Valve releases the full sourcecode of #TF2 to the public. Good move after the game had many years without updates and maintenance!

The sourcecode also reveals a tiny bit of #opensource #Godot code in it! (Lights)

Does anyone else find the speed at which true crime documentaries are made now deeply disturbing? Like i like true crime to an extent, but when you're releasing a diddy documentary like 3 days after that shit went down or making a luigi mangione doc before anything has really happened it just 1/2

I have no beef with smartphones, but it always saddens me that the introduction of the iPhone killed off the ecosystem where designers made the most mind bending, incredible phone designs known to man. It was approaching pure cartoon sci-fi back then, and was replaced by rectangles.

Today Civ 7 officially released, and I’ve seen a ton of people on my feed installing, anticipating, playing. It’s been an honor to be the game’s narrative director and to design the emergent narrative system. Surreal feeling to see all this, honestly.

all my issues with civ 7 so far are just a really rough usability, the fundamentals seem great so far; it's wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy easier to polish usability than fix broken fundamentals, so I think they made good production triage calls here, frankly.

Also, my current game project: Vikings on Trampolines. Its a co-op/versus brawler where you're vikings, you fight on trampolines, and balloons are sentient and evil.

10 years ago this week, I started work on Tunic. The game wouldn't have been the success it was without LGBTQ+ folks, both devs and players.

So, I'm matching donations to Trans Lifeline. If you can spare $5 (or more!) reply with your donation and I'll X2 it. Thank you! 💕

My most doomer take that I'm willing to share is that it's not going to survive the year unless we really, truly, seriously fucking rally.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.

I know. I was there in those camps.

Thinking about the rizzler's future...what will he be? What will he do? Will he become a wrestler? A crypto scammer? Will there be a schism in the costcoverse? Will he just get stuck in podcast hell or everyone else? There are many forks in the road for this small child

To all my trans friends and followers, yall deserve to not only exist but to thrive. I know what i feel doesn't compare to what yall are, but it is so deeply upsetting seeing some of the coolest fucking people out there being used as a cultural scapegoat to avoid fixing the actual problems here

Border czar Tom Homan is on CNN complaining that Chicago is “very well educated” and people “know their rights” too well for ICE to be able to enforce mass deportations. Good work, neighbors.
