NASA failed to predict the real splashdown risk.

Saffy had to make sure the Integrity crew returned back to earth

This is the face of a lunar scientist who has just been told that the #Artemis II crew saw SEVERAL impact flashes (the flashes when meteors hit the lunar surface) in real time 😃 🌓💥

NASA #Artemis II flyby coverage schedule; all times in Eastern. You can follow along live on NASA+ (plus.nasa.gov) or on the NASA YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/@NASA). It should be amazing to watch!

I’m Aysha, a writer and narrative designer looking for full time and contract work! I’ve worked on Life is Strange, Pathologic, Hiveswap, and Magic the Gathering, to name a few. Hire me while the industry still exists!

You wanted this.

Our next game is Verminsteel! You're a bird with a broadsword, kicking thousands of fascists so hard they fly into the sun PLEASE go wishlist it, it'll make me really happy and help me stop low-key panicking and stuff: store.steampowered.com/app/4352280/... #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

40 years of Zelda! I remember playing TLoZ at friends' houses as a kid and later playing Wind Waker on my roommate's GameCube. I bought my Switch specifically to play Breath of the Wild. Here's to many more years to come saving Hyrule!

I want to take a moment to honor the late Jerry Lawson, the Electronic Engineer who led the design of the 'Fairchild Channel F' console and also designed the FIRST interchangeable game (ROM) cartridges. The game industry wouldn't be what it is today without Jerry's brilliance. (cont..)

Wasn't sure if was going to do it, but after much agony, I made it through Hollow Knight's Path of Pain

I finally tried VR for the first time — in 2026. Is PSVR2 still worth it? Late adopter thoughts, motion sickness included 🤢 youtu.be/XSCb_Af425Q

Me: I’m just gonna take a quick little nap. Me, 5 hours later:

Fair point

Fuck ICE

Minneapolis.

Spent much of the day troubleshooting a bug. But it wasn't until I laid down for a nap that I figured it out. Therefore, nap breaks should be paid breaks.

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

“It is not simple. I do not know what that means.“

Them: “You’ll outgrow videogames when you get older.” Me gaming into my prime like: You cannot get anymore wholesome than the Skyrim grandma 👵🏻😍❤️😭

this was a fun weekend. seems like simpler times.

Finally completed the story in South of Midnight. In particular, I loved the story, the art/animation, and the music.

Just started episode 7 of Buffy season 6 and I was not prepared for the awesomeness of this episode

This is a hard watch but don't look away. This is what they don't want you to see. They want to control the narrative and force people to think these men are monsters. These are human beings. These are people. These are our family, friends, and neighbors. Don't stop bringing attention to this.

Completed the loop in Tron: Catalyst. The loop mechanic in the game was an interesting component. As a fan of the Tron style and music, it was a fun way to enjoy the Tron universe. Loved Exo and the other characters she met along the way.

I'm happy we're performance benchmarking our next indie game to Switch 1 and Steam Deck, especially looking at the chip shortage headlines.

I didn't play many PC games this year, but I enjoyed the ones I did play

I once modded one of these to connect to a parallel port so I could connect a couple Power Gloves to my PC. That way I could still use the gloves with the NES if I wanted (not that I really did).

It seems that the Bluesky algorithm completely forgot that I got into Advent of Code last year. It would be nice to see at least a few posts about it this December on the timeline. (This is a hint to the algorithm.)

Made a little digital glyph rain effect, and couldn't resist going all the way. 🐧🕶️🔫 #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev

Gave penguins timing-sensitive motor planning capabilities. In other words, they can try to move a body part to a specific place *at a specific time*. This is vital for NPCs with a sense of rhythm or good reflexes! #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

Made the classic rookie mistake of pouring boiling water into a room temperature pyrex. It did not like that at all, let me know with a bang, and left a hot watery mess of broken glass. Thankfully the shards didn't fly as forcefully as the sound, but I might have trust issues when pouring hot water.

Making Penguin Festival's VR gameplay trailer was really challenging, but also fun and rewarding. Here's a little postmortem for my own posterity but also in case anyone else finds it helpful! #gamedev #indiedev #GodotEngine

I’ve been following this indie game for a while - its Kickstarter ends Saturday! It’s at $11,634 and needs to reach $12,000 or it will sadly lose ALL of its funding. If you love indie games or puzzle platformers, check it out and consider supporting 🫶🏻✨

I'm such a C# shill but, any time I hear someone say "the garbage collector slows things down too much" I feel like they're not aware of just how many tools you have to avoid heap allocations it seems to me whatever work that entails, it's almost always less work than using an unmanaged language

bringing out the classics

10/10 take. No notes.

It's so good to hear a message of hope again
