Weird Web October Day 2: Maps octothorp.es/~/Maps

@maddymakesgames.com not only is Celeste fun, challenging, and rewarding, it also was a small part of the path to my transition. I use the feather breathing exercise when I get overwhelmed and teach it to my friends if they need it. Bonus Madeline cosplay pic

Weird Web October starting today! There's already some websites up, you can see them here: octothorp.es/~/Transparency

I’ll add a note that I rarely make explicit when I use that expression: I made a movie about a Pikachu who solves crimes, and arguably he doesn’t even solve a crime in the whole movie.

"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...

Submitted a panel application for MAGfest with @nobr.me, everyone pray to the MAGgods for me

approximately three hundred of you have sent me this and you know what? Sure. I’ve got time today. Put 40 bulbs of garlic in my pasta, coming right up

imagine if a family of beavers randomly showed up right now and finished whatever thing you've been putting off

Made some little guys

I am running Weird Web October again this year! Share and spread the word to anyone who might want to join! weirdweboctober.website

Sometimes you just need the ice cream mix to cool down faster

happy national cheeseburger day to all who celebrate - regardless of creed, color, or origin, today we are all cheeseburger-americans

That bossanova beat

it's so funny to see America's health insurance companies be like "look. If there's one thing we love it's denying you care. but we ran the numbers - and we cannot BELIEVE we're saying this - and it's cheaper for us to just pay for the vaccines than deal with you going to the ER."

Sometimes it's nice to remember that even Marcus Aurelius was like "you don't have to comment on everything bro"

Incredibly rude of my ex to take over the whole therapy session today

I don’t need to get WaHo every time I travel. But…..

idk if y’all know this but… 2 weeks of being sick, in pain, and at home alone makes you feel bad 3 days of going out with your friends to fun events makes you feel good

Hair color day 🧡

I live in Tokyo-3 and have evacuated 8 times in the last month for giant monster attacks and even when I get to live at home all the fixtures ooze blood. Wouldn’t trade it for the world, Tokyo-3 baby lets go evas

The Coca-Cola Freestyle machine is an echo chamber. Good luck finding nuanced debates about hot button issues on that touch screen. It’s just soda names and flavored syrups

I think a majority of my calories in the last two days has come from pudding

Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.” Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment. No questions asked. No proof required. Pass it on.

Someone thinks she’s still a puppy

i like how fantasy card games are like this

I would like to put in an official request to cancel myself for misgendering myself

Kurt Vonnegut’s definition of what makes something “art” is one of my favorites I’ve seen - from a letter to his brother in 1995.

Support local journalism

some women are so beautiful that they make you want to buy a dreamcast right then and there

this bothers me so much from a chauvinistic national pride perspective. US cities are *way* richer than all but a few foreign ones, but they don't look like the future because we prioritized boomer property values. the SF Bay Area should be a fucking marvel of the world, should eclipse Singapore.

I feel like I have not been able (or willing) to explain this to people who heavily use LLMs arstechnica.com/ai/2025/08/w...

Found in Dallas

Me: 2025 has been so good for horror You: Yeah! What have been your favorite movies so far Me: What's a movie

HACK THE PLANET!!! Happy Zero Cool Day to all who celebrate!

Fun fact, Facebook is currently in a lawsuit because they pirated and seeded a bunch of porn so they would have a good seed ratio in order to pirate a shit ton of media to train their AI arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

there are geniuses among us, and they're not talking to chatgpt about physics

Having a fun summer

Just discovered that the slots in silverware organizer are labeled and it does not match where I’ve been putting things for the last five years. I’m devastated

When people say I’m too mean to them online they should know I’m wearing this shirt

Most of the internet used to be like this. This is actually the default, it took companies enclosing the internet and adding weird, soul-killing incentives to make people behave the way they do now. In a way, there is truly nothing special about Wikipedia except that it survived longer.

Spoiled by @porgtech.bsky.social hotel with their plethora of shampoo/conditioner. Now I’m at my brother’s house with only head and shoulders 2-in-1 and I am not happy

sometimes you gotta party on a Thursday
