I did this bit before but I have to update it because my game released on Steam

Entering my mid-30s with thoughts like, "I'd like to replace my ball-and-socket joints with Hall effect joints."

"'I am convinced that the preferential choice for the poor is a source of extraordinary renewal both for the Church and for society,' the pope wrote, echoing the language of Latin American liberation theologians who coined the term "preferential option for the poor."

By me this week - the happiest thing I've got to report of late, with a glorious trip over the summer to Montreal "Forget EVs. Cycling is revolutionising transport." www.economist.com/internationa...

the specific language of “break bread with” and “visit him in prison” is so striking to me, used in condemnation this way

In his closing statement, Harrell said, "This is not the time for hope. Passion and great ideas and inexperience is just not going to get us there. Trump will walk all over a person without experience, period."

Vance's most monumental achievement to date has been being told off by two popes in one year.

Italy's largest union, with over 5.5 million workers, has called a general strike for Friday in solidarity with the Global Sumud Flotilla. And smaller Italian unions have said they will join CGIL's general strike.

Israel has just arrested Greta Thunberg and many others. Statement from the Global Sumud Flotilla: “People of conscience have been abducted. The flotilla broke no laws. What is illegal is Israel’s genocide, Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, and Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon.” 1/3

I have been haunted by this statement all day www.kgw.com/article/news...

Coming tomorrow to your preferred video sharing platform

“We look brave,” said Frog. “Yes, but are we?” asked Toad.

The Super Mario 64 source code lists names for Mario's footstep sounds. The list starts off normal but becomes poetic with names like "Footsteps in the Fallen Leaves" and "More Than Anyone Else in the World". It turns out the names are actually taken from a 1994 dating simulator.

I think Washington state leaving the USA and joining Canada would be a really drastic, chaotic action. So, uh, what's our line in the sand where WA should do it anyway? #cascadia

Leo continues to be as good on AI as Francis was

sometimes you gotta draw a political cartoon #696969 "The Sad And Regrettable War"

Folks in and around Everett, WA, the city is collecting input from people about transportation safety. It's an easy way to leave a comment supporting pedestrian/rolling/cycling infrastructure in the city: engage.publiccoordinate.com/en/project/v...

New from me an @miasato.bsky.social: the most cursed thing I've ever reported, and I've reported a LOT of cursed things. www.theverge.com/politics/777...

A lot of people have been calling me the @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social of Seattle. But where Zohran is charismatic, telegenic and stylish, I've spent my whole adult life looking pretty dumpy. To look more mayoral, I enlisted my friend Andrew Ashiofu, who took me to one of Seattle's premier boutiques.

We have a big problem- for a big breadbasket nation, the US now grows surprisingly little food. We're now dependent on imports for basics like potatoes, ketchup, and even peanut butter. youtu.be/2uypc-c5-aA

Seattle City Council: “Don’t worry, Trump doesn’t want our surveillance data.” Trump:

suddenly remembered the single greatest sentence in video game history today

ICE took 2 firefighters OFF THE FUCKING FIRE LINE!?

Microsoft Says It Only Enabling Israel to Commit War Crimes: tinyurl.com/5ecza4p2

Today marks the 40th anniversary of the 7th episode of Dirty Pair, "愛こそすべて命賭けます逃避行!!" or "Love Is Everything, Betting Their Lives on Elopement", one of the most overtly trans-positive episodes of anime of its era. This was the future they predicted for us in 1985. We can still get there.

My romantic comedy #VisualNovel, "How am I supposed to fit in at college when there aren't any other animal people but I'm a POSSUM BOY!: The Ballad of Joey Virginia," is AVAILABLE NOW! Want to date cuties as an anxious opossum? Then have I got a game for you! big-knife-games.itch.io/possum-boy

It looks like what you'd get if someone combined Excite Truck, Viewtiful Joe, and Crazy Taxi and put it in a single player(?) game this is the highest compliment I can give

These are two different people who share the last name Wilson, but for about five seconds I did not realize this and was very confused. Lol

was doing a standing desk thing, but now i'm tired and am sitting on the floor with my laptop.

In 1930, John M Keynes said, "For at least another hundred years we must pretend to ourselves and to every one that fair is foul and foul is fair; for foul is useful and fair is not. Avarice and usury and precaution must be our gods for a little longer still." We got just 5 years to prove him wrong

My great grandmother Daisy painted this good Boi in the 1910s.

you KNOW this picture killed in 1875. people were busting the fuck up at a dog with a pipe. dogs don’t smoke

The other day, Linus excitedly told me that "the same guy who made Work It Out Wombats also made Molly of Denali!" Both are shows on PBS Kids. He dragged me over to the TV to see the credits, where the announcer said, "This show was made possible by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting." 💔

If anyone is here calling or emailing payment processors about their refusal to accomodate "NSFW" video games, could you also tell the payment processors to not associate AI companies, such as OpenAI, Anthopic, and X (Grok)?

Today at 4pm: Seattle’s Pier 58 Reopens as Final Piece of Waterfront Park Puzzle www.theurbanist.org/2025/07/25/s...

Consume Me just got delisted in a wave of delistings on itchio. It's a semi-autographical game about disordered eating. It won the grand prize at the most recent IGF awards. When storefronts start mass bannings, everything is threatened.

With all the destructable environs they should call it Red Faction Gorilla!

A lot of people come into the games industry and pretty soon develop a cynical attitude that the industry is largely run by business guys who don't know a thing about video games. It's only after a few years and some seniority that you realize that those guys don't know shit about business either.

Let's play six degrees of Kevin Bacon but with The Ooze.

My 3yo told me his toy horse was named "Bookchat," because he likes books and he likes to chat. Solid name, 8/10 A cow stuffie was named "Millie millie." Honestly, excellent. 10/10. A toy car with a face was named "BrigGrrrrCramChamper." Terrible, sorry. 3/10.

I'm trying to think about how I would have reacted if shown this headline five years ago

thinking about the dems who said we can't abolish ICE as the Department of Education gets wiped off the map

My three-year-old is in the back of seat of the car, so I can't see him well, and: Him: I'm using my teeth to make this toy brown. Me: Um, what? I don't understand what that means. Him: The color brown. Buh-rooooown. It's a *color.*

VGHF was a collaborator on UWash's project to determine next directions for game preservation in libraries and archives. We were at GDC with them when they got the email that Trump had pulled their funding. The funding has been reinstated, but this really shouldn't be happening!

more businesses need signage like this brownsville flea market

"Across China, authorities have been interrogating dozens of writers -- many of them young women -- who published gay erotic novels online, in what appears to be the largest police roundup of its kind to date."

I've been bedridden for the last 6 months, unable to work as I try to get a surgeon and insurance lined up for my operation to let me work again. If you could send a couple dollars, it'd really help. Time isn't on my side here, and waiting is very expensive. ko-fi.com/fooneturing
