My peeps, take this to heart. You’re damaging your community (both its growth and sustainability *and* the individual folks who belong to it) by sticking all the important stuff just in Discord https://mastodon.social/@gamingonlinux/111165769496298049

The Bored Ape NFT team hosted an event in Hong Kong where they blasted attendees with UV light, giving them (temporary) eye damage.
Crypto is a gift that keeps on giving.

I have been working on Puzzmo, in secret, for almost two years now with @orta.
Puzzmo is *the* place to play daily newspaper puzzle games online.
TODAY we are launching a brand new daily crossword (designed to be approachable like all of my games) alongside with 2 other new games from me (and 3 older ones reimagined)
During prelaunch we only let in 500 people a day, so get at em!
I hope you enjoy Puzzmo!
‘Tis the day! 🤩

Weathering With You was so so good. Watching it in the theater was absolutely worth waiting for.
Has anyone here had good experiences with generative AI writing code? I've tried GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT, and I haven't had much confidence in the output aside from trivial things.
And then I see stuff like this and I'm wondering if I'm the dumb one in this ecosystem 🤔 github.com/irgolic/AutoPR

Watched Suzume this weekend in an empty theater. Please go see it before it's out of rotation - it's well worth your time.
I'm so impressed with the turn out this year for Puzzled Pint. It's been 100+ people every month since December 2022. Meetup(dot)com for all it's issues atleast once in while pops off.
PuzzledPint Reminder Post. This Tuesday, on 11th.

Really hoping I can get back to doing some regular livestreams this year. I think between some programming projects and video-puzzle-games, I can do atleast one a week.
I’m always forgetting to post here about my newsletter 🤦🏼♀️
In the last issue, I shared a type tour of Indiranagar, my old neighbourhood in Bangalore, and put together a small showcase of Kannada newspaper nameplates from my collection https://us12.campaign-archive.com/?u=00db3d2423772a3f86d6e22a1&id=6746e0895d
Finally found an inexpensive way to join the fediverse while still using my domain/identity with @takahe
