The Pope has heard the Action News theme song and watched Jim Gardner

Eyy, Jordan Romano not giving up runs

It’s hardly a happy May Day, and that’s what I’d normally post here. It’s another day in another week where owners damage the industry and the surrounding industries while also damaging their workers. “Necessary May Day,” I guess. Here’s to our building a happier one.

Itch is one of the most important resources on the web right now to get started as a games developer, if not _the_ most important resource. To see it struggling to provide its services because AI companies don't want to respect the boundaries of the internet makes me extremely angry.

Can you DFA an entire bullpen?

I was the sound designer for this documentary. please support Break the Game in anyway you can. it’s genuinely the most important piece of work I’ve been involved in.

Made on commission and originally debuted during the last @infloresce.com Snowdrop Festival, I've finally come around to releasing a new chipska single "Coupon Skater"! Out on bandcamp now! donutshoes.bandcamp.com/album/coupon...

This is such obvious protected political speech that he’s being deported over.

Perhaps it’s because I’m trying to make the years I spent doodling music notes worthwhile but I’m finding I still prefer sketching out melodies by hand.

This—what Trump is doing now in trying to destroy American universities, research, and free speech while blaming it on pretend offense to the Jews is certainly the most profoundly antisemitic act I’ve seen from US government in my lifetime.

Windom Earle is such a Batman ‘66 villain.

Addendum: we musicians are in a bit of a tough spot with this, but listeners are not. Cancel your subscription. There are plenty of other ways to stream or get music. Regardless of whether they do the AI remix shit (which I think they will), Spotify is terrible and shouldn’t get your money

Okay 9 run top of the 9th please

Stop sharing the Ghibli AI slop, what is wrong with you: aftermath.site/studio-ghibli-...

Nats bullpen doing the funniest thing.

It’s not a Wheeler start unless there’s zero Phillies run support

Hey chat, new Two Meeps just dropped 👀👀👀

I'm at the point in learning a piece on clarinet where pushing it faster runs into my current skill limits. It's frustratingly slow but actually pushes my real skills forward. Keeping that in mind is both good and a challenge.

In case you’re attending #GDC2025 and do not know about this; if you’re ever feeling unsafe, need assistance, or see something troubling, you can call this 24 hour hotline. They will listen and assist however possible whether you’re at an official GDC event or simply in San Francisco for the event.

🚨NEW🚨: Donald Trump is attempting to strip away federal support for libraries. We will NOT let that happen. Last night the President signed an order to gut the Institute of Museum & Library Services. But together, we know we can show up & defeat it. Full EO: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Folks are starting a #safeGDC tag, so I thought I’d share my own thread here that I made on the other site back in 2024. As one of *many* who had her drink spiked back in 2023, I want to emphasize safety around parties. I’ll try to keep it short. 1/10 🧵

The tldr is publishers/devs/studios want to be able to use any recording of an actor ever, including video appearances on YouTube or other games and films/TV that aren't theirs, and scrape them to build libraries from. The point is to not pay actors. If you don't pay actors, there won't be actors.

re the previous repost: if they can disappear permanent residents they can disappear citizens

If you're just joining us for #SteamNextFest this beautiful #screenshotsaturday, my NEW game One Million Stars has a NEW demo that's been winning hearts, blowing minds, and kicking butts all week. Get hip, get on it now, before the full game launches March 31st store.steampowered.com/app/3361700/...

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

New screenshots dropped! Play the BRAND NEW demo for One Million Stars as part of #SteamNextFest! I'm goin to bed!!! store.steampowered.com/app/3361700/...

Friends going to GDC, snag these!!!!!

okay i just finished "of the Devil" episode 1 and i am so blown away. extremely good ace attorney inspired game that does so much more with its spin on the style than i was expecting--both mechanically & narratively. really moving, fascinating characters across the board.......can't wait for ep2!!!

i am going to put a finer point on this: executive orders are not laws. and they certainly are not royal decrees. they are interpretations of existing law for the purposes of enforcement. the fact that so many people are treating them as laws is actually driving me a bit insane.

You’d better believe I have microphones pointed out the window for this. I’ve used the handheld recording of the last Eagles Super Bowl win in games before.

Once again, GO BIRDS
