Tradition check: passed!

To be clear, choosing not to allow Nazis to benefit from the fruits of your labor is not "censorship". It's "disassociation."

Refusing to disassociate is, by definition, associating with Nazis. And if you don't see why it's wrong to associate with Nazis, then you are *already too comfortable* with Nazis.

Sooo close...

Anyone else in the fedi a fan of #crokinole?

You know that feeling in (older) Bethesda games where you finish the intro and step out into the massive beautiful world full of possibilities and you just feel a sense of magical wonder?

If you want that feeling in real life, get cataract surgery. Stepping out my front door this morning was quite a breathtaking experience.

Since I only have one eye done at this point, I'm able to easily compare the two and I made this mock-up, for those who have never experienced it:

Couldn't find my cat after 15 minutes of looking for him.

Then I remembered that I only made this bed with two pillows.

Prototyping a #boardgame idea with #3DPrinting #MiniaturePaint #SuperGlue and #Magnets !

Wow, this is a shockingly blunt and factual description of Trump from a major news source.

Somebody's ready for the weekend.

I'm really enjoying #gamedev in #godot.

The theme system built into the engine made it really easy for me to create a dark mode in my game!

You can always tell when someone takes #GunSafety seriously. Sometimes they even break character because handling guns safely is so important that it becomes an automatic reflex.

Note: Drew Carey delivered his line seamlessly while performing this maneuver, but then again, he is a former Marine.

Strongly recommending the game #HighFleet.

I usually hate anything resembling a "bullet hell" game and sidescrollers aren't usually my preference, but this game is so singular and unique it needs to be experienced.

The premise is that you're in charge of a small fleet of gargantuan black-smoke-belching rocket-powered mountains of machines to run a guerilla war against a far superior force.

The graphics and sound design are superb, but the game itself is a masterclass on proper scoping. Everything that's included plays a vital part in making the game what it is and there's nothing extraneous.

The game is two-layer, much like XCOM. Half of it is frenetic dogfights between these massive rocket ships and the other half is a very challenging strategy/story layer about building your resistance.

Anyway, if you're a #gamedev and you want to see an example of an indie game done right, don't sleep on this one.

Was roughhousing with my dog this morning and after a brief accident, I now look like a video game character who just defeated a wyvern.

Some spooky shit going on in my backyard tonight.

"Reveal" is an interesting choice.

Made a map tonight for a game concept:

Well, that's disappointing.

Look, I get that marginalized communities are scared of the increase in far-right and outright fascist rhetoric, but enacting fascist laws to fight fascists is never going to be a good fucking idea.

The answer is not giving the government (which has fascists in it!) more power. The answer is #FreeSpeech and making sure that our arguments for inclusivity are more convincing than their arguments for hate.

Need to figure out how to get this metric lower...
