Hello bluesky ! I'm ghettobastler, and I make things out of electronics and code. Lately I've been making games with #pico8 and #love2d, which you can find on ghettobastler.itch.io. I also write about my projects on ghettobastler.com Thank you for stopping by !

Zoom!

We have Frog Detective. We have 3d Daniel Craig. Will someone make the Benoit Blanc mod already?

Also fitting that none of the people here are architects, they're rich executives who are given credit for the work of many, many others. I sincerely doubt Time was trying to be that clever with it. This cover is incredibly disappointing. I don't buy Time, but if I could buy less than zero, I would.

Somehow my YT algorithm thinks I'm into watching solo stealth camping? My home page is filled with people miserably sleeping in a tarp in the middle of nowhere.

I made a thing again: *Can't be careful on a skateboard, man!* is a #pico8 #skateboarding game based on the little known secondary story playing in the background of Stephen King's It. https://braininabowl.itch.io/cant-be-careful-on-a-skateboard-man #picostevemo

Would I get banned for this? #gamedev

After so much time not making #PICO8 games I've forgotten tons of stuff, so I'm learning it back again while starting my contribution to #PicoSteveMo 3 Here's a preview

FPS in pico8 is nothing new but this Robocop vibe is obsessing me!

Les jeux vidéo, c'est un peu l'allégorie de la caverne de Splatoon

Our national anti-tobacco advertising campaign is so epic, almost makes me want to pick up smoking so I can stop too

The U.S. S.T.E.M. are so cooked

Pour mes français sûrs, le film Dungeons and Dragons passe sur W9 ce soir ! Le récent qui est bien !

The PS2 truly is the best console ever because it is constantly becoming more powerful. Each time we say something "looks like a PS2 game" we're talking about a game of a higher fidelity than the last. What the PS2 is capable of in 2025 is so far beyond what it was capable of in 2003. That's amazing

" Wizard of toilets " Shoot at goblins with your toilet gun And then reload it by flushing goblins into it #LD58 #LDJam #gamedev

So in order to "create Grokipedia" I assume Musk will have his AI trashbot scrape Wikipedia itself, apply a "make this racist and sexist and all-around hateful" filter, and then serve it back to users. Should be really useful!

THE MEME IS REAL

As a non native English speaker I fell in love with the "Circuits" puzzle game by Puzzmo. My vocabulary is good enough, but this game teaches you all these little idioms that nobody bothers teaching you in a normal curriculum

oh well, onward and upward

WAKE UP THEY FINALLY MADE BITSY FOR PEOPLE WHO LOVE MAKING SPRITES (ME)

Pourquoi payer des mille et des cents dans des cartes Pokémon quand on peut en bricoler avec des vieux magazines et du papier qui brille ?
