wibbly wobbly frame-by-frame photoshop cs3 animation made for the creative commons, to illustrate an astrophysics paradox, is the best of us

this is the platonic ideal of a wikipedia gif, to me en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olbers%...

I'm not able to attend PAX Unplugged this year, but it's always so good to have my work there through IPR (who do so much for us crowd-shy writers). They've got copies of both The Ground Itself & World Ending Game at the booth if you've been looking to pick them up!

I've spent the last few days just thinking about how completely perfect this screenshot is

Coming soon: Realis A new tabletop roleplaying game by Austin Walker

Surprise, we're getting pretty close to the final version of REALIS!

this is today! we'll be approximately here. look for the rainbow parachutes.

some reminders:
- wear warm clothes, it's 47F at best! we're outside for 3 hours, sometimes standing still
- bring a mug / cup of some sort for tea
- if you want, bring a toy / prop of some kind to play with

Also worth noting that "well, I guess I just can't leave the country right now because the government's fucking with me" is a situation green card holders have been used for a long time—another demonstration any indiginity the government pushes on immigrants will eventually be turned on citizens too

You don't even need hype men with haters like this.

Cheney was so evil that him dying actually lifted a curse

it's sooo cool if you caught that above you, super lucky with both your timing and the timing of the twilight

there was a european satellite launch today! i think you caught the second stage of the ariane 6 rocket

The students show up with so much dedication, focus, and personal voice. They're wonderful.

Pratt has a gorgeous campus in Brooklyn, NY, and a good relocation package (though H-1B visas are currently cut off to us). Coding literacy, an advanced degree, and past teaching experience are requested.

Pratt Game Arts is an undergraduate generalist game design program. We teach towards an 'industry standard' skillset but encourage students to build those skills while making experimental, strange, personal, and poetic games– the kind of work that emerges out of being housed in an art school.

Come work with me!



We've opened the search for a full time, tenure-track Assistant Professor in Game Arts at Pratt Institute.



A good match would be an artist, game developer, or educator with an active creative practice in indie games, game studies and theory, playful coding, or art games.

no hate to the blessed interviewers who live outside of the discourse, but i was recently asked “when was the first time you realized games could also be art?” and pulled my first ever no comment

video games won't be art by the time i'm done with em

Text: A computer can never be horny, therefore a computer can never make art

a fascinating writeup on the making of a set of widely distributed IDF propaganda videos, specifically identifying assets they used. there's something incredibly unsettling about the creative ethos here. stolen assets. no actual intelligence information at all. just hubris and pure fabrication.

When you realize how long it takes for a single tree to become fully mature and how many trees it takes to be productive... This is just one more method of *generational* violence.

Multi-generational vulture nests hold 700 years of human artifacts Crossbow bolts, sandals, slingshots, and more.

super cool study found human artifacts in Bearded vulture nests, incl. "weaponry like a crossbow bolt and wooden lance, decorated sheep leather, and parts of a slingshot....a shoe made from twigs and grass is ~675-years-old." link to paper: doi.org/10.1002/ecy..... www.popsci.com/environment/... 🧪🌍🦉

A gallery installation view with a flat screen mounted on a white wall, showing a minimal digital artwork of a small, blue-toned object resembling an animal or abstract shape centered on a white background with text above it. Below the screen stands a simple, tall wooden pedestal on a gray concrete floor. Overhead fluorescent lights illuminate the space.

A person in a gallery stands in front of two wall-mounted screens. The left screen displays a paused YouTube interface with black background and white text, while the right screen shows a map with blue water and white land. The person wears a black beanie, a gray sleeveless vest over a black shirt, and black cargo pants, carrying a black backpack. They hold an exhibition booklet titled and look down at it while standing close to the screens.

Hostile Platforms / Beloved Margins, a solo exhibition by @everest.bsky.social Pipkin, is now in its last week, on view until 2 October, Wednesday and Thursday, 3–7 PM.

did a big post on the Piranesi larp I did last month blog.vbuckenham.com/i-was-a-chil... - my first ever big larp, and i thought people might want to have a sense what it's like to do something like this!

omg the talk/speaker lineup for Roguelike Celebration (@roguelike.club) 2025 looks sooo good:

So obviously one of the most vital events in videogames right now, I really hope I can make the time to attend this year.

it occurs to me that some of you may not be aware of the completely insane UI for the Legend Entertainment quasi-text adventures
