finally, the Ouya's time is here

I’ve been quiet here for a while, I am not sure if the app got more popular or not but I wanted to come back and try again. And also sharing some close ups from recent artworks. 🌸🌿✨

seem to have arranged my life in such a way that it will be necessary for me to take a dozen wooden spoons to my driving test

I'm currently experimenting with CSS and SVG filter effects. This one is based on the "Grainy Gradients" tutorial: css-tricks.com/grainy-gradi... The goal is to get a print-dithering like effect. I also added a few more color splots to make it even more organic. #generative #generativeart #css

maybe it's a good thing that more people are making videogames than ever before in history

Belltower House is currently accepting applications through October 30th for the spring at belltowerhouse.org

Late last year I interviewed a host of folks from one of my greatest loves… ‘The DIY Arcade scene’ for Issue 5 of @apwot.bsky.social This week the weighty and lovingly designed issue dropped through the letterbox…

Just to try and pre-emptively stem the tide, a lot of people here are going to be posting the $66bn "loss" which is almost entirely about convertible notes and not the $1bn operating income which is the first cashflow positive quarter ever

i'm gonna be at Overkill! i'm gonna get to finally see Sickhouse in-person! i'm gonna be running stuff but i still need to figure out session titles & descriptions, now i'm just thinking about emails, anyway, the point is it's gonna be fun & i'm looking forward to seeing people there!

prototyping is the slow part that makes the final build a matter of assembly

its easy to confuse raytracing, raymarching and raycasting, but its simple to distinguish: raycasting is where you cast a ray out until it hits an object and you render it. raymarching is where you march a ray out until it hits an object and you render it. raytracing is where you trace a ray out unt

good analysis of the implied politics of a videogame system: acoup.blog/2026/10/23/t...

What's striking to me are the rules of engagement and the methodology of action here, which more or less is predicated on burying liberal delusions about "debate" or the "marketplace of ideas". The rules were ultimately very simple: amplify your own message and suppress your opponent's.

The mobilization itself was already not something I ever expected to see, but to actually win? Hell, to double the winning margin from the 2022 runoff? Genuinely surreal. Maybe child raping billionaires *don't* have to run the world with a shit-eating grin. Maybe that can stop.

For the past few weeks I've been fascinated by an emerging TikTok trend of 3D polygonal girls who explain engineering and societal manipulation to you. If you've seen them too, of you're like... what? I've written this for you: discernable-trend.ghost.io/whats-with-t...

A lot of software teams I talk to are trying to understand themselves and their own activity over time. There is an aliveness to it that I like. There's a questioning of just being handed metrics when you feel Claude could help you learn to wade through data. I see the mess but I just love it anyway

first cold water swim of the season complete, now i'm back in bed

yeah man it’s an upgraded cluster grenade but let’s give it a banana theme <— good game design

The second workshop day in this context has brought a surprising amount of nuance to this argument. While talking about cybernetics and feedback loops, students voiced a well formed argument that most videogames (in this moment in time) are focused on keeping you playing. Something we associate...

glad that Tim Sweeney has brought us all together to talk about Marxist analyses of the tech industry

when you hear startups constantly talking about their "moats", what they are talking about is a structural factor which will delay this from happening. they know it's inevitable, but the hypothesized reasons for the delay is often the thing that forms the basis for the company's value.

A capital finds a technology to make its labour more productive than that of other capitals. It makes a surplus profit. The technology becomes the new norm across all capitals. Surplus profit disappears. Expanding scale now only way to make bigger profit. Next technology comes along. Rinse & repeat.

i couldn't have said it better myself

don't agree with this but on reflection it's because i think that the self is an illusion and that consciousness is not a meaningful concept. but on the other hand i also don't think an uploading machine is a real possibility in a different and more concrete sense, so.

tickled by the sentence "The claims potentially rely on the public not being aware of how to date historic buildings" as if I'm going to do a dendrochronological analysis before popping in for a pint

You have to laugh at the sheer insanity of Turning Point UK being found to be organising literal contract killings and paid agitation at protests up and down the country and it barely even raises a flicker across the press. If that isn't 'terrorism' on some level I don't really know what is

i'm teaching the class

as i'm still seeing this going around: they've already removed the blocks, they did so 3 hours ago github.com/bluesky-soci...
