I’m happy to announce the release of a new open source 3D physics engine called Box3D. I’ve been working on this project for a few years now, but it represents over 20 years of experience writing physics engines for games. Read more here: box2d.org/posts/2026/0...

Yuuuup! I was diagnosed when I was 42 and it literally changed my life. Like Nome, my depression went away. My diagnosis armed me with the knowledge of what was happening and along with a good therapist I was able to recognize and break the cycle of ADHD burnout. I am truly happy now.

Neurodivergent people and others can now get a special blue envelope meant to hold important papers, such as vehicle registration and insurance information. The goal is to make interactions with law enforcement safer and more productive. Learn more: licensingexpress.wordpress.com/2026/06/11/b...

*stomp stomp clap* *stomp stomp clap* Where, are, where are my glasses? Buddy I'm annoyed Make a big noise Wanderin' round my house Swear I'm gonna go mad today They're not on my face They've been misplaced They're not even in their usual place WHERE ARE, WHERE ARE MY GLASSES? *stomp stomp clap*

We've been working on replacing the Asset Library with something built for the present and future. Here's what's coming. #godotengine godotengine.org/article/intr...

Today is GAAD - Global Accessibility Awareness Day! ♿ If you're still new to games accessibility, or haven't thought about it much beyond subtitles, here are a few of my favourite resources for starting out. Talks, games, media and communities. Accessibili-buddies, feel free to add your faves too!

Today is Global Accessibility Awareness Day! There's a lot of nice game accessibility content, events and announcements today, so much that it's easy to miss things. So here's a handy cheat-sheet, I'll be keeping it updated throughout the day - ian-hamilton.com/games-indust... #gaad #gamedev

Got a first version of waterfalls working! Really fun to see the water react and new little ponds and waterfalls form as you edit the terrain. Next I’ll look at some better shading, VFX and solving lots and lots and lots of edge cases. #indiegamedev #gamedev #indiegame

This is my WebOS LG TV in so-called "Standby Mode." I've just installed Adguard on my Synology NAS and this traffic is rapidly nuking all my other machines' logs from orbit. WTAF.

So many personal websites are so overwhelmed by AI crawlers that they've had to implement mitigations specifically for that problem, often at significant cost. In return, they now receive fewer actual human visitors. What a shitty thing to do 🤬

Starbucks said in a state-required notification that the cuts were the result of a reorganization in the technology department at the Starbucks Support Center in Seattle.

The American Heart Association just posted this and tbh, I LOLed.

A sneak peak into the development of indie games:

US GAME WORKERS: Let’s talk healthcare. UVW is exploring union-sponsored solutions and we need your input. Workers based in the US are invited to complete this survey — union and non-union welcome! Take the survey: uvw-cwa.org/healthcare-t...

"We have fixed the vulnerability by deleting the code. You're welcome"

Incredible job Intel. No notes. Best anyone's ever done it.

It’s #Wolfenstein3D’s 34th anniversary! Here Romero, Jay, and I accept the Shareware Industry Award for it. Fun memories! #wolfenstein #id #idsoftware

Just occurred to me, using very basic biological metaphor, we have with LLMs created a virus that attacks information validity. All of our structures for making and confirming factual information are under attack from LLM created information that mimics healthy information enough to get established

Hard to read major publications when the only article genres are like: - "Is this criminal thing that harms the world bad? We asked the guy doing it" - "Bigotry is warranted if I'm upset about life" - "Stop being poor so loud" and - "What Does It Mean: Debating horrible thing he said very clearly"

Imagine haphazardly changing the default behaviour on a piece of software with tens of millions of monthly users, catching unintended side effects, and then "underestimating its impact". Wtf happened to software development? Nothing makes sense anymore.

If you believe this was just a "mistake": The PR that did all this changed "off" to "all" on TWO LINES, and was merged without testing/feedback in 4 hours. The "fix" was also 2 lines, after more than a week of backlash. There's quite literally no room to interpret this as a mistake.

Not that anyone needs yet another reason to steer clear of Microsoft, but VSCode now adds Copilot as a co-author of all your commits, regardless if you used Copilot. This was added silently as a default. This is some next level insanity.

Microsoft losing the plot to the extent that games running on Linux through a compatibility layer are now not only faster but *assumed to be faster* than games running natively on Windows should be an even bigger story than it already is

Today's spreadsheet crime: One of my #gamedesign students was using Excel to estimate how good different starting locations are on a Catan board, and showed me a cool trick for plotting hex tiles in a chart, so I just had to try making my own version. 🤓

No, not a river; it’s actually my road. Friend took this shot a lil down from me The rain isn’t stopping; 3am was the heaviest rain I’ve ever experienced in welly. if you’re in the area — i have heating, spare towels, dryers, bottled water, food, sandbags and tarps if you’re up shit creek!

Palantir are about six months away from ordering their employees to leave audio logs scattered around their offices

I was once catching up with a few people whose careers I respect to get some thoughts about what to do next and one of them said "You know, your next thing doesn't have to be bigger than your last thing." And it remains one of the most creatively freeing things I've ever heard.

I love writing code at 5 am

Great, now I will need to unlearn muscle memory I developed to work around limitations of moving nodes in the tree 🙃 But in all seriousness, UX of Godot is already on a good level and becomes even better with every release.

It is “America Day” at my daughter’s school, so she hand made her own shirt. #nokings #realpatriotism

Hey you. Yeah, you. Lookin' for another reason to stop using LinkedIn? 'Cause I got the good stuff over here. browsergate.eu

This is so, so well-articulated.

oh all of a sudden it's bad when people appropriate your work without asking, huh?
