I've been radio silent because I'm in the process of standing up an app.bsky.* API server (aka app-view aka Barnes & Nobles). This is an expensive and time intensive operation that I didn't want to do until it was necessary. It's a fail-safe not a differentiator in experience, but important 7/11

I hear and see your concerns. Over the weekend, a couple users hosted on Blacksky's PDS were banned from the Bluesky app and thus the Bluesky API servers. This was a weakness of our system I've been aware of and hoped we had more time to address before any kind of public incident. 1/11

Get ready to suit up, Washers 💦 You'll be able to collect your keys and get busting grime October 23rd! Coming to PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2

Had a scare with my cat who's up to 18 now and beat Ace Attorney: Justice for All, what a night tonight's been

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy: www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

this was funnier in my head

Has the VGHF archived original Bubsy 3D art from a press CD provided to GamePro magazine? Yes. Do you want it? No? Well you're getting it anyhow... archive.gamehistory.org/folder/0119a...

Recently had the opportunity to build 3 demos to demonstrate the power of game feel!

Happy 10th anniversary, Read Only Memories. I haven't made an anniversary illustration yet to celebrate, but it's crazy that it's already been 10 years since the original release. I have a lot of complex feelings, but I'm still proud of it. #ReadOnlyMemories #2064ROM

It's never too late to pick up new hobbies or creative pursuits! Do what engages you, creatively! Also invest in a decent mattress and, if your job requires extended sitting, a good chair.

Happy birthday to Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, which released in the USA three decades ago today! This game pushed the Super Nintendo hardware to the upper limit, and included dedicated hardware in the cartridge itself to expand the system's capabilities even further!

autumn has arrived

It is incredibly funny how the Bluesky team thinks that everyone is here because of their cool new coding system and framework to build your own siloed communities meanwhile 99% of their user base has no clue about any of that shit and is only here because it is like Twitter before Elon bought it

RetroAchievements users caused a collective uproar that got site admins to remove a bigoted rom hack in the time since Jay posted this. It hasn't even been 10 hours.

you know, I was originally thinking tangled seemed appealing but now I'm not so sure

your user base consists entirely of people who are willing to migrate from social media websites that turn on them

You absolutely should not dismiss the AT Protocol technology that runs this place as boring nerd stuff, because that is the exact technology we are going to need to ensure that usable social media that isn’t controlled by Nazis continues to exist.

May I interest you in some sick wireframe #DELTARUNE aesthetic? 🎮

🏜️🤠 Rollin' through Wild Waste.

The major failing of @jay.bsky.team and the team of people going "we built the protocol, now leave!" is that the vast majority of people DO NOT WANT to be splintered off into discrete clusters on the internet. We had that already. BBCode forums in the 00s. Those still exist. People don't want them.

Friends, Spooky season is upon us. Remember... foods dyed black with charcoal can interfere with medications. Don't eat them if you have an Rx

Close your windows and put on your air purifiers IMMEDIATELY if you live in Southern California.

I know these guys are all dumber than a sack of hammers, but it is fascinating to see the military decide “logistics are gay” in real time

R.O.B. - Ride on the Beat!! was preserved by @yuvi.app! Released in 2005 for keitai, this is a 3D rhythm game where you ride a hoverboard and change lanes to the beat of the music. It's pretty fun! The 3D graphics are also quite good for a 2005 keitai game.

welcome to 💥CRASHOUT CREW💢 form a crew of up to 4 overworked friends and drift into a frantic co-op forklift experience where teamwork is key, disaster is inevitable and managing stress is all on you. DEMO drops Oct 13th as part of Steam Next Fest‼️ it's time to clock tf in.

Folks who create videos about games on the internet: I have questions for you if you'd be so kind. I'm trying to determine the relationship between traditional media and those who create videos about games and have never worked for the games press. Sharing is appreciated! forms.gle/cG3BEkGqwuoh...

LOOK AT MY CATAQUACK OC, THEY'RE SO SILLY

this is probably the most embarassing source code i will ever put up. VB6 code from 2003 that i had been convinced was lost forever github.com/maddievision... if you were in the emu / rom hacking scene in the early 2000s you probably remember this program lol

Over halfway through funding at the halfway mark is all nice and synced up but lets not let that number lag behind as time runs out! there's some pretty cool stretch goals to be met beyond the base funding! please take a look! and try the free demo! the team's been hard at work polishing it further!

GENOKIDS is now OUT!! I repeat this Kingdom Hearts/DMC inspired game is OUT! IT'S OUT! CHECK S TEAM NOWWW OUT! OUUUUUUTT!!!!!!!! AAAIIIEE EE EEE 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Congratulations @slimerancher.com! Happy official release day for Slime Rancher 2! I made fan art for the occasion 💜💙💚

Here’s a thing I’ll add, as someone who’s been there: if you’re the CEO of a platform with millions of users, you don’t get to have as much fun on that platform, period. And your job is to eat shit every time a legitimate critique of policy comes up. That’s the gig. Don’t sign up if you aren’t game.

Light textures are new in bevy 0.17, and using them with image handles is easy. To drive them with a material we have to render that material to a texture and use it in both places. This enables generating textures or animating scrolling IVs, etc youtu.be/H4ysDezt8Vo

Observers became Events and EntityEvents in Bevy 0.17, while 0.16's Event became Messages. Here's how hooks and observers work in 0.17 youtu.be/BtwNc_sx1pE

not to point at anyone in particular, but I have been in and on many different internet communities of various shapes/sizes/technologies and one mistake I consistently see made is assuming the technical part of running a community is the hard part. it's not. it's the social part. it's moderation.
