welcome autumn! 🍂 🎃

This would have a direct impact on my family, thousands of other low and middle income families, absolutely decimating the UK and the lives of everyone involved. The UK will become a hollow, selfish shithole if Farage wins any kind of power. I'll fight tooth and nail to stop it from happening

You’re much closer to becoming disabled or homeless than you are to becoming rich and wealthy. It’s not a moral failing. It’s not something you can “try harder” your way out of. We need robust social supports & safety nets to ensure everyone is properly cared for.

Repost for #screenshotsaturday - I'm working on a new adventure game where you play as a little jackdaw on a quest to save his cosy autumnal hometown! chequered.ink/project-jack... #gamedev #gamemaker

The Conservatives started this experiment. But Labour are fully on board too. No 10 refuse to comment or take action - but we're all paying the price for corporate greed. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I can't recommend this highly enough.

[me, a journalist who spends all day every day on a social media app where the discovery algorithm is personally controlled by its owner, captain birdseye] you know, a lot of people are talking about fish fingers, we should probably cover that

How do we fix this mess?

ICYMI last week we released a bunch of new sprites, FREE for commercial use in game dev (and other projects) starting with these planets for platforming games! chequered.ink/360-platform... #gamedev #art #digitalart

Nobody, and I emphasize, nobody should go to the US. If you're games industry, I promise you that there are better events everywhere else.

Here's Mr. Porkly P. Shanks, your gourmet guide! He'll take you through the dungeon and help you get the most quality food out of the monsters you slay. (And keep you from poisoning yourself accidentally)

A rally organised by Tommy Robinson should be a slam dunk for a Labour government. Most people will recognise it as being led by the far right (and will not identify themselves as such). Violence is predictable too. The PMs and ministers should have been ready to respond immediately.

Yesterday the richest man in the world, Elon Musk, incited an army of 100,000 knuckle-dragging racists in London, led by Tommy Robinson, to overthrow the UK's democratically elected government and use violence against their political opponents. There couldn't be a more stark illustration... 🧵

I bought this last week and it was fantastic. Waaaay more fonts than I thought and they were quality. Y'all do great work and you should be proud of the great work you do!

The Pokémon game where it's animal crossingmon is something I've wanted / suggested out loud to friends ever since I played animal crossing wild world, and if I ever get a Switch 2 I'll definitely be grabbing a copy!

i've used a bunch of these fonts in my zines and illustrations, highly recommend!

Your last saved pic is your philosophy

The whole map for the autumnal game will have 12 x 12 screens (slightly smaller than the zelda games on gameboy) - This orange area here will be the starting town and first dungeon - probably gonna make a demo featuring just this area and see where we go from there! #gamedev #gamemaker

My side project, earthize, was becoming neglected because I was trying to cram it into its own little box, with a vibe that just wasn't me. Much better to play to my strengths & promote sustainability, peace & progressive values through game dev + tech! earthize.org/earthize/pow...

I recently talked to a guy who thinks AI won / is inevitable, who doesn't understand why anti-AI people get so mad about it (handwaves off energy, copyright, jobs) also doesn't see users clog up human review that used to work screenshots are from 2023 and 2024 this has gotten worse across the board

Best of luck to the incredible team running for SpecialEffect today during the #GreatNorthRun! We’ll be cheering for you all the way!

MORE CUTE FOREST FUCKERS! #pixelart
