I lust after these so much. I have an M1 iMac and use it as my main machine even though it would make more sense to just use my M1 Pro laptop hooked up to the Studio Display. I just love iMacs too much!

ICYMI we announced a call for submissions for a new short fiction Heaven's Vault anthology. We've got one *other* Heaven's Vault related announcement coming ~this week. ... and it's approaching inkle's fifteenth birthday. Let's cook!

NEW OPPORTUNITY: Short fiction writer? Love the world of Heaven's Vault? ... then come play in the waters. We're looking to commission 20 short stories set in the Nebula for a new anthology. Paid, obvs. Full details and a link to the form on the blog: www.inklestudios.com/2026/10/24/t...

It's kinda disappointing that at some point we gained fluid animated window resizing, refreshing the entire layout every frame… and then we lost it? (Or did I hallucinate that? I guess iOS/iPadOS never had it, and Macs sorta still have it, it's just usually really slow)

Surprised to see that a small Apple-authorised reseller had Duo stock when I went in just now (but only 1TB versions). The 256GB models apparently went out of stock very quickly!

Love this - the story of how the Herculaneum scrolls are being virtually unwrapped and read for the first time in nearly two millennia, and there's still a whole library left…

😍

Is it a new thing in macOS 27 that wallpapers can stretch between monitors? I feel sure it only ever did mirroring before? Not that this appears to be perfectly continuous…

🤯 coming in Godot 4.8… godotengine.org/article/dev-s...

Yesterday Apple makes a load of Home announcements. This morning my coffee machine with a HoneKit plug automation didn't switch on. Now my Philips hue lights aren't communicating with HomeKit. Coincidence? 😒

Looks really cute! I want to give it a poke in an Apple Store! But genuinely, not sure I need yet another screen in our house. Our kids are already get super distracted by our smart picture frame in the hallway when we're just trying to get out of the door in the morning.

Very cool, and nicely presented!

New video editor "Blick" seems fantastic: super lightweight, fast, good price, and surprisingly full featured for such a new app. Has that feel of a UI developed with a low level game editor framework. My main criticism is that it doesn't have many Mac menus in the menubar. Check it out:

Apple has added a new Device Preview feature to App Store Connect - super helpful to see how your app will be presented on the App Store for various devices.

I'd always been slightly reluctant to pay for a screenshot framing app since I usually DIY in Sketch, but this Duo feature in @charliemchapman.com's Framous is killer! Sold.

I was really hoping that the Screen Time feature in iOS 27 would be great for parental controls. So far it seems they have some good new feature but overall it's just as buggy as before 😞 seems flaky as hell

Never seen this before! 😬 first time for everything I guess

I live in Leicester. It's just over an hour on the train to London. Yay! Except if I want to go to London for an event that starts at 9:30am and return in time to see my kids before bed it's… £209. For a 1 hour 8 min train return ticket. UK train companies are taking the piss.

Today is the ten year anniversary of the completion of the Sorcery! series! What began as a pitch for a "Discworld companion app" to a publisher grew - thanks to Steve Jackson's trust! - into a massive, sprawling, open-world interactive fiction adventure. If you came for the ride - thank you!

Because I'm a nerd, chopping always reminds me of GPU programming. Embarrassingly parallel baby.

@atp.fm OMG 🥰 you guys did it! Can't wait to listen, and thanks for listening 😃

We optimized draw calls by 99% (lol) in Hidden Folks 2 by writing some tools to find all textures used in a level, generate a level-specific atlas, and replace individual texture references with atlas textures. Thread below 🧵👇🏼 #godotengine

I'd already prepped this in anticipation of the iPhone Duo announcement, guess the work won't go to waste 😃 interested to see how easy it'll be to adopt the new vertical toolbar

Whaaat this is too cute ☕️

Okay yeah iPhone Duo looks amazing - that folding animation 😍 Such a relief that the second camera is a telephoto even if it is just 2x

Found some 14 year old Turkish chocolate in a pocket that I forgot existed in a bag I almost never use. Wish me luck.

I don't feel like I use Bluesky and Mastodon anymore, I just use Blastodon. Moosky. Mastosky. Blueskdon. Yeah, good thing they called it Indigo.

I used to absolutely love Sketch for vector drawing and UI, but recently I've become frustrated with it as it's piled on features and redesigned the interface. I used to be proud that I was using the native indie Mac app, but starting to wonder whether to consider the enemy… Figma 😕

to really understand the absurdity of metacritic, imagine rating all foods in a similar way. or what about a metacritic for clothes? sports and exercise? language? who do we as game devs tolerate that place.

Super excited to have been the very first sponsor of Designed in California from @myke.social and @snell.zone! And just heard my very first podcast ad read 😍 The history of Apple is very much my cup of tea, and you couldn't hope for a better podcasting pair to tell it. Highly recommended!

Did you know? The 2026 detective game "TR-49" has been described as using a Wikipedia rabbit hole as a gameplay mechanic. But nothing rivals the original experience of going down a wiki walk ➡️ w.wiki/5GU
