We are now at the “Ok, it’s a Nazi salute, but not. Nazi Nazi salute” stage of denial.

Our daughter's husband was permanently disabled after multiple injuries sustained in an IED explosion in Afghanistan. Now he has a new enemy. These people wave a flag they never served under while plotting to cut services to those who did. www.theindex.media/e...

Here's my latest talk about helping programmers, writers, artists, educators etc feel better doing business, in particular promoting and charging enough for their work 💸 All of the 2025 Lightning Talks will be available soon (most others are still in editing) on the Boston Indies YouTube channel! ⚡

Gunbuster is absolutely iconic, and I want to share it with the wife, but I'm not sure I can watch it again.

From the guy who said that the Holocaust was nothing to feel guilty about, you know, the one who gave two Nazi salutes in one rally - on camera.

👎 "TTRPG players should take improv so they learn how to roleplay in character" 👍 "TTRPG players should take improv so they learn how to listen"

There was a chibi-like dungeon crawler that had 3d models that remind me of the Etrian Odyssey games, and I can not for the life of me remember what it was called.

roguelike dating sim where you can reset the timeline whenever you want but the way characters feel about you carries over even though they don't remember why

Btw it is entirely ok to ban someone from your community/stream/etc. that is giving you bad vibes even if they don't clearly break a rule. The overall safety, comfort and respect of boundaries of your community and yourself should be paramount. No one is entitled to be in your spaces!

If I win the lottery—I would not tell anybody, but there would be signs.

Sticking it to the fascists is my new day job. Love this!

Godot's shader reference is ok but it's kind of intermixed with tutorials, code & notes. I was constantly scrolling up/down and found it a bit uncomfy. So I made an interactive reference with some combiners and filters to only show what you need... #gamedev #godot #indiegamedev #indiedev #shaders

Unreal. The US government is dumping Asian and African families and children in random countries that they have no connection to. Dumping, not "deporting." Deportation implies the return of a person to their home country. This is treating people like toxic waste. www.cbsnews.com/news/us-depo...

also because they're assumed guilty, denied legal representation, nothing stops them just confiscating and destroying official documents on them and they're taken outside the US this is clearly a formula to disappear anybody for anything without any due process or public coverage about what happened

Mad about the new monster hunter using denuvo again T_T

I'm thinking of starting small events on Discord, where people of any experience level can get together and make micro game prototypes. We get together, share our knowledge and help each other with any roadblocks (code, design, anything) and start to build lasting knowledge over many small games.

The "anti-trans" order led to canceling sexual assault prevention in the military. Title IX rules to prevent sexual assault are gone. It also put "women" on the list of banned words for medical research. www.salon.com/2025/0...

Went to play Tangledeep again, couldn't remember why I stopped playing it, and ah, yes, it's not entirely keyboard playable T_T

Googles response basically being “it’s not making things up, it’s just incapable of telling facts from made up bullshit” would have destroyed a product in the days before the economy was propped up by a thin framework of scams lashed together with investment capital

Please keep going! Continue making your game, art, story etc. Your story deserves to be told ❤️

Disabled patients have a right to safe healthcare. When we ask staff to mask, we aren’t “entitled”. We’re advocating for our lives. We’re trying to protect our baseline. We’re asking for the respect we deserve. We can’t “just stay home” from the hospital. Masks should be mandatory.

This same sentiment can be applied to a lot of things that aren't Gen AI

I’m seeing a lot of soft takes from industry mutuals at the moment that we shouldn’t be so hard on those who use generative AI because it’s becoming harder and harder to resist. Wrong. Betraying your ethics (and your peers) because ‘everyone else is doing it’ does not suddenly make it acceptable.

I wish there was a way to get a foot massage without interacting with anybody. Feet go in box, feet get massaged, I don't have to look anyone in the eyes about it.

"In fact, COVID is highly vascular, attacking the blood vessels and increasing your risk of blood clots. And at this late date, there’s no excuse for the public to be under the impression that COVID solely affects the lungs; it is a deliberate decision to leave people in the dark." 💯

My desire to build unhinged, unworkable objects competes with my desire to build accessible things.

Guys, really really really really start wearing masks again. With an information blackout, by the time we find out it’s jumped to human to human contact, it may be too late.
