Ever wonder what snow in the swamp would look like? This is 5 miles into the Louisiana swamps in the Atchafalaya basin... it's unreal... having lived down there for the first 28 years of my life, we never saw anything like this.

Smashed records.

Getting this build of my game tested was such a mistake. It was completely bug free before I did that. Lesson learned.

this hasn't really left the gamedev circles yet but, there's been like, 30,000 layoffs in the videogame industry the past two years. 11000 are from the first half of this year. it's pretty much the most layoffs this industry has had, ever. it's rough for a lot of us.

For any who need to hear this: the game industry can be a cruel & hard place. It's particularly bad right now. If you can't find work it's not necessarily a judgement on you. There are a lot of talented, experienced, & genuinely lovely folks who are also having trouble. You're in good company.

The ever changing light is what makes Patagonia so very special. In Torres del Paine, a spot lit iceberg is dwarfed by mountains in the shade, except the jagged summit, bathed in the warm afternoon sun. 📷🦋

In these sanewashing times, a strange, revisionist spin is being normalized: idea that, in the US, COVID public health measures were TOO aggressive.

Reality: US performed poorly.

Vindman is a hero who helped protect America from an attempt by Trump and Kremlin agents in Ukraine to steal the 2020 election. I know because I wrote a national bestseller on this

This is the co-President of the United States threatening to kill him.

Things are going to get so bad!

I wonder how many people know that Breath of the Wild launched on Wii U and that the Sheika Slate is modelled after it. The original UX for BotW was supposed to be much more closely tied to the second screen experience of the Wii U.

Discussing Bluesky migration in terms of liberal flight misses the simple fact that most people use social media for fun not influence and this platform, unlike X and cruddified Facebook, doesn’t feel like you’re wading through shit to reach your friends. It’s not that deep.

The only reason anti-vax attitudes were able to take root in the modern era is because vaccines are so fucking good at their job people forgot why we need them

Also, part of the reason we did bought InfoWars is because people on Bluesky told us it would be funny to buy InfoWars. And those people were right. This is the funniest thing that has ever happened.
