I do game dev in the morning, but sometimes I can't because I have to play laser pointer with my cat 🤷🏻‍♂️

I got some art in my little c++ prototype, so thought I'd share! Really enjoying working on this little maze game so far. Not sure how far I'll go with this, but I'll share progress as I do.

I've been working on a little prototype in c++ lately and I think it's the most game dev fun I've had in years. I've never felt this connected to the project when working in a bigger game engine

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Mahmoud. Mahmoud was a computer engineer doing web development before this. He’s lost his job and home (and many coworkers) and is in a tent with his family including his children Zeina, 6 and Zane, 2. His wife Malak is 7 months pregnant.

Kirby Air Riders really does feel like if the guy who made Kid Icarus Uprising made a Mario Kart

4 contrails crossing each other. Reminds me of the show Pluribus, where they used contrails to spread a virus

Uh oh it's Pluribus time

Companies are going straight from investing in NFTs to investing in AI. Maybe just invest in a GAME??

We need to start indoctrinating moms into far right movements so the kids will think it's cringe and become leftists

I went to 4 different stores today to look for a maze book and came up short, which means it's either an untapped market or there's no audience. Anyway, here's a maze I drew!

Blegh, very tired of this take

The problem is not too many games. Not everyone needs to play every game. Not every game SHOULD need to make a huge sales splash. There is a problem with getting games to their audiences. It's a curation, literacy, storefront, scope, and legacy games culture problem.

Page 1:
Flyer from The Heritage Foundation Oversight Project titled “Transgender Ideology-Inspired Violent Extremism (TIVE): Background and FAQs on Need for an FBI Domestic Terrorism Designation.” The page defines “Transgender Ideology” and “TIVE,” outlining beliefs allegedly associated with them. It claims such ideology justifies violence against opponents or frames opposition as violence. The text references the alleged assassination of Charlie Kirk, urging the FBI to classify TIVE as domestic terrorism. Page 2:
Continuation of flyer with a section titled “Recent Instances of TIVE-Motivated Acts of Domestic Terrorism.” Lists multiple violent events from 2018 to 2025, attributing them to transgender ideology. Includes mugshots of two alleged attackers. Followed by a “Frequently Asked Questions and Key Terms” section, addressing whether transgender people are terrorists, comparing TIVE with “Nihilistic Violent Extremism,” and discussing FBI designations.
Page 3:
Flyer continues with questions about Antifa and FBI terrorism classifications. States that Antifa and TIVE are separate categories. Lists ways the FBI classifies domestic terrorism and identifies typical characteristics of “TIVEs,” such as targeting Christians, mental illness, and online radicalization. Includes images: a “Trans Antifa” logo, a pink-blue-white-striped slogan image reading “Protect Their Right to Exist,” a photo of Audrey Hale with a firearm, and a close-up of a magazine with the words “Where is your God?” Page 4:
Section titled “Terminology Used by TIVE.” Defines terms including cisgender, deadnaming, Gillick competence, misgendering, “Right to Exist,” “Trans genocide,” and a phrase “You either have a live boy or dead girl, you choose.” Each is presented as terminology used in or associated with TIVE. Page layout is text-heavy, no additional graphics.

Heritage Foundation has released an absolutely insane policy proposal to label all trans people as domestic terrorists. It uses completely made up instances of terrorism and made up statistics but facts don't matter to them.

They want us all eradicated.

My 2 cents: Silksong is a game about achieving something difficult in an unfair world. Its gameplay is often unfair and difficult to support the aesthetic and the story, and I think it's able to pull it off in a way few games do.
