I am super excited to discover a new Jorane album dropped today! Apparently this is the soundtrack to an aerial acrobatic show by the same name. Now I wish I could see the show... open.spotify.com/album/5L1YB6...

For those still following the ongoing IFPA organizational discussions after the Women's Advisory Board quit. There is not much in this announcement, but having Ashley and Kaylee being theoretically equals to the other staff (except Josh) would be good, if true. www.ifpapinball.com/staffing-and...

Sometimes when the world is going to shit, something positive comes along to make your day a little brighter. Today, that is GWAR covering Pink Pony Club. youtu.be/I5XR48KLE8I?...

Clone Trois was one of my favourite Blippo+. It is cool to hear glimpses of how it was made.

If you had the US Constitution, article 2 of the UN Charter and $3.50, that would be worth enough to get you a cup of coffee.

I will never stop being confused as I read headlines and snippets about MTG as I continue to always read it as Magic The Gathering.

This is a super hero I can get behind

I used to follow covermesongs.com daily, but now I just look at they "Best of" lists each year. This year I was excited Good Kid came in at 33. I don't really know their music, but I know their lead singer from his other career. Always fun to see worlds cross. youtu.be/6ibNNZlEhyw?...

I still have very clear memories of playing Crusader: No Regret on Christmas. The small seasonal Easter egg permanently etched in my brain.

My late dog Gozer. She was my heart dog; she died almost two years ago but I miss her every day. This is soft pastel on sanded paper. #Art #ArtistsOfBluesky #Dog #DogPortrait #SoftPastel #GozerDog

Today I felt like I had some time to take Portal out of my P3 and catch up on 2 3rd party games I missed during development. Young Martial Artist and Nezzex City. I love this part of the platform.

At the Ontario Open for my first pinball event as a suppressed player. I am happy that the TD is also allowing people to opt out of IFPA participation. I was wondering if it would help with nerves and playing better. So far, no. Lol

I am feeling a hint of optimism for the first time since the OBX flippers incident. The resignation of the WAB. The change.org signatures (3.5% of the active player base). Many TDs unified in pulling the IFPA sanctioning of their events in protest. Players suppressing. This is not going away.

Interactive fiction / text adventure games were a huge part my childhood. I am someone who struggles with reading and writing. My parents encouraged me to play video games because games like zork got me reading. Any reading was good reading. github.com/historicalso...

docs.google.com/document/d/1... This statement from 65 players in the San Francisco scene makes statements about their own recent issues and solidarity for the OBX Fall Flippers situation. The IFPA deleted it in their own Discord, citing "discussion on the IFPA's response to [their OBX decision]."

I fully support the demand to de-sanction this event and not award WPPRs.

I am completely uninformed here. I don't even know what state OBX is in, or the current legislative rights or anti-rights. But fuck this. Pinball is for everyone. Pinball should be a safe space, but sadly continues not to be.

As part of his new role with Multimorphic, Kevin is making cool social media content. This is a fun exploration of some of the features on #portal for Multimorphic P3 #pinball platform. youtube.com/shorts/1d7Y_...

This is super fun that this has quietly been sneaking its way into games for years. Now if only my B worked reliably lol

This year's Halloween #pumpkin. Full 3D Reggie from #Portal #P3 #pinball and a raven, along with a Raven and our usual DMD artificial pumpkins.

I released an update to Bird Watcher for the Multimorphic P3 pinball platform today. It adds support for the new Portal module (which I am a developer on)

I feel since the big Kashi strike, quality control has gone downhill. I often get incorrectly packaged bars. This was surprising though, 7 bars instead of 5. Weight was way off. Heck, this might have set off the self checkout machine at the grocery store.

...And we're out of beta, we're releasing on time It is exciting to see the game reach this milestone. Games have reached customers, 1.0.0.0 is released to the public. There are some really cool experiences waiting for you in this game. #portal #pinball #multimorphic #p3

I am pretty far removed from academic computer science these days, but this popped up in a recommended article, and just as a result, this is very cool. I will try to file this away as weird trivia. arxiv.org/abs/2504.17033

I see the Frogs of Portland and they remind me of Frog (Glenn) from Chrono Trigger.

Every time I see a photo of Stephen Miller, it reminds me of the Miike Snow music video Genghis Khan. Maybe one day he will find his James Bond and stop being an evil villain. youtu.be/P_SlAzsXa7E?...

FOLDERS! Ok, actually they seem to be labels, but we don't need to get picky.

My disappointment in Google is difficult to put into words. The company I left at the end was not the same as the company I joined at the beginning. But part of me still hoped that they stood for some of their principles. Where's the billionaire willing to use their wealth to make the world better.

Out of all the comic book villains that would be represented in the US government version of the League of Villainy, the Beard Hunter was not on my bingo card.

I thought, ok, maybe me mumbled or it was hard to hear, but nope. Nope he just said that. www.c-span.org/clip/senate-...

#septembit end of day 29. I caught up and moved ahead adding bin, hospital, bridge, park and skyscraper. I will see if I find time to try to put do day 30. It will be hard because by scales and perspectives don't all work together.

Portland, most pinball machines in a War Ravaged city.

#septembit days 23 and 24. Fence and Beach. Well, it was a actually supposed to be bench, but I misread it at a glance. So I am running with it. Beach now.

#septembit day 22. Water. I did a meandering stream.

#septembit day 21. Building. The dormer was supposed to be a circular hole like a bird house, but it doesn't really work. Lol.

#septembit days 19, 20. Fountain and Plant.

#septembit day 17 and 18. Animal and Streetlight. Any similarities to any ska bands is purely coincidence.

#septembit days 15 and 16. Cash Machine and Statue. A little rushed, but done.

#septembit day 13 and 14. Fire Hydrant and Restaurant. I was at a pinball event yesterday (I had fun, but was disappointed with my play/finish) so I had missed yesterday's drawing. The Hydrant was hard. I drew 4 of them before settling in this composition.

#septembit day 12. Construction. I should have filled the space more, but that is empty for safety reasons, or something.

#septembit day 111. Food Stall. Again, not thrilled with this. But it gets the job done so to speak. Not really on theme, I guess it should have been a bird feeder design lol.

Let's start with murder is awful and wrong. Whether that is Kirk, or Hortman, or Thompson or 11 Venezuelans on a boat. I had never heard of Charlie Kirk before yesterday. It has been fascinating to get a skewed picture of who he was only from posts on social media across the political spectrum.

#septembit day 10. Path. Kind of a quick sketch today. I light revisit. There is no sense of depth, but it tiles, so that is something.

#septembit Day 9. Shop. Continuing my bird theme and my isometric view have been trying. The roof doesn't really work, but I kind of like it anyway.

#septembit day 8. Tree. No. 1. The Larch. Ok, this is clearly not a larch, but I can still make the joke.

#septembit day 7. Rail Track. Since my repeats are not on the square tile this cheats a little to show the repeat (the repeat is on the 1/2 square offset but the other tiles fill it). But that is fine, the rules are more suggestions.

#septembit Day 6. Car. I really struggled with this. I tried a bunch to do a more isometric / perspective car. But failed. So we get an orthographic side view. At least it reads as a car
