I already find it exhausting now and then as someone who is quite socially isolated and lives alone to have my own preferences reflected back at me via the piles of books etc I have bought, we really do need other people to mix things up now and then and introduce us to interesting new things

for a second I thought this was from the @blockedforthispost.bsky.social bot, and that made it even better.

The lineup is so good! I went 👀 seeing that @everest.bsky.social will be doing "a retrospective of video game holes." Their 2023 presentation on gardens is one I still think a lot about. www.youtube.com/watch?v=O78u...

they were not content with coming for the lunch money of the Tiny Glade and Townscaper, they are now aiming for Cloud Gardens, too! (I kid, it looks really good, and I can't wait to play it with @writingongames.bsky.social & co.'s Hostile Architecture as the background music)

I'm not in the space, so it's hard to judge how the communal re-evaluation of Isabel Fall is going these days. But it's remarkable to see in 2026 how pinpoint accurate she was on AI systems.

I'm very please to announce a public release of my drag-and-drop bookmarking, game-making, and wandering tool Scrubjay! Scrubjay is a weird website builder that lets you cobble together web elements, images, links, text fragments, etc into a series of nested rooms...

"SCRUBJAY" sits over a bunch of images of frogs, birds, doors. it's a very 90s look

"Hard times are coming, when we’ll be wanting the voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now [...] We’ll need writers who can remember freedom — poets, visionaries — realists of a larger reality." Ursula K. Le Guin, 2014

The last sentence really sums it up why CEOs are so eager to push this technology. Every one of us is atomised and alienated, and the bourgeoisie is no exception.

we live in a world where "humanity is rotten to the core" is a more tolerable idea than "capitalism is kinda busted" but what I love about "capitalism is kinda busted" is realizing every good thing that happens is in spite of capitalism because humans are that committed to doing good things

Gonna stop referring to it as an "industry" and exclusively refer to it as a "biz" like I'm a 1920s traveling circus carnie. "That's gamebiz, kid".

A pro-union game journalist would be explaining the history of Japanese labor unions & strikes to readers. Telling them this is why no one at Nintendo can be easily fired. Instead we get this limp dick "I wish Iwata saved us all 😭" demobilizing nonsense

even if ai could perfectly sort through information with zero errors and deliver instant results it would not be worth the environmental cost. even if ai had no environmental cost it would not be worth its every output being unfixably error-prone. imagine if it was both with no upside lol

What are the hallmarks of 'stolen' time & effort, versus 'genuine' intent, collaboration, failure? Can you read a level for signs of crunch? What forms of management culture appear in ideas about flow? Given enough mindfulness of our probable ignorance, it should be fun to discuss these things.

DO NOT ask yourself whether your art is GOOD. instead ask: is it SINCERE, is it CATHARTIC, was it FUN TO MAKE, is it MADE BY ME, and don’t forget to stay silly
