this is important and godot is absolutely worth funding more

another reason to hate AI. this is in no way godot's fault, it's another hidden cost of AI other people (i.e. not AI companies out of their funds) have to spend money and effort on, like when LLM crawlers push thousands in bandwidth costs

Aerial_Knight’s DropShot Makes Finger Guns Cool Again Despite Its Pitfalls Smoke Wallace and his Finger Gun carry a thrilling but uneven arcade-like experience.

Aerial_Knight's DropShot is a kick-ass game that, despite some momentum issues, makes you feel as badass as its protagonist Smoke Wallace when things come together. Finger guns are cool again (or at least for however long you play DropShot). My review:

I've mentioned it many times and it surprises a few new folks each time round:

Slay The Princess was a small side-project for Black Tabby. It has a total word-count equivalent to one chapter of Scarlet Hollow, which is ALSO huge on reactivity and branching.

Warm up with STP, then dive into this.

tl;dr: CBP fired a new weapon into domestic airspace that the FAA had previously warned posed grave risk to human life. It did so without warning to FAA and without restricting airspace. FAA restricted airspace in response. White House overruled them. The target turned out to be a party balloon.

Relooted challenges who gets to own and tell African history Relooted, a game about freeing African artifacts from Western museums and collections, interrogates history through sharply designed heists. Read our review.

Relooted is not only a neat puzzle game with grand heists and a charming cast, but also a challenge to who owns and tells African history. Plus, it's one of the few games to capture Africa's diversity well, pulling artifacts from all across the continent. My review:

We went there, and now we're back again! Today Shelved by Genre concludes our reading of THE HOBBIT, discussing a bit more Tolkien's literary scholarship as it inflects his aesthetic projects and why therefore Beowulf needed a little guy who followed him around. rangedtouch.com/2026/02/13/t...

Meta’s internal memo said the political tumult in the United States was good timing for the feature’s release. “We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns,” according to the document from Meta’s Reality Labs, which works on hardware including smart glasses.

this is comically evil. brazenly anti-social. just absolute black-pilled nihilism. we will not have a republic, we will not be free, until we regulate these companies to the point where — at a bare minimum — they're too afraid to put stuff like this down on paper.
