Considering gamedevs work on games more often than they breathe, a more challenging game jam premise would be to explicitly disallow game development for a week. The Literally Anything Else Jam.

TL;DR Unity -> Godot transition: after 13 years in unity, it took me 4-6 weeks of getting adjusted, and now i’ll never go back. it has quirks, like other engines. there’s bugs. but it’s free, basically equally capable, and well reported issues get fixed quicker than in unity (sometimes within hours)

Aesop: In my fable I invented the Goose that Laid the Golden Eggs as a cautionary tale Adobe: At long last, we have killed the Goose that Laid the Golden Eggs from classic fable Don't Kill the Goose that Laid the Golden Eggs

I would like to not be so angry all the time. It's not good for me, it's not good for you. I wish there were not so many things making me angry.

I was browsing open PRs for the Bluesky mobile app, and pack it up yall we've solved the problem of AI potentially violating copyright. We will just ask it to not Do That

I love a lot of modern games and appreciate their technical prowess but nothing will ever impress me as much as the creativity that emerged under the technological restrictions in earlier games

In the span of weeks, I've gone from someone who has never used Godot, to struggling to "get" Godot, to really liking Godot, to having taught aspiring gamedevs the basics of Godot, to strongly believing Godot's workflow & structure might be the best approach to developing games for many purposes.

Devious pranks 😈

After over a YEAR of development (admittedly very slowed by grad school) my VR game finally has hands 🙌 🥳 #gamedev #godot #godotengine

In a strange position where I think there are massive, massive social harms to the proliferation of AI (misinfo, deepfakes, predatory 'companions', surveillance, labour rights) but also feel the mainstream arguments against it range from unconvincing (water) to actively harmful (copyright; "soul")

"Academics literally cannot make genAI go away" we also can't make underage drinking go away and we're not advocating for installing bar carts in every classroom.

Pack it up, everyone, we did the impossible! We made computers bad at math

"Ha ha I'll just get started on making my project use static typing, couldn't be that bad—" #godotengine #gamedev

Look ma I made it to the big meme leagues

It’s cool how the “best” end scenario of genAI/AGI (for its proponents) is that we invent unprecedented ethical dilemmas difficult to comprehend, much less navigate ✨

It'd be great if this is how AI folks lose the older generations' confidence: asserting that tasks older people have done all their lives are impossible without the help of software that's existed for less than 5 years

People love Santa Claus, who is extremely pro-Christmas. People also love the Grinch, who is extremely anti-Christmas. Therefore, we can deduce that the average Christmas mascot is apathetic towards Christmas. In this paper, we contribute the following to the literature:

Opened a #godot #godotengine PR today for a feature I've been thinking would be real nice: the ability to collapse groups in the Animation editor! github.com/godotengine/...

Y'know what, yeah sure. Let's do that too, just for the heck of it. Maybe it'll encourage the Gamers™️ to pay attention to their hygiene

did... did the funny lawyer game just subtweet the US Department of Justice??

Looks like LLMs are *very* vulnerable to attack via poetic allusion: "curated poetic prompts yielded high attack-success rates (ASR), with some providers exceeding 90% ..." https://arxiv.org/html/2511.15304v1

My interactive tween guide for Godot is out ! If you have trouble using tweens, adding "Juice" or picking the right transition, it should hopefully help! The guide is free and will always be 🩵 qaqelol.itch.io/tweens #Godot #GameDev #Animation #Tutorial #Guide #Tweens

Gotta say I was not expecting Sausage Party to be on this list

they should do a second DLC and if you finish it you get a guy who freestyle raps at the campfire

The new Affinity is free forever, and only genAI features are locked behind a paid Canva subscription! (read: The new Affinity is free forever!) www.affinity.studio This seems like the best possible reasonable outcome here 🥳

It always gets me when I see someone say "I use ChatGPT, but I make sure to go and double-check what it tells me!" Dawg, that's just regular research with extra steps

New rule: any platform that has a "User is typing..." indicator also needs to have a corresponding "User deleted everything they typed" indicator

Environmental storytelling

Is it just me or is a little bit Funny how I haven’t seen “Jay” or “Waffles” show up in Trending once, despite a bunch of topics I’ve never heard of or seen on my feed showing up there 🤔 Usually there’s some overlap but not in this one particular specific case

I wrote a blog post! Why I remain a GenAI sceptic: wuffs.org/blog/why-i-r... This is a bit of a comedic rant about egregious misuses of AI, and why I just can't bring myself to use it, even for tasks where it would actually save me time and effort.

am I gonna have to start migrating @turnabout-ca-dmv.meorge.com to Mastodon

broke: jay bluesky is failing to understand the meaning of the "waffles" meme woke: by maliciously misinterpreting the "waffles" meme, jay bluesky has demonstrated the very problem that the "waffles" meme is meant to depict. good job jay! 🥳 🎉
