New York’s DSA @nycmayor @zohrankmamdani continues to erase barriers and center regular folks 👇🏽👏🏾 Again: They weren’t scared of him failing, they were scared of him succeeding.

There's a joke about folks with autism being *really* into trains. -- I mostly feel indifferent about trains IRL. -- But give me a game game with fantasy sky ships? ~Whoa!~😍

Whoa! Unity's #URP samples has the #Spiderman shader, built-in, out of the box. -- To be clear -- this is a Cube. -- It does not have any actual internals -- this is just the material that's applied to it -- fully configurable -- and that's cool as heck! #Unity3D #Gamedev #ScreenshotSaturday

At Midwest Gaming Classic, we had the chance to see a presentation of the upcoming Retro Game Forge, the NES (and more) game dev tool by @nesmaker.bsky.social… lots of wow moments! It’s coming soon. I can’t wait! 😍 #NES #homebrew #nesdev #NESmaker #indiegames #gamedev #ファミコン

Have a break. Have 12 Tonnes of KitKat. Remember, kids, Nestle is literally the company who literally told African mothers that their breast milk wasn't good enough in order to sell more formula. Don't be a snitch, now.

So many hotel shenanigans that we mostly missed the first day of @norwescon.org; but today will be better! Really excited about the Labyrinth Shadow Cast event! How about y'all, what events are you excited for this weekend? We have a few ribbons to share with fellow chaos gremlins, come find us!

It's crazy to me, that within ~24 hrs of the axios trojan being discovered, Claude Code's source is accidentally leaked, and axios is a major dependency, with a version range that matches the trojaned one. So yeahh... hopefully, no one at anthropic was setting up a new dev machine on March 30th...

This is back open; if you're part of a (massive) layoff in the game industry you can request a product of mine for free. It's not much, but it might help you in your journey ahead. 🫂 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Anyone remember Castle of the Winds for Windows 3.x? I feel like that was a really cool idea and it would be neat to see something like that again... But like adjusted for modern UX...

one thing you see people say a lot is "republicans don't want to vote for a diet republican" whenever a dem does shit to try to appeal to them, which is true. what often goes unsaid is the other part of that, which is that most democrats also do not *want* to vote for a diet republican either

For all folks headed to GDC next week: Have fun. Enjoy. Be safe, and keep your friends and colleagues safe too. It's all kinds of messed up out there. More so than other years, so you all take care of each other.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Today, I taught myself to drill square holes in sheet metal with a nibbing tool. I've now exposed the M.2230 port externally, which is currently loaded with a 2x SATA card. #DIY #10inchrack #NAS

Using my ugliest filament remnants to 3D print components for a 10" rack server (NAS/Drive Zoo). Looking to run something *like* SeaFile, but that actually stores the files raw and not in a weird container format... Any recommendations? #linux #homelab #NAS #10inchrack #minirack #rackpi #oss

So, today I learned that typical server racks are supposed to have racks on the front and the back. My 19" deep rack does not. I'm thinking of modifying it with some 2020 extrusion to add "rails" for my 75lb UPS... 🤷 #selfhosting #homelab #diy #homeserver #rackmount #CosplayingAsASysAdmin

Listening to someone talk, "we asked 30 people and got 30 different answers..." Really? That seems low. I feel like if I asked 30 people the same question, I'd get at least 40 different answers...

Wow, #HumbleBundle really went to shit. It's all Godot, and Vibe Coding. Not touching to Lesarts assets with a 10' pole, since their interface makes it take hours to just download what you paid for. Bleh. #GameDev

#Gamedev is going to be interesting, because we will have to not just continue accommodating older GPUs, but older hardware, and especially systems with less RAM, and smaller SSDs. Consumer computers are essentially going to become less affordable all around during the next part of the AI bubble.

Mailia@mailia.bsky.social

I thought I was overpaying when I got an RTX 4090 for 1700€, but in hindsight it feels like a decent deal actually. And with GPU prices taking off like rockets, game developers might need to keep accommodating older cards for way longer than before.

My balatro renderer gonna be more expensive than my car

[Newsis] Consumer GPUs to increase in price next year. RTX 5090 to increase from $2000 to $5000 www.resetera.com/threads/13...

Congrats, from Seattle!

Please let me have the energy this year to do more art and gamedev please I beg you there are too many things living rent free in my deranged head and I desperately need an outlet but whenever I tried last year I couldn't get anywhere because I was just... tired.
