Please be conscious if you protest this weekend that there are feds at the protest. They look like you and they sound like you, not like Steve Buscemi in that one clip with the skateboard. Thinking you can spot them is self delusion. Nobody you haven’t met needs to know your last name.

Oh hell yeah one of my favorite animes is BACK

I don’t know if Trump will succeed at building a full stop American dictatorship in the short term if the military meeting is any indication but I also quite frankly don’t see a world where the bad actors get prosecuted and the constitution gets amended (or overhauled) to stave off the worst

the fact that so many people frame autism as “a problem that needs to be solved” is a constant reminder that being “not normal” isn’t acceptable to a large amount of the world. it’s the same reason there’s a trans panic right now too. they think people are defective

Really dislike this world where “US Government Autism Update” is a dice roll of “how bad is it gonna be”

Feeling like one of those days where I should have become a farmer or some equivalent instead of a programmer 😅

one problem i can see on the horizon is like any junkie, the violence-addled american public needs harder and harder stuff to get off. shooting up a school doesn't get you noticed anymore. this proves you now have to pop a computer guy live on the computer to get noticed in today's media environment

No matter how bad you think it can get, it can always get worse
trump just now in an address to the nation on charlie kirk says they’re going to try to start cracking down on leftist groups and individuals who might be stoking “violence”. not great!

This a federally-monitored website. The regime is on highest alert. Anyone posting advocacy for violence right now is a fedposter or a fool. This has nothing to do with what is right or wrong or what you have a right to say. It's simply a fact.

Don’t see the direction America is going as anything other than more violence than less.

Im not gonna shed a tear for the worst people however I don’t think Adventurism is valuable and frankly I just fear where we are headed overall

I’m so tired and exhausted with AI… I really resent what it has done to the discipline of programming and I don’t think fancy auto completion is worth all the other negative outcomes in the field, nevermind the obvious ethical issues outside of it

Are there game jams in Seattle? I want to meet other game devs making cool stuff and also try to finish a weekend project

UFO 50 has consumed my life… this game is so wildly ambitious and imaginative. I feel like I could play it forever

Resisting the urge to start a new game when I have one mid development but I’m also feeling like I need a short break from this larger project. 😮‍💨

Any underrated pico-8 games I should play? Want to explore more of the library beyond the featured tab

Feeling proud of myself that I was able to compose music for my own game (with some small pointers from friends)

I feel like when I’m working on something I sort of just forget to post. I went to an indie game meetup and ppl asked “where they can follow my project” and I got no answer 😭

Trying to make art in pico-8 without using too many sprite slots is a fun but challenging puzzle. Choosing what to draw and not based on a larger sprite requires some really clever tradeoffs.

Anyone have any advice for picking up trigonometry/geometry stuff for game dev? I am currently using AI code completions for more tricky parts but would like to have at minimum a baseline understanding of what I am receiving.

This is what happens when you believe the hype that vibe coding means you just need an “idea guy” to build a startup.

The technology may get there someday but today’s LLM-based AI coding agents ain’t it.
