Mexico managing to have more spine than every western nation despite being in the immediate crosshairs, fuck every cowardly world leader that tries to play this safe

Mexico:

"The Mexican government strongly condemns and rejects the military actions carried out unilaterally in recent hours by the armed forces of the U.S. against targets in the territory of the Republic of Venezuela, in clear violation of Article 2 of the Charter of the United Nations."

I wanna try draw, write, and code more this year. My real goal is finally leaving Ohio for somewhere less atrocious, but I think it's important to have smaller goals too that are more easily actionable. Just need some small ideas to work on while writing Geilt~ HNY all! #indiedev #gamedev #newyear

i always thought the skies in daikatana looked really cool, they were basically a fusion of quake 2/hl1's skyboxes with quake 1's scrolling skies.
so i did something like that in my quake engine game :3
(hl1 skybox textures used for testing)

I know I need to be around better people next year because this year for the first time in my life somebody told me that I’m reading too much and I hate that opinion for them

Finished up this delightful book nook build that spouse got me for Xmas. It was soothing blend of Lego building and puzzle making that I found extremely satisfying, promoting extreme focus and deep work that magically settled anxiety. Now I understand the "old people working on puzzles" stereotype.

Happy New Year!! I'm really excited to begin a brand new game dev journey this year with my indie game studio, MCS Dream Games Production! Over the last year, I have honed an incredible amount of skills in design, development, and production and I have worked with incredible people on new projects.

Approaching 2026 with this energy:
A picture of an older man being menaced by someone with a knife, bent over grabbing his chest and saying, "Call an ambulance!" In another picture below, he has straightened up and is pointing a gun at his attacker saying, "But not for me!"

I love starting a great book. You can tell how good it is like 6 paragraphs in because of how good the sentences are.

Good evening #GameDev!! If you have a few minutes, a good colleague of mine is seeking input on how AI could help us as developers in the coming future. Any feedback on how you do or don't use AI (generative, procedural, etc.) is welcome 💙💙

Since our news media is evilly irresponsible and politicians were begging to not be held accountable for nation-funded war crimes, Israel is *still* indiscriminately killing Palestinians. There is no peace. #FreePalestine

hypercentralizers are not having a good day today -- #github has joined #cloudflare to block or slow down millions of folks from doing stuff.

Maybe a good time to checkout out this new ACLU article about the current Apple/Google app-store oligopoly […]

[Original post on chaos.social]
last paragraph of https://www.aclu.org/news/free-speech/app-store-oligopoly How we can push back In an increasingly centralized world, it will take very little for an abusive government to cause an effective organizing tool to disappear, to block an app that belongs to a critical dissenting media outlet, or to force invasive malware into a software update used by everyone. We need a shared infrastructure that doesn’t permit this kind of centralized control. We can disrupt oligopolistic control over software through user choice (e.g., preferring and installing free software), building good protocol frameworks (e.g., demanding tools that use open standards for interoperability), and through regulatory intervention (e.g., breaking up monopolistic actors, or mandating that an OS must allow sideloading, as the EU did with the DMA). The device you carry with you that is privy to much of your life should be under your control, not under the control of an abusive government or corporations that do its bidding.
