Screenshot of a Bluesky feed. A Double Fine post about their new lighthouse game, “Keeper,” appears just below a repost of a TikTok video entitled “Fun facts from a lighthouse.” The video features a weathered man with a big white beard who resembles Tim Schafer, but who is allegedly an unrelated lighthouse keeper from Norway named Paal.
Apparently this is just a coincidence and that is not @timoflegend.bsky.social.

Not just vibecoding, they apparently intend to do vibedesign as well. It's filler all the way down!

True, there is a lot you can do if you're lucky enough to have both spare time and a day job. Which I suppose was also somewhat true back then, but it was much harder to deliver anything to an audience.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane
I think President Trump is brave to shut down the government instead of releasing the Epstein files
