A Modest Proposal

Why are ethics questions always like:
"is it ethical to steal bread to feed your starving family?"
And not:
"is it ethical to sell bread when families are starving?"

Work hard to deserve the trans people in your life.
Blues: The world is fucked
Punk: The world is fucked and I'm pissed
Emo: The world is fucked and I'm sad
Grunge: The world is fucked and I'm medicated
Ska: The world is fucked and I have a trumpet
my more controversial take is I LOVE and support ROM hackers and modders & feel strongly that they are legit game devs who deserve hella props for dedication to their craft but i know this one is kind of fiddly
like there's companies like bethesda who also love their modders and will even hire from their modder pool, but then companies like nintendo who despise them 😫

Slowly trying to crawl out of my creative slump, so I recently got the idea to try making a gelatinous cube shader that actually feels volumetric ✨
Those poor adventurers tho 💀
Some assholes worshipping a sun god from down south just put up a fort, saying this is the edge of civilization.
They are harrying the lizard-folk in the swamp and have killed a bunch of the cave clans. The delicate peace everyone has worked hard to achieve is falling apart.
They're saying that you all are bandits, sworn to chaos and need to be killed. They've put prices on your heads.

Have you heard? #GodotEngine is having a documentation sprint to bring the documentation coverage, and quality, up to the expected standard ahead of #Godot4! 🎓

To get you in the mood we've also updated main sections, renaming and moving things around. The sidebar may also feel a little different, let me know what you think 👀
@JoscelynTransient @Tattie @siege Egg prime directive. Can't tell someone they're trans until they're already questioning. They'll just retreat more deeply into the closet.

More progress!
🚨🌿GRASS GIF ALERT🌿🚨
In #Techtonica, the grass ~fwooshes~ when you build machines, waves in the cavern breeze, and twirls below the M.O.L.E. (our black hole terrain manipulator).
Not sure we've been this pumped about grass before, but here we are.
Traffic is wild out there. 🤣
Up til now, cars would drive in a random direction and every few seconds would turn a random amount. This was chaotic. _This_ is meant to be adding tiles that force the cars to turn corners.
It's not working hahaha. As usual for me though, if it generates good gifs, it's worth pursuing.

Ludum Dare progress!
Every few months, I find myself recommending basically everyone read this one article about the protactile deafblind language. But particularly relevant to mastodon users (AND people working on automated image captioning) is its great discussion of what makes good alt text.
There is such a thing as excess detail! It may make you look like a True Ally, but you're not helping blind people. #screenreaders #accessibility
