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!
🎉

I found that if I prop it up just right, with a certain charger, I'm able to charge my laptop.

Anyway, I made an #LDJam post. Letting it juice up some more before I edit other things for the event. Theme Suggestions open.

Hey @support.blizzard.com, wanted to try WoW Classic, but have to change an account country to add my CC. My ticket is still in the “opened” state after a day and a half, can somebody take a look please? Would love to see it automated in the future!

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.

Keep it up

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.
It's the 10th Anniversary of N++!

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.

If you’re over 30, quote this with some life advice:

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.
If you're over 30, quote this with some life advice:

To live is to be inquisitive. The day you stop asking questions isn't the day you die, but it is the day you stop living.

Neurodivergent is normal. The neurotypical are those who don't see or show their divergence. You can mask, but should you?
If you're over 30, quote this with some life advice

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.

I’ve spent more than half of the dungeon crawlers game jam time making a map editor… I never thought that we’ll need so many features honestly, but here we are.
