I just released my 12-year labor of love project "Approaching Infinity" on Steam. It's the 90s space game you always wanted, inspired by sci-fi classics like Star Trek, B5, and Star Control.

Please re-post and share 😉

Three cheers for MIT. When the White House tried to buy obedience with funding strings...MIT said, “Hell No!” Merit over mandates. Freedom over control. Finally...an institution with the guts to tell power where to shove its politics.

WHO IS FIRING WHO??

The president cannot fire federal employees. He appoints a relatively small group of officials:

Cabinet secretaries, ambassadors, and some other political appointees (about 4k total).

Vought can’t either. Only within the OMB, which has roughly 500.

We still have laws, yes??

Anyone else doing the #StayUnsubscribed from #Disney since they so quickly caved?

I just gave my year's-worth of Disney money to PBS.

IBOL❌👑 @ibol17.bsky.social · 15h

Thanks. I've had it in beta for a few weeks and just released it to everyone 10 minutes ago. Now I have to write a Steam Update...

IBOL❌👑 @ibol17.bsky.social · 16h

Good. I also think its good to have a good vocabulary.

Trump and RFKjr are trying to demonize autistic people. Do NOT allow this. Push TF back.

My stance is very simple: dems should negotiate as soon as, and not before, every impounded dollar is restored, every illegally fired employee is restored, every unconstitutional act is reversed

I definitely had the "not materialistic, live cheap and focus on art" but that ~3rd item: you will succeed.

Now I'm an indie game developer creating something very satisfying and making a living at it so there is that :)

All this tylenol and vaccine and circumcision talk , it looks like it's attacking those things.

But it casually villifies autism in all cases.

IBOL❌👑 @ibol17.bsky.social · 21h

Wow democrats must be really powerful if they can shut down the government with a republican president and a republican congress and a republican Supreme Court.

I guess republicans are just weak.

It is mass resignation time at DOJ. Don‘t be complicit. These goons are largely incompetent and the authoritarian takeover will fail if they have to run things on their own.

Was it you that suggested different builds or loadouts for approaching infinity like 2 years ago?

I'm beta testing that right now

He thought he was sending a direct message to Bondi. This was posted accidentally.

There's a lot to be said about this, far more than social media can handle. But it should destroy the Comey/James cases.

Trump's reckless social media habits could quite easily get us into big wars as well.

I want to see Congress flipped and even if we don't get the necessary votes in the Senate to convict... I want to see daily impeachments. Because damn, there are daily impeachable acts.
