Sprawl trilogy still stands out at the top of my "favorite books" list. One of the few trilogies that I go and reread every few years and come away with different thoughts.

this is the pitch that got so many companies on board and investing in the bubble. This is the naked truth of what capitalists want: pure unhindered income once the annoyance of people needing food, shelter and healthcare is removed. They'll be able to sequester themselves away from us permanently

Happy 40th Anniversary TLOZ! ⚔️ #Zelda40th #Zelda #TLOZ

The 40th anniversary of Zelda is all the excuse you need to submerge yourself in classic Katsuya Terada art.

A direction-aware and more realistic version. Demo: codepen.io/t_afif/full/... via @codepen.io

Finally going to commit to @zed.dev this year and ditch VSCode (and its derivatives) once and for all. Then I am free from using any Microsoft products in my personal life 🥳

Amazing video. Well worth watching through to the end. We desperately need more people, ESPECIALLY those in the tech space, to stand up against tyranny and fascism rather than accepting it or, even worse, embracing it and holding it up. Good reminder that everything is political.

It is important to know that despite its prominence TikTok loses billions of dollars and tweaking algorithms lays havoc to your ad sales. Oracle is gonna destroy this thing and it’s going to combine with the data center debt and consume it whole www.theinformation.com/articles/tik...

go hawks, twelve men!

Really thought I was going to miss TikTok more but honestly pretty freeing to know it's not an option anymore

Oh for sure for sure. Saved this to my desktop so I could understand it better after watching Freien. I now understand it.

Installed @bazzite.gg on a new machine and WOW what a breath of fresh air after Windows 11. Shocked how well everything "just works".

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice: www.pentadact.com/2026-01-08-1... I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

Went to Dave's Hot Chicken for the Fallout themed meal and, uh.... it comes with a stimpak plunger to suck up ranch dressing with to inject into the chicken

Giving away copies of Kenney Game Assets All-in-1 to help boost my profile here on BlueSky and leave the other place! Here's the first one, be quick to claim; kenney.itch.io/kenney-game-...

Love this from Guillermo del Toro

As we enter the New Year remember fear of making bad art is holding you back. Fear of people not liking your work is holding you back. Rejection is holding you back You'll make bad art, you'll have people not like your work, and you'll be rejected. Moving past it is half the job of being a creative

Keep thinking about this term "pre-digested" that Kojima used to describe art that's instantly gratifying. And how it's better when people grow to love something instead. I've gravitated, as player and designer, toward the latter, but that term "pre-digested" is new and feels very strong.

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.

can't stop watching this clip of a tesla Optimus teleoperator taking his headset off before properly logging out the robot

At about $60K that's about 128 million graduate team indie games, at $150K about 500,000 small indie games, at $300K about 250,000 mid-size debut indie games, or at around $950K about 110,000 indie games by a team of more experienced devs. There are a total of 110,000 indie games on Steam.

Today (on giving Tuesday!) I finally donated my car, with the money going towards the always wonderful Seattle Public Library. This will be my first time car-less since I was a wee lad of 16, but I haven't driven it at all in 2+ years (!!!) and parking is stupid expensive

Used one of these to make Halo 3 machinima back in high school 👴💀

📜 scrolls and banners as stock art for indie RPGs. 📜 #ttrpg #stockart #sketchbook

This is the Moe-ment I've been waiting for! A mob of model Moes

Joe Perra in the latest Fionna and Cake episode was a pleasant surprise

Eddington / One Battle After Another double feature for a wild Friday night

Hell yeah let's boot up some Towerfall

“The problem is that when it is installed in a health sector that prizes efficiency, surveillance and profit extraction, AI becomes not a tool for care and community but simply another instrument for commodifying human life.”

the firefox heel turn is perhaps one of the saddest stories for the open web doubling down on LLMs-for-everything now involves crowding out the translators support.mozilla.org/en-US/forums... imagine how many hours of painstaking human work have just been thrown out in favour of machine translation

#pluribis feels like Vince Gilligan going back to the X-files and I am here for it

These animations definitely had me trying to animate in Flash way back in the day! Animations that are unfortunately lost to the sands of time 🥲

No correct aspect ratio upload to be found on YouTube, and I could be more rigorous about my editing, but I genuinely think this is some of the funniest 106 seconds in comedy history, and definitely in my top five Simpsons jokes.

New season of Fionna and Cake is giving me life 🥲

Now you, too, can view ads instead of the road! To be fair, most drivers I see as a pedestrian are already looking at their phones anyway. Walking to the grocery store feels a bit like Frogger 🐸

One night I randomly saw that Netflix has games that you can download on your phone. On a whim, I chose the first Golden Idol and was stunned. Amazing story, tricky and unique puzzles, fun art... y'all need to play these games. Second game is so good too.

These days I'm really leaning towards less and less computer

you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am

"it isn't just X—it's Y" is by far the most annoying ChatGPTism

Goddamn @theamynicholson.bsky.social COOKED with this FRANKENSTEIN review. Bow down to one of the greats. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

The Hasan Piker dog collar incident shows that proponents of the surveillance state, like Larry Ellison, who claimed that mass video surveillance would lead to more accountability, are catastrophically wrong.
