This either means you get to write your own fortune, or the end of days is here. Maybe both!

Peaceful pink sunrise. I want to drink it in, but it passes by too quickly.

That's way too long. Any reasonable congress would have done it already.

Everyone should be livid. One completely needless mess after another. All for greed, pedophiles, bigotry, racism, and power.

Midterm elections sure seem far away. Just look at all the craziness that has happened already in the first 2 months of 2026. 8+ months away is a long long time!

What a f**ked up, needless, worse-case scenario timeline we're in because of that pedophile & the villains who protect him.

What's next?
- China invading Taiwan while US is distracted (goodbye chips!)
- Another pandemic (goodbye 7m+ people)
- Kessler Syndrome (goodbye satellites / space travel)

Save 80% on Rustler (Grand Theft Horse) on Steam Become a medieval thug in a crazy open-world action game, full of pop-culture references. Complete insane quests, kill heroes, steal horses, fight guards, rob peasants, listen to some bard music, and ...

Rustler (Grand Theft Horse) was such a blast to play after watching Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Twas free on Epic Game Store a few weeks ago, now on sale on Steam.

You work your way from horse rustler/thug to the jousting circuit in a hilarious plotline.

Ouch! I have so many projects and assets based on Unity's old built-in pipeline.

I hope they make something like Unity's old surface shader scripting for URP, and document URP shader coding stuff better. Shader graphs get way too tangled to revisit after some time away.

Thank you! It's definitely a tough experience to go through even just in VR. Mad respect for the real community observers who brave the dangers to stand up for their neighbors. ✊❀️

Animal characters are very fun!
I make animal characters because it's much easier to make than humans. And they help to lower defensiveness in players whose views are being challenged.

Here's the #VR experience I made for #GlobalGameJam! Trigger warning: political/intense + my way of processing the 😠stuff that has been happening recently.

Thanks! But please don't sell yourself short. I’ve been doing game jams for 12 years and 160+ jams. Everyone's at a different point in their jam journey. Keep at it, I really want to see what you end up making!

You can only really see through your smartphone screen as it records; everything outside the smartphone is masked, visible as only a faint outline.

I’ve been doomscrolling all week, and only started jamming on Friday night. This VR experience I'm making might be my way of processing.

WIP so far on my #GlobalGameJam. It's a #VR experience where masked govt thug pigs have come to your neighborhood, harassing your neighbors. All you have is a smartphone w/ 2% battery left. Capture whatever you can to challenge the "official" narrative (lies).

I finally starting jamming on my game for Global Game Jam after many hours of doomscrolling and trying to keep up with all that is happening.

Drew up some quick characters in OpenBrush. Masked pig thugs, and your neighbors.

Americans should review the D&D Alignment Chartβ€”it helps to understand what we're up against.

LAWFUL EVIL: Mike Johnson
NEUTRAL EVIL: Lindsay Graham
CHAOTIC EVIL: Donald Trump, Stephen Miller, Pete Hegseth, Kristi Noem, and the orc army that attacked Gondor

Now tell me how elections will fix this.

I woke up this morning, and then remembered the times we live in, wondered "what horrors has his regime brought today?" and checked the news with dread.

I know I'm not alone. How are you dealing with it? What are you doing about it?
