Apple Watch dungeon game: I’ve fallen down into the hole of puzzle making, now that i have a good editor. which switch will open the exit? Or a door with… something else… 🤔 #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #buildinpublic #pixelart #retrogames
Knight ponders on which switch to throw… one might open the exit. One might unleash… something else.

Apple Watch dungeon game: latest happenings: working on the puzzles engine now, and it’s coming along great. I was looking for info on successful Apple Watch games, and details are sketchy. Here’s my difference: turn based. Not action based. It makes a difference. More to come.

It’s really early, and I’ve already progressed beyond this early screenshot, but for the longest time, I’ve been wanting to do an Apple Watch game you can pick up and play for a few minutes at a time but that also has depth. I finally started… largely a POC right now. More coming… #buildinpublic

Trump and Chuck Grassley now want us to spend 1 billion of our dollars on this stupid fucking ballroom. What $1B could do: • Build 4,000–10,000 affordable housing units (depending on city/costs) • Fund permanent supportive housing for chronically homeless individuals

Are people’s bosses really making them use AI tools?
Andy Bell had heard companies were forcing employees to use AI tools so spoke to developers to determine if that was the case and learned some horrors in the process.

Putting the current leader’s name and image on everything is an authoritarian move, designed to make them seem more present, more powerful, more invincible than they are. It is a betrayal of American democracy, where power belongs to the people. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Is NBC really the only major news outlet covering this overtly anti-Muslim (and eugenicist) rhetoric from Trump and his Congressional cronies? www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

President Donald Trump has blamed the recent attacks on the “genetics” of the suspects.

“They’re sick people, and a lot of them were let in here. They shouldn’t have been let in. Others are just bad. They go bad. Something wrong. There’s something wrong there. The genetics are not exactly— they’re not exactly your genetic," Trump said in an interview with Brian Kilmeade that aired Friday on Fox Radio.Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla., who had already faced backlash for an anti-Muslim post last month, wrote on X Thursday: “We need more Islamophobia, not less. Fear of Islam is rational.”

Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., said in a series of posts on Thursday that no country is “freer and safer because Muslims moved there,” and he called “immigration” a “national security threat.” Earlier this week, he wrote that “Muslims don’t belong in American society.”

Also on Thursday, Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, called for “No more Muslims immigrating to America."

And Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., shared a post featuring a side-by-side photo of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who is Muslim.Google News search for the story, showing coverage from NBC and a bunch of smaller outlets
