It’s basically essential I go this, right? This is all my Venn’s diagrammed.
Tickets still available for my upcoming show!

Please can someone tell me who to blame for all modern headphones being OBSESSED with bass. Sounds like someone took the record and shoved it in a sack with some bricks and drowned it.

Okay so game design of #TheTraitors has been so much more interesting so far this series… [mild spoilers]

YES YES YES. This is also why we should talk about players rather than consumers in game dev. We need to change the discourse so that we can start thinking about new sustainable ways of being a game creator.
That's what I'm talking about.

Even when trying not to mince words, Starmer still disappoints. It shouldn’t be just about getting these images down. It should be about why this service was ever allowed to go public. It should be about the fundamental contempt for women’s rights and safety.

This lil dude has future fan art just waiting to happen, I can sense it!

Have been super enjoying this guy’s vids recently. Interesting time to be questioning what Rockstar doesn’t and doesn’t consider illegal.

Was great to get to show this game and for it to actually do everything I hoped it would over the course of the weekend. (Including some saying “that’s not a game!”) But especially lovely to get these kind words. Thanks Mike!
However my personal highlight was getting to play @cdiffin.bsky.social’s Invisible Casino. If you ever get a chance to play this in person, do not pass it up. An incredible and thoughtful combination of immersive theatre and game design, Chris is a delight as well.

So looks like I’m done with this degree! Unfortunately that means my bad takes go here now, rather than blurted out in lectures. Fair warning.

“…machine learning techniques have been found to absorb biases in human language.” Shocking that something constructed entirely from whatever random words are lying around would be influenced by the content of those words.

Wild that the AI “industry” is allowed self-regulation.
AI tools used by English councils downplay women’s health issues, study finds

Some friends and I made an entry for #gmtkjam25! A game about skywriting and the perils of social media communication. My first time jamming, was an experience!

Folks I’ve been using #pocket since ‘09 when it was mainly to download stuff on the spotty uni halls WiFi and save on pre-3G roaming charges. Any recommendations on a replacement?

My parents have a new puppy. Great news, should keep them distracted from the grandkids question for a while.

Hey! If you're at @amazefest.bsky.social and you have time tomorrow (friday) afternoon, I'll be showcasing #WillTheManGetFrog at the open screens from 2 to 4pm!

But please go check out @sosowski.bsky.social's talk first. Then tell me about it. I can't attend, but I want to know what it was like.

Does anyone else get the impression the Supreme Court thinks you can just roll up with full beard on a Wednesday morning and get a GRC with your morning coffee?

Thank you to everyone who entered The Invisible Casino at #nowplaythis yesterday. The Dealer will return today for those that missed it!

Finally got around to putting this #pico8 game I made last year on itch! It’s fun, I think the best score I’ve seen someone get so far is ~100 light years? 🚀 cdiffin.itch.io/wormhole
