I want to make sure everybody who likes cars knows that Evo magazine is still on bluesky. They have fewer than 200 followers! If you like fancy automobiles, give them a look~

Hey @bulkpaint.bsky.social I was mis-remembering some Hi-Octane anecdotes. But you were there! mastodon.gamedev.place/@TomF/116916...

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

It’s time to simplify shift patterns.

This is a really useful post about what you need to know about Cyclospora. I learned things. You will too

It's one thing to be an ignorant asshole. It's quite another to know what is wrong and bad, to make impassioned public speeches about it, to be paid by the public to stand behind those words, and to then go back on the very words you spoke, and ride the grift.

Mitch then Lindsey. Come on fate, let's go for the trifecta!

okay I think I have made the best webgpu wind line LOD system I can. continuous adding / subtracting of lines to maintain screen space density rather than discrete LOD levels, morphing when changing wind layers

Went to a car show today and saw a Lotus Evora with a Really Big Wing. License plate was "OMGBEKY", and printed on the plate surround was "look at her butt". Don't think I've ever seen a car pass the Bechdel test before.

Bringing one of the best tweets of all time over to Bluesky in honour of the Three Lions QF victory

As the descendant of Anglo-Celts, I'm not thaaaaat happy with the Norwegians celebrating by rowing. They're not celebrating their victory in the coxed fours, are they? They're celebrating coming over and seducing our women by the dastardly tactic of bathing every week and combing their beards.

There's a joke in the UK about some regions voting for a monkey in a suit if it wore a <insert your party> badge. Maine. Find a monkey. Find one that is neither a rapist nor a Nazi. Really try. Stick it in a suit. That's all you need. My apologies to the monkey. I'm sure you're a lovely person.

Honestly surprised the McConnell family have not yet tried to produce an AI video of Mitch as proof of life. That would be very funny.

I am so tired of people who can't code telling me about how AI helps them code to 1% of the ability of a professional, which sure is 10x for them. It's like me telling people that the invention of music theory will make actual musicians obsolete because now I, too, can write chords that sound OK.

that's right youtu.be/QJURjF51LFE

AIs that do stuff for you don't teach you anything. AIs that tell you how to do stuff... eh, maybe you'll learn eventually. AIs that tell you how to find the info you need... ah, that's the good shit. Someone make me an AI that can only reply in LMGTFY phrases. Well, maybe not the "G" part. Sigh.

Please. I didn't like Platner right off the bat. He was clearly a liar and a racist - or at best very stupid. I don't really want to read endless postmortems about how he was hoodwinked by blah blah blah blah. I don't care, and the whole thing just makes me sad. One thing it doesn't evoke - is pity.

Puffins in flight. Goodnight Blue Sky

or later it gets too much for a 71 year old man in poor health with a fixed view and memories of past glory’s to cope with a deluge of crises. Dictatorships only work when things go well, when they are visibly going badly only one person takes the blame. And yesterday mass roundups began in some

Of course this BS exists, but thank goodness we have heroes like Kitboga out there fighting the good fight This is literally some sci-fi movie insanity, literally that scene where Bender defeats Santa-bot in Futurama with a logical puzzle www.youtube.com/watch?v=lk3j...

I was looking at articles about the amazing Kelsey Pfendler who rowed from California to Hawaii faster than anyone else, and this one rather jumped out. This is in Good Morning America, part of ABC.

I get it. If Totenkopf Platner finally stands down, who will replace him at such short notice? You ideally need an experienced politician who can woo the right-leaning crowd, but still to the left of the US center. Well as it happens, the British have a chap who just resigned who would be perfect...

It has been criminally underreported but Kelsey Pfendler has just rowed solo across the Pacific Ocean from the US coast to Hawaii in record time. A 2,400-mile unsupported journey in 43 days, 17 hours, and 55 minutes. Notably beating the Men’s record by 9 whole days.

Unfortunately, a stunned Paris is how they all got into this whole mess to begin with

In case you missed it, here's Count Binface's appearance on the BBC this morning.

One of the memorable policies he previously put forward was banning sale of pre shredded cheese. His stated goal was to make Britain Grate Again.

The story is even worse than the headline suggests. Literally everyone involved is twelve, but also extremely corrupt.

game devs: what are the myths that a lot of players of games think are true about making games that are completely untrue? If you could snap your fingers and they suddenly all knew the truth about it what would it be?

Somehow, not The Onion.

I’m so sorry for everyone at id Software affected by these layoffs. I know what it feels like to leave id while id goes on. It’s a strange and painful thing to step away from a place that holds so much of your work, friendships and history. 1/5

Can’t make this up

Once again, I am just a small-town international relations professor, standing here, begging our media & our Congress to take our most important signed, ratified international treaty seriously & threats by the One Special Boy to violate it as the presidency-ending scandal that it should have been.

I think of Obama's time when we had erudite people talking about how, sure, things change slowly in this country - because of all the checks and balances. It's the price of a robust system. It's all bullshit. We had no checks and balances. And right up to the end Mitch is going to prove that.

My best advice for any game devs recently laid off is to keep in touch with your closest coworker friends, do a group call at least once a week, share job postings in the chat, hype each other up, and just generally look out for each other.

Oh come on Microsoft. I know you're always jumping on bandwagons, but this is just a triple-jump combo leaping from one bandwagon to the next to the next. New exec, AI, layoffs - all so predictable. And next year she'll get a golden parachute and they'll have to rehire. Meanwhile - misery!
