Why would they throw away the user goodwill they currently have by enshittifying this place with "AI" nonsense? Makes absolutely no sense, and is an awful decision for the platform, in my opinion.

I'm guessing the queer game dev starter pack has done the rounds again. Welcome new folks! I'm not particularly interesting right now, but I'm definitely here, queer and making games I'm under NDA for!

Do not dunk. Do not quote-post. Do not screenshot and repost. They wish to be visibly cruel because it makes them feel big and strong. Block them with the most powerful block button we've had on social media to save yourself the energy, and save others from the garage being spread

Some good news! Izzy just got a letter saying I'm staying on enhanced PIP for both daily living and mobility until December 2028. They didn't even do an assessment. Some of the specifics are wrong but this is such a massive relief. We've been worried about this since April.

The entire report at the NHS on suicides after restrictions were placed on puberty blockers left out a high profile suicide death. They manipulated the numbers to get the headlines they wanted to continue banning care.

What the UK Government could be doing: * Reducing homelessness * Funding the NHS What the UK Government is doing: * Stopping trans kids from accessing needed treatment * Allowing prison populations to grow to breaking point Feels like their priorities might be in the wrong place, huh?

Looks like @itch.io is back up. Still utterly ridiculous that a registrar would just accept some random request from an "AI"-powered service to take it down. Shame on iwantmyname.

The fact this was even possible is utterly ridiculous.

Serves me right for wanting to update my handle to actually show my forename, right? Invalid handle indeed.

I've been excited to be able to talk about this for a while! We're bringing two new arcade cabinets to #ArcadeParadiseVR at the start of next month, and the game is coming to the Pico 4 family of headsets on the 28th November!

This is a reminder to regularly check your breasts, no matter what your gender. Know what's normal for you, so if it changes you can get it checked out quickly. In related news, I've got an appointment with the breast clinic a week on Friday. It's probably fine but we need to be sure 😊

We're having a bit of of a time with @dannilion.com at the moment. Medical stuff, but probably nothing massively worrying. Hospital appointment end of next week to see how worrying it is. I'm sure they'll be okay and it'll be nothing.

I'm allowed to be annoyed that my body has decided that the first day of a week off work is the perfect time for a headache, right? Because I just cannot shift it. Harrumph.

It's the weekend of the Brazilian Grand Prix! Always a thrill! Often controversial! Keep up with the commentators as they reel off corner name after corner name with my Almost Entirely Accurate Circuit Layout Guide! I had some help for one or two corners from Sannemen over on Mastodon for this one.

I should do a proper intro if I'm going to be here more! Hi! I'm Izzy (she/her), a trans games programmer living in the North East of England. The latest project I've been on is Arcade Paradise VR! I also look after my spouse, play too much World of Warcraft and obsess over penguins just a bit!

I have been informed that this season's list of storm names includes Izzy. I really should have realised that picking a common name would do this.

One day I'll use this website more. Right now it doesn't have quite the same sense of community that pre-elon twitter had.

It's 20 to 3 in the morning and I'm wide awake. Seems my history for not oversleeping alarms is safe.
