I'm very please to announce a public release of my drag-and-drop bookmarking, game-making, and wandering tool Scrubjay! Scrubjay is a weird website builder that lets you cobble together web elements, images, links, text fragments, etc into a series of nested rooms...

"SCRUBJAY" sits over a bunch of images of frogs, birds, doors. it's a very 90s look

What's your "origin" video game? Most gamers have a lot of favorite games, sure, but there's always one that basically 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴 you. I'm talking about the game that flipped that little switch in your brain and made into a life-long gamer. So, which game is 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨?

On a KOG note, very excited. Can’t say much but I think ep 2’s gonna be a good litmus test of who will actually be into this show. So fucking proud of the team. No, I can’t say anything about dates. Time to drop offline again. 🏃‍♀️

Hey guys! Due to the trend of "what's your undertale soul color" reels I've seen recently, I decided to make something hopefully more accurate and fun than the other tests out there. I wanted it to be very Undertale themed and to have a bunch of Easter eggs. Try it at undertale.jadenthejaded.uk!

I keep circling-back to this thread and thinking about it; I'm in a role where I spend a LOT of time looking and research game websites, I feel like there's something useful I could do with all my notes and finds but need to solidify WHAT that would look like...

Donkey Kong 64 makes extremely efficient usage of in-engine coloration to cut down on the number of textures. Entire vibrant and colorful areas are created at runtime from a single texture just by artfully tinting it.

The colorful cliffs in Jungle Japes are just a vertex coloration map being applied to a single 128x128 pixel texture.

Don't have the thoughts fully formed but want to get it out before tomorrow so I can say called it: in the same way that Undertale explores games and how people play them, I think Deltarune is about exploring game and how people "make them"

Resist. Rejoice. Remember. I dedicate this year's pride knight to my community. My trans family, friends and loved ones are beautiful, resilient and amazing and we will continue to thrive like the weeds society treats us as. Happy Pride. Trans liberation at any cost. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

An illustration of a knight facing to the right. They are clad in silver armour, and carry a shield with trans pride colours, which shows a unicorn and the slogan 'Resist, rejoice, remember'. Additionally there is a trans pride coloured decoration on their helmet. The image is framed with a border of dandelion and hanging pride flags.

Lots of good info from Josh, but funny enough a lot of what he describes is WHY I'm so interested in Whimsical Animations (once I have more time on my plate!). Animation feels so artistic compared to fundamentals I use day-to-day that I'm really eager for an experienced perspective on the topic

Infographic titled “URLs Preserved in the Wayback Machine” based on a dataset of 5.4 million URLs. It shows 26% of web pages are dead and 74% are still alive. Of the total, 10% have vanished completely, 18% are endangered (not yet preserved), 16% have been restored through the Wayback Machine, and 56% are preserved.
