"come to europe" is the least helpful or realistic thing i can say to trans people and other people at risk in the US but i honestly don't know what else to say. my god if anything please stay safe, organize, and hopefully we can see this whole mess through together

ICE raids are starting on Tuesday in Chicago.

Yell “ICE” and “LA MIGRA” to disrupt them. Notify people and use your privilege as a citizen to make ICE’s job as difficult as possible.

Fascism has been here. It’s just loud now. Time to be loud too.

since you've previously revealed yourself to be a "Guy who makes games in the genres he wants to play" sort of person, have you tried (the) Gnorp Apologue [sic]? those freaky little industrious beasts seem up your alley

it's really good and really nice and i 100%'d it. takes me back to mid-90s macintosh shareware... it would've flourished back then too

Do you ever wish you were known as something else than "the cookie clicker dev"?

so the dutch are very, very enthusiastic about fireworks. as a result new year's is usually not a great time for pets or people sensitive to noise. we've recently moved to a less populated area and expected our dog to have a nicer time with the fireworks being more distant. anyway today i've learned that in this part of the countryside people like to spend the day firing homemade carbide cannons built out of old milk jugs

happy new year from the folks at DashNet HQ! treating ourselves to some seasonal entertainment

i need u to be aware that my ex-bf was so ridiculously addicted to cookie clicker that its one of the reasons i dumped his ass

why is it that every game dev i've heard the ramblings of (you, Toby Fox, Mortis Ghost, etc.) are utterly insane. complete fools. is it a disease or is there a rare strain of court jester that leads people down this path. or is it a result of the brain damage that comes with figuring out how to create games?

hee hee hoo hoo
