Due to an overwhelming amount of Nonsense going on in the US farm sector, I am in need of a half-time to full-time video editor

Anybody know someone who is 1) real good at it and 2) not heinously overemployed already?

i agree with this wholeheartedly that reposting and commenting is cool and good, but there's also some "grass is greener over at twitter" going on further down and i just want to drop a quick reminder that X The Everything App is still ran by a nazi who's doing nazi shit on it.

Still obsessing about this observation.

I can’t stop myself from hearing “like a butterbean” every time my daughter plays that song.

“And yet you don’t show your own faces so we could identify you. Curious!”

Writing a Solarpunk Twine Game with SugarCube | Alina Leonova, Sci-Fi Author My second tiny Twine game. It's solarpunk interactive fiction that's based on building relationships within a community.

I fell off the face of the earth again (not really, just the social media plane 😁). In the meantime, I wrote my second tiny #Twine #solarpunk interactive fiction game.

If you are interested in the game itself or what I learned, feel free to check it out alinaleonova.net/blog/solarpu...

Why do I feel like that coverage was just AI summaries produced and published with no oversight?

“ Ultimately, the bad news for the company was that employees, on average, earned larger bonuses because they had improved their performance. The good news was that the intervention provided the company with a simple way to eliminate people who are overpaid and don’t contribute significantly to the business in the first place. The research indicates that the company's bottom line was positive.”

One of the bleakest summaries I have ever read.

You're a billionaire who wants to improve education? Pay taxes, spend advocating for decoupling public ed from property taxes, and give lots of money to make sure that children aren't hungry. You'll do a lot more good than founding another scam school trying to union bust.

I only found out this year how easy it is to cook leeks. Just chopped up and sautéed in butter? They should have been in my menu rotation ages ago!

They laughed at first, when I established my Strategic Beef Jerky Reserve, but WHO’S LAUGHING NOW?!

Some time ago I saw an artist say that folks often put a lot of effort into their work, and then post about it once. Which is such a shame!

Not everyone is awake at the same time, not everyone is online every day, and you put a lot of effort into it!

So go post your work again! Repost it again!

Thanks for writing it!

I showed up because I enjoyed the remark about game obelisks compelling us with sinister forces:

(In my experience, those forces are normally managers who can't distinguish a pillar from an obelisk.)

Quest Design: Majora's Mask v Fallout 4 Last time I did a compare and contrast, it was Mario vs Armored Core in my unhinged attempt to pick apart the broad stroke differences between two vastly different games. We’re gunna return to that e...

Not all open world games are alike: Fallout 4 and Majora's Mask take very different #GameDev approaches to designing quests. @baldsavant.bsky.social explores the strengths and weaknesses of their methods.

a fun thing to consider is that China, and probably Russia, almost certainly have the ability to post from the president's Truth Social account. they just know that they only get to use that *once*.

"normies do not care about this thing and so it is no use raising a stink" is imho just an excuse for not doing politics, which is the job of making normies care about something

Oh, I completely forgot to mention here that I have done some small changes to the games on my Itch (system6302.itch.io) earlier in the month!

Emphasis on "small," but I figured out a glitch effect that I really like.
