Twitter post from @rifflexielian: "Terfs need to shut up about womanhood, my mom was raised to believe all women were less valuable than men and cried when she learned about trans women because the idea that someone would fight that hard to be a woman was radical for her and meant it was something worth being

There's a transmasculine version of this. If someone assigned female can become a man, it means there's nothing so special or powerful about men.

Each of us has the biological truth of equality between the sexes within us, as demonstrated by the ability of some to pass from one to the other.

the green golf course is littered with tall stone pillars. the protagonist golfer is standing to the left of a golf ball. to the right is user interface showing an overhead map of the course, hole number, par and how many yards it is. to the left is more user interface showing your golfer's stance, how many strokes and how many yards to go.

Cause a post reminded me I should talk about this more, HI, I MADE A GAME!

It's sitting at 1 scored review more than a year later, so if you like isometric action RPGs, soulslikes with Deep Lore, and don't mind some first project jankiness (never using GameMaker for isometric again) try it out!

A pixel art illustration of a rock formation in a valley between glaciers. A strange orb seemed to be pulled out of the air by some cultists, it fires a beam out of frame, which seems to have disrupted a flock of birds

It's funny how one thing might just not work for a little while, and then you focus on something else and it goes great!

Yeaa, my high res art is at an odd place where I don't completely vibe with it. But pixel art, oddly feels like I never took a break on it.

image of a box that's entirely black with the logo of the MOTHER game in the middle and the words "jigsaw puzzle" and "1000 pieces"

image of said puzzle, which is a scene from earthbound/mother that features the in-game sprite of the character poo and a ghostly image floating above him as he meditates. these two figures are very small. the rest of the puzzle is made up of 1000 pieces that are pitch black.

yo this is an insane piece of merch to make. a puzzle for absolute psychos.

Hello, Caitlin here, Sandy’s wife.

It's with a very heavy heart that we share the news of YoYo Games founder and original CEO, Sandy Duncan's passing. GameMaker would not be where it is today without Sandy and our hearts are with his family at this very difficult time. Rest in peace.

I reposted this, and then saw some discourse in the replies, so here's my take: big games absolutely need managers and producers. In fact, as I've grown older, more of my time is spent on being a manager and producer. But I think the underlying sentiment here is: trust the people in the trenches.

stepping in as publicist, if you write something about nullsleep you gotta make 10% of it about me

Shout out to all the amazing Black game developers, media, and creatives across every part of making games. I’m rooting for y’all year-round.

Go follow Black folks making games. We’re often ignored, then imitated. Tag some Black devs below and follow the ones you don’t know yet.

The best feeling is when you start at the extreme and you realize you have so much more room to go even more extreme

Did I mention that Oracle took on $56 billion of debt to build data centers specifically for OpenAl? Or that the banks who invested in these deals don't seem to be able to sell off the debt? Let me put it really simply: - Larry Ellison's wealth is almost entirely tied up in Oracle stock. - Oracle's stock is tied to the company "Oracle," which is currently destroying its margins and annihilating its available cash to buy GPUs to serve a customer that cannot afford to pay it. - Oracle has taken on ruinous debt that can only be paid if this customer, that cannot afford it and needs to raise money from an already-depleted venture capital pool, actually pays it. Oracle's stock has already been punished for these debts, and that's before OpenAl fails to pay for its contract. - Oracle now owns part of one of its largest cloud customers - TikTok - that loses billions of dollars a year, and the US entity says, per Bloomberg, that it will "retrain, test and update the content recommendation algorithm on US user data," guaranteeing that they'll fuck up whatever makes it useful, reducing its efficacy for advertisers. Larry Ellison's entire financial future is based on whether OpenAl lives or dies. If it dies, there isn't another entity in the universe that can actually afford (or has interest in) the scale of the compute Oracle is building. We are setting up for a very funny and chaotic situation where Oracle simply runs out of money, and in the process blows up Larry Ellison's fortune. However much influence Ellison might have with the administration, Oracle has burdened itself with debt and $248 billion in data center lease obligations - costs that are inevitable, and are already crushing the life out of the company (and the stock). The only way out is if OpenAl becomes literally the most-successful cash-generating company of all time within the next two years, and that's being generous. This is not a joke. This is not an understatement. Sam Altman holds Larry Ellison's futur…

Currently working on one of my favorite pieces ever: The Hater’s Guide To Oracle. This company is so stupid and Larry Ellison has bet the farm on OpenAI having $300 billion to give it over five years. Larry Ellison is H.R. Geiger’s Jerry Stiller and he’s rigged his company to blow
