"They should do Assassin's Creed in the Three Kingdoms" sounds interesting until you realize more people die by being trolled by Zhuge Liang than by getting assassinated.

dreamt that someone told me there are two types of indie games: Rooms About the Rooms, and Weirdo the Guy; and i'll be thinking about this all day.

"God, you are such a pedant!"

I keep forgetting the german term for the decision problem (Entscheidungsproblem) and keep calling it the Entschuldigungsproblem (Excuse me problem)

I made a Solitaire Roguelike for Ludum Dare!

It's basically "what if Klondike had powerups that made the game more winnable?"

This was mostly and excuse to learn Godot (which I did by the end of this) but the silly Solitaire game is a nice bonus.

thinking about jay's "are you paying us?" quip and reading back over the replies to this thread, seeing the excitement this user base had to give this company their money, not even caring about the features, to help foster the community they were growing... while knowing what happens one month later

To grow sustainably, we’re working on a subscription model for premium features like higher-quality video uploads and profile customizations (think colors and avatar frames), but Bluesky will always be free to use. We believe information and conversation should stay accessible to everyone.

Haus of Decline @hausofdecline.bsky.social · Apr 28

A huge group of people are in a giant hole in the middle of a rolling field. There is a large sign with an arrow pointing to the hole that says "HOLE." Suddenly the group's attention turns to a new hole, complete with a giant sign with an arrow pointing to it that says "NEW HOLE." One person points to the new hole and says "hey look! Someone made a new hole!" The mass clamours out of the old hole and makes a bee-line toward the new hole. It's chaos. One person, now situated in the new hole says "this feels like how the old hole used to feel." Another person nods in agreement.

I am actually curious which of these stories can get canonized into modern "aesop's fables", and if folks can think of any other ones

Star Trek's "Darmok" except you're just spouting off internet adages like yu-gi-oh trap cards

"So you hate waffles?"
"Crabs in a bucket"
"Nazi bar"
"Tar pit"
"I am very smart"
"Lowtax speedrun"

I FIGURED OUT HOW TO GET GIFS HERE

Put your eyes very close to the two images. open only one eye and then the other, alternating which eye is open and closed until the images seem to be animated. Movie magic!

I'm usually annoyed by them but I think it's adorable when math youtubers try to do the "mog the camera with an impact font reaction gif" video screenshot. like... dr craig, you're doing a video about lebesgue integration. no way a mr. beast watcher is going to be tricked into clicking that

The developer community (especially those who don’t work for Bluesky) around ATproto have made some of their biggest strides ever in recent days and weeks, and were building huge momentum, and all of it has been overshadowed by this bullshit. Jeopardizing that work? *That* is a tech story.
