During an RCMP raid last week, forest defenders fighting to save BC's ancient forests were arrested as they tried to block and disrupt logging.

“There’s no reason to just cut this all down for such little money. For nothing.”

New from @brandimorin.bsky.social:

Forest defenders vow to fight on after RCMP raid dismantles Vancouver Island protest camp
One activist was pulled from an 80-foot tree sit and another dug out of a cement-filled barrel — both say the fight to save the ancient forests is far from over

Hey folks; I don't have a job opportunity to share YET but: anyone have any narrative designers to recommend who specifically have experience with surreal, fantastical settings AND working with small teams?

Had the realization recently that someone I was doing contract work for recently was very likely using Chat GPT to give me instructions and feedback

Which 1) is very annoying and 2) explains why communicating with them was so erratic and confusing the entire time.

probably one of the best summaries of 'anti-woke' culture out there tbh and the inclusion of Life is Strange really emphasizes how it applies to Gamers™️
This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

China’s shift away from diesel in the heavy truck segment is dramatic. The country sold more than 900,000 heavy trucks in 2024. Diesel’s share fell to about 57% that year.

Reminder to all my fellow Canadians not to do any of your holiday shopping at Chapters/Indigo. They try to sell themselves as a more responsible Canadian Amazon alternative but their CEO uses her wealth to support Israel's genocide of Palestine.
Indigo Kills Kids is a social campaign calling for a renewed push to boycott Indigo due to its CEO's involvement in the oppression of Palestinians and its complicity in the genocide in Gaza. #BoycottIndigo #IndigoKillsKids | boycottindigobooks.com

Epic Games sent a DMCA notice to my online stores for my geology-themed design involving a crossed pickaxe and rock hammer that said "PICKS...or it didn't happen" because they asserted that Epic owned all rights to artwork/mention of pickaxes, right before an SVP annual conference. Eric cost me $$$

Man between the copyright takedown of my video, a networking bug that has broken my entire game and a git fatal error corrupting my project this has truly been one brutal fucking weekend
November 30, 2025 at 8:26 PM
Ok i lied, was marked as copyright before it even was published (despite it basically just being me talking over the thing which was played out of order)

So change of plans: this 45 minute video I worked on for three months will never be published 🫡
video is done, will probably put it up at some point this week
I wrote 30 pages on a bad Hallmark movie about game development. Hoping to turn this into a proper vid within the month, pray for me

The only people I have heard of use these are 1) ICE 2) Creeps and stalkers who use them to record people without consent 3) the people who made them
God products like the Apple Vision Pro and Meta glasses are so funny because they make such a huge deal out of them and no one I know uses them or even owns one.

My game started coming together only after I finally stopped obsessing over certain worldbuilding and story aspects and committed to them, even when I wasn't sure if they'd work. I resolved to MAKE them work.
Was listening to a writer describe worldbuilding as something that is tempting to do because it can easily just be busywork that makes you *feel* like you're being productive even if you're not, and now I'm thinking about that frame of mind in relation to gamedev

Introducing: Little Frog's BIG BOX Adventure!

This is a little puzzle game I've chipped away at in some spare time this year. I plan to expand this into a full game at some point, but for now you can play a little demo version on my itch!
