Feeling incredibly fortunate after an amazing GDC. We were absolutely floored by the response to Hauntii—it was such a joy and honor to talk to everyone who came by our booth, and meet so many wonderful people. Coming away with an IGF and a GANG award was beyond my wildest dreams. I'm so grateful 💚

The altnps account is the 13th most followed account on Bluesky and has more followers than every single news outlet other than the NYT, NPR and Meidas Touch on here. They actively spread misinformation and exploit gullible old people for cash. Accounts this unethical do not deserve to exist.
Completely insane. AltNPS claimed to know the name of Alex Pretti's killer, refused to say it because "the truth always comes out," and then just deleted the post.
A man was executed on the street in my hometown, and AltNPS is using that as an excuse to vaguepost for attention.

Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

Our constituents are being surveilled, threatened, tear gassed, shot, subjected to warrantless arrest, kidnapped, and disappeared. 35 people have died in detention in ICE’s deadliest year yet.
ICE’s terror and violence need to end.

I came to Congress to do the job: to work for people and protect them.
Now I’m facing 17 years in prison for standing up to this administration and to ICE. But if they think I’ll back down, they are wrong.

Interesting thing I learned while posting this—Bluesky's closed captions are pretty messed up! Couldn't get them to sync up after several tries, until I found a bug report from 15 months ago on GitHub, where someone explains you have to *delay* all captions by 1.45 sec

Bravest motherfuckers you've ever seen. They just saw a neighbor get murdered and still out there. Maybe let's see some local officials with the power to arrest show as much backbone as these voters PAYING YOUR FUCKING SALARY
Live updates: Around 200 people marched more than two miles from the scene of the shooting to Minneapolis City Hall, shouting “ICE out now!” after police hurried away from the scene Wednesday afternoon.
The crowd of is continuing to snake its way through downtown.

Live: ICE agent shoots, kills woman in Minneapolis
Video of the shooting shows an agent firing at a vehicle as it drives toward him. The governor and Minneapolis mayor called for calm after the incident. ICE said the agent acted defensively.

These procedural animation breakdowns are the kind of thing I love about game dev social media. An incredible amount of craft and care in not only the animation itself, but also these hyper-smooth demonstration videos
