what are YOU donating for #DB2026

Its forever been the wildest thing being at games conferences -especially the largest ones- and the talk schedule is like - creating sincere art from playful naivete - balancing passion and health - how to dodge parental controls when monetizing toddlers - regrets from my 1st commercial codebase

Fuck David Eby to high heaven for saddling us with these fucking bigots.

HERE WE GO AGAIN!!!! Desert Bus for Hope 2026, the 20th year of Desert Bus! I hope y'all are ready for what promises to be the greatest show on Earth featuring a bus. What mischief, excitement, wonder and hilarity have we cooked up for this most auspicious year? Head to desertbus.org right now!

while you port and emulate games, I ported Jira to my PSP

Part of my literal job is to fly out to physical game studios to rescue and recover historical materials that might be endangered and put them in a permanent archive. @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social is a 501(c)3 publicly funded to do that, my DMs are open, and I'm free for the next couple weeks...

the world in my lifetime used to be a really beautiful, strange, occasionally cynical but always new, place. it's been difficult in the last year to feel like that world has died, replaced with nothing but a recycled version of itself. most of us sleepwalking, the few of us awake perpetually crying.

An 'open-world football experience'? 17776: The Game finally confirmed, congrats @jonbois.bsky.social

what a MASSIVE FUCKING WASTE oh my god

Kenney has done more for the profession than any billionare -- great place to start if you want to get into making your own games.

*not sure how to tell a guy his fit is good* you're really serving cock today man

Check your mirrors, your alignment, and the speed limit: @desertbus.org for Hope 2026 is almost here! Starting today you can support Child's Play and keep the bus on the road with this year's shirt, plus a special anniversary design: www.fangamer.com/collections/...

I'll be honest, there is nothing more demoralizing to me than devs saying "I know AI is built on theft, and anti-labour, and harms the environment, but I'm going to use it anyway bc I don't believe individual choices matter". This is how a movement fails. www.molleindustria.org/blog/future-...

If you've yet to vote in the BC provincial elections: - Please register to vote if you haven't. You can do it day of! elections.bc.ca/2026-provinc... - Vote strategically if necessary, sites like votewell.ca will help. You can find your riding on the Elections BC website, too.

Behold! Two shirts, both alike in dignity. One, celebrates the past, 20 bus routes of stamps adorn its back. The other, a cream colored vision of the present that demands you adorn your 3-D glasses now.

Now is the time to care about everyone, not “once we win” The time to care about everyone is always always always now

Don't let billionaires convince you slop is the future. They're used to managing & directing, not making things themselves. Of course they can't see the difference. They don't understand your love for the craft. Keep making personal, beautiful games. You've got my support 💖

I’m still worried about the provincial election next weekend, but god damn does it feel good that my city fully rejected the right-wing scare tactics of an incompetent and shitty bully. Ken sim losing by 30k votes is goddamn delicious. Let’s start helping people & making things better.

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

"Now getting off at, A 03."

Vancouver Tenants Union calls me: (starts a whole lengthy fundraising pitch for donations) Me, interrupting: Sorry, let me shortcut this. I’m extreme enough that I believe physical violence against landlords should be legal, so I’m very down to give you money. How much do you need?

just now learning that the board game Clue is called Cluedo outside of North America. another win for American English if we’re keeping it real

Final preparations for #db2026 are under way! Prepare to embark on October 23rd, 2026.

VOTE TODAY 8AM-8PM EVICT KEN SIM AND ABC. ELECT COPE. WE GOT THIS.

We're live for the next hour in a special before-the-run "Hey didya know Desert Bus for Hope is next week?!" stream. All aboard!

we have nothing left!! discord's selling your data to poorly secured third parties. The entirety of bsky staff has AI psychosis. twitter is ran by a fascist pedophile, tumblr is censorship happy, patreon disables your account of you breathe wrong, youtube's demonetization algo is inscrutable

This is the shit you love to hear just as everybody is feeling extremely anxious about the opaque ROI of AI and specifically AI capex in Meta’s case. You want a story where your CFO says “it will be really bad if you’re wrong about this”

I want you to think of all the people you see in passing. The barista that remembers your name, the cashier that recognizes you, the old man who tells you the same joke every time you pass him. They're important to you, right? You're one of those people to so many people. You're important.

My toxic Vancouver trait is I like all the fireworks during Halloween. I think the teens should blow up pumpkins and have roman candle fights. Fuck it, let's go.

everyone is making pretty bold anecdotal claims about the Yandex DC going out resulting in less right wing content, but all the actual data I’ve seen has been saying it hasn’t moved the needle at all. I would be very skeptical of these claims; they will almost certainly turn out to be totally false.

Join us this Friday, October 16th, at 4PM PDT for a special one week early pre-marathon stream coinciding with the donations for #DB2026 officially opening, as well as the prize schedule.

Movie recommendation for tonight, A Tale Of Two Sisters Did I ever mention that this is one of my favourite horrors of all time? If not, this 2003 masterpiece from director Kim Jee-woon is one I cannot recommend highly enough, especially if you're looking to get into the Halloween spirit.

NEW: Another record-breaking turnout for advance voting today! Next chance to vote is Tuesday, Oct. 13th, 8am to 8pm. And if you've already voted, volunteer with us to get the vote out! www.evictkensim.ca We got this. #EvictKenSim

the machine will soon cause a catastrophic event. we must prepare ourselves by printing out every frame of the most culturally significant pornos and learning to wield the blade to defend our stockpile of flipbook pornos

Bumping this again! Let me know if you have any questions or know someone who would be a good fit!

Version 2.0 of Have You Been a Good Girl, my trans/saphhic/SCI-FI Extraction Shooter that lives in your DM's, is now available. Paid version has more GIRLs and detailed examples of play. Basic-B version has multiplayer rules and build-a-girl rules too. Free forever. notwriting.itch.io/hybagg

there's a premise in harmony by project itoh about losing consciousness by automating the human body and mind. "the harmonious brain is a brain with all uncertainty removed" it's ironic that these guys argue ai is conscious when they ultimately want to live an unconscious life
