We have a theory about Macron’s sunglasses.

I spent all day out at a learning event today 9-5 & I don’t know how I used to go to a big office every weekday for work for like 15 years - today I learned a lot! I had fun with people! And also every last nerve is frayed & I’ve got not a crumb of energy left! Wild!!

I wrote about how concentration camp regimes evolve and why it's not too late to stop this, even though we are deep in it now.

I think there is some information in there that isn't familiar to a lot of people. Including that the US is currently holding three times as many people in immigration detention as were detained in the entire Nazi concentration camp system in spring 1939—six years into the Third Reich.

“But what deeply troubles me now is that for all the steps we've taken toward integration, I've come to believe that we are integrating into a burning house."  Dr. King said this famous quote on March 27th, 1968, mere days before his murder. But the context around the quote is interesting...

AND @martinpi.bsky.social & I are getting hype to spend this Saturday evening drawing birds with @ipaintbirbs.bsky.social - & you can too with this live event: academy.allaboutbirds.org/live-event/i...

It's #BirdArtWeek2026! Here are some of my collage homages to amazing bird art that I am including in our game Sparrow Warfare, where your magnificent bird army frees the world!

Thanks so much for the Sparrow Warfare shout-out, @michaelklamerus.bsky.social!

It’s so hard for me to grasp that the structures of power mean that we all now watch “the emperor’s new clothes” happening in US non-stop. I don’t understand why there isn’t a massive, organised, supported by other powerful people, real resistance to end it. Marches, strikes, riots, tax withholding.

Nice to see my guy Ifan still has it! 😌

The purpose of the lying has changed from "make you believe the lie" to "make you doubt your sanity" to "make you question the nature of reality itself" to "show you how much lying they can get away with"

Sparrow Warfare now has a wiki! Thanks to the kindness of @wiki.gg for hosting us, you can now explore all current wildtiles, daily flight modifiers, and tips & tricks right here: sparrowwarfare.wiki.gg

One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”

YES. @alphachar.bsky.social and I are making Sparrow Warfare, a game about birds who are overthrowing an evil demagogue. A peckbuilder, if you will, snappy but with so many interlocking mechanics that your head will spin (owl style). linktr.ee/sparrowwarfare

You know what feels really really really good? Feeding the birds. It's cold out there, & most of us have the ability to walk outside with a few fistfuls of bird seed and absolutely make the day of scores of beautiful, talkative, feathered friends. Makes my day too!

Ahem, "peckbuilder". 😁

I think I've never had such an embarrassing finish in a run.

We're excited to officially host this week's #TurnBasedThursday! Devs: Reply with your #TurnBased game, screenshots / videos and Steam link Let's all support each other by ❤️ 🔁 and adding to your wishlists. Thanks! #indiegames #gamedev #indiedev

A great joy of progressing with our game is that I can no longer get anywhere NEAR the top of the leaderboard, as our playtesters are now so much better than me 😀 Still cataloguing my daily shames over on our YouTube if you're ever in the market for some second-rate advice! youtu.be/cTYVF-YZGcg

Our brand-new wiki explains the scoring rules in detail. Absolutely necessary to reach the upper echelons in Daily Flights: sparrowwarfare.wiki.gg/wiki/Scoring...

Making games is a LOT easier than getting eyeballs on them, lemme tell ya! Speaking of... our weird bird deckbuilder has a great new free playtest build out: 🦜 Daily flights! 🦩 Tutorial! 🦚 2 playstyles! 🦆 So… many… birds!!! Join us! Or tell a friend! store.steampowered.com/app/3473440/...

Looking for a producer? Úna-Minh is AMAZING: truly the multi-talented Swiss army knife of indie studio dreams!! If you're hiring, look no further.

Facebook memories tells me that today 15 years ago I posted this image. Back then I was working in Facebook, longing for a creative life. Here I am, many many many mistakes later: still alive, creating, making mistakes. Life is so wonderful: as long as we breathe, we can always choose our next step.

Wish I could internalize this

Hello from frozen Copenhagen!

Certified banger from @neonaurelius.bsky.social store.steampowered.com/app/3473440/...

We're making a card battler that goes very fast from chipping away at a health bar to absolute synergistic mayhem. No long-winded buildup. No time-consuming fillers. No exposition. Short sessions made of pure gameplay. Sounds like your jam? Join our playtest!

I see Sparrow Warfare as one of the most casual hardcore games ever made. Super easy to get started and all depth is in the cards themselves. There are very few systems but they're all intricately interacting with each other.

Given how explosive our game's math is, there's also a lot of balancing to be done. To make the right calls, we need some data by real players. Our numbers escalate pretty intensely and we have to make it so that that feels gratifying and happens at the right time and under the right circumstances.

Our game already offers hours of gameplay and without testers it's impossible to find all those unlikely sequences of actions that lead to unforeseen results. We have hundreds of play modes as the result of our daily run modifiers, for example.

Personally I think Steam playtests are one of the coolest features Valve has introduced in recent years. I can't imagine creating a systems-heavy game like this any other way (given that Early Access is not working as it should nowadays).

We're looking for more people to test our peckbuilder. If you like birds, cards, occasional bugs, and trying out new stuff, we have the perfect game for you! The secret sauce: instead of playing single cards you play sequences of three cards.

Slay The Spire-like made by a tiny awesome indie team of @martinpi.bsky.social & @alphachar.bsky.social. ✨🐦 Be sure to wishlist, too! store.steampowered.com/app/3473440/...

If you haven't playtested @neonaurelius.bsky.social's Sparrow Warfare, now is your CHANCE as their latest public playtest is liiiiiiiive. If you love BIRBS and BIRBBUILDERS, then this is for you. Very fun and lots of modifiers. youtu.be/0G6Ek4ADfbE?...

(4/7) This is our first full year of weekly showcases on Bluesky as well, and it's been incredible. More engagement, tons of follower growth for participants, custom feeds and starter packs (like ours - go.bsky.app/RdUBvce) making it easy for people to find games.

Love being part of this great community! 🙌❤️

well here she is! my very first solo game and all about Ireland's best deli choice: the Chicken Fillet Roll. free to play in browser. LMK what roll you decide to make & if you get the feels or a laugh, even better. this is a roll-driven game. made lovingly in Twine unaminh.itch.io/chicken-fill...
