I have shared this story, this thread, before - but I think given the state of the world, it's worth telling once again. Maybe it can help, especially if like me, you make art, and you wonder what the use of all of it is right now.

FF1 Pixel Remaster is SO MUCH BETTER than the original, there are so many QoL improvements. I wouldn't have the patience to beat the original without that.

Yall better be both sharing the Stand up for Science posts /and/ figuring out how to get your butt to one of them! @standupforscience.bsky.social

I know it's -wild- to link to LinkedIn from here but hear me out, I think @abletoplay.bsky.social is a massive step for accessibility in games and I would love for you to read about it. There's no fundraising or anything here, just a good thing you should know about www.linkedin.com/posts/ramiis...

There are only three types of game developers. I will not explain

Colonized nations made the world. Our resources, our sciences, our people - over dozens of millennia, that's what made the world. Then the Western empire burned the world down in 500 years to siphon wealth via subscriptions to generated video of the Hawk Tuah girl wishing someone a happy birthday.

If they wanted to take over the country, they only had to wait like three weeks until every technocratic nerd was unreachably distracted. They fundamentally do not understand us, and that is why they will lose.

In children per year, the US birth rate is at an all-time low, but in Miles’ per hour it’s at an all time high.

to be fair they did used to have an episode of crash course.

well this wins the internet today

Historical Palestinian game Dreams on a Pillow surpasses funding goal

No one has a useful definition of AGI, so let me at least propose an exclusion: An AI system very obviously cannot be AGI if it does not know the difference between telling the truth and telling a lie.

I hope my wife knows that when I say, “…and it turns out that double-stranded DNA viruses probably evolved completely independently from RNA viruses making them, in a sense, entirely different categories of disease…” what I really mean is, “I love you.”

Here we go, something I've been drafting for a long, long time: how the US-centric approach to video games and their history / culture basically gaslights us who come from other realities: felipepepe.medium.com/the-gentrifi... AKA, why LAN Houses, PokéTibia & Bomba Patch rule.

This is a fascinating article, and a reminder that TB is caused by impoverishment as much as it's caused by bacteria.

Dark Matter is the best and worst branding in science. Best because “DARK MATTER” kicks ass, but worst because dark matter physics sounds like it is an /explanation/ for something weird about the universe when actually it is just…something weird about the universe.

Holy crap, Mars Express slaps like a yaoi paddle.

Book: “This likeable character does not want to go on a journey or be a hero” Me, for the 10,000th time: “Oh, then I suppose they won’t.” Book: “Despite everyone’s desires, our character must go on a journey and become a hero…” Me: 🤯

Let the world's largest iceberg inspire you: Even after spending months spinning in the same spot, you too can become unstuck.

It’s never aliens.

If you ever have the opportunity to be an author, businessperson, comedian, and science communicator PICK ONE.

Another thing I made this year. Pigeon history!

To all of you who has supported @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social's Dreams of a Pillow already: thank you so so so much for being a part of this ever-improbable dream of a Palestinian developer making a Palestinian game about Palestinian stories. Read up, signal boost, support at launchgood.com/1948

For years, the Awesome Socks Club has had tens of thousands of subscribers, and that’s created a problem. We always over-purchase by a little bit and NOW WE HAVE EXTRA! But also, Good.Store is having a 25% off Black Friday sale which means NOW IS THE TIME!! (Code Save25) good.store/products/mys...

I want to make a personal appeal for the beautiful new game of Palestinian gamedev @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social. As nobody will fund a game about the 1948 Nakba, Rasheed is crowdfunding via launchgood.com/1948. I've been doing production advice on the game pro bono, and it deserves to exist.

Shuhei "Shu" Yoshida is leaving PlayStation, and I hope we get to see some more of him somehow. One of the most generous and genuine people I have had the joy of working with over the past decade or so. So many incredible memories and stories. blog.playstation.com/2024/11/26/a...

I have a podcast with my wife where she tells me if I should delete my tweets...but now I've left Twitter and so today's episode is "Oops All Skeets!" Come along...you belong....feel the fizz!!! It's called "Delete This" and you can get it wherever there are podcasts.

One thing that is always true about indie game development is that when @sliwinski.bsky.social has a "how to handle your finances" tip, it is worth listening to what he's saying. He's 100% right about this - expect wild shit to come, don't wager your team's future on it swinging the right way.

For the last three years, we have had tens of thousands of people subscribed to a monthly sock subscription that donates all profit to charity. Every month, we order a little extra just in case. Over the years, that has resulted in...a warehouse problematically full of socks. We are...oversocked.
