It's Stardate 1300.0, folks! That means the game has been online for ~39,000 hours!

To mark the occasion, we've released a whole stack of new features, check out the announcement here: mailchi.mp/85c11d7eaf5e...

To everyone affected by the recent Microsoft (and other) layoffs, you didn’t deserve this. Let’s be clear: the state of the industry right now is not your fault. What we’re witnessing is the result of consistently bad leadership decisions, an industry that has exploited its workers for years, global instability we can’t control, and the crushing pressure of late-stage capitalism that values short-term gains over people. Your contributions mattered. Your work made a difference. And this layoff says nothing about your talent, your passion, or your worth.

The games industry is so fuckin cooked

You're not wrong, but also worth noting that they have now also instigated a Discourse™ 🙃😅

SEO probably?

"digital asbestos" is fantastic framing.

Looks like the galaxy is having some struggs!

Meanwhile the game is still open for signups and player input… just might be a little while before we see Stardate 1257.4 😰

Hi #PitchYaGame 🚂

I just launched my first ever game (!!!) called Islands & Trains last week 🤯

- design your own tiny railway dioramas
- pet cute animals 🐑
- no rules, timers, or stress!

RTs & checking it out would mean the world to me 😁

Oof, I applied for a job here once upon a time, sounds like I dodged a bullet. 😰

This is the way.

I had totally missed the pun until you said this 😅

@marcoroth.dev @rhannequin.bsky.social Will the slides/recording be online? Would love to check it out! ✨

Since the cosmos we've modeled with Ruby/Rails is patently Sci-Fi nonsense, we have to respect anyone doing the real thing 🫡

But don't you??
