RIP Charlie Kirk, you would have loved politicizing the shooting of Charlie Kirk.
on a serious note it's incredible how little they cared about the guy. he wasn't even confirmed as dead, never mind his body cold, before they started pushing "lefist" and "trans" "terrorism" narratives. they saw the blood gush out of his neck and thought "this is an excellent opportunity."
just so you know, twitter losers are trawling through bluesky and doing their usual thing of complaining about people who are telling jokes. comedy is legal now, losers. deal with it.

There are thousands of tickets available for @nhlcanucks.bsky.social games at @rogersarena.bsky.social this fall. Unless you are in a wheelchair. All accessible seats are gone (at least for the date I'm looking at, November 8th). This is, effectively, discrimination against disabled people

I’d love feedback from fellow devs in the games industry sphere about my text handling library Hairetsu. It’s an open source, highly portable library that provides font listing, font handling, text shaping and layout and glyph rendering, all bespoke.

I'll be honest, the past few weeks has been really rough on my financial situation. A large part of my income comes from donations, followed by purchases of my software.

If you like what I do w/ #Inochi2D, #dlang, etc. consider chipping in to help keep me going.

Turns out Inochi Creator is no longer the only D software on Steam nowadays. This game was written in #dlang as well! Nice.

Hairetsu 0.5.0 has been released!

Basic text shaping w/ vertical layout, TTF support, glyph rendering, glyph lookup with Unicode support, with more to come!

Also released under the Boost license to make it reasonable for game devs to just use it without worrying.

The ‘Piracy. It’s a Crime’ campaign used pirated music, *and* as it turns out, also used pirated fonts. Incredible.

Buses are just short and stout trains on wheels, Airbus makes planes, ergo. Planes are just trains on hard mode. At the same time trains are just submarines suspended in oceans of oxygen and nitrogen.

Everything is a train and a submarine. Case closed, still autism.
Ah, the 3 kinds of autism
