My cast iron teapot is always shedding ferritic nanoparticles and I'm worried how it's going to hold up over relativistic timescales

PSA: If you live in the United States, there are going to be a ridiculous number of lost dogs and other pets tonight and tomorrow due to all the noise. Keep an eye out.

OK, bring me a knife that can cut off its own handle.

I wrote a SIMULATIONIST'S MANIFESTO for #manifestojam2026 ptychomancer.itch.io/simulationis...

No, no, you see, this is kitchen ink.

This month instead of passing we're mentioned in passing.

The Call for Proposals for Roguelike Celebration 2026 is OPEN! We're looking for speakers to deliver cool talks about procedural content, roguelike game design, generative art, and more! Roguelike Celebration is a virtual conference, no physical attendance required. Check it out and tell a friend!

As kid my way to school was always blocked by checkpoints From that day i know my life gonna be different But i didnt imagine my game will be blocked or my posts would be flagged as a spam just because I'm Palestinian Please consider supporting this gorgeous game about Palestine launchgood.com/1948

You may have come a long way but never forget your childhood friends from the blood islands.

If ya'll could boost my game I'd very much appreciate it! Trying to get to 50 reviews for the Steam algorithm. I already have glowing reviews from the likes of Raigan Burns (N++) and Daniel Linssen (Leap Year) and just need a handful more. Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3641010/...

Happy 20 years of Neil banging out the tunes 🐀🎶🎉

I had the pleasure of playtesting Scrubbin Trubble's co-op with a friend. The way they've done cooperative turn-based action is *fascinating*: players move independently until they're in combat range with the same enemies. Then the game switches to an immaculately-telegraphed lockstep combat mode.

Humans love the scent of rain (petrichor) because we have evolved to. Our noses are 200,000x more sensitive to the smell of raindrops touching the soil than sharks are to blood in the water... 🌧 🎨 Carlos Bracho

Magic can be counterintuitive. Summoning a white rabbit is trivial, the "hello world" of thaumaturgy. Summoning a black rabbit is unsolved

friend, this is Marcus Junius Brutus CAESAR has declared himself DICTATOR FOR LIFE and MUST BE STOPPED can you rush a donation of ten denarii today to show that you STAND WITH THE REPUBLIC?

@crayondev.ie I propose a conference for psychedelic trash animal game development.

@bjarkeal.bsky.social earlier this year I encountered the choir ferry. bsky.app/profile/art....

Starting to hear about folks coming down with COVID at #GDC. Remember, folks: it's not over and it can erase your brain for a year.

🌲 It’s going to be sunny on Saturday, so join us for a walk along the beach and through the woods with #GDCFeet ! We’ll be hanging out with @art.imitates.life and @lenagrrarrow.com for a radically inclusive experiment in game design and community! All welcome! 💖 No liability assumed or implied by us

Twelve months since the fire. I'm doing better. medium.com/@EvanBalster...

This is why I'm still annoyed people ain't on Mastodon Y'all gotta figure this shit out, I know it's thorny but the era of frictionless expansive internet is donezo, you gotta get back in a scrappy 90s mindset bsky is great, that's very FOR NOW(tm), dip your toes in other waters while it's easier

The biggest thing conspiracy theories get wrong is that they see a long line of cause and effect and think it's so perfect it had to be planned => we have to stop the planners When actually most of the steps are OPPORTUNISM towards negative goals, and the issue is the systems that enable the steps

I'll be making tea at this little picnic.

I heard stories of people who've fed crows, and been given gifts in return. It sounded charming, so I began doing that. Then, one night, there was a rapping on my bedroom window. I stumbled up and opened. A crow flew in and spoke: "They're coming for you. You must flee." I only just made it out.

An enormous loss. Looking back in portraits, interviews (EN, FR), remembrances (including the essential writing of Louise Gray):

come to my GDC talk this year schedule.gdconf.com/session/co-o...

I went back and looked at TIGSource today. Why did we ever leave? It's still there, and will continue to be there until its reclusive Truck Number guy dies in a mountain unicycling accident.
