I just got so excited seeing that @itch.io actually makes very good invoices that I can easily import into my accounting software that I screeched. Will buy bulk font packages and tile sets for the company again!

As a PhD in Informatics and former Associate Professor and former head of an academic programme I can say with some authority: rarely have I read a better condensation of misled thinking about critical thinking. Frame it and hang it as a bad example: www.theguardian.com/education/20...
It’s time to stop worshipping the liberal arts | Letters
Letters: While such institutions have intrinsic value, that doesn’t mean they are entitled to be socially favoured or economically exceptional for ever, says Jianyang Geng

Pietro, a true auteur, is right about the potential and I think also about what's holding games back as a medium for artistic expression. There's also a long history of more radical art pieces not getting the big screen, at least not immediately.

Wanted to become an artist but loved math. Decided that if I studied computers I might do anything I want with them, including but not limited to art. That was a surprisingly lucid thought for the age I was in.

Thanks to @nifflas.bsky.social I'm finally coding like a big boy. I've now officially got 1 goto statement in my code and it prevents code duplication and maintains readability.

Thanks to watching David Chang's cooking shows I now have home-made shrimp butter and fish stock in my fridge. Michelin-level zero waste umami.

Can't wait to listen to this one!
This is not the worst book we've ever read but it is the meanest episode we've ever done.
Episode 46: Sapiens
It's an ambitious goal to write the entire history of humanity in just 400 pages. It's even more ambitious to do it without reading any research.

Only a few days left to join the second playtest of Sparrow Warfare. I've just pushed the last update for this test and that means you are out of excuses not to find even more bugs!

A lovely Monday morning to start the week! We were featured in Tiny Gaming's Demo Dive, and this morning I got to join The Gamemaster Brown on Twitch to chat our way through a daily flight of Sparrow Warfare:

As You Stood By is one of the most gripping drama series I've ever seen. Absolute edge-of-the-couch material. Tough because it's about domestic violence but so good to see a reflection of reasons behind violence that is not about vengeance. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/As_You_...

All glory to the fusion crab

It's really interesting to see how genres mix and merge in the moment in video games. Every new hit game is a deckbuilding roguelike autobattler RPG that focusses on item management with a Sokoban twist. Or it's multiplayer online horror friendslop slapstick breaking the fourth wall. Both work.

Since our playtest started, @alphachar.bsky.social has been posting daily videos of her runs and it really shows how versatile our gameplay already is. Today was one of the more radical modifiers that replaces your usual defence tiles with something sophisticated: www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyMT...
