This Japanese article about Helvetica (I know, but it's still popular for some reason) when translated to English turns the katakana for "Helvetica" (ヘルベチカ) into "Helve Chika," which is now my new drag name

Tim Sweeney wants to know why everyone seems to like Ron Swanson but gets angry when he pretends to be him

Oh no I'm starting another Godot project Someone please make a build of this engine that limits the number of games you can have in progress at one time

The loss of continuous institutional knowledge and livelihood. Companies like Epic should value their devs more than this. Execs and billionaire CEOs should take a page from Satoru Iwata and slash their salaries rather than destroy the livelihoods of the devs who have brought them so much success

Sworcery turns 15 today, and we've got a big new feature looking back for the anniversary.

Louder: IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT IF YOU CAN'T FIND WORK. THERE ARE NO JOBS. I know it still hurts but Anna is 1000% correct here.

This Saturday is the very last Lloyd Center yo-yo meetup! It's gonna be a strange one, and definitely worth a visit if you wanna see a bunch of nerds and freaks mourning the passing of our weird little dead mall.

Hey employers: stop asking applicants why they're interested in your company. If someone's genuinely excited about your product, they'll let you know in the interview. You aren't adopting a puppy. Asking desperate job-seekers to put your business on a pedestal will only result in fake enthusiasm.

John Fetterman looks like a keg of beer made a wish to become a real boy and then that boy made a wish to learn long division but the fairy thought he said "I want to make all the wrong decisions"

AH-HOYYY HOYYY 🏴‍☠️I have set me sails for SUNKEN STONES ON DROID SHIP MOBILE!! ☠️📱🤳 LET’S SHOW @spritewrench.com some BIG LOVE! And download it! #gamedev #videogames

Is Airbnb at all in danger of losing its trademark to genericide, or is that only for business names that become colloquial verbs, not nouns?

ICE is never not doing anything. Their very existence is an active threat. Remember the Twitter thread about the bartender kicking out the nazi before they could declare the bar their turf? Now the bar is our country, and we're the ones who need to clear it out.

Time sensitive: this is the last day to submit comments opposing the Bureau of Land Management's clearcutting of Oregon's ancient forests. This is a tool that educates you on just how diabolical it is, and it helps you submit your comment. morethanjustparks.com/oregon-old-g...

This weirdo went on a little subskeet rant after complaining at me for that post about fireworks. Pretty cool how he can guess my political stance based on the fact that I have empathy for animals. Wonder if he can guess my favorite cartoon based on my hair color next?

Been working on AutoTile for GridMap in godot, and I think it is time to share the result. It works the same as AutoTile in Tilemap 2D, but you don't need to create 256 unique tiles in this case. Check it out here: github.com/damarindra/g... #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev

No fireworks when it happens. Our dogs need to be able to celebrate with us.

The Experimental Games Showcase team goes through over a hundred submissions every year to narrow down the dozen you see onstage at GDC. It’s a HARD choice. If you want to see some of the games we couldn’t fit into the showcase, this reel features a handful of some of our favorite submissions!

Show me the most complicated game system and I will 100% find a way to store every piece of data needed to run it in a spreadsheet, plus a bunch of other stuff you didn't initially consider part of the system. This is my superpower and my curse.

I just remembered that I actually have a legal license for CS5. I know Adobe still wouldn't let it run, but I have the form that shows someone transferred their license to me back in 2012. In a just world, that would be enough to let me download and use the freaking product I paid for.

@tracedominguez.com @huggetout.bsky.social I recommended the Lateral podcast to a friend a few months ago, and he just sent me a text saying he'd randomly come across my question on That's Absurd. I guess he liked you two on Tom's show so much that he looked you up and started listening.

Among other weird decisions, YouTube just removed the ability to change playback speed with the keyboard in its embedded player, and it turns out I relied on that a lot. Now it takes four clicks every time I want to adjust the speed. Used to be able to click & hold to play at 200% too. Not anymore.

Boo

Why does every banking and payment app think it's special and doesn't need to adhere to any real guidelines? Yeah, that was vague as heck, but I have too many specifics to list here.

Custom tools are the greatest tools

Do I know anyone in Georgia (the country)?

I appreciate the variety of options here, but why ask the question after providing all the answers? Are we playing Jeopardy?

The Horde but make it cute and also no cutscenes with that nutjob

It's nuts how everyone in any sort of creative or tech field uses all the same sites and tools. Every meetup or event I attend is just constant mentions of LinkedIn, Substack and Claude. Tech companies have done a great job of making us think we can't survive without them in the world they created.

Fun fact: plastic recycling basically doesn't exist. Only about 9% of all plastic ever made has been recycled, and only 1% more than once. www.npr.org/2022/10/24/1...

Does anyone have experience creating a component in #Godot that pulls data directly from a Google (or other cloud-based) spreadsheet? That's something we did in my last couple Unity games, but now we need it to happen with Godot. Anyone good at that stuff?

I have a SaaS joke for this thread, but punchlines aren't included in the free tier

I just want to know if any journalist asked Zuck this one question: "Knowing what you now know about the fate of the Metaverse experiment, would you have instead used that money to make sure nobody on the planet went hungry for at least the past two years?" That would be good journalism.

Just got this email confirming I've successfully applied to [job title].

Getting a lot of Discord prompts to celebrate friendships with people. Apparently this is the time of year I became Discord buddies with everyone. Wonder if that has to do with any annual events that take place this month? Anyway, it is pretty annoying. Kind of a strange thing to celebrate.

Show me the most complicated game system and I will 100% find a way to store every piece of data needed to run it in a spreadsheet, plus a bunch of other stuff you didn't initially consider part of the system. This is my superpower and my curse.

ONLY 5 DAYS LEFT TO BACK OUR KICKSTARTER!!!! We returned Microsoft money cuz they're complicit in genocides. But im pretty sure your money isnt, hurray! Please back us while you still can!!

Afroman found not liable. A complete victory for the rapper and a massive unforced error from the cops and their attorney. www.billboard.com/pro/afroman-...

At least all that money wasn't wasted on something dumb like feeding the entire world.

Maybe we should stop naming things like streets and buildings after people? Kind of hard to change them when said people turn out to be monsters.

Hey devs, We are a small, family-run publisher based in Switzerland. We are currently looking for PC games to publish this autumn, as well as for 2027 and beyond. We'd love to see your projects! We look forward to receiving your pitches at: [email protected]

wait, they pulled a gun on his kids? and they're sad that their kids are getting made fun of at school over it?
