Much as I might be giving off some Grinch energy here, I am helping with Archive Team's effort to save links before the shutoff.
I went from 0 to archiving in like 5 minutes, they make it super easy. If you want to help, the simplest way is downloading a VM: wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/Ar...

I do not understand why the party is not marginalizing the obviously poor judgment and defensive crouch of the Biden campaign's inner circle.
Anita Dunn, Ron Klain, or David Plouffe should not be allowed anywhere near a Democratic campaign again.

I have come to adore Mimic Logic, this weirdo little logic game that is essentially the Parlor game from Blue Prince taken to its extreme logical conclusions.
It's at 98% positive, only a few reviews short of Overwhelmingly Positive on Steam - give it a go!

Come secure Wikipedia with me! We're hiring a manager to oversee security operations, and to lead a group of security and privacy engineers that keep the platform safe.
There's never been more energy at Wikimedia for this kind of work. Throw in for it!

Honorable Mention: A tiny and free game called Voir Dire, by Daniel Mullins (of Inscryption fame), an absurd take on jury packing.
It was made in 48 hours in a game jam, is only ~30 mins long, and is very funny in Mullins' unique way. Well worth a download!

#1: Satisfactory is a completely enveloping hand-crafted open-world sci fi automation game that starts out small and goes to wild scale. It's long, but it has a story, and ends!
It's a once-in-a-decade juggernaut of a game - there's nothing else like it.

Go in blind, set aside probably just an evening. Well worth it!

#3: Rise of the Golden Idol continues the series as the weirdest and best successor to the Obra Dinn detective game mantle.
The cases are just as tricky and fun, but they've learned usability lessons from the first and so it's only more smooth to play.

Made by a solo developer, Animal Well has a pure vision and respects the player. Play it in the dark.

#5: Minami Lane by @blibloop.bsky.social is a small game where you iteratively build out a street and read minds to meet people's needs.
While not complex, it's super well done - I heartily vouch for it as being perfect for parents to play together with kids.

#6: Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is a pure cut gem of mystery solving with incredible art design.

Enjoying my weirdo holiday tradition of running a real-time mouse interaction sandbox on isitchristmas.com for a few days, with a secret (don't tell anyone!) chat room in the developer console. Someone's figured out how to make a little bot that can change its text colors on command!

Genuinely excited that I can use my own custom domain name for my Bluesky profile - just switched away from the bky.social handle.
It was like 5 minutes - an easy-to-find setting (in the web app at least), and a DNS TXT record to paste somewhere. If you have a domain, give it a shot.
