I often get sent parts of my work used in memes and stuff without permission or anything. Just recently I was also sent stuff that not only copies the work, but is synthesized by some AI. It feels like looking at a crippled clone of something I once made and it makes me sad. 😔

6-year-old: You... click the little white people to complete things!
Me: ...complete things? That's lots of games...

Video: a Japanese scientist was attacked by flies while giving the acceptance speech for his Ig Nobel Prize-winning research paper that proved painting Zebra-like stripes on cows led to a decrease in biting fly attacks.

Last night, my GF and I played through @panic.com's Time Flies for our date night and we loved it!
I'm not much of a gamer, but this experience got me excited. The details, puzzles, music, and humor throughout the game are just so well done. Give it a go if you're looking for a fun puzzle game.

New on PictoTV: Michael Frei, creator of the freshly released game “Time Flies” (recommended!), talks us through his main protagonist’s character origin story — and how one annoyingly dead pixel ruined his plans for peaceful lockdown entertainment.

This is a very tight, smart and novel dialog-less story about flies that let's you set the difficulty level based on the life expectancy of your country. I had a blast in the few hours it took me to roll credits. They 100% nail the game feel of being a fly, it's very neat.
