Name a tv show Halloween special.

Bluesky has four kinds of users.

"So...this is goodbye." - Pavel Checkov, Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country RIP, Walter Koenig.

Celebrity Traitors is so much fun.

Damn. Looking Glass got the shutdown too? The studio that made Thief. That made System Shock. That‘s… man, the games industry is depressing these days

Seconded. I think about it… often, actually

A researcher mapped 335,000+ surveillance cameras across America. Flock's response? Try to take it down. Our response? Build a tool so you can find those near your home: https://proton.me/flock-camera-map

Cool project today. Performed techromancy and brought my beloved Surface Duo back to life. Okay, it wasn't dead, it was sleeping but Microsoft dropped support in 2022. Community devs have picked up the slack with Duo DE, an Android 16 implementation for it. Oh, how I missed this thing.

Okay, this is actually dope

I feel like Bacchus would accept this tribute tho???

qtp with a video game that transports you back to your childhood

We shall sit around the fire and tell tales of BioWare's glory

Xbox studio closures made me angry. I'm too stunned to feel anything but stunned at the moment. Holy shit. I know BioWare's been hit or miss lately but still. The studio behind Baldur's Gate. Behind friggin' Knights of the Republic. Memorial Neverwinter Nights run coming soon to a PC near me.

Name your fav 80s film

Setting aside how Titanic could do a 180 degree turn in 3 minutes: Paxton‘s last campaign appearance is at the Alamo. Trump booked a rally in Waco, where the Branch Davidian cultists died in a fire standing off with feds. And now JD Vance likened present USA to Titanic. Symbolism off the charts.

Ah yes. The Trump administration: Where you pay it all and they give you nothing. Those of us in tornado alley and coastal states are gonna have a great time with this...

It is amazing to me that Republicans scream about “no good immigrants coming here to destroy us from the inside and destroy the American way of life while also mooching off us hard working folks!” and yet they can’t see the actual no good immigrant doing literally all of that for real this time.

Today in “Xbox has completely lost the plot”…

Gotta tell ya, the symbolism of both events is hilarious to me. Cult 47 rallying in Branch Davidian country. Incredible

Counterpoint to dumb-dumb journos: Cutting off your toxic parent is actually the answer and it fucking rules

It's a new week, Bluesky. Trust no poll. Trust no pundit. Vote early if you can. Vote in person if you can.

My grandpa was a pot farmer and made his owm moonshine too. Man, Oregon was wild in the 1960s. Anyway, my dad has a story about my grandpa burning his eyebrows off with a particularly volatile spoon test. I’m sure moonshine returning will be totally fine

Oh man, that’s sad. Richard Riehle was a prolific character actor, it’s take all day to recount how many things I love included him in the cast. His appearance was always a delight. Particularly as Picard’s alternate life’s BFF, Batai, in “The Inner Light.”

Saw this on outside the polling location today. I’m choosing to interpret it as a sign of hope

Smash the fash

I didn’t have an SNES growing up. So I couldn’t have Mario Kart. I had Mario Kart at home. This was the Mario Kart at home (it was actually great and I still love it)

And people wonder why I wanna just give up and log off forever. Oh, how I would if I could

“First single you bought with your own money. No lying!" SIGH... I grew up in an evangelical cult of a family so it was DC Talk's Nu Thang on cassette. Ugh

LMAO. She lasted 0.45 Scaramuccis. Pathetic. Here are your red nose and shoes, toodles 🤡

Apparently the hot new rationalization in pissy right-wing creator circles as to why they're not as financially or culturally successful as they ought to be is that their IQs are all 30 points too high for the normies to understand their creations, and, oh, honey, I assure you, that's so not it

Why call it "Chromatchik"? It's a portmanteau of "Chroma" meaning color, "Match", and... well, "Magic". There is no "magic" system in the game, it's not a fantasy. There is a sense of wonder in "the zone" of puzzle games. Getting lost in the trance of it all. That's the magic; the colorful magic.

My Uber is here.

When that will take hours:

A peek into what's cooking. Decided to stop being a chaos goblin and use Notion to properly plan,execute, and document my design of my next game. Chromatchik is a block pushing/matching puzzler in Love2d. Inspired by classic puzzlers. Pre-production ended yesterday, production is officially begun.

My city's subreddit posted a pic of a Nazi fuck driving his Nazi truck casually down the highway here with literal swastika bumper stickers, Nazi slogans, death threats, and antisemitic messages on it. Like guy is just driving this shit in broad daylight around hundreds of cars. I hate everything.

Being John Malkovich For Tax Purposes

He *is* helping to pay for it himself... by insisting their bribery go to the ballroom instead of his pocket directly as usual. Fucking snakes all the way down.

Buckle up for this fever dream: MrBeast went on Shark Tank and invested in an AI powered toy called Ball 2. Not only is this just a ball with AI shoved in it for basically no reason other than to justify $65 prices, but the battery is non-chargeable and non-replaceable.

Smart fridges hacked. AI distributed inferences across toasters and TVs. Data collection, privacy violation. Will Adama was right. Networking is a mistake. A vulnerability that we all just casually let into our homes and lives. I only have 2 smart TVs and I'm going to sever their internet access.

POV: You just explained what a smart fridge is to Adama

No, actually, they cannot do this.

Truly. And that's exactly why my current game project is intentionally *colorful* as *fuuuuuuuuck*. In fact, my games are gonna be all color and whimsy from here on out for the foreseeable future

I already don’t buy anything on Epic Games. I have found their business practices abhorrent. But now they’re vibe coding the new version of their launcher and if I could boycott them any more than I already do, I would

Finally fixed the touch controls issue on iPhone. Well, that was an experience. Next up, gotta build the mechanics I did not port over from my old Pico-8 game.
