I'm doing the game dev thing again.
Shit, the last game I did is from 2013(!). Wow.

No stress.

Polarisierung ist laut. Nuancen sind leise. Und zwischen „Das wird man ja wohl noch sagen dürfen“ und „Ich halt lieber meinen Mund“ liegt... nichts? Doch. Fakten. Kontext. Einordnung. Gespräche, die verbinden statt spalten. Genau dafür gibt es teilensWert.

Small update to the Visible Zorker: the “Map” tab! Highlights your location (and the room definition in the source) as you move around.

Map is full of spoilers, like the rest of the thing.

It's time for the friendly reminder:

DO NOT USE GOOGLE CHROME.

And if you need a better reason than that google is evil, read this:

@lartist.bsky.social Not sure if you get this, but one of the ads on licd.com is redirecting to random sites (and once in a while to naughty stuff).

Seen on the December 2 post coming from RSS.

You might want to see into it.

2 years and 8 months since LUNARK came out. Hard to believe.
I spent 4+ years mostly solo on this project - rotoscoping, coding, composing the OST - and your support made the difference! Thank you for playing my little cinematic-platformer tribute 🥰

A quick and easy way to fuck up the day is to notice that you forgot to commit the vital code changes you made last night and the machine they are on is 50km away, at home.

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."

There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

I started building this year's #WinterVillage and began with something very #NotLego, Fun Whole's "Ski Lodge". It's a tad bigger than I thought (as I ignored the size info when I bought it).

On to the next building.

I've made a little device that takes a 2 button #MSX joystick on one end and poops out a USB gamepad on the other side. There's an auto-fire option that can be (de)activated by holding down one of the fire buttons and rotating the stick a couple of times.
