This isn't stupid. This is consciously malign. He's using Signal because there's no digital paper trail. No way to satisfy FOI requests or hold a congressional hearing. He and Trump and everyone else involved know EXACTLY what they are doing and that it is illegal - and unpopular!

I would change pretty much everything about it, to be honest. I would forget about pushing the technology further and make it a more fun and interesting game. Make the levels part of a bigger more interconnected map, add AB-style shops for upgrading weapons, stuff like that.

So here's what an ex Reform candidate had to say when he was expelled over pro-Jimmy Saville tweets: "I understand Reform have got to be careful." Quite a lot of information packed into eight words.

Let's set up a "control Amazon" website. Everyone gets to vote on what they want Amazon to do next, and if Amazon don't do it, we get notified to try and shop somewhere else until they capitulate. This is the shit the internet is for. We don't have to do what they tell us

If it weren't for their walled gardens and captive audiences, literally nobody would choose to publish through the major platform holders. It's like pulling teeth. Ironic that the most open platform has the most streamlined process. No wonder it's winning.

Then the Deck (a retail device) tells me how many watts the game is consuming to run (4.5 in 30fps eco mode) The contrast with other platforms is stark. Endless forms and manifests and build versions to increment; sluggish, fragmented websites. Labyrinthine SDK versioning. Extortionate devkits.

Andy_FunLittleGames @funlittlegames.bsky.social · 10/02/2025

What I like about the Steam back end and the Steam Deck is that they're clearly built for and by people who make games for a living. It currently takes me less than a minute to build, upload, and deploy #DIEDIEDIE. New builds are there the instant I refresh the page.

Watching #Prime on a Firestick? Here's something to try. We got fed up getting served ads during programmes, so for two nights, if we got a mid-programme ad, we quit Prime and switched to Netflix for the rest of the night. We are now three nights without mid-programme ads on Prime.

So Dark Star (1974) has: R2D2 in an x-wing, three years before Star Wars Bishop's trick with the knife from Aliens Close Encounters' musical sequence And a frozen captain in the ship's basement a la Revelation Space. That film has a lot to answer for.

One home-brewed water shader later, #DIEDIEDIE has gorgeous hand-painted skyboxes instead of placeholder AI-generated ones. Note to those painting skyboxes: don't neglect the lower half. Sometimes someone is going to want to set their game in the sky, and will be forced to turn to AI. #indiedev

Andy_FunLittleGames @funlittlegames.bsky.social · 25/01/2025

I'm struggling to find a viable alternative to AI-generated skyboxes. There are loads of nice packs out there, but they're all Stable Diffusion generated. On the other hand, there doesn't seem to be any OTHER kind of hi-res 360 skybox available. Not sure what to do... Anyone got any suggestions?

That's part of the problem though. When normal folk imagine telling massive, easily disproved lies, they recoil in fear and shame. And they assume the same is true for everyone. So when someone struts around doing just that, they think "it has to be true because nobody would risk lying that way."

No: this is what happens when we BECOME interconnected: we start to have a lot more choice over who we connect with. The lunatic in the pub corner muttering racial slurs and complaining about space lizards is suddenly surrounded by ten thousand other bigoted herpetophobics, and is emboldened.

We are truly in the worst timeline. Trump just announced that the department of collecting import tariffs, which are ultimately paid by Americans, will be called the external revenue service. And people are going to fall for it.

Andy_FunLittleGames @funlittlegames.bsky.social · 06/01/2025

The news that #facebook is planning to pack itself full of AI generated accounts comes as a relief. I always felt vaguely guilty for not promoting myself on there more actively, but now I can just stop worrying and forget about it completely.

Andy_FunLittleGames @funlittlegames.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

That's not how it works anymore. He would just smugly say it's all lies and that we're 'finally free'. Trump and all his pound-shop emulators have realised that if they just double down, every time, on every lie, their supporters will whoop and cheer all the louder. There is no comeuppance.

As the parent of a child with #misophonia, it was important for me that the game I'm making be something they can enjoy. Misophonia is an absolute blight on families affected by it. Imagine not being able to eat together, watch movies together, give help with homework, or sometimes even a hug.

Just spent a couple of days implementing #accessibility features into #DIEDIEDIE. Colour plays an important role in the game, and I didn't want #colourblind individuals missing out. Because I really need the money. So if you have a PC and are colourblind, I need YOU so I can test out the features!

What makes Indiana Jones work is character development. The first film is entirely about his journey from being just like the bad guy - consumed with curiosity and hubris - to being the guy who doesn't open his eyes at the end. It's why the third film worked but not the other two.

Trump, like all weak, insecure men, hates the company of competent people. So his picks are always those he has power over; the ability to destroy should they ever rebel or threaten to overshadow him.

Cook until spinach wilted and chicken peels easily in half, glossy and steaming within. Loosen with hot water to maintain consistency. Serve immediately with garlic bread.

Keep heating and adding a little water to keep soup consistency until gnocchi nearly cooked. Return chicken to pan with two handfuls of spinach and a tablespoon of parmesan cheese.

Andy_FunLittleGames @funlittlegames.bsky.social · 17/12/2024

Reduce heat and add sage, oregano, and chilli flakes to the hot juices. Stir until fragrant. Add a chicken stock cube and a splash of water and stir. Add packet of gnocchi, stir until glazed. Add 1/2 pot single cream, stir and heat until bubbling. Add semi-skimmed milk to create soup consistency
