Alright, a little late for Monday's lunch hour in most parts of the world, but here's the first part of a five-part video series about making a text-generating bluesky bot. It's quick, assumes almost no knowledge, and is (hopefully) fun. #procjam

Inspired by lo-fi study beats and driven by my desire for peaceful winter ambience, Endless Winters is a simple hack of EarthBound that perpetually pans over a snowy landscape.

Game idea: Backwards Balatro, you play with everything unlocked, but whenever you win you pick a card to destroy it forever, until you get rid of the whole game

love the implication here that this middle ground was taken away by spicy online anti-genAI hot takes, as opposed to the trillion dollar investment bubble, omnipresent industrial takeover, operating system undermining, mass layoffs, leveraged data center construction, + ensuing environmental impacts
