At times like this when feeling helpless to do any good in the world - I still remember what my dad told me as a kid: Every day, lift up five people who can do nothing for you in return. Every day. It’s a practice, not a goal

After 2+ years in development, Rayroads should finally be out this year. Your world is dying. Drain the life from your sun to propel your trains through the void, crack open new planets to exploit their precious minerals, and increase your company’s value to shareholders as all of you go extinct.

I made a video about Of Promises and Paper Airplanes by @rmbananas.bsky.social !! It's a TTRPG about the Beloved, who is leaving, and the Lover, who is being left behind, and the promises they made to each other. And its layout is like no other. youtu.be/qWWKTaYiFUs?...

The true punks and the rebels are the ones who care about the disenfranchised in their community. Anyone who claims to otherwise while calling themselves rebels are dang poseurs.

Reminding myself that sometimes the fun part of game development is manual data collection and analysis. Is it more fun than the game? Hmmm

I'm not a Luddite or technophobe. I just know that after 466 years the thing on the left can be read fine. The thing top-right is 15 years old & uses tech that already no longer comes standard on computers. And the 30-yr-old thing bottom-right needs specialized antique hardware & software to read.
A 1558 book on left, CD on top-right, and 3.5" floppy disk bottom-right.

This scene from Real Genius (1985) featured a university lecture playing on tape to an empty lecture hall full of tape recorders. The modern equivalent might be profs using ChatGPT to grade student papers written with ChatGPT.
