hey @talkpython.fm have you heard about @jackkoppa.dev's browse.show? i was listening to a recent episode and thought "how sweet would it be if i could find other times y'all talked about XYZ thing." you should make your stuff searchable -- unless it is, and i didn't know.

Only in America do we repeatedly and angrily insist, over the bodies of our dead gunshot children, that guns have nothing to do with gun violence.

It's great! Very recommend
What a lovely thing Wheel World is. It's focused, quite neatly, on a sensation that games don't visit that often.

@spannersready.bsky.social please rant about how bad the wet tire rules are. Why do we have full wet tires if they are never allowed to use them?!?!

I know it's a tough job market out there, but I realize not a lot of people who work in AA\AAA know about WorkWithIndies- but it's probably one of the best places to find off-the-beaten-path listings that you might not come across on LinkedIn.

Was watching a video from jgod this morning, and I think what the #callofduty community forgets is that atvi doesn't make #warzone decisions in a vacuum. It's no secret that they have lots of data, and can use that to inform the direction going forward.

@f1tv.bsky.social can y'all explain why the start/finish line isn't at the front of the grid? Maybe under the light gantry. I don't get it.

Just signed a new law to promote Kei truck freedom in Colorado! This expands access to affordable, fuel-efficient transportation options, helping Coloradans save money and get where they need to go. Excited to join 38 other states in breaking down barriers for Kei vehicles!

I really liked this recent piece in @theatlantic.com. I've met a ton of people playing #warhammer and #callofduty and other games that I would never have known otherwise. It's worth the few minutes to read.

Watch seismic waves from the M7.7 earthquake in Myanmar ripple across North America.
This animation, called a Ground Motion Visualization (GMV), shows how the ground moved as detected by seismometers across the continent.

Hey @maro254.bsky.social I'd really love to hear a discussion about how r&d uses data. Do you work with online or arena to understand what cards are being used or other play metrics.
