I've been playing fire emblem #fefw

As a follow-up to my initial code actions PR, I'm working on an additional PR that lets you instantly create a function stub for a signal connection! (The children cheering sound effect also plays automatically whenever you run a code action now. Sorry it's not optional) #gamedev #indiedev #godot

Love how this combination of headline and photograph implies they caught Sam Altman spying on OpenAI

Ominously vague

33 years ago today, the Stranger stepped onto the dock of Myst Island for the first time. We can still hear the water splashing against the pilings.

Tialla: "...War is deception, huh... 😔" me: "Girl you just melted a man's face off" #fireemblem

That’s a bit ominous

happens every time 😔 #godot #gamedev

Escape from Ever After is the Paper Mario game that Nintendo would have made if they weren't a bunch of COWARDS

Just Turn The Computer Off. Like Pull The Power Cord Out Of The Wall LMAO

oh you use Claude? well I have a "claude" of braincells in my head that I use to do my thinkin'

there's a pretty simple connection here 1. humans become good at what they practice doing 2. outsourcing to an AI or even other people, means you have stopped doing the thing 3. if you stop doing the thing, you will stop improving, and, long term, get worse at it (cont.)

Why is 🙂 "slightly smiling face" and 😄 is "smile"? It feels like 🙂 should be "smile" and 😄 should be like "very smiling face". In this paper, we contribute the following to the literature:

this has been in my head for days

"GitHub Actions"? Uh, no, I don't think it does

apparently I just got all of my notifications again, neato

Today was the day Zohran mamdani finally became mayor

amazing article

July 22 1694: perhaps the limit of the divided derivatives will give me the limit of of the indeterminate form. July 1694: l'hôpital

Thank you YouTube recommendations, very cool!

I, for one, welcome the ketchup slices. Not because I *want* to use sliced ketchup, but because we really need more silly things like this to feel passionate about instead of how everywhere is on fire and everything is terrible and everyone is going to die

Nintendo shower thought: New Super Mario Bros. U is more of a Super Mario Odyssey than Super Mario Odyssey is

I started trying to compile the full transcripts of The Good Place for a Bluesky bot, but the source I got them from was (badly) TikTok-censored. "Cocktail" and "cockroach" are both words that show up frequently in the show, but the censoring method did not work well for them... 😭💀

happy There Will Come Soft Rains day (reformed) to all who celebrate

Someone should make a video game about this. You could, uh, collect... strawberries, or something. I dunno

50 merged PRs to #godotengine. I guess you could say I’m… committed 😎 #godot #gamedev

"But as a solo dev--" You must learn the power of your own limitations. If your art is crap, either get better at art, figure out a way to make its crappiness look intentional, or ask for help.

I'm really loving Typst but am afraid that as soon as I get back into doing collaborative work for grad school stuff I'm gonna be forced back into LaTeX/Overleaf 😭

how GitHub's fifth "[godotengine/godot] PR run failed: 🔗 GHA - ..." email in a row finds me

cool to be running a @discord.com server with 10,000 people that someone brigades in order to mass report, getting the the accounts of mods and the only admin (me) disabled for a joke I made 6 years ago noticed I couldn't send DMs to my clients anymore for my current freelance work so, cool, thanks

The sequel

Blue Prince (2025)

@discord.com Discord moderators should be able to timeout a user and replace their server view with a video of puppies playing with soft music in the background until the timeout expires www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyY9...

I need a cartoonishly large button that, when pressed, types the “😅” emoji on my computer

So close, Tim!! That is two letters 💕

I see some concerns raised about Godot's policy on contributions using AI. TL;DR: Godot isn't vibe-coded. As a whole, the Godot foundation and maintainers are fairly critical of AI usage, and don't make nor accept vibe-coded contributions. Godot doesn't include AI features nor intends to add any.

we squigglin' 😎 #gamedev #indiedev #godot

#GodotEngine 4.7 is here! 🎉 Like a cult classic movie, Godot 4 has only gotten better with age; the 4.7 Director's Cut offers colors of never-before-reached intensity, helming a bevy of new features to eliminate any remaining friction between you and your vision! godotengine.org/releases/4.7/

he just wanted his cheeeeeese 😭

That was a wild Nintendo Direct

so I've been looking at my finances, and all my income sources have plummeted I'm gonna have to shift my focus away from #half-edge and giving talks, because unfortunately they're huge money sinks I can't afford if you can, I'd appreciate your support, especially now ❤️ www.patreon.com/c/acegikmo

What I'm taking from this is how vague and meaningless these genAI disclosures are allowed to be. You really have no idea what they used it for. Could be textures, could be concept art, could be they just used a transcription tool for meetings. The vagueness sucks.
