Been working on menus for Meat Derby, trying to make it feel like a horrific and mundane machine, like a vending machine that dispenses dessicated corpses. I'm liking using the blood smear focus marker, and the little conveyor window for network options. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #meatderby

Transphobia as we know it couldn't exist without white supremacy and colonialism.
The imposition of the gender binary reduced a global kaleidoscope of genders to two and made them immutable.
White trans people should be anti-racist and, if that being the right thing to do isn't reason enough, our own self-interest should be.
I'm telling my fellow white trans people to care about bigotries that don't apply to them but really is that even true?
There's no transmisogyny without transmisogynoir.

I posted this on Tumblr. I didn't think it would go far. But ... people have clipped it from Tumblr, shared in on Facebook, Reddit, Instagram, it's had at least ONE AI read on Tiktok, and a few on Youtube ... so ... just so you know who posted it ... Hi. My pharmacist stole my deadname.

seeing pushback against procedural generation as a result of alleged "AI" and that's really fucking sad
good procedural generation is hard. good procedural generation is bespoke and intentional. good procedural generation is artistic and creative. please don't lump it in with the slop generated through machine learning π
EDIT: procgen is not AI, it's a 40+ year old game design technique, see: https://peoplemaking.games/@eniko/113158903401769257
This was the second #AshPlushie I made, vaguely inspired by a white bunny plushie I had as a kid that my mum sent to me in Sweden to comfort me in a period where I was feeling really lonely. Also a good opportunity to try out making ears and legs. #punkplushies #punkcrafts
...but the campaign got taken down the year after, and it was extremely hard tracking down the fonts for the longest time.
so, someone on reddit randomly popped up with a sketchy download link to it, so i snagged it and plopped it on internet archive so that this shit doesn't get lost lmfao

It's been a little while since I showed off #MeatDerby for #ScreenshotSaturday. I've got ok network multiplayer working, car customization, and weapons and accessories working, and today I added a new accessory/weapon, giant fuckin buzzsaws out the side of the car. I wasn't sure if I could make the animation feel good with just two frames but I think it's actually working pretty well, even in the tricker more broken down stages of the parts.

A killer feature cohost had compared to every other social media site I've been using is rich webpage embeds. Any webpage you linked to, it had a high chance of embedding a usable, readable, etc. copy of whatever is at the site. It wasn't just OpenGraph previews, but a richer embed of the site's actual content much of the time. Means there was less of a culture of sharing inaccessible screenshots, and more just pasting links.
Cohost announcing its closure has got me playing around with my own fediverse compatible website again. Looks like the hosting for the main site for microblog(dot)pub, the software I run, is down so I've shifted to my version of the repo to GitHub because that'sand Imma push my updates there. https://github.com/acegiak/microblog.pub
This was actually my first #AshPlushie I made, sewing together parts from several different victims including an ikea 8-ball plushie that became the basis for this penguin orb friend that went to Emily #punkcrafts #punkplushies
