Battle team selection was a bit tedious so I added a new way to make it easier 🪲⚔️ You can also sell multiple bugs faster now. UI is always so much work but it's satisfying when it comes together!

your outie always draws on the correct layer

There are still kids in this thread who haven't hit their goal yet. This is a great way to support them and get cookies in the process.

The thing about AI is that they are "convincing" at the speed they can create stuff that sounds real. But at best, that is all they are. A client decided to use an LLM to write their scripts and alot of what was "made" was effortless text... And then we spent days, weeks making corrections 🫠

Another way the dictatorship might kill you. This is from a friend who is a retired air traffic controller.

Government’s wins are often invisible: Systems that avoid plane crashes; alliances that avert war; surveillance that prevent pandemics. Government wins are often *the avoidance of loss.* So how do we tell the story of the destruction of government? The story of future losses *not* averted?

If the liberals run an ad with just this clip on a prime time slot it’s over for real

Mask bans are the new 21st century Ugly Laws. If you are nondisabled and are able to wear a mask/respirator, PLEASE DO as much as possible— in public, at events, and **especially** in healthcare settings. Normalize them. When masks are illegal in public, disabled people are illegal in public.

Took me a second to realize I should go for straits/runs/sets rather than the typical solitaire stacking kind of thing but then it clicked. Great little solitaire game! ♥️♦️

Made this solitaire game with @rothiotome.bsky.social over the weekend at @malagajam.bsky.social. It's free on @itch.io and you can even play from your phone without downloading anything. ludipe.itch.io/solitario-ba...

This is going to be SO LOVELY 🤩💚

Feels so nice to be on the big socials less

Hiring without inclusivity is a great way to have your product alienate giant swathes of consumer demographics via myopic design choices. Literally a positive capitalist move. That the dudes who treat money as god harder than anyone have decided against it seems so wild & so so dumb.

Yes, we’re hiring another historian! Remote within US only, unfortunately (I do not make the rules). And Mark is correct that we’re interested in hearing from History PhDs!

Happy Winter Solstice! These photos were taken with a pinhole camera I made from a beer can and left out from Summer to Winter Solstice - a 6 month exposure. Bottom line = Winter Solstice. Top line = Summer Solstice. The lines are the Sun moving across the sky w/some reflections. No line = clouds

I don’t actually need to know how to unwrap uvs but this was incredibly relaxing to watch 😆

Before Bandcamp Friday's over, (100% of purchases to artists), reminder that @workwithindies.com has an incredibly sick compilation of games composers supporting Palestine- maybe pick up a copy if you have the means and would also like some sick tunes~ workwithindies.bandcamp.com/album/compos...

2024 currently has more known games industry layoffs than 2023+2022 combined. 2024 is roughly 600 layoffs away from doubling 2023. There is still plenty of business days left in the month. I can't emphasize enough how extreme these last few years have been. So far.

KO_OP is offering art to anyone who donates to help Lebanon and Palestine. Donate $20 USD or more and select some art from our roster of artists. I'm contributing some of my block prints, carved and printed by hand, by me! Go check it out!! More info: bit.ly/3Zrw04X

Can't imagine a better project deserving of people's support. Help make this game real bsky.app/profile/rash...

My favourite update for Fish Game to date. The societal complexities inside aquariums with smart fish was what hooked me on fishkeeping in the first place. We've finally nailed it. (buy here!) store.steampowered.com/app/1372150/...
