The game now displays flames on the match3 grid when it's busy processing actions. I'm really happy with how the fire animation came out! #pixelart #indiedev #indiegame

A little bird told me that there's a comic here for you to read!
Wondermark #1370; The Avian Informant (Part 1 of 2)
Wondermark #1370; The Avian Informant (Part 1 of 2)
![A man in an apron, aptly named Apronni, addresses his coworker:
APRONNI: JULIORA! A little bird told me it was your birthday next Wednesday!
Juliora comes in to reply.
JULIORA: A little bird? Like, a BIRD bird? TALKED to you?
APRONNI: Yeah. Came to my window last night around eight.
Now we see a little pigeon perched on the sill of an open window. Apparently Apronni lives in a barn, or something like a barn? It’s not entirely clear.
BIRD: Pssst. Hey buddy. [Apronni enters.] She’s been looking at ski boots on Zappos. Do what you will with this information.
Back in the office now, flashback over.
JULIORA: Because I’VE seen a little bird too! It let me know when a Zumba class opened up in my area!
ENTREBERT (entering with his hands held a pigeon’s width apart): A little bird? About yea big? Knows a lot about when jeans go on sale? Yeah, I’ve seen ‘I’m!
APRONNI: I guess it must be the same little bird visiting everyone!
Cut back to the bird, still on the windowsill. Part of the flashback from earlier? It’s not entirely clear.
BIRD: I’m very tired](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kihgsldesfdvdp7fi65m3m45/bafkreibsyythulynv4ub447jbqlnjqofsiykphmyxm7bf66duxcgjxopba@jpeg)

On 20 October 2015, someone shot the sheriff of a makeshift little town. Today, almost exactly a decade later, we learn who did the deed. deadwinter.cc/page/678
Over the past ~12 years I've hidden little clues to a murder mystery in between other plot threads. Give it a reread & guess who it was!

take any bailout money and give it out as grants to the poorest people to start businessess in their communities
my hot AI take is that regardless of how we feel about it, bailing out the big AI companies may be *necessary* to avoid long-term systemic harm to real people
as always, the system acts too late to contain the blast radius

If you post work without Alt Text, a lot of folks *will not repost/comment on your work*. Accessibility matters a lot to many of us and we'll simply skip sharing if that's what it takes to encourage it. There are tools to help.

I truly can't stress this enough: No one's art is good enough to justify them being miserable to work with. Almost everyone I've worked with has been wonderful, but the handful of folks that weren't brought the whole team down by being egotistical, sexist, condescending, etc.
