I really hate asking for money, but if you want to help me get through this very last stretch of development which coincidentally seems to be when my finances are the worst they've ever been, I would greatly appreciate it.

I couldn't be more excited to announce something I've been working on for a long time - Please welcome Belltower House Artist Residency, a multidisciplinary gift of time in my erstwhile home in southern New Mexico, now accepting applications for 2026. belltowerhouse.org

Fence is like a trolley that moves along a track independently of player. Despite not being the coder, I've prototyped for a few of our games. My prototypes tend to be drastically different from final game, but containing kernels of ideas that are useful in conversation and planning! :P

To celebrate Anodyne's 13th birthday I thought it'd be fun to go down memory lane of showing what selling games was like in early 2013, before the Age of Steam. Desura, Fastspring, Humble Widgets, IndieDB, BMTMicro... Info in alt texts!

Remarkable: Trump's planned migrant prison camps are hitting deep resistance in red areas. In Virginia's partly rural Hanover (+26 Trump) opposition is intense. GOP leaders in other states are opposed. Voters are rejecting mass deportations big time. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2060...

happy 13th birthday to anodyne 1!! Anodyne is a teenager now!! if you'd like to celebrate, we still have plenty of Anodyne Fanbooks and t-shirts left at our store! analgesicproductions.bigcartel.com

I really want to find the exact version of snake (pc game) that I played as a kid. It had very beautiful art (prerendered 3d? somewhat psychedelic?) and tons of cool levels where the walls formed cool patterns or drawings. Maybe it'll be on eXoWin9x..

New Stop Caring article is live. @aglhrm.bsky.social returns to the site, blessing us with an essay on Dragon Quest VII, gnosticism, and the secularization of game mechanics. Really riveting read, was an absolute pleasure to read and edit.

i made a version of wikipedia you can doomscroll xikipedia.org

It really is worth understanding what an escalation this is by the feds to be teargassing the big family friendly march

Hennepin County Sheriff Dawanna Witt needs to stop assisting ICE. It’s very clear that the sheriff’s department has been harassing, intimidating, arresting and coming out in force to assist ICE. They have been using force against neighbors who are working to protect our immigrant neighbors. 2/

Turns out that you can simply chose not to sell your warehouse and prevent it from becoming a detention center www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

This place is a treasure. A little mall filled with vendors - delicious food, fun wares, kind people. A real heartbeat of a place. If you care about saving immigrant heritage in this fucking monstrous thing, please help them. I am.

Hey yall. As you've seen here - unfortunately a large portion of the ivy road team was laid off today, myself included. We're all looking for work! Gonna do a quick thread about those who were laid off today and why you should hire them:

While we've gotten affirming feedback on Engine Angel, pitching unfortunately hasn't been successful. As a result, we've had to make the hard decision to lay off five team members. Each of these devs are incredible: if you have a place on your team, or know someone hiring, please keep them in mind!⬇

THREAD. There's one proposal that would make a difference and that is popular across the population: if ICE or any other federal employee violates your constitutional rights, you should be able to sue them for damages without any immunity or other procedural technicalities that now make it harder.

I always recommend people spend less time consuming news and more time with long form journalism. Well, this is one of the best things you'll read. It's a hopeful story that has long been inspiring to me, and it's told beautifully here: www.gq.com/story/walpol...

I feel very strongly that now is the time for NIMBY’s to shine. Every regulatory and procedural lever should be tested. Slow them down.

Do any other game developers or publishers want to send over some game codes we can send to donors during our ICE Out Charity Stream this Friday with @giantbomb.bsky.social? Please reach out - [email protected] bit.ly/iceoutminnea...

Angeline Era is like a dream: random, transcendent, frustrating. That feeling made it one of my favorite games of 2025. My review: unwinnable.com/2026/01/29/a...

Paper details how police pushed for body cams so that they could protect themselves and control narrative while policing and surveilling more aggressively. Dems allied w cops to create narrative that this was somehow a corrective for state violence, now every time they kill they get more $$/power

please help pass this link around to stock up this rescue team. people have been released from ice custody injured and improperly clothed. this is to help search teams be prepared

Striking numbers which demonstrate, in spades, how tiny is the popular support for the culture of hate that Britain's institutions seem determined to impose on a kind and accepting majority. (Expect the BBC to ignore it or qualify it to oblivion.)

It’s really difficult & disorienting but the feds hit LA extremely hard today. There were kidnappings all over & reported cluster raids in Chinatown, East LA, Ktown. This list shows to 1130 AM but they haven’t stopped all day Just because the media attention stopped doesn’t mean the abductions have

Absolutely incredible sequence from CNN. "Maduro was a paranoid lunatic always lying about the CIA trying to overthrow him. Anyways, now that the CIA has overthrown him..."
