BREAKING NOW: "all major world maps" on the online game GeoGuessr have been privated in protest of GeoGuessr's decision to participate in the Esports World Cup in Riyadh. map creators write that the EWC is used by Saudi Arabia "to distract from and conceal its horrific human rights record." full:

google maps-powered location guessing game geoguessr is the latest to strike a deal with the saudi government-backed esports world cup, but its community isn't taking the matter lying down. instead, they've staged a full-scale revolt that's rendered "basically all" popular community maps unplayable

I'm really excited to see this poll begin tomorrow. I hope it reaches many Pokémon fans and encourages discussion on everyone's favourites, and why they like them so much.

Wish us luck! We just made a NLNet submission!

I have fixed pronouns.within.lgbt

truly jarring watching Israel nearly winning Eurovision Song Contest, immediately followed by BBC news coverage of Israels new ground offensive in Gaza

Progress!

At SD'24, @kristoff.it gave a great lightning talk (div, IDE, and conquer)––and he's back! This time with a story: Systems thinking at application level, software written by developers for developers, and where we could be the protagonist (and at times, the villain)!

It costs $0.00 to support a 32 year old game developer. 🥹 Wishlist Relic Abyss: store.steampowered.com/app/3017760/... #indiedev #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

I’ve been watching the backlog of videos from @nicbarker.com and I cannot stress how good Nic’s videos are at explaining the content they’re diving into. The ClayUI layout algorithm one is particularly fantastic. youtu.be/by9lQvpvMIc?...

We made an official announcement on steam about our demo release date, trailer, why the demo was delayed, and future plans! Check it out here: store.steampowered.com/news/app/301...

Sitting here watching Hackers (the movie) and all I can think about is what a fantastic game #GreyHack is turning out to be. It’s absolutely not talked about enough, it’s such nice take on the MMO hacker simulator genre of games. greyhackgame.com

Time to explore Valley of the Four Winds in a new Touring Azeroth! (literally just me flying around looking for Pointless Top 10 stuff lol) www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcek...

Buch has finally finished cooking our trailer music! Was expecting only just a regular demo music, but what he made was ABSOLUTE CINEMA!🔥🎹🎶 Finally announcing the demo release date + trailer for our game tomorrow! Please stay tuned! Can't wait for you all to see it!!✨🤩 #indiedev #gamedev

Wrapping up a very cozy and productive evening. Sat with my wife listening to music in front of a digital fireplace while I addressed feedback on my #Ghostty bugfix, and added support for insertion in my text editor engine #libfn. Fönn is already using the latest changes and they're work real well!

Doing some final edits on the trailer. Buch is still cooking up the music, but what I've heard so far is pretty epic!👌 Also was stuck in editing hell last week cuz I had to go through 275GB of trailer footage.😵 Full trailer is gonna be 1 min 30 seconds long!📽️🎞️

Just got a notification on Bluesky when someone started one of my repositories on tangled.sh and finally something clicked about what’s so neat about ATProto as a platform. It’s really nice to be able to integrate services on the platform in this way. Really cool stuff!

nothing is beyond our reach

Last night I demoted my Fosstodon admin account, then flipped the switch and migrated to Micro.blog. Here's some thoughts on why I did that. https://kevquirk.com/blog/goodbye-fosstodon
