A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

helenwebberley.comAre transgender sports bans really about protecting women? | Dr Helen WebberleyThe data says no. Those most hostile to women are most in favour of banning trans athletes.

Bad day to launch my PHP based certificate authority

Listening to this banger while I'm frantically updating 15 years of #PHP applications I've developed.... (I hope someone gets the reference) youtu.be/T6hOlik58gg

Starting to dig some aspects of my project more and more. Still A LOT of work to do to nail the style, but every update makes the project more "mine" and more unique! Wishlist #CourseCraze to help me out: store.steampowered.com/app/1973210/... #madewithgodot #godotengine #godot #indiedev #gamedev

One step closer to "One indie dev and his 980 friends"

Star Wars: Galactic Racer was made by a core team of 75 people. "What we wanted to do was keep that core small, smaller than perhaps you might have done in the past, and scale capacity and capability with what we call distributed development." https://bit.ly/4hT02qg

I've been catching up with #QuantumBreak during my sickness these past days. What a wonderful experience, after playing #CONTROL a few years ago & #CONTROLResonant a few weeks ago, it's another confirmation that @remedygames.com is among the top game developers out there! So inspiringly creative!

I have no idea how on earth Ubisoft Nadeo can wiggle themselves through seemingly every one of those shutters and layoffs... #Trackmania

verticalslice.newsUnity opting Asset Store creators into new generative AI platform by default"I'm firmly against AI and I won't use Unity Spark ever, so I am not okay with them using my assets for this."

Prompt it! Perfect it! Publish it! Plagiarize it! Poach it! Proletarianize it! Poison it! Phish it! #Unity #UnitySpark

Vertical Slice@verticalslice.news

NEW: Unity is automatically opting Asset Store creators into supporting its generative AI platform, Unity Spark, via a process called 'itemisation.' One dev told Vertical Slice the process should be "opt-in instead of opt-out" and said they are firmly against genAI.

If I'm going to see this godawful "Here's how to replace Adobe software" share pic again with these vibecoded trash alternatives I'm going crazy.

I have been in corporate purgatory for about an hour. It was supposed to be a meeting where we showcase their new quoting template features, and now they are discussing how their sales team changes prices and how annoying this is. Also, why am I the quoting dev now? I hate this whole topic...

1,5h later, they noticed they don't have an overview and decided to create a work cabal with internal sales and legal...

Another unfortunate addition to my "Icon Shame" group #NintendoSwitch #MinecraftDungeons2

I've checked their account... It gets so much funnier... "do the cardinals run an AI lab"

How are they going to recover from this?

Not to speak too badly on #Godot #GodotEngine, but it's quite sad that the CoC team has left me on read for... 15 months now...

#ControlResonant is really good, when it doesn't try to be an open world game... And GOD do I love the character AND actor of Dr. Darling

The video has been privated :( But I found a lower quality copy and uploaded it to archive.org: archive.org/details/gen-...

Gen Hoshino has performed his song "Create" which has SO MANY #Nintendo references for new years at Nintendo's Museum. It even includes a small cameo of THE Koji Kondo! www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlsh...

laura.mediaBuilding a search engine for Trackmania's lost web ~ Laura Sofia × Developer & DesignerTrackmania United Forever had an in-game internet, and most of it is gone. Here's how I built a search engine for what's left of it.

21 Sept

I finally came out of my "summer sleep" and released some new cool things! Today I've released a blogpost about how I created "ManiaFind", a modern #Trackmania United ManiaLink search engine. laura.media/blog/buildin...

20 Sept

Today was the first time I played AoE 2 with cheats and I somehow managed to put myself in the team that was used for all the neutral animals. My 100 spawned cars therefore were owned by me but also "enemies".

19 Sept

After some more styling... (Also notice the logo, feels like it fits haha) As said again, the theming system is fully customizable, and I'll probably also include a "classic theme" that is more.. tables and FamFamFam icons

I am having WAYY more fun with this that I should! Auth system & initial display of threads and topics are now in!!

19 Sept

I've recently developed a Source Engine VPK explorer that runs on GTK / libadwaita as a little UI study. I genuinely think GTK4 + Adwaita is the cleanest and most consistent interface language out there. I used to think Material UI was that but then they laid off most of the designers working on it

Hot new leak from the internal @p2ce.bsky.social team discord!

I am having WAYY more fun with this that I should! Auth system & initial display of threads and topics are now in!!

Let's see if it will lead somewhere, for my first session, I've already built some really important lower level systems, like the "config" reader, database connection and a theming system based on twig!

Please ignore that the test thread is basically me talking to myself while also scolding myself...

Growing up means that you learn to understand that superkai64's question at Minecon 2015 was actually very sane, they were just hard to understand. Because of course you would want to ask how much dedicated RAM you'd need for a Minecraft server. That's a good question.

16 Sept

Fact check: superkai actually asked the question in 2013, not 2015.

I kinda wanna build an "old school forums software"...

trying to do some level design. I think at least one speed focused stage would be good for the demo.

14 Sept

Why did @halfbrickstudios.bsky.social never put Jetpack Joyride as a 20€ premium-ish game on the Nintendo Switch? I don't even think it would affect the mobile game's monetization, considering they are two different targer groups.. If PvZ can do it, they can too, without AI and much much better...

The more I think about it, the more I really dig #MetroidRavenous. Samus is so angry, she is so unhinged, I love this vibe.

I'm being serious, I sometimes boot it up and show @tarasophie.dev random corners of maps where a model is cut off that probably no human has ever seen...
