I started solving the debate between me and other peole by stepping behind them and saying “let’s put a stick on the back of your head, which way do I push to look down” they always go “oooohhhh… I still like the other way.“. Cool. But now you know why we need this.

"This framing recasts leaving a broken platform as performative “virtue signaling” rather than strategic action. But it’s a false dichotomy. The choice isn’t between purity and pragmatism—it’s about where you can actually have impact." www.techdirt.com/2025/09/15/s... By @mmasnick.bsky.social

As a reminder, I’m on the board at Bluesky, which means you should consider me extremely biased, even as this article isn’t really about Bluesky. The writer Jerusalem Demsas wants you to stay on Tw…

It’s a tough cut to make! But worth it to get the game there. Good luck!

Same, but it’s where people are so….? Eventually we as people will learn to manage it… I hope.

I haven’t watched them in a long time but “You call that field of view slider!?!?” echos in my mind.

I’ll be checking this out for sure. I’m completely trapped overthinking it right now and need to break out of it.

It amazes me how little conformity there is for settings menus. I'm looking to standardize my games on something and we literally don't have any sort of 'normal' for what should be happening. #indiedev #gamedev

Why can I not set my phone on “white list” only instead of blocking accounts? It would help with spam, wrong numbers and stalking.

I’m just saying if someone made a game for Burn Notice using a Deus Ex like game design it would do very well.

Commodore are back after 47 trademarks bought, maybe now we can have a new 64 like a mini version or a full size one with sd cards and hdmi or some kind of sd device for the old machines and some new games and hopefully this will kick start the demo scene and magazines and shows

Knowing when to pivot. When to back track. When to give up. When to postpone. It's hard. I've just had to do all those things in the last 2 months as the day job has drained my energy from dream job work. That said I'm VERY excited for the game I accidently discovered while making something else.

I'm about to do the unthinkable...re-enter tutorial hell for fun. Work from the day job has burnt me out on things that 'need' to happen, but I'm also only happiest creating. So... I'm going to take a break, prototype and just do tutorials for a month or 2. See you all on the other side! #indiedev

Ever had your day job flip upside down and realized your passion project must wait?
You don’t want to abandon what you’ve built, but sunk-cost fallacy can trap you.
How do you decide to pause and start something new?

I’m having a blast with it, but almost missed it because it’s not on Steam.

If you like Minecraft, this feels like the next step. I don’t think it’s getting enough attention, so I’m just giving it a little nod for anyone who might be interested.
