like i am not going to devote a fraction of my brain to being upset for longer than a minute, but this says about all you need to know about the legitimacy of TGA's awards at least as it applies to music

They don't really fit together and I kinda love it #pixelart

A togglable "I'm an adult with kids and a job" feature that assumes you only get to play once a week, and dumps a summary of what you were last doing/your current objectives in a corner tooltip on loading a save.

extremely rude that this wasn't it

this 5 minute doodle that I drew on a post-it note is superior to AI art in soul, skill, originality and personality ANYTHING that you create yourself is ✨️ fuck ai ✨️

We don’t want AI slop. Stop sending us AI slop. Stop wasting our time with AI slop. It doesn’t sound good. It’s antithetical to our core values. You didn’t even make it. Knock it off.

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

hmmm how much are tickets to SF

25 years in, we are NOT allowing genAI music onto OC ReMix, full stop. We're 100% against genAI music and are a community geared toward authentic creativity and artistic development. You don't get that by doing text prompts. ocremix.org/remix/OCR04918 youtube.com/watch?v=fUsg...

I love the internet, because it allows me access to 1h30m seminars on (relatively) niche aspects of harp notation by other music engraving nerds simply for the benefit of all This is what the internet was meant for. Be like this kind of internet

🚀🚀LITTLE ROCKET LAB IS OUT NOW!!! 🚀🚀 4 years of development, finally available on Steam and Game Pass store.steampowered.com/app/2451100/... RTs unbelievably appreciated!! <3

Little Rocket Lab is OUT NOW!! I have so much to share, so much music to show, tales to tell... BUT FIRST. Most importantly: 1. @kyleschmitz.bsky.social : thank you for this amazing game 2. Everyone else: go check ou the game NOW (please)! www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgWY...

Cool game by cool Winnipeg game dev @kyleschmitz.bsky.social and co, with a great soundtrack by @megahammerstudios.bsky.social. Congrats to all on the launch!

Now that we've had some time to get off work & confer & write things down, we've put out a quick statement, removed the albums from the October newsletter, and will be making sure that folks know when they submit their albums (which these were not, btw, we were tagged) that we won't promo AI "art."

my partner went away for one weekend and I bought a secondhand skateboard

One of the great trials of being a musician in game dev is the insatiably growing desire to switch to Linux while being bound to Win/Mac-only music/notation software. There is no escape

Once again the Liberals are siding with big executives to help privatize postal delivery, an essential public service. This will hurt seniors, the disability community and rural areas the hardest.

"When we release a game, we don't fully understand it, right? People playing it and talking about it we learn more about it and ourselves." @maddymakesgames.com + @noelfb.bsky.social share the story of CELESTE ahead of their talk at ACMI next week INTERVIEW: www.sifter.com.au/post/celeste...

Game Garden 2025 was a resounding success!! We had roughly 3300 attendees this year and even hit the ppl cap for some of the talks. If you attended, we have a short public feedback form available. Any and all feedback is appreciated! forms.gle/78u1aCRE8MCp... And now I am in HIBERNATION 💤

This is a solid roundup of the ways Winnipeg is making progress. We can always wish these changes were faster but the fact they're happening at all makes me excited for the city's future

Vancouver Game Garden 2025 IS NOW OVER!! Thank you to all of our lovely attendees, exhibitors, and volunteers for making this event such a welcoming and fun time for gamers and game devs of all ages and walks of life. We’ll see you next year for more local indie games, art, and talks! 🌻✨

My kids enjoying the games on show at @vangamegarden.bsky.social.

cityofnone.com is at the @vangamegarden.bsky.social! Come by and play and check out a bunch of cool local games this weekend

But this win means our collective pressure is working. Palestinians call for increased global BDS and shareholder pressure until Microsoft adheres to international law and ends all complicity in Israel’s atrocity crimes.

genuinely, who cares? public services aren't businesses. it provides services that should be accessible to the entire population. it should not be expected to make that profitable. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

I stomp you... you stomp me?! O_O

Carney is choosing expediency over principle, failing to take steps to end the genocide and denying entrance of many Palestinian Canadians back into the country. I'm calling on the Liberal government to act now to end this genocide.

I'm not gonna have time to make anything with this but I started on a tiny interactive web thing for Vancouver Game Garden using @pietepiet.com's art and LDtk (arrow keys): vangamegarden.com/events/02/ga...

Apparently Winnipeg has a dedicated VGM orchestra now! I really liked their ALttP medley: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaOz...

This is the kind of stuff that makes me really want to give trackers another shot. So goooddd! (...until I inevitable do, get frustrated, and give up lol)

hell yeah itchio & leaf!!

Makes me think about how these same people call us Luddites for “resisting technological process” when the actual Luddites were against cheaply made shit that exploited underpaid workers. www.smithsonianmag.com/history/what...

This week I was sworn in for the third time to represent Winnipeg Centre in parliament. Thank you for putting your continued trust in me, it is an honour to serve my community. I am ready to get back to work next week and ensure a strong voice for Winnipeg Centre. #CommunityAtTheCentre

cool game by cool folks from cool Winnipeg

The @ndp.ca hold the balance of power. @mark-carney.bsky.social says he's open to electoral reform. And a citizens' assembly on electoral reform has been official @liberalca.bsky.social policy since their 2023 convention. What are we waiting for? Let’s end first-past-the-post now! #Election2025

the conservatives "won" this riding while over 65% of the constituents did not vote for them. first past the post is not democratic lol

:(

Congrats to @leahgazan.bsky.social for her re-election in Winnipeg Centre!

Carleton had the chance to do the funniest thing ever right now…
