New trailer for the game I - and a small team of awesome people - have been working on. It's a roguelike puzzle game in which you can solve levels in any way you can think of, using random tools. It's a lot of fun.

The winner takes all-instant hit-meme-flywheel mentality that has completely overtaken the games industry and even #indiedev is poison.
It deteriorates the space for risk and sustainable growth, until all that's left is to to either make slot-machines or slop-machines.

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.”
Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life.
Common sense.
Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

You know what's funny? You never hear a AAA company say "we will innovate by scoping projects in smart ways, with small, lean teams, with minimal churn in order to build institutional knowledge". Nope, still horribly inefficient giants teams full of middle managers but with AI slop on top now.

Hot take. Maybe Ireland could instead... I don't know... stop being a tax haven? That would do more good than giving UBI to 2000 artists.
Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

40 years ago, Nintendo released what they thought would be the final statement for Famicom-carts. What they really released was a game that influenced and changed its medium like only few others ever did. A visionary game, still most entertaining so much later. Happy Birthday, #SuperMarioBros.!

No amount of money is worth that CEO dinner table clip. Genuinely embarrassing to watch. Why be wealthy if you have to be so completely humiliated? Pathetic.

Sycophants.
Watching tech’s richest men line up to kiss Trump’s ring is nauseating. Zuckerberg, Cook, Gates... Just every one of them proving that their so-called “disruption” was never about progress but crawling back to power. Same people who built monopolies on our data, and now want to replace us with AI.
Incredible clip of tech CEOs fawning over Donald Trump. Someone store this clip in the underground archive vault

If you think you get meetings that should have been emails at work you should try having a kid in school in Sweden. Two hour meetings about why it's bad to miss school days, and how to find information on the school website and how to use any website.
Every year.

Damn, ICA. Overcooked unseasoned pasta with pale salmon chunks slapped on it and a sprinkle of frozen peas. This is the Italian equivalent of a picture of dry meatballs with a side of stale fries covered with a spoonful of soy sauce. These things do not match!
Ok, got it all out. I am fine now.
