This is an image of Owen from a follow-up game I've been working on for over 10 years... I want to finish the game this year, but there always seems to be something that gets in my way. Mostly illness and death.

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

Not a great economy alert! Wall Street Bets users think Palantir spiked today because The Onion story titled “Palantir Acquires Pentagon for $800 Billion” hit their front page. They’re guessing trading bots indexed the top post on the subreddit reddit not understanding source.

Hassett: "If the war were to be extended, it wouldn't really disrupt the US economy very much at all. It would hurt consumers, and we'd have to think about what we'd have to do about that, but that's really the last of our concerns right now."

When a US missile killed 160 children, president shits-a-lot claimed Iran stole the missile and fired at the school. When asked why he was the only one making this claim, he said "because I just don't know enough about it". Go ahead. See if you can make this make sense. (Source: RB Hubbell)

We finally finished the last text mode we wanted to do! It loads a few of the extended ASCII characters into the VDP to be able to draw most EFIGS language words! (´・ᴗ・ ` ) #megadrive #mdengine #homebrew #indiedev #gamedev #sgdk #pixelart

In the 2010s, the Icelandic tv station Channel 2 accidentally added subtitles from a gritty crime drama to an episode of Teletubbies. I have translated some of the highlights

Monopolies, even 'good' ones as Steam often is referred to, leave a marketplace that stifles potential because it becomes the ultimate arbiter, minimizing the ability to expand the artistic potential of a medium It's hard to name a solution like 'other storefronts' either, because many won't move

I once saw an adult game get nuked because the main character's boobs were too small, causing an anonymous Valve employee to flag the game for having characters that are "too childlike" Is that the real reason?? That's the fun of manual reviews by people with unknowable beefs with your art form 😃

"i would have simply made a work that didn't trigger the invisible hand of an anonymous valve employee with a highly specific unknowable beef" "and if i did, i would throw away that project and start anew, confident somehow that this new project would not suffer the same fate"

Ok so I'm finally using a derma roller regularly, I've had hard lines on my forehead since Sophomore year High School, so for over 20 years. Figured it can't hurt. OH BOY. Yes I disinfect before every use 70% alcohol, air dry 5 min. Follow-up with Hyaluronic Acid and facial sun screen.

What I want to know is, is it suppose to hurt? I mean afterwards it feels like my skin face is tightening? Which I guess it's suppose to do, but there's also a very definitive burning sensation that I don't get when I just use those serums by themselves. It's very unpleasant.

Now what is different is that I'm doing each section of my face for a full minute of roll, lift, roll, lift. Previously I would just do 2 or 3 passes, that never caused this sensation. But after watching videos it seems 1 minute of rolling is standard so I've done that but OW.

Which stage of "covid is over" is "covid wastewater levels have just been nationally upgraded to high"

Jesspooka Kant 🎃@jessdkant.bsky.social

Just FYI: while CDC is no longer tracking much of anything, wastewater data is still being reported. COVID-19 levels have just been nationally upgraded to “high”

Bought a new motherboard to install a 2nd graphics card, transplanted everything into a new case, only to discover that the PCI slots are too close together to fit both cards. So I have to buy a Riser card now. Other than that, it all seems to be up and working. Riser card will arrive tomorrow.

Welp, got a right wing media group trying to dox me (they went as far as to contact an ex-employer of mine), so I hibernated everything. Not that I said anything I believe is fire-able. It's more the fact I'm a peon at a corp and it's easier to replace me than fight for me in an at will state.

Also pretty funny, they emailed my own side hustle company that I own to "report my online activity"... I haven't responded, but... LOL. Not sure what to do with that... Probably ignore it as I don't want more emails flooding my inbox.

Trump doesn't care if the economy crashes and communities suffer. His goal is to force you and your family to accept a lower standard of living while he and his friends get richer. Cutting support for law enforcement, schools, small businesses and firefighters is chaos by design.

The New York Times@nytimes.com

President Trump’s order freezing trillions of dollars in federal grants and loans sent officials at schools, hospitals, nonprofit organizations and many others into a frantic scramble to understand the extent of the directive. Here's what to know.
