Oops, for all the people who started following me, I realized that my bio was outdated! I'm not WORKING on Été, our game is OUT! :)

Please have a look, it's a hard couple of mechanics to describe into words but people who try it often go WOAH!

There is an infantilization of Greta in some online discussions that really bothers me, and though I am finding I have a weird time trying to explain why I am so bothered, I think it boils to: Neuro-divergent people are not inherently more naive, more innocent, more righteous, or more childlike.

How My Family Taught Me About Political Violence, a true story thread

When I was a kid we had a Nazi flag in our attic. It was huge and red with a swastika in the middle and on several occasions I asked a friend if they wanted to see a real Nazi flag and crept up the ladder to unfold it and stare.

Geez... CAQ in Quebec trying to claim that inclusive pronouns and word endings make the language too difficult is rich. We require 8 year olds to memorize like 10 verb tenses, QC French generally is full of portmanteaux and neologisms, and everyday people use pretty creative grammar and spelling.

I took a Bitsy game I never finished, about a maple syrup heist, and turned it into a poetic memoir about finishing things, for a @gamepoems.bsky.social submission. I'm told it will be shared this weekend at the Winchester Poetry Festival in the UK, which I'm excited about. Takes ~5 mins to play.

Three times in 2 days that I have to tell YouTube that I'm not interested in Taylor Swift content. Is that happening for everyone or does it really think I'm part of that audience? Cause I'm really not

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance

However, they are weaker than they look…

idk if people are wondering why I keep saying “my autoimmune disease” instead of “celiac” but the reason is I think lots of people, including me pre diagnosis, think celiac is a tummyache after eating and not an autoimmune disease that destroys your body’s ability to get nutrients from food

Oh also, here's a couple of work in progress screenshots.

Why is the truck this cute? Why not?
An in-game image of the truck from our game which looks very cute and like it's got on big tooth where the license plate is on it's grill, that's clearly a mouth. Well, clear to me who anthropomorphises everything. A wider shot of the same truck but you can now see a development environment and some sidewalk props like boxes, a street light and two benches. A shot of the truck from behind, you can see the same sidewalk items but also the Big City off in the distance.

Sometimes you just accept things as a part of your day to day, so take a second and say out loud...

"We're making a game called Truck-kun is Supporting Me From Another World?! where you play the truck in an Isekai story."

You can think "...hell yeah..." if you like!

It's coming out next year!
A Manga inspired image depicts a truck, which is crashing into a lamp post, a stop sign, a tree, multiple watermelons, a post box and you can see a person and a tanooki bouncing off in the distance. Behind the logo for the game is an person with long, tied up pink hair, pointy elven ears wearing a suit of armour. They are pointing a sword towards the viewer with an excited look on their face. The logo reads: Truck-kun is Supporting Me From Another World?!"

Just saw this great post again and it reminded me of my old beef against "spoilers don't matter, a good film isn't spoilable": The timing with which information is revealed is important in every movie! It's as much a part of the art as dialogue or lighting,it matters at least as much as aspect ratio

Oh thank goodness. It looks like it actually is possible to disable Gmail/Google Docs' AI nonsense with a non-Workspace account. I'm sick of AI getting crammed into every product in the stupidest ways possible, and Google's one of the worst offenders. Info here:

Canada Post “lost” 1 billion dollars last year?

How about, “it cost Canadians 1 billion dollars to have a national postal service” which works out to costing about $25 a year per person (population of Canada in 2024 = 40 million). Seems like a pretty reasonable cost to me.

"Canada Post is on track to lose money" Hum. Duh. It cost less than a toonie to send a letter across Canada.

"Canada Post is a service and not a business" was common knowledge until late stage capitalism brain rotted most people into think if it ain't making money for shareholders, it's failing.

Made me smile: Waiting at a red light, I see a tough looking guy smoking cigarettes at a run-down depanneur. He spots a squirrel approaching, so he quickly dips into the dep to buy a muffin, comes out and crouches down to share it with the critter. 🐿️
