I helped build the vertical slice of this game 7 YEARS AGO, and it's finally out ;_; Congrats to the whole team, this final product is SO SO GOOD 🎉

It's crazy that news outlets are reporting that the marines have "secured" the federal building... which is a literal hour drive from where the protests are happening?? stupid

hands off my fucking senator, please!!!

I need a new backpack… what’s the current backpack meta?

Everyone saw Grand Park's hot pink benches being stacked into a barricade on Sunday. What an exceptional statement from RIOS, the benches' designers instagram.com/rios.imagines "These pieces were designed to move, adapt, welcome, connect — and now protect"

ICE raids tried to split LA apart, but might have made it stronger. From coordinating wildfire relief to blocking ICE buses, community organizers say LA County residents keep proving that in a city of strangers, nobody fights alone.

For anyone looking for a good follow-up protest today:

I want to report some good news from LA: ICE picked a hotel in Pasadena to be their headquarters for this side of the city. The residents of Pasadena (myself included) would not stand for this and protested all yesterday in front of the hotel until, eventually, the hotel kicked out ICE!!

I’m probably one of a handful of people who care about Beast Breaker, but I can confirm it runs perfectly on the Switch 2. Load times are quicker, too. @ashervo.bsky.social I really wish a sequel were possible. It’s such a wholesome game.

The latest Threes update has apparently caused a hang on older devices, so it's time to whip out the Small Guns

friends, para-friends, some personal news: i've started a new game studio, brainfruit, with @garrett.bsky.social — we've booted it up with projects like our 6P city council sim TIDE BREAKERS and the fave-bots that swarm the posts i like on here. more soon! @brainfruit.bsky.social / brainfruit.studio

Fighting words from @molly.wiki's talk at the Fediverse House: “We're facing an existential threat. We need a web that serves people, not profit, a web built on protocols, not platforms... It's being built right now by people like you in communities like this one.” flipboard.video/w/p7cECAUgTh...

I do not like how Blue Prince is basically a puzzle game with a slot machine mechanic, but it is genuinely filled with tons of striking moments of wonder. I feel complicated.

Really fun technical read about solving big technical problems as an indie with limited time. The Age Of The Blog is Back

We’re just innocent men

Adam's picodive is what inspired me to make Plumbsum -- I'm in absolute awe that he's kept it up!!

20% of the way to fulfilling the FINJI50 prophecy. astounding

this is what a computer ought to look like

To fuel nuclear fusion, you need tritium. To make tritium, you need lithium 6. To make lithium 6, you traditionally need toxic mercury. But these researchers accidentally stumbled on a mercury-free way to pull the isotope out of brine. Chemistry! 🧪

I launched a new project last week! "Play With Your Own Junk" is a collection of free games you can play with stuff you already own. It's my way of making space for anticapitalist art that challenges overconsumption and the carbon impact of large-scale product production. youtu.be/aMs-FkVK7K4?...

i think the economic boycott has had further reach because the poster is so cute. okay bunny i will listen to you.

Okay, my turn again! Do you need a narrative designer or game writer? Lucky you, because I need a job! I’ve led narrative teams and worked on some of your favorite franchises! Based in LA and not looking to relocate, but happy to travel! Open to full time or contract!
