2026 beginning of the year cleaning up files on my PC and found this one a friend send me when working on some code. Every developer can relate. #solodev #indiedev #development

Cool cool cool. So we're just openly making fucking puppet states now?

I'm sorry, but there's an Asterix and Obelix Playmobil set?

Nice going, Birds. 😐

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

Since Trump overthrew Maduro he hasn't shut the fuck up about bombing Mexico & Cuba and stealing Greenland. He feels emboldened. We need a wall of resistance and a backlash like he's never seen or he'll keep marauding looting and pillaging his way to the 4th reich.

Decolonising the Dungeon Crawl--- Like everything else re: decolonisation and TTRPGs discourse, this is a solved problem. There's only metric that matters: How many creators from the colonised world are participating in and able to make a living from their games? That's *it*. 1/

Look, I am fully of the opinion that unless and until a few other countries with decent sized militaries get together and threaten him with violence, Trump isn't going to stop with Venezuela.

At the very least, stop using it. If you want to hold onto your handle to prevent someone else from hijacking it, it might make sense to keep it. Just lock your profile, delete all your posts, and leave it.

Two new people start working in the Contents Team today. I'm still disgruntled that, despite saying "we need more women on the team," Mr. Bitcoin hired two more dudes.

So, I've given this way too much thought: With the ground floor being 48" sq., the outer and inner lanes would be 4", the first level of the four platforms would be 18" sq., second level platforms would be 10" sq., the bridges and ramps would be 2" wide. I'd make the platforms 3" high. #nerdlings

Relatedly, the camera on my new phone goes up to 8x magnification. My old one only went up to 4x. These photos were taken at 4x zoom which shows off absolutely every lumpy brush stroke. 🫣

Did the skin on my #BLKOUT UN Pilot model tonight. Done with Vallejo Game Color acrylics and Mr Hobby 000 & 10/0 round brushes. I'm forcing myself to go slow, focus on one section at a time, and not stay up ridiculously late.

You know, instead of building yet another app that claims to "connect people in a meaningful way" these techbro assholes could raise money for charity. I dunno man. Put money into community centers or something for fuck's sake.

I said I'd wait to start on my #BLKOUT stuff until I could do an unboxing on @upturnedtable.bsky.social , but I have the patience of a toddler. So I compromised by starting on the free UN Pilot model I got. Just a basic zenithal base using black, grey, and white rattle cans.

Hey Yall!! I'm participating in the 48-Word #TTRPG Jam!!! ... Going on through the whole month of January. Conjure up your micro RPG idea today, and submit it to the jam with me!!

Watching history repeat itself, again, and I'm suddenly wondering. Where the fuck are the other countries? Are they all just sitting back, thinking they'll hoover up the scraps of Venezuela after the US is done with it, or are they keeping quiet out of fear?

As evidenced by the last year, an action being illegal is irrelevant to someone that controls every lever of power in the system. The question is "Who's going to stop them?" If the answer is "no one," then people should expect to see many more illegal actions taking place.

Today while out at the mall I picked up a CAPSULE MACHINERY Mortis kit by IP4 Co., Ltd. I don't really know what I'll do with it, but I've always thought it was a shame to not take more advantage of the gunpla-esque robot model kits available in gatcha machines. It fits nicely on a 60mm base.

Started on an environment for my guy this morning.

At this point, if a Democratic presidential candidate wants my vote, their platform has to - at bare minimum - include some version of "I am going to put all these freaks in prison for their crimes." Full stop. No compromise. I am now a single issue voter for the dark woke prison camps.

Jesus fucking Christ.

EL GUAPO VS THE NARCO VAMPIRES pilot intro!!! Full pilot coming soon...

Laid up in the hotel room all day with some kind of cold/fever is really not how I wanted to end our trip to Taiwan, or spend the first day of 2026.

Browsing the shelves of a Family Mart in Taiwan and what the hell? I had no idea the Quaker company made herbal supplements.

The 8-year old has found the all K-POP channel at our Taiwanese hotel TV. With each new act that comes on I'm having to explain that, no, these are NOT the Saja Boys/Huntrix because those bands only exist in the K-Pop Demon Hunters movie.

This is one of my favorite paintings, from any painter, ever. Not only is she crushing Mein Kampf, but the arc of her rivet gun's cable also evokes a serpent being crushed under her heel - even while the rivet gun herself is laid on her apron like Christ on the lap of the Virgin Mary.

Jesus fucking Christ.

FREE ISSUE IF YOU SIGN UP BEFORE THE 1ST! WOW! WHAT A DEAL!

On the train to the airport. We're using the Nankai Line, riding in a premium train, and the illustrations on the info sheet in the pouch on the back of the seat in front of me are clearly AI-generated. Disappointing that a big company is using this trash. 😡

Off on a family trip to Taiwan tomorrow afternoon, so the #BLKOUT miniatures are up on a Kallax shelf awaiting my return.

Creating a cozy or wholesome game? Don't sleep on Japanese fonts! They often include latin characters and are super cute. Here's some recommendations ✨ #gamedev #fonts (Downloads in reply)

Cool. Cool, cool, cool. I'm sure this will have no effect on our family trip to Taiwan tomorrow. 😬

We didn't survive and thrive as a species because we had warriors or hunters - pretty much every omnivore can manage that. We did so because we developed Grandmothers, and domesticated Dogs. Community is what defines us as a species, and every "self-reliant" libertarian shitweasel be damned.

Although I plan to do an unboxing video on @upturnedtable.bsky.social, I did open my package of #BLKOUT miniatures to check they'd survived the trip. They did. Phew. Alpha Handlers, Space Elevator terrain set, Manticor and UN Raid Force Alpha force boxes, and acrylic tokens.

Imagine it being easier to just pay the 8 billion dollars and it won't affect you in the slightest. Man what have we done lol

More playtests of my tower defense game this afternoon. Previous games felt a bit too easy, so I added a few more enemy units to the cards. I lost, but the challenge level felt better. I want the game to be hard, but not impossible.

Hey, y'all. You need a minimalist RPG and I need to eat. For $200 (half up front, half upon completion), I will custom craft for you little tabletop RPG in three months or less. Message me if interested.

Fucking _FINALLY_ having the #BLKOUT game stuff I ordered back on 11/29 delivered today. Looks like I'll have to pay an additional ¥2600 in import fees, which is a kick in the teeth, given that I already paid ¥18600 for shipping to Japan.

New Year's resolution: Gonna mix it up, try something new, stunt on the skyline a little less dipshit, more cumclown

Hey folks, I was hoping to not have to make this post, but a check I was waiting on isn't coming. I've got another medical appointment this week and need to cover rent. My health is really going downhill and I need all the help I can get. If you can't help, please share! The goal is $1000.

Bianca is trying really hard to be gentle but Sam tugging at her to come closer makes her teeth sink in a little😵‍💫 #oc #lesbian #monsterhearts

another robot highlight for 2025: man wearing humanoid mocap suit kicks himself in the balls

“Your honour, I move for a directed verdict. How can my client Cain have known that smashing his brother over the head with a rock would kill him if nobody had ever died before?”

#8 Season Donna buckled her father's shotgun back into its slip case. "Viv, honey?" she called over her shoulder. "Let me know when you're done, okay?" No answer. "Okay?" Vivian stopped chewing long enough to grunt an assent, then thrust her arms back into the steaming deer carcass.

Stargazing/camping date with a werewolf is extremely my shit. ❤️

Bianca takes Sam out on a stargayzing/camping date during a full moon ✨🌕🐺 #oc #monsterhearts #lesbian

One of the discussions on Chinese social media that I saw go viral recently is based around the 斩杀线 (Kill Threshold) concept. This term originated within video games to describe when an enemy's health is near zero and can be killed in one hit / move. It can also be applied in a financial setting

A couple more tests of this analog tower defense game I'm working on. It works. I don't know if it's fun though. I'm getting pretty sick of it.
