of extreme insecurity but is deeply stupid.

You may ask yourself what could be worse than giving up 80 years of US softpower because of a non-existent trade deficit? So here's your answer: giving it up to feed your narcissistic ego-trip of "strong negotiator". This was the biggest loss of power we have experienced in our lifetime. Uncanny.

The thing people don't get about the Infinite Monkey Theorem (a monkey with infinite time will eventually type Shakespeare's work), is that the reverse is also true. Given infinite monkeys, one of them will sit down and start typing Shakespeare right away. In fact, this has already happened.

Ecology without class struggle is just gardening. Climate change without class struggle is just meteorology.

They could be building museums, modern cathedrals. They could be the new Medicis. They could be developing a new modernity. But instead, we get this MMA golden-chained Ketamine-induced influencer shallow bro-ism. Misery has many forms.

Indiana Jones and The Great Circle suffers from the AAA plague. There is a great game there, diluted in the middle of garbage filler. Everything that happens after China weakens it: embarrassingly bad puzzles, bad story, underdeveloped locations. AAAs: a shorter game would have been better.

I got a live a version of this explanation a few months ago. And I left in awe of how much Lea thought about this and the UX crafting that make tons of difference in how users respond to surveys.

It is melancholic when the best public policy a government can think of is "let's cut the sales tax on video games". The public sphere in its Turin Horse days. The darkness creeping in. The slow starving demise. Not worth of anything.

C'est à la frontière qu'on perd l'âme.

“I found a bug in your rendering code”. Yeah, sorry, I was not completely successful at explaining colors to sand.

as a friend said, let's just call this The Elon Musk Award and vote for the second worst person in tech.

In US politics, nobody is able to talk outside of the schismogenesis anymore. Being the only conversation available, every speech can only be contextualized as part of it. There are no issues anymore, only sides.

If Netflix cancels The Diplomat after this S2 cliffhanger, I'm going to radicalize.

Cabel seems such a great guy. Do yourself a favour and watch this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Df_K...

For those who may still wonder why some of us insist on calling it the “criminal LEGAL system,” not “justice.” DAs pressure a man to plead guilty to a rape they already KNEW HE DID NOT COMMIT, withholding the DNA they KNEW exonerated him. 13 YEARS in prison. My GOD.

@nicolesullivan.bsky.social tried to reach out to you on whatsapp, and bluesky doesn't let me DM you. Let me know when/if you can chat! :)

There are two reasonable outcomes: people going to jail OR we collective agree that most academia and research are cons. It either maters or it doesn't.

There should be an investigation for each research that received a grant from this group. People should leave in handcuffs. Universities and research centers should have to return the money. Instead, we are going to get another "pressure to publish is so bad, but incentives..."

Neuroscience as a research field has a lot to answer to society. Pre-paradigmatic and post-"oops, sorry, we've been faking our research for the last 30 years". Neuroscience at this point is worse than astrology. At least I don't have to explain to anyone why astrology is a scam.

The fact that there won't be a single person that is going to go to jail for faking research and papers and delaying Alzheimers and Parkinson research by 30 years is baffling.

The web on iOS is persistently broken for anyone trying to do anything more than display text and images (and sometimes even then), which wouldn't be a problem if Apple allowed browser competition. But they don't. Ergo, the App Store is the only game in town. webventures.rejh.nl/blog/2024/histor…

For the past few weeks I've been working on a post (now a series) that investigates what JavaScript-based frontend development has done to government digital services in the US. Today, Part 1: The Landscape infrequently.org/2024/08/the-land…

O NPTO sempre manda muito bem, mas aqui mandou melhor

Parabéns a Folha por essa manchete. A morte quase consensual. A brecha pra reconhecer as grandes atuações do teatro brasileiro entre 1500 e 1700. A dupla adversativa. Não é possível.

r/puzzles is not amused about this one, but I had a lot of fun. b64 answer: MTY0MjIxMjExMQ==

The pro Tetris scene had to start patching the original game to prevent infinite matches, as folks have been able to sustain games indefinitely beyond what used to be considered the "killscreen" (level 29). The meta change? New NES controller techniques (hypertapping and now rolling). Crazy.

Bricked my N65 Milkshake tonight :( Failure during QMK flash (It said done at 70%). Keyboard doesn't connect anymore, haven't been able to hard reset. :(
