Just do a stint in jail and you'll be reading a book a day in no time

I don't remember seeing an image of Earth before that captures the (thin, fragile, tiny layer of) atmosphere so clearly. I mean, look at that.

right now the astronauts are calling houston because the computer on the spaceship is running two instances of microsoft outlook and they can't figure out why. nasa is about to remote into the computer

1X111 by @abagames.bsky.social one of the classic japanese game hobbiests, Kenta Cho recently tied together 111 of his single-button games into an old-school wario-ware you can play on your phone (he's been making tiny free games since the 80s) abagames.itch.io/1x111

did the responsible thing and closed the game to draw this instead of beating my head against a boss i’m too tired to fight for another half hour

So I made the smallest game I could. This is sapito, a tiny daily classic roguelike, with a new level every day. Super simple, but finished! My plan is to keep updating it over time. joaosdev.itch.io/sapito Pixel art by @datagoblin.bsky.social and the whole game is inspired by 1 of their mockups.

I feel like just studying changes between Hollow Knight and Silksong can make you a better game designer. The way a couple of small changes completely alter the gameplay flow and focus points is mesmerizing.

Compactors are the silliest machine yet deadliest. It probably won't catch you, but if it does — you are done in a very unflattering way, ironically

The Paper Apps™ LABYRINTH proc-gen code is almost done! Here's an example of one of the many exciting things that could happen to YOU if you get a copy! Kickstarter begins next week. Check it out: kickstarter.com/projects/brintown/paper-apps-labyrinth #procgen #kickstarter

Anthropic let Claude run a vending machine business at their HQ. People tricked it into buying a bunch of tungsten steel cubes that it sold at a loss. www.anthropic.com/research/pro...

If I ever have enough money I'd love to develop and try to sell (in very-very small quantities) a hardware device. I've always loved fiddling with software, but hardware feels like "they made software into a real thing"

Reacting to posts/messages with whatever emoji is perfect UI, no notes. People didn't know back then, but all those hundreds of emojis were created just for this, for tiny reactions under the message. And it should be everywhere. Why is there only a like on bluesky still?

Conspiracy theory: Apple's Liquid (gl)ass is this complex for many reasons and it's very intentional, but one of the reasons is how you basically can't reproduce it in CSS. If you want the native look, you can't use Electron and are basically forced to develop native apps.

I'm feeling a strong urge to write the very first proper blogpost in my life, and the theme is "my window management manifesto". Which tracks, I guess.

thought this was really beautiful

I am disappointed in the AI discourse steveklabnik.com/writing/i-am...

Sonic is reportedly fast.

every now and then you come across a paragraph of wikipedia that is so wikipedia-coded that it's almost unimaginable amount of wikipedia "the other would assay a rebuttal" "this taxonomic dilemma [...] would achieve synthesis" this whole certs breath mints page needs a wedgie imho

Love this update. Makes me wonder why it wasn't like this in the first place. Hopefully other Google app icons will follow.

i think a cool thing is when you’re walking past a boring parking lot and something like this spawned in

✨ ANNOUNCEMENT TIME ✨ Thanks to the success of picoCAD I am now making picoCAD 2! 🎨 live texture editing 🎛️ organisation tools 📤 lots of export options ♾️ and a lot more! Go wishlist now: s.team/a/3675940 ❤️ #gamedev #pixelart #lowpoly

This might be one of the coolest things I've ever coded. I think I need more angles for the ship. But it's basically done. (Music from #DuckTales is placeholder. I just love that theme.) #playdate #gamedev #pixelart

✨ New Video! ✨ Maybe I’m losing it but Nubby’s Number Factory and the hit detective drama Columbo weirdly have a lot in common. Watch here: youtu.be/VEKylRgUH5k 😘

I started learning Python awhile back then kind of stopped, but I just ordered what's essentially an open source bluetooth iPod and now I'm browsing Crowd Supply and not gonna lie... kinda makes me want to start becoming one of those open source 3d printer software python raspberry pi guys

Happy Neil day to all who celebrate

People love to laugh these things off as gimmicks but if you take the time to understand, its not that crazy at all. Games aren't magic, they're technology. And nothing in games "just works", it all has to be meticulously built to maintain the illusion. RT helps. www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6Eu...

This is much more fun than it should be
