As promised, here are the slides I shared with students to convince them to NOT use chatGPT and other artificial stupidity. TL;DR? AI is evil, unsustainable and stupid, and I'd much rather they use their own brains, make their own mistakes, and actually learn something. 🪄

ok, cis folks—if you said you'd stand with trans folks, it's time. S.9 is the senate's sports ban bill—a big step to making trump’s executive order a federal law, which is much harder to undo. it can be stopped monday. short call scripts for dem & GOP senators ⬇️🧵 legiscan.com/US/bill/SB9/...

Back in the day, I remember the story of the action-strategy game Hostile Waters seemed improbable. In the near future, the invention of nanotech promises a scarcity-free future. So the world's entire ruling class goes to war against their own people to maintain control. Now it feels prescient.

It's CHARITY MEGABUNDLE TIME! And there's some absolute gems in this one, including Tunic which is just an all-timer and everyone should have it in their library. So let's do a little thread showcasing some of the games, and also the tools you might find handy to navigate this & other Itch bundles.

The feds have set up enddei.ed.gov so anybody can report "DEI" in schools and try to get them segregated. But anybody can submit anything to this portal. You know what to do.

Well done to Congressman Maxwell Frost for fearlessly speaking truth to power today in a session of Congress whilst being both threatened and silenced by corrupt scumbag James Comer. More of this.

I get really irked when I see people post “indies will save us” or “the laid off devs should go indie” THERE IS NO MONEY publishers are cancelling contracts, angel investors/venture capital don’t want small returns. I think they mean hobbyists with a day job working doubletime & that is a rough ask

Congressional Republicans tried to pull a fast one. They called off the budget vote that cuts healthcare for over 38 million children and just put it back up after everyone left to try and make some Democrats miss the vote. Many Dems are voting by card to keep the vote open. I just did mine.

Oof I was expecting bad reviews eventually, 2 at the same time was a bit of a downer (near anxiety attack) at 2am but that's part of the business I suppose, had some whackass ignorant reviews/curates before for EnHanced, it's nothing new to me

Try out the demo for Axyz, it's vaporwave Kula World and has music from me, a simple gecko with a keyboard.

Check out the Axyz demo during the Steam Next Fest ((I hear it's got cool new trailer too!!??)) Mark and co. have been killing it at every stage of this games development, and it definitely deserves your attention 🙏🙌

#FriendShapes small fix may be delayed as my computer bluescreens when I try to zip up v1.2.0, likely due to my dying Intel i9 - replacement is hopefully on Friday so can only hope that the current state of the game is playable and people don't find that one file with the wrong pick-up description💭

Apparently my phone not receiving verification codes anymore from Amazon and me asking on their Reddit for help on how to talk to someone to help me verify stuff to get back in is borderline illegal or something - what is even going on? Like yeah, I'd like to verify via email instead but no option??

Look I know it's a cliché, but call your fucking reps. They don't get scared unless they hear from an overwhelming number of us all the time. Call them every damn day. Tell them to fight the hell back and protect us from Musk and Trump. It matters and it makes a difference, right now. reps.fyi

Amazon's refusing to do a replacement CPU, so I have to send them the busted one, ironically they want it sent by the day -before- the new one is to arrive, and my old i7 is too old to work in the new motherboard... Also my Amazon is locked out cos the OTP won't reach my phone so I have to call em 💭

Utah lawmakers want to ban Pride flags in schools and all public buildings. Obviously folks are fighting this bill, but one thing folks can do is sign up for a flag from Project Rainbow for Trans Day of Visibility next month. I'd love to drench Utah in flags. projectrainbowutah.org/updates-and-...

I think my i9 is dying cos it's making my PC freeze when zipping files and crashing Unreal 5 games, not even had it a year and it's apparently destroyed itself, I don't suppose I can ask Intel for a replacement/something that actually works?

So #FriendShapes has been on Steam for a week, had 5 hotfixes and has made more money in a week, (while on sale) than EnHanced has on Steam in SIX years FS's sold almost 70 units and 4 OSTs - it's crazy neat, but I'm also very weary from constant vigilance, it's all been a bit much for me 🙏💭

What a disgrace. Bezos and the newspaper he has destroyed should be grateful that anyone thinks it’s still worthwhile to buy ad space from them. This is how democracy dies.
