#GodotEngine 4.4 is finally here! 🚀 Look forward to plenty of quality of life improvements hidden within this release. Faster load speeds, reduced stutter, streamlined processes, and more! godotengine.org/releases/4.4/

And one more from the angsty Industrial 90's.

A little tune for a Monday morning.

I’m excited to announce that due to popular demand, we will release the full animatic of Flow aka Float aka the Crazy Frog Edition. Instead of using storyboards, all the scenes are designed directly in 3D. Everything was made in Blender and rendered in EEVEE.

Man Flow was a good movie. The kind of magic one needs right now.

It really is funny that during Winter I convince myself I hate maintaining my house and planting things to eat and such, and then when Spring suddenly happens I can't get enough of trying to plan of what will go where and how it will work.

I have worked in tech for a long, long time. This conversation spoke to me in many ways. Give it a listen.

Today is the day we put our new coop together and I continue to look for some Austrolorp pullets. Having chicken is pretty great. I missed it. Next I'm really thinking about starting a hive. Why? Mead. I brew mead. I drink mead. Honey is expensive. Think of me as a viking homesteader.

Security experts warned Friday about a widespread zero day vulnerability, tentatively dubbed "CVE-2025-TRUMP," that threatens to let Russia backdoor....well, everything.

Well, it's obvious that institutions aren't going to save themselves or any of us. Find good people, make good trouble, and good luck to us all. Together we will survive this, divided we fall.

Quelle galère de prendre des couleurs directes en photo. Ça rend A PEU PRÈS ça... 🙂

As an American who deals with infosec this an incredible and puts us over the proverbial barrel. Much like literally everything else they're doing.

Balatro has actually made me care about real life poker again, something I've never been good at but it is one of those friendly card games that people can generally pick up a game of together pretty much anywhere.

The U.S. government has put up a submission form for reporting schools who teach kids about “DEI.” It accepts file uploads. Internet, you know what to do enddei.ed.gov

New RPG Review is up. Taking a look at the modern-era Call of Cthulhu adventure Inversion. It's a weird dungeon crawl, survival horror that focuses on the character's dark secrets and fears while also showing the dangers of discount MythBusters channels. youtu.be/8jbBGGBfPPA

Now this is a cool use of AI.

Having jumped on the Balatro train late, I can safely say that when the world gets a bit much, it is the perfect game to refocus and reflect.

This is the second entry, and already shaping up to be our last, as all relevant release blockers have been dealt with! While we prepare for the stable release—no more than a week’s time from now—let’s enjoy one last roundup of changes. #godotengine godotengine.org/article/rele...

Propaganda really has been turbo charged in the age of AI. It's one thing that this exists. It's another it was reposted by the President of the United States.

A great home brewed Cthulhu Dark scenario about corporate retreats, an the insectoid parasitic life coaches that inhabit them. Everyone became 100% more efficient.

We're now in cartoonishly evil territory.

Mother FUCKER. "Thank you for your interest and excitement surrounding our latest Wacom Intuos Pro release! Unfortunately, these units were mistakenly shown as "in stock" on our eStore earlier than they should have been. They are not actually not yet available for purchase."

It's been a bit but I committed to buying a coop I can modify if needed for three Australorp pullets I'm looking to pick up. I loved having chickens. 3 instead of 5 feels right, and keeping with one kind of bird that does well with the climate. I can't wait for the cooing and bloody murdering.

I hope that "Prompt Engineer" has become the pejorative I feel it is deep within my heart.

This song has been popping into my head a lot lately.

Working in tech, this is the logical conclusion of the weird stiffy people have for eternal quest for efficiency...and it truly is horrifying.

I need one of these guys for 2025. So I'm getting one.

If you work in InfoSec and ever plan to work with Christopher Hadnagy or hire Social-Engineer, LLC I would strongly suggest reading this court filing, page 8 onwards. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.wawd.329575/gov.uscourts.wawd.329575.83.0.pdf

Also I finally discovered Balatro which speaks to my love of poker (which I'm terrible at) and love of weird rules hacking along with great pixel art.

"My motorcycle is also a werewolf" was one of the funniest reveals of any videogame ever. It's a throw away gag but in the context I had a much needed belly laugh.

In other news my current mood has informed the home brew Cthulhu Dark scenario I've created. I look forward to making tacos and terrorizing the investigators.

Sweet Chickens, the Wacom Intuos Pro Medium 2025 finally got order-able, so it's ordered. I really can't wait.

In what might be the perfect 404 Media story of AI, politics, hacking, and feet: AI video of Trump sucking Musk's toes was blasted on government office TVs today www.404media.co/ai-video-of-...

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

Machiavelli was tied to "The Prince" in popular culture, but his greater work was "Discourses on Livy". It is a larger work but I think it is worth the read as it has a lot to say about what we're going through right now, and why the GOP are about to "find out" as it were.

I'm also kept upright by coffee and great mixes from the past like this one:

2025 has really come at me in every possible direction. The things that are keeping me sane is the warming weather, the TTRPGs I get to run for friends I then cook for, and my many hobbies that are there to catch me when I fall, and the Pivo the magic mutt. But also the mead. 100 times the mead.

Protesting, organizing, educating, lobbying, caretaking, transporting, donating, creating, archiving, strategizing... ...resisters may play many different roles at many different times in the fight against fascism

DITCH HIM 🇨🇦🇺🇸

Time to finalize a home brewed Cthulhu Dark scenario. The players are just starting to get comfortable with the "destroy the evidence" mechanic to grisly results. I can't wait to see what they come up with.

It's Nice To Be Disliked (By One Of Those)

Today deserves the best of all Witch House mixes.

happy friday! just leaving this here...
