Bluesky notably chose not to say directly that this is a vibe-coding tool on Bluesky itself, but here is the text of their Twitter post. Just interesting to see the way they market themselves to different audiences.
Vibe-coding, but make it social.

Starting today you can use Attie to make sites: Games, quizzes, guestbooks, your top 8, or whatever you dream up. Go try it!

total game time for running #MoonChild. always on at the moment, but you'll be able to toggle it. going to add livesplit server splitting too I'll probably rebase on mors' fork soon since it's restored a lot more than I have so far

running too fast but easily solvable. don't have access to sdl3_mixer yet so I'll write a quick audio mixer with minimp3 to implement it instead #MoonChild

#MoonChild
a Discord screenshot of a dialogue featuring another screenshot of the title screen of Moon Child for PC with incorrect colors, mostly bright terrifying red. I send a followup Zalgo text, "it's moon child". The recipient, Rina, replies, "You have the power to bring his end"

no more GL holes #RingRacers
a spot in Angel Island Zone in the game Ring Racers that used to have holes in the level geometry due to bugs in the OpenGL renderer, now rendering correctly

Whoever changed the YouTube layout of the footer underneath video thumbnails clearly did not test it at all. Vibe coding rules

I don't think they intended for you to play it this way
Arknights via waydroid; there is a bug with many UI elements being semi-transparent which expect to be rendered over a black background, but waydroid provides a transparent window surface in multi-window mode instead, so the rest of my desktop appears behind the game

this is what video game discussion forums should look like
a very simplistic, programmer design-like page header for the web forums of the game Dwarf Fortress. the title is a crude text-only logo that says Slaves to Armok: God of Blood Chapter II: Dwarf Fortress

The way the game taunts you for trying to undo a horrible action you can commit early on instantly reshaped how I think about video games as a medium.

I hope whoever worked on these #Warcraft remasters knows that their work is not going unappreciated. The reillustrated art is ASTONISHINGLY close to the original silhuoettes and forms, but done in a digitally illustrated style. The more I look and compare the sprites, the more I adore it.
The Orc Town Hall building sprite from Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness, 1995. It is relatively low-resolution pixel art, with dithered shadows cast from the central tower.The Orc Town Hall building sprite from Warcraft 2: Remastered, 2024. It is digitally repainted in much higher resolution, with the same color palette.

This wasn't a bug but I discovered that hall-of-mirrors while screen tilting in software mode has a crazy effect. (This requires turning homremoval off which I strongly discourage). #RingRacers #GameDev
