A ring found in Birka, Sweden, made in the 9th century. Made from silver and set with a coloured glass stone, it is inscribed with Arabic Kufic writing reading “for/to Allah”. www.independent.co.uk/news/science...

i did one of my regular 'alien' rewatches and wrote a gigantic obsessive thread.

Anyway here’s the passage of Judith Butler that the Guardian censored years ago

Look i don’t give a shit unless he’s dead

PC fundraising post: i am poor, and nursed my desktop along for going on 9 years. however, i am starting to get hardware failures. it's time. i've decided to build my own PC so i can snipe deals + get hand-me-downs, and get a great mid-range PC for cheap. can anyone help? paypal.me/vacuumflowers

the funny thing about the infinite corporate (and human) press for more content, maybe the most funny thing, is we already have vastly vastly more amazing content than you could consume in a lifetime.

ok 😆 i have a compulsion to share this again because i’m really proud of it. making a new browser based thing was a blast. html, css, javascript are an absolute joy💕

good thread

"Did you do anything else with pits" yeah I made birds and put them in front of the pit to knock you in. "No no, we DON'T want the player faling into pits!" well then why do we have pits??? Get in the fucking hole, little player!

lol there’s a rip off of electric zine maker on the app store that’s vibe coded with in app purchases to unlock templates… i know it shouldn’t bother me but the creator justified it being vibe coded because they are a solo dev and that’s “the only way to ship something solo”… i’m reeling at that…

i made Electric Zine Maker ENTIRELY SOLO. it’s not vibe coded at all or pay to unlock… it’s free for the community… it’s also not ripping anyone off with AI use… AI was never necessary but hey 🤷

like fine take what people like me make and act like you were the original creator that invented this type of thing… it happens all the time… but ffs don’t excuse vibe coding on being a solo dev. that’s just disrespectful to solo devs. rip me off. ok. excuse vibes coding on being solo. no! 😡😤

John is both having a laugh and dead serious, as usual. That’s the thing about fairy dust - for as long as you think about chocolate and ice cream and Christmas, you can soar free amongst the clouds to Neverland but the moment you start thinking unhappy thoughts, you fall out of the sky.

When I speak about racism I've experience in Ireland quite often I'll get a comments like: "Sure you're more Irish than them" or "I bet they can't even speak Irish like you". Here's why I ask you to not make these kind of comments anymore:

if ur trans and used ai to make ur website or python script or whatever bc u dont know how to code i will personally teach u for free instead. please dont let these skills die

Today in History: Benito Mussolini executed

You can find the campaign at launchgood.com/1948 where Rasheed will have to figure out how to promote a Palestinian-made game about Palestinian history, all while his people face genocide and apartheid. Palestinians are not even allowed to ask the world if it wants to hear their story.

I am thrilled to announce that Dreams on a Pillow has wrapped up pre-production and we are about to start full production. We can’t do it without your support. We are starting our second round of crowdfunding, to support us you can find out more here www.launchgood.com/1948

Palestinian game dev @rasheedabueideh.bsky.com is announcing the promised second crowdfunding campaign for his beautiful Dreams on a Pillow - but @safety.bsky.app has decided you can't know about it and marked his entire account as spam. Another obstacle in him just telling his story via games.

How does it feel to be an Iranian right now? 🧵

The weight of history lies on each of us, both so lightly we notice it not at all and also as crushingly as the utmost depths of the sea. Lifted from its opaque fathoms we would each dissolve into the foam of the sea that we ourselves are crafted from.

Tragic news. The positive effects of this game jam will be felt for generations of indie games. Not just through the games born from it, but community of sharing that is part of the foundations of the modern indiedev community

while i do think regulatory mechanisms like human rights agreements are important, i really can't get behind the idea of "legal war" at all.

Lately I found myself trying to manipulate Youtube's recommendations. I open like fifty tabs of various fangame trailers and suddenly it's recommending me new fangames from everywhere! I wish I could just type that in somewhere to get the same result, but then it only shows me Roblox and FNAF stuff

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

good thread

they can't imagine creating a society of interesting beings which aren't like us. they can only imagine servants or giant penises, so AI must be a giant penis which acts subservient at all times.

My erosion filter is out! Video, blog post, and shader source. It emulates erosion without simulation, so it's fast, GPU friendly, and trivial to generate in chunks. Explainer video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4V2... Companion blog post: blog.runevision.com/2026/03/fast... #ProcGen #vfx #GameDev

The “gamer image” of what fromsoft games are is so divorced from what they actually are as to feel like they might as well describe a completely different set of games. why most souls likes completely miss the point too

For all we talk about the strait of Hormuz, can we also bring up how neat Hormuz island is - up to and including rainbow hills and blood-red edible soil?

This is (I think) a Greater Blue-Eared Starling (Lamprotornis chalybaeus) & the amazing chrome job is their super-power. They've evolved to manipulate light in VERY specific ways, attracting mates, intimidating rivals. Let's look at the nanostructures that bring this bling into being.

Here's a new song called "Do You Have Any Idea How Most People Live?"

all will rise is handing back Microsoft money & pledging @nogamesforgenocide.com — it’s a difficult thing to do when funding and attention are scarce commodities for indies like us, but we hope more of our fellow devs and indie studios will join us in taking a stand 🔥 www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

HAPPY international women's day!! (name of the woman and film in alt-txt)

A machine is more blameless, more sinless even than any animal. It has no intentions whatsoever but our own.

Only in silence the word, Only in dark the light, Only in dying life: Bright the hawk's flight On the empty sky.
