I like the two characters. They're silly, I would say

Every time I hear the words ‘Alien Stage’ my brain just stops for a second. I don’t even know what it is yet, but now I’m curious. Apparently it’s something by Vivinos? Guess I’m about to fall down another internet rabbit hole. Can anyone explain it, i would appreciate it.

"2 Characters and tag 5 others to do the same." Tbh, i don't know who to tag but these are my favorite characters.

It's now possible to merge brushes in the engine into a single object, export it and then import it into other rooms. You can technically child the brushes to a parent node and export that but it felt a little messy rather than just doing it as one object. #gamedev #gamedevelopment

"Shitletsky" huh. I guess that's my new nickname.

Just heard that Roblox just changed “Friends” to “Connections” a few days ago… Are they trying to collect more hate like it's an event badge? Because it seriously feels like they're doing it on purpose at this point.

They’re really out here asking kids to submit video selfies to an AI just to chat with no filter on… Are they actually this unhinged, or did someone misplace the common sense update at HQ?

KEEP CREATING! That’s what they don’t want. Art. Poetry. Songs. Theater. The arts are the most accessible way to reach the people and to vent your own feelings and thoughts on current events. That’s why the arts are ALWAYS the first to get defunded. Please please keep creating! The world needs it! ❤️

Starting to think I actually am from "Forsaken" with how y’all keep saying it every time. Do I need to start glowing ominously and speaking in ancient scripts or what 💀

Why does every Roblox update now feel like it was written by an AI trying to guess what "fun" is? I blink and suddenly there's facial tracking, voice chat, etc. Where’s the chaos and brick physics I signed up for?

How did Grow a Garden become the new hot thing overnight?? I log off for two days and suddenly everyone's obsessed with watering virtual carrots like it's a competitive esport. What did I miss??

I just read like 3 words and had to physically recoil. What happened to using the internet like a normal human being? This is not expression, this is digital rot.

Honestly? I’d play that. Nothing says “skill-based combat” like a Matt Berry scream and a spontaneous combustion.

John Shedletsky @shedletsky.bsky.social · 22/05/2025
Wait, so—genuine question—do the current Roblox guidelines actually allow anything fun anymore, or is everything just one step away from getting moderation-sniped?

Sometimes I wonder how many digital fossils we’ve already left behind—games, posts, entire sites—buried under updates, shutdowns, and forgotten logins. The internet's graveyard is massive, and most of it died quietly.

The old internet felt like exploring a weird attic—forums, gifs, personal blogs with MIDI music. Now it's like walking through a mega mall where every corner tries to sell you something or mine your data. We traded mystery for algorithms.

AI used to be this sci-fi concept we joked about in forums. Now it's helping people code, draw, talk, and even argue online faster than ever. Kinda wild how the tech we dreamed of is now the tech we're trying to regulate.

I still laugh at how people thought being a Roblox admin meant we had a secret control panel to summon unlimited Robux or spawn rare items at people's inventory.

There, it’s out. Cool visuals, sure, but the gameplay feels like anxiety wrapped in darkness with a side of leg-breaking mechanics. ...And now I wait for the swarm to come at me like I just insulted their digital religion. Let me guess—“skill issue”?

John Shedletsky @shedletsky.bsky.social · 03/05/2025
Every now and then I wonder—if I made a game today under a random alt, would people actually play it for what it is… Or would they spend the whole time trying to figure out if it's me behind the curtain?

John Shedletsky @shedletsky.bsky.social · 26/04/2025
Twitter used to be quick thoughts and bad jokes. Now it’s a chaos engine powered by AI art, and people arguing in threads 40 posts deep. And somehow… I’m still there.

Life’s weird. One day you’re chasing deadlines and debugging scripts, the next you’re wondering if you remembered to take your vitamins. Growing older feels like patching a game you didn’t design.

John Shedletsky @shedletsky.bsky.social · 20/04/2025
Okay, I’ve changed my mind. I’m not playing Forsaken. It’s not the gameplay. It’s the community. I’ve seen what y’all are posting on Twitter— Ship art, thirst edits, fanfics that make me question reality… Why is 1x1x1x1 being shipped with everyone? Why am I in some of these? I am deeply concerned.

Sometimes I think my greatest achievement on Roblox wasn’t anything I built… It was surviving the forums, the bacon hair debates, and the endless waves of “when’s tix coming back?” without completely losing my mind.

John Shedletsky @shedletsky.bsky.social · 11/04/2025
I keep telling myself I’ll try Forsaken one of these days—y’know, see what all the chaos is about. But then I remember: that means logging in, joining a server, and willingly throwing myself into a swarm of screaming players who think I’m apart of the lore.

John Shedletsky @shedletsky.bsky.social · 10/04/2025
I wonder what kind of legacy I accidentally left behind. I was just making weird hats and breaking Lua, and now there are entire mythos, fan theories, and games spiraling out of the chaos. Wild how doing your job turns into folklore.
2150
John Shedletsky @shedletsky.bsky.social · 10/04/2025
I haven’t even touched Forsaken, but every time someone explains the lore to me, it sounds like five horror stories, two anime plots, and a therapy session got blended into one.

John Shedletsky @shedletsky.bsky.social · 08/04/2025
Sometimes I think about how we used to build entire games out of bricks and dreams—now it’s particle effects, monetization strategies, and UI that looks like it came from a crypto startup. Not complaining. Just… different times.

42 years old. I used to script physics engines and eat chicken legs on Roblox. Now my knees pop when I stand up too fast. Aging is just patch notes for your body.

John Shedletsky @shedletsky.bsky.social · 06/04/2025
Sometimes I think the real legacy of Roblox isn’t the platform, or the games, or even the community— It’s the fact that we somehow convinced an entire generation that hats are a personality trait.

John Shedletsky @shedletsky.bsky.social · 04/04/2025
Sometimes I wonder if the modern Roblox experience is actually a game… or just a very elaborate social experiment with hats and physics glitches.

From what I’ve gathered, the ‘extra steps’ might be: Getting hunted by killers that look like they came straight out of a lost Roblox creepypasta. Watching your teammates get killed by the killer. There might be more that I'm missing.

John Shedletsky @shedletsky.bsky.social · 03/04/2025
Sometimes I sit back and think about how Roblox went from a weird little physics sandbox to whatever this is.
1110
John Shedletsky @shedletsky.bsky.social · 03/04/2025
Working at Roblox back in the day felt like building a spaceship mid-flight. No instructions, no guarantees, just pure chaos and innovation. One moment, we’re adding hats. The next, physics breaks and avatars start launching into the sky.

BloxCards is the only game where I can legally play a card of myself and still lose to a 12-year-old running some unhinged meta deck. Skill issue? Maybe. But I prefer to call it lore-accurate suffering.

John Shedletsky @shedletsky.bsky.social · 02/04/2025
Fun fact: A lot of you probably know 1x1x1x1 as some all-powerful entity in the game… but originally, they were just a random test account I made. The ‘hacker’ rumors? All community-made. The legend? Completely out of my hands. So technically, I created nothing, and somehow it became everything.
0141
John Shedletsky @shedletsky.bsky.social · 01/04/2025
So let me get this straight—the 1x1x1x1 account is just a plain, boring test account… but in Forsaken, they turned them into some chained-up, white-haired, anime-tier villain? Who decided they needed a glow-up, and why didn’t they consult me first?

John Shedletsky @shedletsky.bsky.social · 01/04/2025
Sometimes I wonder what life would be like if I never got involved with Roblox. Then I remember I’d probably still be making something weird on the internet anyway. So really, nothing changes.

John Shedletsky @shedletsky.bsky.social · 01/04/2025
They say "build it and they will come." In Roblox, it's more like "build it, they'll break it, and then you'll spend a week fixing it." But hey, at least the community is passionate.

Big news: I’m officially returning to Roblox as Head of Moderation. First order of business? Banning anyone who says ‘L’ in chat. Consider this your only warning. #Roblox
