I didn't know until now that backerkit has an overdrive mode, when it keeps campaign active for 10 more minutes after the last pledge. That's a cool feature in my opinion! So here's the link for a Cypher campaign currently in the overdrive mode: mymcg.info/cypher
Cypher: Faster. Easier. And Even Better!
The award-winning TTRPG perfect for forging the stories YOU want to play. Lightning-quick character generation. Super easy to GM. Unique and imaginative campaigns. And all the flexibility, story focus...

Our community is organizing a jam in the late October: itch.io/jam/dcexjam2...
It's a single genre (dungeon crawlers aka gridders like Eye of the Beholder or early Might and Magic and Wizardry) jam with limited set of assets so participants can just focus on making a game instead of making assets.

It is happening! Finally a chance to get “jam proof” badge for eecs (bsky.app/profile/nolo...). I will definitely not make edat (strongly typed file format and parser) before the jam, but eecs alone should be enough!

Valve breaking silence on this is huge, they really dont do this. Companies, at this scale, dont -do this-.
Visa, mastercard, stripe and paypal are feeling the pressure. They are making mistakes under pressure.

Love this one. I remember playing the “N” back in around 2008 or so. When I get my hands on N++ that was exactly what I wished for.

Bring back small internet. When most of people online have something valuable to share even if that was a stupidity. Mainstream kills everything, everything becomes a grey goo.

An alert to all creatives using #WeTransfer. Basically, stop immediately! As of August, they will begin scraping everything you send for AI purposes (see the new paragraph in their Terms and Conditions below).
If, like me, you’re a voice artist, they’ll clone your voice. Avoid at all costs.

Stop treating money as a way to survive or buy shiny stuff and start treating it as a resource. Stop caring about what other people think. You do you and hopefully that combined will give you some freedom and happiness.

Fuck being cool honestly, that is for wimps who cave to peer pressure
Instead try to be as fiercely good as possible, because once we look at people going through shit, we can't see the world the same way again
That shit will hold up always

Dear Canadians:
Please, please, from the bottom of my heart, please vote in today's election. Take it from a USian. Polls can be off, high turnout does *not* mean your side is winning. Your vote is more needed than you know.
I am not allowed to vote. I hope in the next election, I will be able to.
