Rollers are a group of birds that get their name from their
dramatic tumbling flight during courtship and territorial displays.
While we did see a bit of those displays, this Lilac-breasted Roller seemed mainly concerned with flashing his fancy colours!

The design I made (a few years ago) inspired by Alice Wong. At the time I thought of intersectional disability and fighting back against everything trying to beat us down. Let's keep up the fight.

It's a great cosmic joke that neurodivergence both runs in families and gets diagnosed based on parent reports. I was diagnosed at 30 because a man who has eaten potatoes every day for 57 years and a woman who collects loose buttons decided I was a perfectly normal child.

Hiya I don't show things off nearly as much as I should for #screenshotsaturday so enjoy a still of a room I'm working on atm. I think as time has worn on on the game I've gotten better at using my tiles in way more interesting ways visually

For #screenshotsaturday, initial work on adding screen reader support to Torment Hexus! I want the game to be playable for unsighted people. There's a long way to go yet, but the path is clear! #a11y #inclusivegaming

And one other thing: we’re being told that AI is the only way to make games cheaper and faster, to pull us from this precipice of production nightmares the industry has found itself in. That it’s necessary.
We put out roughly 3 motherfucking games a year, not touching the stuff.
Skill issue.

Great video that really highlights an issue with games writing: Gender is usually just a cosmetic toggle that doesn't actually change anything. Although screaming morons online still somehow get angry about it.
But Persona 3 Portable went all-in on having femininity change the whole tone of it.

Clover encounters a strange monk like individual in the pit, named Shade.
He says he's on a pilgrimage to the bottom, though Lucky notes he's seemingly blind and lacks almost any augmentation, which begs the question of how he plans on surviving the journey down. (Let alone how even got this far.)

Just had to blow $200 on a new drive for the stream computer, so if you've been enjoying what I've been making (Anti ASMR, the pixelart, the twitch streams, tryin' to be a funny guy) it'd be a real great time to throw a couple of bucks at me.

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.
