Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

Got seriously derailed on a Distraction Train this morning and ended up finding a picture online of the movie theater I used to frequent as a kid. It's long gone, of course. This picture is from '93 and even back then this place already felt like something from another time.

Okay but there's an entire planet and having and maintaining forests everywhere sounds absolutely great.

Today's old game music to design by is just the entirety of the SimCity 3000 soundtrack. Track after excellent track. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTlY...

Another example of what Baltimore could do with I-83 to improve the city for its residents, and not just making sure the commuters are happy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqGx...

Drafted an ok skeet involving some Shakespearean slang and Weezer, but frankly it just wasn’t up to the high standards all of you out there deserve. I’ll keep workshopping it until it’s content you can count on.

The Six One Indie Showcase returns on September 18th, 2025! Submissions open on June 20th and will close on July 8th. As always, participation remains completely free and open with zero-barriers to all indies. Interested in submitting? Please visit www.sixoneindie.com/showcase for a full FAQ.

Look at this little vandal destroying my property

Next Fest ends today - maybe it's not the *perfect* time to grab the demo of Camp Keepalive: Endless Summer (it's Monday morning, after all), it's definitely the *right* time. #nextfest #indiegame #indiedev Start summer right - try the demo and wishlist today! store.steampowered.com/app/3637630/...

Today’s find in the dad’s basement dive: Alpha Centauri, the CD-rack version. A real steal at $9.99 and still sealed!

I think my Four Job Fiesta might unfortunately be at an end as, after the Earth Crystal, I still have nobody capable of attacking multiple enemies at once nor a proper healer. Not sure I feel like putting in the grind time to get past the Purobolos

There a reason the protests are being covered differently from the Tea Party The Tea Party was a front for the wealth class that owns the media and were used to demonize necessary reform These protests were democratic and populist, which the wealth class and its media opposes Hope that helps

This would be a summer blockbuster on par with Barbie

Been watching Apocalypse Hotel and it’s great because I genuinely have no idea what will happen or where the story is going to go one episode to the next. delightfully unhinged.

This is not nearly enough spaces to fit “the breakdown of societies”

Just a few more days left in #SteamNextFest - we know there is literally so, so much happening right now, but maybe take a few minutes to lose yourself in summer camp as you push monsters back into the darkness where they belong #nextfest #indiegame #indiedev store.steampowered.com/app/3637630/...

I'm just gonna say it, I don't think non-senators should get shoved and tackled for demanding answers from their government either! Like I think whether he identified himself as a senator or not is sort of beside the point!

Today's random old game music in the queue: #amiga #retrogames www.youtube.com/watch?v=zipk...

Worth considering that one reason Bluesky doesn't always feel super fun is that current events are relentlessly horrifying and bad

I feel like there generally shouldn't be reporting on 'successful indies' that doesn't also mention the massive swaths of indies who can't run 'successful' studios because no one will give you money if you're not already successful

I’ve never forgotten this picture from 2016 and how it completely reshaped my understanding of how the media covers protests.

For anyone interested, I'll be streaming some gameplay and testing of Camp Keepalive: Endless Summer starting in just a moment! www.twitch.tv/zargon_x #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

Steam Next Fest has begun! The perfect time to go give Camp Keepalive: Endless Summer a try! Guide the counselors, thwart the monsters, and save the campers before the camp has its gates shut forever! #nextfest #indiegame #indiedev store.steampowered.com/app/3637630/...

Cockatoos have learned to operate drinking fountains in Australia. The behavior—never before seen in birds—may be a developing cultural tradition among one population: scim.ag/4kIi12G

Just quietly resisting the urge to make some changes to the demo build 3 hours ahead of Next Fest.

Every solodev or microdev I know would love to hire and pay their dev friends, actually.

Camp Keepalive and Station Zeta at the Indie Game Fest in Baltimore, happening now!

Hey #PitchYaGame! Camp Keepalive: Endless Summer - everybody knows the only way to experience summer camp is under threat of horrible, monster-based death. So put on your camp bug spray, guide the counselors, and save all the campers you can! Steam demo: store.steampowered.com/app/3637630/...

You, a dilettante: Cow Me, a connoisseur: Sidestepper

Dropping some key words of wisdom into the Camp Keepalive comments today

Camp Keepalive: Endless Summer has its demo up now ahead of Next Fest, but dropping it a wishlist now would be a huge help! So if you are so inclined, please give it a wishlist and then go save some campers! #indiegame #indiedev #solodev store.steampowered.com/app/3637630/...

I was extremely excited for the FFT remake and it appears to be a pretty jank looking upscale. ...I'll play it anyway.

Earlier mishap aside, we have achieved Achievements #CampKeepalive

Whose got two thumbs and lost three hours of work because he didn't check his color export settings like he should have? 👍👍

Me, coming up with Steam achievements: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes! Me, having to implement those achievements: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck. #indiedev #gamedev

I went onto LinkedIn (mistake one), but saw what was possibly the stupidest fucking promoted post I've ever seen on there, and that's saying a lot. Truly incredible levels of stupidity designed to hook truly stupid people. I try to post only positively on here, but this just flabbered my gasts.

Baltimore-area folks: This Saturday, come see Porch Weather Games at Indie Game Fest at the Enoch Pratt Free Library! Get your first look at Camp Keepalive: Endless Summer in action, survive some spacey robot death in Station Zeta, and check out tons of other amazing local indie developers!
