After leaving Disney, Mickey Mouse co-creator Ub Iwerks once made an animated cartoon where the concept of Prohibition goes to hell. The protagonist of the cartoon is a little boy who helps the devil make sure Prohibition doesn't escape being tortured. youtu.be/xlaUtX0YOug

TIL that one of the first pioneers in networked computing was named J.C.R.Licklider (his friends called him "Lick")

Starting week 2 at a corporate in office software job. On-boarding is feeling really slow. It was necessary to get a job but I feel so out of place not working on games.

I've been doing tutorials on things like proc terrain generation in Godot but I can't help performing code reviews while I work on them. I'm amazed at the cool stuff people have figured out how to do but there are some bad coding practices.

My partner who lives 40 mins away drove to spend the afternoon with me before having to go back to walk her dog. It was extremely healing to spend time with them after the last couple of weeks.

I've self taught 3 different IDE/Engines, learned one new language and refreshed in 2 more that I hadn't used in years, and the year is only half over.

Looking back at this, I wonder if I can recreate that accidental "all past selves spilling out at slightly different positions" effect on purpose...
More progress today getting some of my own art in, as well as connecting time travel to getting into and out of the Time Pod. Lots of waiting on signals from the Animation Player to get this working.

I spent the day teaching myself Android Studio for a job interview. It's been almost a decade since I've written any code in Java but I'm actually having fun.

I've decided to upload my in-development progress of the Chronotron remake to itch dot io!

It's a pay-what-you-want (free) demo of the game, but please follow the project so you can get updates!

anyone who's gonna go "it sucks but you gotta win over people first, slowly build the case for rights" for trans people should tell me, without looking it up, when they think interracial marriage reached majority approval in america

Just finished catching up on the CTWC 2025 Tetris world championships and it was a great time! What an adorable wholesome community of healthy competitors.

Trans icon Ms. Pac-Man
Ms. Pac-Man's transition from Crazy Otto started through a bold call to Dave Marofske, who was president of Midway at the time.

Marofske was always in court against Pac-Man merchandise bootleggers, so he was impressed by GCC's Kevin Curran calling him about their own project.

Vertical Slice is a terrible way to make a video game. It's not a solid foundation upon which to iterate, it's a necessary step to convince execs that the game will be good, but half the work on the slice often has to be undone to actually build the game.

I wanted to see if any other actors from Twin Peaks besides Lucy the receptionist were on The Simpsons and Google’s AI overview hallucinated this episode that I really wish I could watch if it was real.

I've lost out on two gigs this year by asking for too much money, and the most recent one was even 10$/hr less than what I would have asked last year.

At least I occasionally still get interviews, but competing with every laid off gamedev in the world is pretty brutal.

new @mattbaume.bsky.social video is one of his best as he posits the importance of Lwaxana Troi, a character I definitely did not appreciate in my youth www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHbT...

This is a spectacular and thoughtful thread on fashion and not putting yourself in a box or needing to use clothes to hide
I get this question a lot. I don't have strong views on how transmasc people should dress, but since I often get the question, I've thought about it a bit. Will share some thoughts in this thread. 🧵
