Lancer Tactics is looking for a multiplayer programmer! lancertactics.com/hiring-multi... If you've been through the rodeo of pressing the "enable multiplayer" checkbox for a Godot game, we'd love to hear from you!

Accountability brings consequences. And consequences are the only language corruption understands. Money and political power do not outrank the Constitution. They just need a wake up call and it’s coming at the midterms.👇

This sort of thing annoys me, we can't rely on internet and cell service during emergencies. Halifax has learned that multiple times during hurricanes. Radio is a time tested fall back.

Had a great time last night at the @gm4coopfutures.bsky.social fundraiser rave. Picked up one of the mascot plushes for the archive. They are based on a design by Jupiter V for the org's zine.

Opening post for GM4CF! This all got kickstarted by layoffs abound in the game industry Then... our Ubisoft studio (local to Halifax, NS) was closed mere weeks after unionizing!! 😱😡 The writing is on the wall - we need more alternatives to big investor driven business! Let's learn how together
