I guess I’m just gonna make a thread of useful gamedev stuff I want to look at when I’m at a computer ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Here's something a little different for #ScreenshotSaturday, a quick look at my custom #GodotEngine plugin for managing unit actions, with the mage as an example.

Left column are the relative cells to attack, right is the cell to click to activate, and above is the rule for when it's valid.

Earlier today I was listening to one of the hosts from Here and Now repeatedly ask a resident from Southeast Chicago whether throwing rocks at ICE was justified. And finally she just said, "They invaded our community. They have machine guns."

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 6h

Wow. New Economist poll finds only 34% of Americans say ICE's use of force has been justified, vs 51% who say it's been excessive. And they oppose agents wearing masks by 52-35.

Yep, ICE is becoming a pariah agency, and that's gaining deep penetration in the culture:

A friend at EA asked me to share this.
Time for solidarity... again 😞

Make EA Better for Workers and Gamers - Not Billionaires

A group of investors - including the sovereign wealth fund of Saudi Arabia and Jared Kushner’s Affinity Partners - wants to buy Electronic Arts, concentrating even more power and wealth into the hands...

They call them "nodes" because if they called it "visual programming", you'd run away screaming.

There is an actual life-changing conflict between WFH being cheaper and more efficient, an entire layer of middle managers who need to have meetings to feel alive, and the commercial real estate cabal that runs all cities. It’s going to get so fucking weird.

remote work is like birth control or UBI atp where there’s overwhelming research consensus they improve quality of life for people they apply to, yet access is impeded or blocked by the ruling class because the thought of marginalized ppl having rich full lives makes steam come out their ears

2. Rolling Stone is owned by a large media conglomerate, which is ending remote work across its brands.

My home is Portland, Oregon, ~1,000 miles from the nearest office, so this marks the end of the line for me at RS.

You just gotta love your friends so much that you're inside their brains. Inside their souls. You gotta crawl inside their hearts until you know the rhythm like your own. Until your brain syncs up with theirs and you know the joys written upon their soul. It's easy. Don't know what your problem is.

I’ve done the very low dose ketamine troches that ship to your home. It takes a month or two to ramp up to the highest dose they offer. But I went from not being able to brush my teeth very often to actually brushing my teeth most days without it feeling like a chore

This whole interview with @lindseyboylan.bsky.social is amazing, but we need to shout this from the rooftops.

There's this message that abusive men like to send that's something like "yeah, I'm an abuser, but I'm a strong man who can get things done."

And no, he isn't.

LINDSEY BOYLAN: People who abuse women abuse every kind of power they have.

If I could give one piece of advice to today's college students, it would be "stop taking long and deeply personal phone calls in empty classrooms, because there's recording during my course hours set up that's posting directly and automatically to my Canvas page"

important note from libcrusher:

Reactivating temporarily to send a warning.
Since I got doxxed, it appears the same doxxing ring has targeted several other users. I learned that they were banned this week, only for Elon to, apparently, personally unban them. I feel obliged to warn everyone about my experience.

It wasn't just my personal information that got published. Someone, somewhere, got my passwords too. For my banking accounts, brokerage accounts, venmo, etc.
Most of which had different and unique passwords. All these attempts started the day i got doxxed, and have sporadically continued since.

If you know anyone who's been doxxed by this group, you need to have them change all their passwords on every website immediately. Ensure 2FA and any other security measures are in place everywhere.
And, wherever possible, document and report it. Frankly, if you're a lefty of any note, do it now too

If anyone was also a victim of this or knows someone who was, there are ways to reach me. I wish I could go into more details right now. But until that time comes, protect yourself.

I will be deactivating in 20 minutes.
Hopefully, that's enough time for the warning to get out.

Should I just pick a rando indie game and do a critique or something or would that be mean

Jay Sid @jaysid.bsky.social · 12d

Would anyone be interested in some pro bono game analysis?

I'm looking for clients who might benefit from some accessibility, usability and quality assurance-focused analysis and direction.

I'd like to start building a portfolio!

Please let me know if you or anyone you know might be interested!
