Cloudflare's down. Look at Capybaras.

I may create things that aren’t the most polished, or are unfinished, possibly even just absolute garbage…

…but they’ll be MY absolute garbage, from my imperfect human brain and imagination, not from some slop machine built from an amalgamation of other people’s work.

This is insanely bad for anyone doing game development. Who the hell knows what Gaming Copilot is doing with your screen captures, but it almost certainly isn't compliant with your NDA.

Congratulations, Masae and Brett! 🎉

Happy Caturday from Revan! 🦁

adding a photo? read this first. we know you love your cat. so do we, but that doesn't mean a photo of your cat is a good choice for the article

huge notice that pops up if you try to edit the cat article

Thinking of experimenting with running my own tiny Mastodon / ActivityPub instance…

I miss when the Internet was a web of little personal sites, forums, and communities instead of everyone being on a few big sites, waiting for the heads of the new big site to screw everything up again.

Today, the President held a press conference with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and other members of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) leadership. During the press conference, speakers shared harmful, false information about autism, acetaminophen, and vaccines. An HHS that does not provide accurate information to the President and make safe, science-informed decisions puts us all at grave risk. ASAN will release a full statement about this in the coming days. Today and always: autistic people belong.

Gonna go even further: don't refer to it as "consuming media" when doing this. You aren't a consumer - it's not a product. You read books. You look at art. You watch movies and/or videos. Be careful about word choice.

Reject "consume" and REJECT "CONTENT."
IT IS ART.
YOU ARE ENGAGING WITH ART.

Yet another good reason to not use the plagiarism machine for game dev, including at the concept/placeholder stages:

Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.

All I’m going to say about recent happenings is that the people in charge of my government continue to work overtime to convince me that I am a horrible person and the reason for everything bad that is happening. Feels real welcoming

I’m not sure… but now I actually want to possibly include something like that in a game at some point!

Maybe not as a complete stop to some action if you’re looking at it, but making it run faster if you aren’t. Creating a viable speedrun strategy out of just always looking at the ground…

Godot has become a viable game engine

Blender has become a viable 3D modelling AND animation tool

SteamDeck is now a fantastic "mobile" Desktop platform

AAA is shrinking / abandoning territory, ceding more genres to indie

Basically, (funding sitch aside) indie gamedev is seriously looking up!

I really like these new animated versions of the shorts!

A cone-shaped pizza crust filled with pepperoni and cheese, with a rainbow pride flag sticking out of the top.

New favorite festival/fair food: pizza, in cone form.

BI REMINDER 💜Bisexual women are still bi even if they're dating men 🩷Bisexual men exist, and they're not "just gay" 💙Ace/Aro bisexuals, & Nonbinary bisexuals exist 💜Sexual orientation is about attraction, not action 🩷Bisexuals dont need to have dated all the genders/gender identities they re attracted to - to know they're attracted to them @CapriCampeau

September is Bi Visibility Month, so perceiving me may be easier, as all bisexuals have disadvantage on stealth rolls until Halloween 1st.

100%.

At least once you make the phone call, it’s over and done with. Leaving a voicemail? Now you have an incoming phone call of impending doom, and you don’t know when it’s actually going to happen…

I don't get how people don't realize that a technology that replaces junior and entry level positions in a field destroys that field.

There's no skipping steps. You have to be a junior before you can be a senior, and if you don't have senior people, you don't have a field.

That reminds me, I never did actually finish Violet…

a post from itch saying “I don't see any indexing restrictions on your game. Your game does have a content warning because of this setting on your page though (check the "Metadata" tab). It's possible at some point you could have added a tag to your page that is commonly associated with explicit adult content.”

a post from itch pointing out that an article is full of misinformation and trying to clarify.

itch.io has been nothing but supportive of LGBTQ+ work since the beginning. it pains me to see the community turn on them like this and so gleefully spread misinformation about them without even giving them a shred of benefit of the doubt.
journalists too...

Well, that's not great... 😬

Weird… I haven’t gotten it to happen on any other search yet, but if I repeat yours verbatim, then I get the same non-LOC results.

Installing now! Congratulations on the release! 💙

"OooooOOOoooo, looks like you'll have to make a whole GAME about me, stardust~! 96 whole hours thinking about your bestie, aren't you excited????"

I don’t think I’ve seen what happens when you fire a blue shell in first… That is unfortunate!

"I asked chatgpt" "I asked grok" well I asked Achenar from the best-selling point&click adventure game Myst and he told me to bring him the blue pages and NOT to touch the red ones
