Apparently this is just a coincidence and that is not @timoflegend.bsky.social.

Screenshot of a Bluesky feed. A Double Fine post about their new lighthouse game, “Keeper,” appears just below a repost of a TikTok video entitled “Fun facts from a lighthouse.” The video features a weathered man with a big white beard who resembles Tim Schafer, but who is allegedly an unrelated lighthouse keeper from Norway named Paal.

If you buy an NFT of a stock in OpenAI you should have to wear a big bell like a goat for the rest of your life.

The crash is going to be brutal when it comes.

Robinhood says "it might offer "tokenized" equity in OpenAI. By "tokenized," Business Insider reports, Robinhood means "blockchain-enabled representations of securities like stocks." In reality, they have no connection to OpenAI equity whatsoever."

Not just vibecoding, they apparently intend to do vibedesign as well. It's filler all the way down!

True, there is a lot you can do if you're lucky enough to have both spare time and a day job. Which I suppose was also somewhat true back then, but it was much harder to deliver anything to an audience.

Grave Ghostman still thinks you are nifty at Halloween season @thatdave.bsky.social · 11d

I cannot argue with this.

Jay @envinyon.bsky.social · 11d

someone in a podcast I listened to today said like "all the developers that worked on legendary games in the 90s would never be able to get into the industry today" and I think that might be entirely accurate

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

I live less than forty miles from SF and will probably skip it because who am I going to talk to when everybody interesting is avoiding my country (for obvious good reasons)?

Best encapsulation of game design in general that I've seen in a while.

Tanya X. Short @tanyaxshort.bsky.social · 24d

sometimes for game dev you google which animals have the best eyesight.

then for game dev you ignore the AI summary claiming one such animal is 'goat'.

then for game dev you have to read a whole-ass article to find out yes Goat is one of the best but god damnit I'm still not doing that.

I just cycled past a lemonade stand and the kids shouted out that they take Venmo, and I guess it is 2025 after all.
