Sigh. I got the results from the cat scan yesterday. My right lung has a membrane that's normally the thickness of plastic wrap. It's current 1cm to 2cm thick. That's the tumor. I’ll be setting up a gofundme to help with my medical bills

You know about my latest short game, as you streamed it recently 😁 Intern's First Day is about a little intern who has to survive his first day at the weird Lab Lab. The jam version is available at shdon.itch.io/interns-firs... - soon to be update with several quality of life improvements.

An intern stands by the reception/security booth outside a steel security gate and a sign reading "LAB". He says to the receptionist "Good morning, ma'am, I'm the intern, here for my first day!"

Welp, I've given this particular company a 1-star review. They don't deserve it, but it's not possible give them the -5 stars that they do deserve. Incompetent scumbags. And am I the only one who feels this way... well... the graph speaks for itself:

A graph of ratings with the 1-star bar being so long the more positive ratings are barely even visible.

Also funny: they actually used a T instead of a C, so it says King's Tourt 🤣 Vivaldi's T does look really C-like, though.

Weird that they cut the little curl inside the K. The font is actually Vivaldi: fontsgeek.com/vivaldi-font

That was pretty quick! A redditor in /r/tipofmytongue has been able to identify it. It is *Les Premiers Sourires de Vanessa* by Paul de Senneville and Olivier Toussaint - www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2uP... - been at least two decades since I heard it and now I finally know what it is!

Any #piano music gurus who can help me identify this tune? For nearly 40 years now, it's been bugging me that I don't know what this is. www.shdon.com/temp/tune/ #namethattune #whatsthattune

What is this tune?

Going to be working on this over the weekend to release a more complete and bug/typo free version once judging is over in a few weeks.

If you want to give the current version a go, it's playable right in your browser.

"Krankzinnig" is hoe Jelle Postma de motie om Antifa terroristisch te verklaren beschrijft.

Onze vraag aan @vvdonline.bsky.social is: Wat zou volgens jullie de straf moeten zijn voor iemand die zich als Antifa identificeert en een ongedocumenteerd persoon aan een overnachtingsplek helpt?

Pauw & De Wit @pauwendewit.bsky.social · 16d

Afgelopen donderdag werd een motie ingediend om ‘Antifa’ als terroristische organisatie te bestempelen. Deze motie kreeg, mede dankzij de VVD, een meerderheid. Partijleider Dilan Yeşilgöz legt uit waarom haar partij vóór de motie stemde. Ook geeft oud-AIVD'er en onderzoeker Jelle Postma zijn visie.

A game called "Intern's First Day" where an intern starts at a lab that has a pet piranha cannot be considered complete without a sign like this. #indiedev #pointandclick #adventuregame

A sign with the text "days without blub eating an intern" above two cards showing the digits 00.

My little intern riding the self-driving shuttle to the main lab. Screen took way longer than it should have. My home-made engine wasn't intended for it, but there's 4 layers of parallax. Drawing Rayman style detached limbs for ease of animation. #109AdvChal #indiegame #pointandclick #adventuregame

A vehicle whizzing along a road next to a park. We see a cutaway of the main vehicle to reveal the interior with a geeky character inside.
